The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 195

Theo's face was serious as he turned to grab some eggs from the fridge.

In the kitchen, the two of them were quietly getting on with their tasks, no longer speaking.

As Theo beat the eggs, his gaze was fixed on the woman beside him, who was diligently at work, never moving away.

Dinner was ready quickly, and Elinor said to Theo, "You go ahead and take the food to the table; I'll quickly pop to the loo and then join you!"

Theo picked up the dishes and left the kitchen.

Just then, Devin entered from outside, shocked to see Theo actually doing such chores himself. He quickly glanced around, noticing there was no housemaid in sight!

Those irresponsible slackers had probably gone off to laze around somewhere while he was away!

"Mr. Blanchet, when did you get back? Hand those over to me; you shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff!"

Theo glanced at Devin, didn't hand him anything, went to the table to put down the dishes, sat down, and said nonchalantly:

"You think I can't do this stuff, but the mistress of this house can?"

Devin was taken aback, quickly grasping his meaning, and awkwardly explained:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Blanchet, my bad! I just went out to water the garden; didn't know Mrs. Blanchet woke up and wanted dinner. The maids are a bit unhappy with Mrs. Blanchet because of the whole incident with Ms. Blanchet, so"

With a quiet demeanor, Theo slowly straightened his shirt cuffs and said, "If they're unhappy, fire them all."

Theo's tone was calm, but there was an undeniable authority that was quite intimidating.

Devin didn't dare to defend the maids. He could tell Mr. Blanchet was genuinely furious, not just bluffing.

Elinor returned from the bathroom and, noticing Devin, politely asked, "Devin, would you like to join us for dinner?"
