Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1044

Vera was not mad at Mr. Lowell's words. Ralph happened to come back just in time to hear his words.

"It's a pity that you failed to meet my requirements."

Ralph let out a cry. He looked very disappointed.

It seemed that this business deal would not go through.

Vera was not angry. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lowell, I knew that I would not succeed from the moment you put forward the conditions. However, I realized that although Mrs. Lowell has passed away, she'll forever remain in your heart. Moreover..." She looked down and seemed to have thought of someone.

"You are very blessed to have been married and experienced love."

Unlike her. She hadn't been in a relationship, much less lost someone she loved.

Mr. Lowell looked at her. His lips moved, but he did not say a word.

"Well, I am glad to have been able to see Mrs. Lowell's menu. I am honored, but my father is still in the hospital and he's waiting for us. Thus, I have to go now."

After that, she got up and took Mabie's hand. She whispered, "Goodbye, Mr. Lowell."

Mabie was disappointed by the outcome and was pulled away by Vera. Just as they were about to walk away, they heard Mr. Lowell's voice.

"Please wait a moment."

Vera stopped and turned back.

"Mr. Lowell, is there anything else?"

"100,000 dollars per year. What do you think?"

Vera asked, "Huh?"

She did not seem to have heard him clearly. However, Mabie's eyes were wide open. It was as if she could not believe what she had heard.

"Although you did not meet my requirements for free rent, I can reduce the rent to 100,000 dollars per year. I wonder whether you're satisfied with the rent, Miss Zais?"

Vera held her breath and said, "Mr. Lowell, what are you..."

"You are the first chef who has been able to read what's going on in my mind. Those chefs who came to meet me in the past... Some of them just wanted to show off their cooking skills and some made empty promises about not giving up trying to replicate my wife's recipes."

But only he knew.

He knew that his wife had passed away and there was no one in the world who could recreate his wife's dishes.

No matter how similar the dish looked, his wife's dishes had a unique taste.

Vera decided to make a dish according to his state of mind. No one liked the bitter taste, so that plate of pasta... was unpalatable.

However, after the bitterness passed, he felt that there was a faint sweetness at the tip of his tongue.

Just like every night, while he mourned for his wife, he recalled the sweetness of her smile.

"Therefore, I've decided to offer you 100,000 dollars of annual rent. I also hope... that her efforts will not go to waste."

Mabie felt like she was in a dream after exiting the Lowell family villa and getting into the car.

"This is incredible, Vera! Why didn't you tell me in advance? I thought that you would try your best to recreate one of the dishes on the menu. I never thought that you would create a new dish."

Ralph also nodded and praised her.

"Yes, I have long said that you are a smart woman.

I did not expect you to be this amazing."

Vera smiled faintly and explained softly, "In fact, it's not that I'm smart, but I know that every chef has their own taste. It's just like how every person is different. Though they might look the same, they are not the same person."

As she spoke, her mind slowly drifted away.

Mr. Lowell stared at her just as she was about to leave after accepting his offer. It was as if he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

At the time, she had no idea what he wanted to say, so she could only quietly stare back at him.
