Chapter 829 A Man Learning to Cook

When Jude gawked at Charles, her stare gave rise to a bad feeling within him about what was to come. "Why would you have the chef prepare my meal?"

Upon hearing that, Charles let out a chuckle. "Who else would possibly be in charge if not the chef? Or would you like some takeaway? We can do that too." There was a loving look in his eyes. "How dare you even suggest takeaways? They're unhealthy and unsanitary. What are you even thinking?"

Charles didn't know what to say to that. What does she want, then? "Jude, can't you just tell me what you want me to do?"

"What's with your attitude?" Jude was appraising him in a condescending manner with her arms crossed.

Charles remained patient with her. "I wasn't trying to imply anything. All I hope for is that you would express your needs directly so that I can start making arrangements." Recently, he had learned to be careful when he spoke. As someone who was more than ten years older than Jude, being lectured by her was such a shame. "I'm telling you to cook for me."

"I don't know how to cook." Charles wore a look of resignation upon recalling that he never even needed to cook in the kitchen. "Jude, you know I rarely even step into the kitchen."

Hearing that only irked her more. "What about me? I was taught nothing about pregnancy and labor, but I did both for you nonetheless! Nobody knows everything from birth! You can learn to cook if you don't know how!"

Charles kept his silence, which Jude took as a refusal. "Are you not willing to learn? Am I not worth the effort? Charles, I'm pregnant with your baby, your flesh and blood. What are your contributions while I suffer because of this pregnancy? Are you really so unwilling to cook for me?"

"Alright, fine. I'll learn to cook for you." Charles nodded rapidly. Jude's line of questioning was extremely effective no matter the circumstances. "What's with that attitude? Forget about it if you don't feel like learning!" "I never said I don't!" "Why did you raise your voice?"

Meanwhile, Hades, who was upstairs, shook his head when he heard the couple quarreling again. It had been happening almost every single day. Ever since young, he had never seen Charles either dote on or be so patient with anybody.

It took Charles a while before he was able to appease Jude. After making sure that she had something to eat, he sent her off to get a nap. After she fell asleep, Charles heaved a sigh before heading into the kitchen. Since Jude requested that he learn cooking, he dared not dally. When Hades got to the kitchen, he found it hilarious to see Charles actually putting in serious effort to learn cooking.

"What's so funny? You'll know what it feels like when you get married!" Charles snapped. As of late, he had been on the receiving end of Jude's tantrums, so he could only vent out his frustrations on Hades. "Charles, I swear that the way you look now makes me not want to marry anybody." Hades didn't want to be such a wimp.

To be honest, cooking wasn't a skill that one could pick up that easily. Even after reading through cookbooks, he had a hard time grasping what was written in it. Therefore, he gave Pierre a video call. Pierre was in the bedroom when he got the call, during which he noticed that Charles seemed to be wearing a livid expression. "What is it? Did your wife scold you again?" He found Charles' expression hilarious.

"Shut your mouth. If memory serves, you're pretty good at cooking, right?"

It wasn't when Pierre took a closer look at where Charles was that he noticed the latter was in the kitchen while wearing an apron. "Hahaha, don't tell me Jude ordered you to cook?"

"Enough with your mockery! Teach me how to cook! This book is a mess!" If it wasn't for Jude, Charles would have never allowed Pierre to witness his predicament. After all, he had a reputation to uphold. "Say does Jude have a screw loose in her head? Why else would she want you to learn to cook?"

As soon as Pierre said so, Selena questioned, "What's wrong with learning to cook?"
