After saying that, she turned and went to the nursery to see my sister.<\/p>\n
I wiped the corner of my eye and left.<\/p>\n
Back at Caleb’s house, the father and sons didn’t know I’d returned.<\/p>\n
Seeing me empty-handed, Leo complained he was hungry.<\/p>\n
“Mom, I want fried chicken wings, meatball pasta. Noah wants roasted ribs.”<\/p>\n
“And Dad, his stomach is sensitive, he wants the vegetable soup you make.”<\/p>\n
Not a single dish they could eat immediately.<\/p>\n
The Caleb men all had a family history of sensitive stomachs.<\/p>\n
They were all picky eaters.<\/p>\n
Some lactose intolerant.<\/p>\n
Some allergic to nuts.<\/p>\n
Some couldn’t handle spicy seasonings.<\/p>\n
If the food was even slightly greasy, indigestion followed.<\/p>\n
We used to have a private chef, but after marriage…<\/p>\n
My mother-in-law, Helen said since I stayed home all day, I should learn to<\/p>\n
care for the family.<\/p>\n
So, I started learning from scratch.<\/p>\n
Now, I could make palatable meals meeting their requirements.<\/p>\n
I became a wife who could properly serve the Caleb family.<\/p>\n
But also a complete housekeeper.<\/p>\n
Now, coming to my senses, I realized:<\/p>\n
What problem couldn’t be solved with money?<\/p>\n
Not to mention Caleb’s company’s substantial annual revenue, just the trust<\/p>\n
fund my mother set up for me provided steady monthly income.<\/p>\n
No need to make life so hard for myself.<\/p>\n
I tossed my purse onto the console and looked at them.<\/p>\n
“Tired today. Not cooking. Order takeout.”<\/p>\n
“Tomorrow, I’ll hire a chef through an agency.”<\/p>\n
“From now on, tell the chef what you want to eat.”<\/p>\n
I headed upstairs. Caleb stopped me.<\/p>\n
“Annabel, what do you mean? We have a guest today. How can you make her<\/p>\n
eat takeout?”<\/p>\n
“Guest?” I slowly turned, looking at Sophia.<\/p>\n
“Just your company assistant.”<\/p>\n
“What, does the boss’s wife need to personally cook and serve her?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
