Chapter 62

Alexander stopped his spoon and looked at Lily. “Do you think I should sit at the dining table like a child who can‘t take care of himself? Should I be waiting for a housekeeper to do everything, such as feed and wipe the table clean for me?”

Lily choked on her food, trying to imagine the situation. “Pfft!”

Although the description was a bit outrageous, it was almost the same as the current moment. “At least you shouldn‘t have to cook the food yourself,” Lily suddenly became curious about his life, as if it was not the same as what she imagined.

“If I were to choose, I wouldn‘t want to,” Alexander did not deny that, given his background and status.

Of course, he did not need to do these trivial “little things” himself.

“Then you don‘t want to?” Lily was even more curious. Maybe his hobby was cooking? Otherwise, why did Alexander push her out of the kitchen and take over himself? Alexander lightly glanced at Lily and shook his head. “I studied abroad for a while.” “So?” Halfway through his words, Lily still did not understand what he meant. Even if he studied abroad, given the Russell family‘s economic conditions, having a house and a housekeeper to take care of Alexander was a simple matter. Or was it because he did not like having a housekeeper at home, and that was why he did things himself?

Alexander took a sip of the soup and answered Lily‘s question, “As the successor of La Beauté Group and the Russell family, I had to take many forms of training, not only business management. During that time, I learned to cook. Let‘s consider that as a stress reliever.” He did not continue to say much about the topic, nor did he tell her what he experienced during that period when he could not stay by her side.

“So...you didn‘t let me continue cooking just now because you had no trust in my cooking skills?” Lily sipped her soup and thought it tasted good. He should not question her skills even if he was a skilled cook.

“There was too much smoke in the kitchen,” After a pause, Alexander added, “You don‘t need to cook anymore.”

‘I knew it!‘ Lily was surprised.

Too much smoke? She knew Alexander had the most high–end kitchen gadgets, and even the smoke exhaust was of a professional level. Lily did not feel or smell any smoke, especially compared to the kitchen in the house she had rented before. Alexander‘s kitchen differed entirely from hers.

Lily thought of Alexander‘s words: “Women should go to the hall and the kitchen, just like my Lily.” At that time, she felt pretty proud. She felt that he would depend on her more because she fed him.

Alexander used to eat ready–made meals and would never cut vegetables or wash the dishes.

However, he pushed Lily away and did not let her interfere because “there was too much smoke?”

It turned out that a man who truly loved his wife would not want her to do house chores. He would only hold his wife‘s hand and take good care of
