Chapter 127

The conference room fell inte stence. Brian’s head tilted slightly to one side, a faint blush spreading across his cheek.

His eyes shifted through various emotions before finally selling on helplessness.

Jessica glared at him fiercely, a trace of blood from his lip still visible on her mouth.

Brian turned his head, offering his right cheek. “Will you come home with me after you’ve cooled down?”

Jessica instinctively wanted to slap him, but Drian suddenly pulled her into a light embrace.

They hadn’t seen each other for days, and he’d truly missed her.

Jessica stiffened for a moment, then began to struggle. But the more she fought, the lighter Brian held her. After a long standoff, she said helplessly, “The chef stays. You can get lost!”

Brian sighed. He’d actually hoped Jessica would come home with him, but that was clearly impossible now. He didn’t dare push Jessica too hard.

He released her. “Then you…”

Jessica stormed off, too furious to stick around and listen to his rambling. The cleaning lady hurried after her down the hallway, looking worried.

“Ms. Grant, the floor’s slippery! Please slow down, you might fall. The cleaning lady had no idea Brian was the boss. She didn’t even glance at him, just anxiously followed Jessica, terrified she might slip.

Brian could only shake his head helplessly. At least Jessica had agreed to keep the staff. His relief didn’t last long, though.

As soon as Brian got back to Atkinson Group, Jackson’s people reported that the chef he’d sent over had been immediately redirected to Gabriela’s

house.

Brian was so angry he actually laughed. But there wasn’t a damn thing he could do about Jessica

After several hectic days, Brian finally managed to leave work early and return to Atkinson Villa. He found Sylvie flipping through the recipes Jessica had

left behind.

Curious, he took them to look. Everything was recorded in meticulous detail, down to the exact amount of salt and precise cooking times

It reminded Brian of when they’d just gotten married. Jessica couldn’t cook at all back then

She’d once managed to set the pan on fire and make something as simple as scrambled eggs. The flames had shot up so high they’d singed her bangs

into curls

He’d been so terrified that day, he’d banned Jessica from the kitchen.

After Jacob was born, Jessica had somehow learned to cook. Gradually, her dishes became Impressive perfect in appearance, aroma, and taste.

Brian flipped through the thick stack of recipes, each page filled with dishes–fried, steamed, braised, stewed–every cooking method imaginable. Jessica had learned to make all of these from scratch, just for him and Jacob.

A thought struck Brian Maybe he could learn to cook for Jessica too

“Sylvie, do we have enough ingredients in the Midge?” Brian paused, realizing that after all these years of marriage, he didn’t even know what Jessica liked to eat. All he knew was that she preferred lighter flavors.

“Yes, we do.” Sylvie was caught off guard for a moment before catching on. “Mr. Atkinson, what would you like for dinner tonight?”

Jessica’s notes on the recipe specified that Sylvie should prepare different dishes for each of the seven days, ensuring nutritional balance while following

the order listed.

She never expected Brian to actually request something specific.
