Chapter 39\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beads of cold sweat slid down Rowan\u2019s face as he nearly dropped to his knees in apology. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry, Mr. Hale! I thought you meant the delivery guy when you said to bring the person up\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton shot him a frigid glance. \u201cAre you really clueless or intellectually challenged?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI-I think Mrs. Hale is making a peace offering! She didn\u2019t even send food previously. Now, she\u2019s willing to order delivery for you. That means she\u2019s putting thought into it. This is progress! Give it some time, and she\u2019ll be delivering the meals in person!\u201d Rowan scrambled to save his hide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton\u2019s frown deepened. \u201cDo I look like I was born yesterday? Get out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rowan fled at lightning speed, leaving Hayden behind. He, on the other hand, was more than happy to watch the chaos unfold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He teased, \u201cDidn\u2019t you say it\u2019s all well with Sienna now? I don\u2019t see how your food takeout reflects that. Are you being serious with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou get out too,\u201d Clayton snapped, chasing him out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGot it. This single man can only go make do at some random restaurant,\u201d Hayden said in a cheerful, sing-song voice as he headed for the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he left, he added insult to injury one last time with a sly grin. \u201cI\u2019m so jealous of you. After all, wives who care enough to replenish their husbands\u2019 bodies are rare indeed!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air around Clayton seemed to stifle as he stared daggers at the rich spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He dialed Sienna\u2019s number and said with barely restrained anger, \u201cWhat\u2019s the meaning of this food?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the other end, Sienna\u2019s voice was casual and unbothered. \u201cIt\u2019s for you to eat. Why? Do you not like the dishes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She paused and switched to a bright and cheerful tone. \u201cOh yeah! There\u2019s actually another deluxe set of dishes. They\u2019re perfect for executives who frequently work overtime. If you need it next time, I can help you order it. It\u2019s guaranteed to keep you energized, and you can go at it all night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton felt the vein at his temple throbbing as he listened to her sarcastic words. \u201cI told you to bring me food, and you sent me takeout? You\u2019re just brushing me off!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t takeout food still food? I spent about 3,000 dollars on it and even had it personally delivered to you. Am I not doing my part as a good wife?\u201d Sienna retorted righteously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton emphasized coldly, \u201cI wanted you to cook it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, that service\u2026\u201d Sienna dragged out the words, her tone suddenly turning icy. \u201cI\u2019ve scrapped it. Who was it that used to complain that the food was too sweet, too salty, too sour, disgusting, ugly, and meant for dogs?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re so picky. That\u2019s the food you get for today. Take it or leave it. Didn\u2019t you say even a housekeeper could do what I do? In that case, I won\u2019t compete with the professionals.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton didn\u2019t have any good comebacks. Just as he opened his mouth and said, \u201cSienna, you\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hung up on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Across from her, Michelle poked at her salad with a fork, her eyes widened. \u201cDid you really order takeout for him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna snorted and replied, \u201cYeah. I\u2019m already being merciful by not ordering one of those bargain combo meals, but he still has the nerve to lecture me. Men these days are way too spoiled.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle laughed so hard she nearly tipped over. \u201cYou should\u2019ve had the delivery guy take a photo of him signing for it. I bet\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n

his face was so long it could break the world record.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna shrugged. \u201cHe\u2019s a petty guy. He might sue the delivery guy for violating his privacy and turn it around to threaten me into doing this or that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as they were talking, a middle-aged woman who had permed hair and was wearing a floral blouse approached them with a warm smile. She handed them two flyers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLadies, you both look so young and pretty. I don\u2019t think you have boyfriends yet, right? I work for a high-end matchmaking site. We offer quality men. They\u2019re all over five feet ten inches tall and have respectable jobs, with annual salaries starting at a million. Are you interested?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle was about to wave her off, but Sienna beat her to it and took the flyers with a bright smile. \u201cThank you, ma\u2019am. We really need this. We\u2019ll take a good look.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s great!\u201d The middle-aged woman nodded in satisfaction and cheerfully moved on to the next table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle eyed Sienna suspiciously. \u201cMost of those sites are scams. Even if Clayton is awful, there\u2019s no need to panic and seek random dates, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
