Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Sean ran so fast that Eli couldn’t catch up to him. She stopped to catch her breath on the bridge. Not long after that, she noticed that Sean was walking toward her and holding an ice cream in his hand.

He asked her with a teasing tone, “Is the Willow branch for me?”

She was so angry that she felt like beating him up to a pulp. She thought that Sean had destroyed her ice cream on purpose and was showing off in front of her to make her jealous.

“You have to give me back an ice cream,” she said to Sean angrily.

Sean gave the ice cream to her after she said that.

Eli was shocked that Sean had suddenly treated her so well. Could he have put poison into the ice cream?

After that, she picked up the Willow branch and started beating Sean with it. She only managed to hit him once, because Sean caught the Willow branch in his hand the second time.

He asked, “Hey, why are you so fierce? Aren’t you afraid that no one is going to marry you in the future?”

“That’s none of your business,” she answered as she tried to get the Willow branch back from him.

He held it tightly and asked her, “Isn’t this for me?”

She remembered that she had already beaten him once with the Willow branch, so she felt much better now. Besides, she had no intention of keeping it anyway. So, she let go of it, rolled her eyes at Sean, and walked away.

She didn’t quite remember what happened after that, but she had a strong impression of this incident.

“Do you remember now?” Sean asked her.

“I didn’t know that the Willow branch was your confession, and nobody has ever told me about that. By the way, where is the Willow branch now?” She asked curiously.

Sean chuckled, “It’s in my room at the President’s Mansion. I hung it on the wall. Didn’t you notice it?”

Eli was stunned for a second, and her heart was beating fast.

Was Sean really in love with her?

“I didn’t see it,” she shook her head and said in disbelief.

Sean touched her nose and told her, “You need to fix your eyes, honestly! I will show you after lunch.”

“Aren’t we having lunch at your house?”

Sean knocked on her head lightly and said, “My house? It’s also your house, alright? We are not having lunch at home today. We are going to another place. You like to eat fish, right?”

“Not really, who told you that?” Eli was confused. She didn’t actually have any favorite food, she liked everything that tasted good.

“Didn’t you always go fishing with your friends?” Sean remembered that clearly because he knew all her whereabouts at the tip of his finger.

“So, are you taking me to eat fish?”

“Yes, there’s a restaurant I know that serves good fish.”

“If you’re talking about fish, then Stella’s would be the best, her cooking has always been top-tier,” she praised.

Sean stared at her and asked, “Are you really not going to forgive Stella? She was your best friend.”

Eli paused for a moment. Her gaze darkened and she shook her head.

It was because they were once best friends, that was why it hurt so much more, to the point where they couldn’t be friends anymore.

Sean held her hand and both of them walked out of the room. Yvonne saw them coming out, so she stood up and smiled at them.

“You may go back first. We are going out for lunch,” Sean said to Yvonne.

“Alright, is everything ready?” Yvonne asked worriedly.

“Yes, it is ready. I might have to trouble you for the next few days. Give me a call if you need anything,” Sean said to Yvonne politely. There constantly seemed to be an immovable barrier between them.

“Just doing what I should,” Yvonne smiled and answered. After that, she watched as both Sean and Eli left the office.

They were bundled up so that nobody could recognize them, and Sean only brought Colonel Cher along with him. They went to a restaurant at the State Mayor center. They went straight up to a private room on the third floor as soon as they arrived.

“Do you think that it’s really safe for us to come out to a public place in bright daylight?” Eli was worried. She took a look around her surroundings to make sure that no one was looking at them. However, there were only the three of them in the entire corridor.

“Don’t worry,” Sean comforted her, then brought her into the private room and both of them sat down. He explained to her, “The third floor is only accessible to the staff. Nobody else can be here, so stop worrying.”

“It seems so troublesome, and it leaves everyone on high alert. Don’t you think so, Colonel Cher?” Eli looked at him and asked.

Colonel Cher smiled and lowered his gaze.

He felt as though his life would be shortened from pure stress and anxiety if the President were to continue putting up such an effort to have meals in such public places.

“See? Please don’t do this again in the future,” Eli suggested.

“I would have to bring you to the restaurant that I had bought for you eventually, right?” Sean said.

Eli was shocked, then she pointed at her nose and said, “Did you say that you bought this restaurant for me?”

It was not as though she could take the restaurant with her when she left, so she felt bad.

“Who else if not you?” Sean smirked.

The staff had already prepared their lunch beforehand. Hence, they served it not long after they arrived.

Eli took a look at the plethora of dishes that were served on the table. There were several dishes made out of fish, and they were all plated beautifully. When compared to all these, Stella’s cooking didn’t look that nice anymore.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Eli took a bite of the fish and chips and asked, “This tastes amazing. How did you make this?”.

Sean turned to the staff beside him.

The staff explained respectfully, “The fish was dipped in a batter that was specially made by the chef. The batter is made with water, milk, and eggs, and it turns crispy when fried. The fish is then deep-fried for a few minutes. For the chips, it was made from sliced potatoes.”

Eli was speechless.

She was just asking casually, hence, she didn’t expect the staff to answer so formally.

It was not as if she could do it even if she knew the recipe.

She smiled and continued to eat her food.

“Explain the other dishes to her as well,” Sean ordered.

“Stop it,” Eli said.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m not asking you to learn to make them. I bet that I will learn it faster than you anyway,” Sean said to her affectionately, then he gave a signal to the staff.

The staff nodded and continued to introduce the other dishes, “This meatball was made with ground beef and pork for the perfect blend of flavors. We also added a little bit of extra fat such as olive oil and raw chopped bacon.”

There’s also Parmesan Cheese and Italian breadcrumbs for extra seasoning and flavor in the meatballs. After that, we put it into the oven and baked it at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.”

“What about the cottage pie?” Eli asked.

The staff smiled and answered, “For this cottage pie, we use…”

“Alright, I actually don’t need to know how to make these. Thank you for your effort. I will start eating now,” she interrupted the staff and said. After that, she took a bite of the cottage pie. It tasted absolutely amazing.

“How is it?” Sean asked.

Eli gave him a thumbs-up.

Sean smiled and said to her, “Didn’t you say that I am stingy? From today onwards, all the profit made by this restaurant will be transferred into your bank account.”

Eli paused and looked at him in confusion. However, she immediately lowered her gaze because she was afraid that Sean would see through her.
