Chapter 12 - 12

As soon as they reach the mansion, Odette when straight to the kitchen and goes to cook something for Eric. Eric looking forward to tasting what Odette will cook for him. She was a person who did not need others to serve her. She would usually cook by herself.

Their fate was similar to each other. Before Odette's parents got into a car accident, she was a lovely girl. Now, even her home was taken from her by someone close to her. And she was bullied by others. It was that her father had just returned from a business trip when he had an accident. That place was not a place where accidents happen. Eric thought about it and felt that it was necessary to let Billy investigate this matter.

Not long after, a sweet smell drifted out from the kitchen. The food in the kitchen was almost done. But the fragrance is superb. "Do you like cooking?" Eric asked Odette. Odette turned around and looked at Eric that already appeared at the kitchen door and was smiling at her.

"I used to live alone. Other than going to the hospital to take care of my mother. I have nothing else to do. That's why I learned to cook some delicious food. I slowly learned to cook. The first time I cooked was not good it tasted terrible." Odette said as she put soup in a small bowl. She tasted it and revealed a smile.

"Madam, this food has a fragrant. Your skills cannot compare with our family chief." The head maid was attracted by the smell. The maid helped her to clean up the kitchen after she cooked. Most importantly, the maid had not seen their young master smile even after they had worked so many years. Even since their Young master married their young madam, their young master had been smiling every day. She was the person that their young master liked. Of course, all the maids of the house like her. "Mrs. Cook, are you joking? I just love cooking and making my recipes. I am far from those chefs."

Odette turned around. She was holding the soup and she had just served. Then she walked in front of Eric and, "Do you want to have some soup? I hope you like it." She shook a spoonful of soup and put the spoon in Eric's mouth.

Mrs. Cooks was shocked when she saw it. She reminded me that Eric loves cleanliness. Before Mrs. Cook could say anything, Eric drank it. Odette looked at Mrs. Cooks and asked what she wanted to say. " Young master loves cleanliness, madam" Odette heard Mrs. Cooks, her expression became very awkward. "Why didn't you tell me you like cleanliness? I just used this spoon."

Eric smiled and said, "You are my wife, am I going to dislike you?" Before Odette could reply to his words, Eric hugged her on his lap, Odette was shocked but she didn't struggle. "Your leg will not feel well," Odette said. "It's okay." Odette slowly touched Eric's legs and said, "Do you not feel anything? Will you feel sad when you can't stand up?" Eric saw Odette's worried and couldn't control himself. He directly pressed Odette's lips.

Odette was surprised. She froze on the spot and did not dare to move. Eric saw her panic and he just laughed loudly. "Alright, let's eat. I'm hungry." Odette's face was very red. She pours Eric, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Even so, Odette carefully came down. She did not hurt Eric. Odette covered her heart. Her heart was beating very fast. "Wife, I want to drink the soup," Eric said.

His words made Odette's face more red. Odette directly covered her face and said, "If you want to drink soup then let Mrs. Cooks serve it to you." After she finished speaking, she ran out of the kitchen. Odette returned to the room to rest. However, her mind was filled with the scene just now. She simply couldn't calm her heart. After a long while, Odette heard nothing downstairs. She quietly opened the door and she looked down to the hall from the stairway of the second floor.

"Madam, Young master has gone to work. He said he would let you have a good rest. He'll bring you out for dinner tonight, that's what he said before going out." Mrs. Cooks has a smile on her face. Eric was originally a very cold guy. Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire mansion was very cold and oppressive. However, after Odette came the whole mansion was changed it became very warm.

"Did he say what time he will come back?" Odette asked Mrs. Cooks. "Young master didn't say that. But don't worry, the young master will return home after he is done with his work. His daily life is very regular." Mrs. Cooks said. "I understand," Odette said but she did not return to her room to rest. She went to the kitchen and clean up with Mrs. Cooks. "Madam, why are you cleaning?" Mrs. Cooks quickly snatched the plate from Odette's hand, If their young master knew that the young madam cleaned the table he would blame her.

"Mrs. Cooks, you don't have to be so polite. No matter what, I am a member of this family. Since we are a family there is no need for you to be so polite. Besides, I used to clean the house myself." This was the life she wanted. She hoped that the family could live in harmony. Previously her luck had not been good to have. But now she had an opportunity to have such a life. Mrs. Cooks looked at Odette, she was different from those rich girls. She wasn't arrogant at all. Instead, she treated the maids as a family.

Previously, Mrs. Cooks was worried that the Second young master would marry a bad woman, now it seemed that the second young master marrying Odette was a good thing. At least a second young master's life would not be too depressing in the future.
