Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2312

Rachel Wood never thought Sebastian Brenand would one day resemble a stay-at-home husband in the past.

That was a phrase that would never be used to describe him back then.

He was never the type to do laundry or other household chores, let alone cook.

She stood by the door and silently observed him for a very long time before walking up to embrace him tightly from behind.

The simple hug instantly made both their hearts melt.

“Honey, you’re cooking,” she said.

“Yes, I’m cooking your favorite asparagus dish," he answered as he looked back over his shoulder at her. "I've already cooked stir-fried shrimps, steamed fish, and a beef stew. I’ll make a cucumber salad and oysters with garlic sauce later.

“I’ve also boiled your favorite herbal chicken soup and soaked some bird’s nests that I’ll prepare for you before bed. It's good for you and the baby,” he told her.

At that moment, Sebastian did look like a model house-husband.

Her heart warmed at the thought.

“Thank you, Honey.”

He chuckled. “You should thank me by eating more, all right?”

Rachel nodded.

A nanny walked in at that moment, blushing when she saw the couple being so intimate together.

She seemed at a loss, unsure whether to continue walking forward or back away.

Sebastian had called ahead to inform her he would be cooking personally tonight.

Furthermore, Rachel had gone to bed early, so the nanny had retired to her own room.

She didn’t realize she had slept for so long.

She intended to ask if Sebastian needed help in the kitchen at first but ended up walking into their private moment.

She would be happy enough if that man was one-tenth as good as Sebastian.

Sebastian quickly placed his wife's hands on his waist again once the coast was clear.

Then, he tossed the cooked asparagus onto a nearby plate. “All right, she’s gone. We can continue where we left off.”

She felt herself blushing again at his words. “Let’s be more careful. After all, there are outsiders in the house.”

“It’s fine, they’ll get used to it soon,” he said.

“But I’m not used to it.”

“That’s fine because you’ll get used to it, too,” he teased with a grin.

“I’m going to ignore you and wait for dinner in the dining room,” she retorted with a head shake.

“Okay, but give me a kiss.”
