“I don’t have any ingredients at home.”

He immediately turned to his assistant and instructed, “Go to a nearby supermarket and buy a full setof egg tart ingredients and tools. And a new oven too. Be quicl

“Yes, Hayden.”

Debbie was at a loss for words. Hayden was becoming bolder and more annoying now. He had alwaysdone something that made her hard to turn him down. Now he was not only buying all the ingredientsfor egg tarts but a brand new oven as well. Never let it be said that he wasn’t one for grand gestures.

Eventually, she opened the gate of the villa and allowed him in. Julie and the other housemaids werestill on a vacation of the new year and hadn’t come back yet.

Debbie impatiently Led Hayden into the Living room. In an angry voice, she warned, “Just sit there andwait. Don’t speak to me. Or else I’IL spread your nose across your face!” She raised her fist in front ofhim as she said it.

Hayden laughed and nodded. Inside, he felt remorseful again. ‘She’s so cute when she’s like this! Whatan idiot I was! I’ve lost her…’

Leaving Hayden alone in the living room, Debbie lugged the bags upstairs to her bedroom first. He hadwanted to help her carry the luggage upstairs, but she rejected his help.

She had been kind enough to allow him to enter the villa. That was enough for her. By rights, sheshould have sent him home. But there was always a small part of her that wanted to care for thesmallest parts of his soul. He was like a Lost child now, and seemed as pitiful as anything else.However, Letting him help her with the bags would mean letting him into her bedroom. That would betoo ridiculous.

Shortly, his assistant had bought all the needed items for making egg tarts. Looking at the cleankitchen, Debbie felt at a loss. ‘What should I do first?”

It occurred to her that this situation was similar to what her husband had done a few days ago. Thatnight, Carlos cooked noodles for Megan, and now, she was going to make desserts for Hayden. Shesmiled bitterly. ‘It’s so ironic.

If anyone saw this, they might think I’m deliberately doing this to get revenge on Carlos.”

Taking a deep breath, she shook off all these thoughts and began to wash the tools. Then, she clumsilyplaced the crust on the tart tins and filled them with the egg custard.

It proved again that Debbie wouldn’t be a good housewife. Now, she had poured too much egg custardinto some of the tart tins and it spilled out. And then again, her elbow accidentally swept some of thetart tins off the table onto the floor. The kitchen was already a mess even before she put the unbakedegg tarts into the oven.

Unknowingly, Hayden had already come into the kitchen. He asked with worry, “Need my help?”

In a tearing hurry, Debbie nodded and said, “Yeah. Help me preheat the oven first.”

Hayden then opened the box and took out the new oven. Quickly glancing over the instruction book, heswitched it on and pressed the preheat button.

Finally, Debbie finished the first step and put all the unbaked egg tarts on a tray. Steadying the tray inher hands, she carefully moved it to the oven. When she drew back her hands, her bare left handaccidentally touched the hot oven grilling pan. With no oven mitt, she was definitely asking to beburned.

“Ouch!” she groaned and stepped back.

Unexpectedly, Hayden was standing right behind her and she fell into his arms…

On the other hand, Carlos had hurried back to his office after getting off his private plane. He had justsat down in his seat when Tristan called him and reported to him that Debbie was in Hayden’s car.

After hanging up, he immediately called Emmett in, his face darkened.

“Besides bidding for the contract of the Century Group, what else has the Gomez Group been workingon recently?”

Emmett quickly checked the documents in his hands and replied, “They held a new product releaseevent. A few international A-list stars attended it and endorsed the products for them.”

Carlos looked out of the window, overlooking the whole Alorith, and instructed calmly, “Now, go andprepare a spring fashion show from
