Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 559

Chapter 559

Sophia returned to the house. Alexander had begun cooking the garlic butter prawns, and the kitchenwas filled with a tantalizing aroma. Drawn in by the alluring scent, Sophia found herself walking towardthe kitchen doorway. She gazed at Alexander's figure from behind, thinking about the strange things inthis world.

There was nothing Sophia could not do, except cooking.

On the other hand, Alexander could pick up any new skills easily.

I guess love is about complementing each other.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Alexander turned around. “Did you get rid of her?”

Sophia nodded and walked over to him. “It smells good.”

Alexander's eyes flicked toward the prawns. “It's my first time trying this recipe, so it might turn out alittle saltier.”

“That's fine.”

While observing the garlic butter prawns that Alexander had skillfully arranged on a plate, Sophia couldnot help but feel a subtle longing to try out the food.

Unlike Katherine, who had a deep passion for food, Sophia's interests in food were generally moderate.However, ever since she had been with Alexander, even a simple meal prepared by him had the powerto ignite a sense of anticipation within her, making her eagerly look forward to the next dining

experience.

It was strange, but perhaps the feeling was enhanced by the fact that she did not need to prepare herown meal.

Alexander had placed the prawns into smaller plates and placed them on the table. “Do you want to trythem?”

Sophia blinked. “I'm going to take a photo of this for Katherine. She said she wanted to eat these butshe can't.”

Alexander's gaze softened. “You're making life tough for Mr. Lewis.”

Katherine would end up pestering Joshua to make her the dish.

However, it was only the second day after Katherine had given birth. Garlic butter prawns were notsomething that could be in her diet yet.

Sophia raised a brow. “Well, that isn't my intention.”

Alexander knew that Sophia was not as dignified as she usually presented herself as. She had a cuterside known to few people.

That adorable side of her was what made her fall for her again and again.

When Sophia lifted her head to look at Alexander, their eyes met, and she froze.

The gaze he directed at her mirrored the intensity and desire he had displayed during their intimatemoments the previous night.

Sophia blushed and cleared her throat. “Let me take a picture.”

She picked up her phone and took a few shots of the dish from several angles before sending them toKatherine.

While enjoying her lunch, Katherine noticed multiple photos incoming from Sophia. Assuming it was theusual exchange of the latest gossip, she tapped into the messages with curiosity. To her surprise, theimages revealed the very garlic butter prawns she had been longing for over the past two weeks.

Katherine glanced at the photos sent by Sophia and then shifted her gaze to her own meal. Suddenly,her appetite vanished, and she found herself unable to continue eating.

She licked her lips and replied: Which restaurant is this? The garlic butter prawns look delicious!

As Katherine entered the late stages of pregnancy, both her growing fetus and her own body hadundergone rapid growth. The nutritionist, considering the well-being of both mother and child, hadexpressed concern regarding Katherine's ability to give birth and the potential challenges of excessiveweight gain, which could impede postpartum recovery. They had closely supervised and regulatedKatherine's diet during that crucial phase of her pregnancy.

Regrettably, as Katherine entered the mid-term of her pregnancy, her appetite had surged andintensified further during the late stages. She had developed strong cravings for bold and flavorfulfoods. However, she had exercised restraint, indulging in her cravings only occasionally while adhering

to a well-structured and nutritious meal plan for the majority of the time. The longing for those cravingshad persisted for months, and she had been dying for the freedom to eat anything she wanted.

Initially, she had anticipated indulging in delicious meals after giving birth. However, both the nurse andnutritionist had advised her to prioritize postpartum recovery and cautioned against consuming foodssuch as garlic butter prawns. They emphasized the significance of nourishing the body during the lying-in period.

Katherine was stuck in the hospital, and Joshua would confiscate her phone at certain times, so shecould not secretly order a takeout even if she wanted to.

Just the afternoon the day before, she had dreamed that she had a wondrous and scrumptious seafoodmeal. When she woke up, she found herself drooling and she could not stop herself from sending amessage to Sophia, asking her to save her from the food cravings.

Katherine would not say that she was greedy. All she wanted was for Sophia to bring a prawn or two forher to try out the flavor.

Alas, Sophia was ruthless. Not only did she not bring her the food, but she even had garlic butterprawns to tempt her good friend.

She's no good friend of mine! Hmph!

Sophia: Alexander made them.

Katherine's appetite instantly vanished. She placed her fork down and shot Joshua a glare. “I'm doneeating!”

Joshua was confused. “What's the matter? Is it bad?” He took a bite of the food and discovered that ittasted quite good. “It's not bad, Kath.”

Katherine snorted and thrust her phone into his hands. “Take a look at this! Soph wanted to eat garlicbutter prawns, and Alexander whipped them up in an instant. I want to eat them too, and I didn't evenbother asking you to make them, yet you won't even get them for me. You really don't love meanymore. I knew it! Men are heartless creatures. I've just had a baby, and you don't seem to care aboutme anymore. I won't eat another bite. I'll just starve to death!”

It had been half a year since Katherine had acted, but her acting skills were still on point. After utteringher lines, she lay back down on the bed and pulled the blanket to cover her head.

Even though Joshua knew that she was only pretending to be mad, he was still afraid that she wouldcry for real. “Don't be sad. I'll make it for you too after this lying-in period.”

Joshua was known as the devil in the office, but at that moment, he was gently coaxing his wife. If theemployees of Technology Innovations were to witness that side of him, they would be so stunned thattheir jaws would drop.

Katherine remained still. Joshua pursed his lips and called out, “Kath?”

Katherine continued to sulk until Lewinn abruptly started crying. She popped her head out of theblanket, reached out for the boy, and asked, “Is he hungry?”

Katherine was about to feed Lewinn, but when she looked at Joshua, she snapped, “I'm about to feedour son. Why are you still standing there?”

Joshua could only stare at Katherine for a while longer before turning to leave.

Even though Katherine seemed unbothered by many things, she could be very shy sometimes.

Lewinn's crying distracted Katherine from the garlic butter prawns incident. As Katherine had justbegun producing breast milk that morning, she did not have much milk for the baby. Lewinn seemedunsatisfied with the quantity of milk he was receiving, and that made Katherine feel distressed. Thenutritionist seized the opportunity to enlighten Katherine about how her diet could impact the baby. Inthe end, Katherine pursed her lips and let out a sigh. “Fine, I'll skip the garlic butter prawns, then.”

I'm so sad. It's tough to be a mother!

The events unfolding in Katherine's household remained unknown to Sophia. Alexander had finishedcooking. Although he had never attempted two of the dishes before, his culinary skills provedexceptional. The final creations tasted just as delectable as dishes found in restaurants, particularly thegarlic butter prawns.

Perhaps it had been a long time since Sophia had garlic butter prawns. She found the prawnsdelicious. In fact, she wished that the prawns were of a bigger portion.

Regrettably, Katherine can't try out the dish. If given the chance, I, as an old friend, would have gladlybrought a small portion of the exquisite dish to her. Alas, there's nothing I can do about this. Katherine'son a strict diet.
