"Yes. You helped take care of Theo, and you also helped me with the clues about Dominic's whereabouts. I've been back in Canada for so long, and
I haven't even thanked you properly yet, so I'm going t o cook tonight. Sorry if it's not good." Yvonne placed all the bags in her hand on the kitchen counter.
The presidential suite was just like an apartment. It was equipped with a spacious and luxurious kitchen, which had all kinds of kitchenware and ingredients, making it very convenient for cooking.
Shane also put down the bags in his hands, and his pale, handsome face was slightly flushed. "So you’re making this meal tonight especially for me?"
"Yes." Yvonne nodded.
Shane's eyes softened. "Then I’ll eat it all even if it's bad!"
This was her first time cooking for him.
However, when Yvonne heard this, she was not touched at all. Instead, she rolled her eyes. "You're so silly. If it’s bad? How could that be possible? I've been learning all these years. Although I can't compete with a three-star Michelin chef in terms of culinary skills, I’m actually better than most chefs from normal restaurants." "Yeah, yeah. You're right." Shane quickly agreed.
All he thought about was the joy he felt from her gesture of cooking for him personally. He was not actually listening to anything else at all so everything she said was right.
Yvonne was a little bit dumbfounded when she looked at Shane's silly look, which was rare.
"Where's Theo?" She suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Theo when she came in.
Shane finally calmed down when she asked. He pointed outside the kitchen. "He's taking a shower in the room."
"I'll go check on him." Yvonne walked out of the kitchen.
Theo had grown to be independent very early on. He slept by himself at the age of three and started showering and getting dressed by himself at the age o f three and a half. She didn’t need to worry about him a t all as he had always been mature.
Although Yvonne was grateful for his maturity, she was also a little disappointed.
This is because when children were too precocious and matured, mothers would have less opportunities t o do things for them.
"Theo, are you in there?" Yvonne came to the bathroom door and knocked gently.
There was no response from the bathroom, but the sudden sound of water flowing meant that someone
was inside.
Yvonne knew that this was Theo’s way of responding t o her.
She smiled slightly and was relieved.
Although Theo started taking showers by himself very early on, he was still a five-year-old child after all. She was still worried that something might happen to him during the shower, such as falling down or drowning.
So she would feel at ease every time when she heard Theo's response.
"Okay, Mommy hears you. I won’t disturb you then. Don't shower for too long, you might get dizzy.
Mommy will go out first." Yvonne then turned around and left.
In the kitchen, Shane was sorting the vegetables into the fridge. When he saw that she was back, he smiled and asked, "Is Theo done taking his shower?"
"Not yet." Yvonne shook her head.
Shane closed the refrigerator door. "Want to start cooking?"
"Yes." Yvonne rolled up her sleeves.
Shane looked at her. "How about I help you?"
Yvonne had no objections.
It was getting late already and she didn't know how long it was going to take if she did it all by herself, so a helping hand would certainly speed things up.
Therefore, she had no reason to say no.
Shane was in a good mood after getting her permission. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and started working.
They were talking and laughing in the kitchen. In just over an hour, a table full of delicious dishes was ready.
Shane helped bring the food out, and Yvonne went to the room to get Theo.
After she brought Theo out, she went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine.
