Chapter 302 Jesse Learns Nydia has Returned Home

Nydia hesitated at the Pascall’s doorstep, but eventually rang the doorbell.

“Missus?” Julia was shocked when she opened the door and saw Nydia. She didn’t expect her to be back.

“Hi Julia, long time no see.” Nydia went in and found that nothing had changed since she left, except that it felt a bit empty.

“Missus, you’re finally back.” Julia got tears in her eyes. “Mr. Pascall hasn’t smiled once while you were away.”

Hearing this, Nydia felt a sharp pain in her chest.

“I’m going to my room.” She knew Julia would tell Jesse she was back.

When she got to her room, she found that it was exactly the same as when she left. Even the location of the iron chain was the same, but there was no dust in the room. Obviously, someone had been cleaning it every day.

She still felt heavy-hearted.

After putting away her things, she took some precautions to prevent Jesse from locking her up again when he came back.

Jesse was in a meeting at work when he saw a call from home. He ignored it, but his hand trembled slightly when he hung up the phone.

It was rare for anyone to call him from home unless it was something important. He couldn’t help but hope that Nydia had returned.

After the meeting, he went back to his office and called home.

“Mr. Pascall, Missus is back.” Julia answered the phone and told him right away.

Jesse’s hand holding the phone tightened instantly and his heart beat very fast.

After three seconds, he finally spoke. “Got it.”

Then he hung up the phone.

Although he didn’t rush home right away, he was obviously distracted when dealing with things later.

Vergil, who was next to him, felt strange. He wasn’t there when Jesse made the call.

“Boss, have you finished reading it?” Vergil reminded Jesse because he had been looking at the document for five minutes and hadn’t signed it yet. It was only two pages long, and according to Jesse’s usual speed, he didn’t need more than a minute to read it.

Jesse looked up at him and Vergil felt a chill in his heart. He immediately lowered his head and pretended he hadn’t said anything.

The document was soon handed over to Vergil, who quickly left the CEO’s office.

He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would be crushed by the low pressure. It was too scary.

He couldn’t figure out what was going on. Everything was fine before, so why did things get so weird after the meeting?

As dinnertime approached, Vergil hesitated for a while before asking, “Sir, what would you like for dinner?”

“I’m not eating.”

“Sir, you still need to eat something. You’ve lost a lot of weight and your health will suffer if this continues.”

“Get out.”

Vergil sighed and walked out, feeling that if things continued like this, the president’s health would eventually have a problem.

Meanwhile, at the Pascall’s villa, the two children came home from school. As soon as they entered the house, Molly’s nose went to work.

“Wow, it smells so good! This dish is fragrant. How come it feels like Mommy is cooking?” Molly kept sniffing and following the scent.

Tavish’s expression changed when he heard her words. He pulled her and ran to the small kitchen, pushing open the door to see a slender and gentle figure chopping vegetables.

“Mommy!” Molly cried out, startling Nydia who was cutting the vegetables. “Oops!”

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Tavish immediately went over and saw that Nydia’s finger was bleeding. “Mommy, your finger, I’ll get a band-aid.”

Molly felt embarrassed. “Sorry, Mommy, I scared you. Let me blow on it for you.”

She stood on tiptoe and blew on Nydia’s finger with pursed lips.

“It’s okay, Mommy doesn’t feel any pain.”

“Mommy, you’re finally back! I missed you so much!” Molly hugged Nydia’s thigh. “I thought you were coming back tomorrow, but you came back a day early. You’re amazing, Mommy!”

At this point, Tavish came back with a waterproof band-aid and carefully put it on Nydia’s finger.

“Mommy, how about we don’t cook tonight?”

“It’s okay, it’s just a small wound, and we have waterproof band-aids. The kitchen is smoky, so you guys go outside and wait.”

“No, I want to stay here with Mommy!” Molly was so happy that her mother had finally returned and didn’t want to leave.

Tavish didn’t want to leave either. He felt like his mother might disappear in the blink of an eye, as if he were dreaming.

Nydia couldn’t do anything about them, so she let them stay on the side.

Molly and Tavish’s eyes followed Nydia’s every move, not daring to look away. After watching for a long time, they finally confirmed that their mother had indeed come back and wouldn’t suddenly disappear.

“It smells so good!” Molly was already drooling.

Suddenly, Tavish remembered something and ran out.

He went to call Jesse.

“Daddy, it’s me,” Tavish said.

“Well, what is it?” Jesse’s voice was as cold as ever, but Tavish didn’t mind. He said happily, “Daddy, come home for dinner tonight. Molly did a great job today and made a dish for you.”

Jesse was stunned. “What? Molly cooked for me?”

“Yes, so why don’t you come home and try it?” Tavish was a bit nervous, afraid that Jesse would refuse.

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Tavish breathed a sigh of relief and ran back to the kitchen.

“Mommy, can you teach Molly how to make a simple dish?”

“Teach Molly?” Nydia looked surprised.

“Brother, why do you want to teach me to cook? I just want to eat.”

Tavish took Molly’s hand, led her out of the kitchen, and whispered something to her. At first, Molly was surprised, but then nodded vigorously. “I understand. I promise to complete the task, brother, don’t worry!”

Then she walked into the kitchen with her head held high.

“Mommy, I want to cook!”

Nydia didn’t know what the siblings were up to, but thought that it wasn’t a bad thing for children to participate in cooking.

“Then I will teach you how to make a cold dish?”

“Okay, okay!”

Nydia taught Molly how to make a cold enoki mushroom salad. After slicing the enoki mushrooms and boiling them in water, Molly tore them into small strips with her hands and added the seasoning Nydia told her to use.

“Use less chili. Daddy hasn’t been eating well lately and his stomach must hurt.” Molly muttered to herself, adding just bit of chili.

Nydia sprinkled some powder into the dish.

“What did you sprinkle in, Mommy?”

“Stomach-protecting powder.”

With Nydia’s help, Molly mixed the seasoning and poured it over the mushrooms. She was about to add scallions and cilantro.

“Don’t add scallions. Your daddy doesn’t eat them.”

“Didn’t daddy start to eat scallions? I saw him eating them when we had dinner together before.” Molly was confused.

This surprised Nydia.

The cold enoki mushroom salad was done.

After all the dishes were done, Molly carried the enoki mushroom salad she made and went out. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Jesse, who had already come home. She immediately shouted happily, “Daddy, I made a dish. Try it and see if it tastes good.”

Jesse, however, looked past Molly and at Nydia, who was wearing an apron, and their eyes met.
