Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 299

The road back to Clear River Town was neither short nor long.

When Serene and Wilson were out of the hospital, there was a minor road congestion at the city center.

It was already around four in the afternoon when they were finally on the flyover.

Serene was seated on the passenger seat and as she felt bored, her hands played with her phone as she scrolled through Weibo and social media.

Wilson was rather reserved but Serene had always been a chatterbox. While holding her phone, she casually started a conversation with Wilson. “Master, where does your relative from Clear River Town live at? Who knows, I might know them.”

Clear River Town was not big and as a local, Serene knew almost everyone from the town. Even if she did not or was unsure of their name, they would still be considered a familiar face if they bumped into each other on the street.

Unexpectedly, Wilson answered her impassively, “What does it have to do with you?”

Serene was silenced.

Sigh, he was so mean. She could not even ask him about this.

Serene’s phone rang and it was a call from her mother.

She picked up the phone and over the phone, her mother asked, “Renie, where are you?”

“I’m on the flyover now and will be home in about half an hour.”

“Then I can start cooking now.”

Serene responded, “Yes, go ahead. Oh right, mom, I want to eat braised prawns.”

Serene’s mother chuckled. “I know you like to eat prawns so I went to the market early in the morning to get sand shrimps for you. Chainey is by your side, right? It’s his first time coming over for a meal. I don’t know what he likes so ask him for me.”

“Huh…? Forget-forget about it.”

Serene’s mother replied, “This child... What do you mean by forgetting about it? You just have to ask him a question, it’s not like I’m asking you to do the cooking.”

Serene bit her lips and hesitated for a moment. “About that, mom, Chainer didn’t follow me home.”

“Huh? Didn’t we agree on it? You were supposed to bring Chainey home for a meal. Why is there a sudden change of plans?”

“He…”

With the phone against her ear, Serene was trying to come up with a lie. Suddenly, her phone was snatched away by the man driving.

Serene turned her head toward him. One of his hands was on the steering wheel while the other was holding the phone. He politely said, “Auntie, nice to meet you. I’m not a picky eater. I’ll eat anything you make.”

Serene was speechless.

After Wilson said those words, she could hear Serene’s mom happily repeat “Good!” multiple times over the phone.

Serene’s mother had never met Chainer. She had only seen his photos and because of that, she could not recognize the voice over the phone.

After the call ended, Serene frowned. “My mom asked what Chainer likes to eat, not you.”

Wilson raised his brows. “I gave you a ride and it isn’t for free.”

Serene blew a fuse and glared at him from the passenger seat. This man…would haggle with her for even the smallest of things, huh!

She was just hitching a ride, so how dare he demand interest from her! He was really stingy to the extreme!

Judging from how Wilson enjoyed the finer things in his life, how could he be so stingy and fussy!

Hmm…? That was not right. What he meant was that he wanted to go to her house for dinner, right?

Serene instantly became serious and looked at him with a stern expression. “Master, didn’t you want to go to Clear River Town to visit your relative? Why do you want to go to my house?”

Did his relative not want to invite him over for dinner?

“I’ll visit them tomorrow.”

Serene sneered. ‘If he’s going to his relative’s house tomorrow, why does he want to go Clear River Town tonight!’

However, she dared not voice her discontent. Throughout the whole journey, she was thinking of how to make him drop the idea of going over to her house for dinner.

…

When they arrived at Clear River Town, Serene looked at the scenery along the way to her house and her mood lifted.

As they were passing by the streets, Serene spotted a restaurant that sold her favorite braised dishes. She then turned around and made a request to Wilson. “Stop for a while, stop. I want to buy some dishes.”
