Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 732

Bianca felt relieved when she found that Luke was alive.

Around noon, Tommy said that he was hungry, while Old Master Rayne said that he was craving cornbread buns with collard greens.

He was already quite old, and he missed comfort food from his younger days. Furthermore, he was sickly, and it was natural that he had specific cravings.

Bianca almost missed the taste of cornbread too.

She had lived with her grandfather since young. They were poor, and they ate cornbread for most meals.

Grandpa used to make his own cornbread in the kitchen, and Bianca had learned how to do so by watching him.

Cornbread was quite tasteless and rough, but it was delicious to her because she was hungry and poor. Now that her living conditions had improved and the food at every meal was of much higher quality, it was nonetheless healthy to eat grains sometimes. It might help Old Master Rayne in his recovery too.

Bianca got the driver to go to the grocery store and bought a bagful of cornmeal and collard greens. She would be making cornbread for her grandfather this time.

When the driver returned with the groceries, Bianca went to the kitchen with a caretaker, while the other caretaker took care of Old Master Rayne in the front yard.

Tommy stood on a stool and watched his Mommy and the caretaker hard at work.

Bianca might not have cooked for a long time, but she maintained her culinary skills.

She mixed the cornmeal and flour in a bowl with the correct proportions, added some sugar, baking soda, salt, and eggs, and mixed it well with her hands.

While she did so, she gave instructions to the caretaker. "Aunt Jemma, please wash the collard greens and remove the wilted leaves, then poach them for a while and mince them."

Aunt Jemma was impressed with what Bianca was doing. "I didn't expect that you would know how to make cornbread. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't."

Aunt Jemma was born and raised in the city, and she had never learned how to make cornbread.

She became a caretaker because she had debts to pay. She had used all her savings to fund her two sons' weddings and houses.

Fortunately for her, her employer was kind to her and paid well.

The old man was charitable and easy to please, the children were smart and obedient, and the female employer was empathic and gentle. She took care of her employer's family as though they were her own.

Bianca smiled gently. "You've never lived in the countryside, Aunt Jemma, so I don't blame you if you don't know how to make cornbread. I haven't had cornbread for many years. If Grandpa hadn't mentioned it, I've already forgotten how much I enjoyed it."

They continued with their work without saying another word.

After Aunt Jemma minced the collard greens, Bianca deftly mixed it evenly with the cornbread dough. Then, she separated the dough into equal portions, picked up a piece, and kneaded it into the shape of a bun.

Soon, a cornbread bun was ready for baking.

"Mommy! I wanna learn how to make cornbread buns too…" Tommy was messing around with a portion of dough.

He tried to copy what his mother did, but his hands were too small and weak. The resulting bun was ugly and misshapen.

Bianca stifled a laugh when she saw what her son did. She did not want to discourage him, so she tried to praise him, "Keep up the good work, my baby. You'll make a better bun next time."

Tommy pouted, and his little face turned red. "Don't make fun of me, Mommy!"

Meanwhile, Tommy was sitting on the floor and eating one of the animal-shaped buns happily.

"Cornbread is delicious, Mommy. I've never tasted anything better. Can we eat cornbread every day?" He said.

The little boy was used to high-quality food. He had never tasted peasant food like cornbread before.

That was why he thought that cornbread was the most delicious food ever.

Bianca could not help but smile when she saw how the old man and the little boy treated cornbread as some rare delicacy.

Tommy was born with a silver spoon, and he did not know any hardships. In the future, he would learn how to appreciate the luxuries that his parents gave him.

Many years later, when Tommy grew to become an influential figure, he would be stationed at a remote village for a secret mission and would be forced to eat cornbread for every meal.

By then, he wished that he could go back in time and slap his younger self!

…

Bianca returned to her bedroom and cleaned her hands. She was about to pick up her phone and call Luke when she saw the front gate of the mansion open.

A familiar black Bentley drove into the driveway.

Tears filled Bianca's eyes when she saw that familiar man in the driver's seat!
