Chapter 83: Off to Work!

While cooking pasta, Chloe instinctively grabbed a box of shrimp nearby.

But as she twisted the lid open, she froze.

Michael spent years working away from home. He started at Shawn Heavy Industries, then moved on to Paramount Airlines.

When he got busy, he often skipped lunch. He might not have been the best husband, but he was a great leader.

That’s when his stomach problems began.

When his stomach pain got really bad, he had to go to the hospital for an IV.

Chloe was with him when the doctor advised cutting down on oily and spicy foods, suggesting a lighter diet.

She logged all his food allergies in her phone’s notes. After three years, she knew them by heart.

She remembered Michael’s food preferences, but he didn’t remember hers.

Since childhood, she’s had a passion for spicy food, the hotter and more numbing, the better.

Ever since she got together with him, she changed her own. habits just to match his tastes.

Looking back, she realized it had been ages since she last had. spicy food.

She dropped the shrimp. Then, she scooped two generous spoonfuls of chili into the plate, added a full spoonful of Sichuan peppercorns, and poured in more vinegar than usual.

As she placed two plates of pasta on the table, Michael instinctively took a seat beside her.

He frowned at the sight of the thick layer of chili oil floating in the dish.

“Why is this so spicy?”

Chloe was happily munching away, sneaking a quick glance at him.

“I’ve already made it for you, so stop complaining. If you don’t want it, cook for yourself.”

Michael picked up his fork and gave the pasta a stir.

Chloe watched from the side, raising an eyebrow. With the amount of chili she had added, there was no way he could

handle it.

To her surprise, Michael only hesitated for a split second before digging in.

He’s got some serious backbone.

Michael took one bite and couldn’t handle it. He quickly asked the servant for a glass of water.

He gulped down most of his water, then noticed Chloe wast happily munching away, not even breaking a sweat.

She loved spicy food. Until now, he had no clue.

Sometimes he would come back, but her cooking was always light and simple.

None of her dishes had any chili.

He thought she was like him, couldn’t handle spicy food.

Michael remembered every time the servants asked her what she wanted to eat, she always chose his favorite dishes. It left him feeling a bit conflicted.

She:

She indulged him more than he ever imagined.

After finishing her pasta, Chloe dropped the plate off in the kitchen.

As she headed upstairs, her phone buzzed. It was Quinn.

“Hey Chloe, I’ve got a project I can’t take on. Can you handle it?”

The order came in so fast that Chloe was caught off guard.

“The commission for this project is pretty good. If you’re interested, meet the client. I’ve set up a meeting at 5 PM today at the Grand Hotel.”

Chloe glanced at the clock. It was almost 4 PM.

It’s a 40–minute drive from Lotus Manor to the Grand Hotel.

“Alright, I’ll go check it out.”

Chloe hung up and headed out the door.

Chloe was about to head upstairs but turned back to the entrance to change her shoes. Michael saw her and asked, “Where are you going?”

Chloe rolled her eyes. “I’m off to work!”
