My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 135 Horrible Meal

Lyra was starving so badly that she could not take it any longer.

The smell of food made her even hungrier.

When Julien noted how uncomfortable Lyra seemed, he agreed in the end. "Let's go."

"Okay." Lyra smiled as she nodded.

After taking a few steps, she stopped and turned around to look at Jayden. "Jayden, do you want to come along?”

"No way," Jayden replied in a cold tone.

Lyra’s expression darkened and she lowered her head.

Julien pursed his lips. "If you’re not coming to help, then there's no dinner for you tonight."

After saying that, he pulled Lyra into the kitchen.

Jayden felt so upset that he tugged on his hair. He wanted to say "So be it.’’, but his stomach was growling and he could not bring himself to say that.

In the end, Jayden followed them into the kitchen in desperation.

The kitchen was huge, so all of them were inside without feeling cramped.

When Julien, Jayden, and Lyra walked into the kitchen, Sydney was handling the pan like an actual chef.

The dish in the pan went up in the air as Sydney flipped it, and they fell back onto the pan neatly within a second.

Luke, Hunter, and Sharon who were standing at the side were all shocked.

"This is amazing,” Sharon exclaimed.

Hunter nodded as well. "Master chef!"

"Darling..." Luke frowned, feeling both happy and sad at the same time.

He was happy that he could get a taste of her cooking.

He was also sad that Sydney went through so much in the Flint family. Before she married Julien, she did not have to even enter the kitchen.

As he thought about that, he turned around and glared at Julien.

Julien, Jayden, and Lyra all saw how Sydney flipped the pan. When they noted Luke's glare, they returned to their senses and quickly looked away.

They were all attracted by Sydney's wonderful display of skills.

"Let’s go over there." Julien cleared his throat awkwardly and pointed at the stove on the other side.

Lyra held his arm and walked over with him.

Jayden looked at Sydney, then at his brother. He then followed them in a dejected manner.

When they reached the stove, they stared at the pots and pans in front of them, visibly at a loss.

Since they had never tried cooking, they could not even recognize the equipment needed and naturally would not know where to start.

"Julien, how do we do this?" Lyra held the spatula and stared at it with difficulty.

Julien was silent for a few moments. “Let's clean the vegetables first. What do you want to eat?"

"Where are the vegetables?" Lyra asked with a blank look.

Jayden laughed. "I don't know how to cook, but I know that the vegetables will be in the refrigerator."

After he said that, he turned around and walked to the refrigerator.

Lyra bit her lip and her eyes turned red, brimming with tears.

"Julien, am I useless? I don't even know where the vegetables are."

"You're not. It's normal since you don’t know how to cook."

When Luke heard that, he rolled his eyes.

"How the heck is that normal? This is common sense.

President Flint, your fiance doesn't even have common sense. Can she be more useless than this? And you can even bring yourself to lie to her that this is normal. The worst thing is - she believed you! My gosh, she couldn't even tell that you were just comforting her.”

Sharon and Hunter laughed out loud.

Even the corners of Sydney’s mouth were raised.

Julien’s face was gloomy when he glared at Luke, and his eyes were cold.

Lyra looked like she was about to cry. "Luke, you're going too far!"

He said that she was useless and stupid.

"How am I going too far? I was only stating the facts. You just can't accept it.” Luke spread his hands and smiled nonchalantly.

Lyra's chest rose and fell violently.

Luke wanted to ridicule her more, but Sydney stopped him.

"Enough, Luke. Stop talking. She might get sick or something and we’ll be in trouble."

"Fine. Since my darling said so, then I shall shut my mouth," Luke said with a smile

Lyra twisted her hands together and looked toward Julien. "Julien, do you think I’m stupid? I don’t even have common sense."

"No," Julien answered.

"Really?" Lyra did not believe him.

Julien felt rather exhausted, but he still nodded patiently. "Really."

Lyra could tell that he was serious about it and her mood brightened.

At that moment, Jayden returned with a whole load of vegetables.

"Bro, let’s use all of them." He looked at Julien with excitement.

Julien frowned when he saw the amount of vegetables he brought back. "Do you know how to cook them? Why did you take so much?”

Jayden's expression froze, and it was obvious that he did not think that through.

"What should we do, then?" He scratched his head.

Julien was speechless.

Lyra did not know what to say, either. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

On the other side, Sydney instructed Luke, Hunter, and Sharon to bring the plates and seasonings, and they were happily engaged with their chores.

On the contrary, Julien, Jayden, and Lyra were just staring at the ingredients.

There was a stark contrast between the two groups.

After a while, Julien sighed, took out his phone, and started searching for cooking videos. He then started moving.

However, the end product was not exactly appetizing.

"Bro, this black thing here is a tomato?" Jayden pointed at the dish in front of him and had no idea what it was.

Julien pursed his lips and nodded stiffly.

Jayden pointed at another dish and asked, "These are potatoes?"

Julien narrowed his eyes and threw him a glare.

Jayden shrank and did not dare to ask any further questions.

When Lyra noticed that the atmosphere had turned rather awkward, she smiled and said, "Jayden, although the dishes aren't that appetizing, I think they taste fine. Julien made them himself after all. Let’s try it."

She passed a pair of chopsticks to Jayden.

Jayden ignored her and picked up another pair. He took the tomatoes first.

Lyra's hand was left hanging in mid-air.

Julien squeezed her hand and said, "Don’t worry. Let's eat." "Okay." Lyra forced a smile, yet in her heart, the hatred for Jayden grew further.

Just wait. When she married Julien, she would chase Jayden out of the Flint Mansion for sure.

"UGH!” Just when Lyra and Julien were about to start eating, Jayden suddenly retched with a twisted expression and spat out all the food in his mouth.

"What is this? It’s horrible. One bite was salty, and the other bite sweet. Bro, your cooking skills are really..." Jayden gulped down some water and gestured a thumb down toward Julien.

Julien frowned. "Is it horrible?”

"Very, very horrible,” Jayden exclaimed.

Julien looked down at the dishes he made, hesitated, and took one bite. The moment it entered his mouth, his frown became even deeper while he swallowed the food.

"Bro, how is it? Is it horrible?" Jayden inched closer to him and asked with a smug expression.

Julien said nothing and was gulping down his water without an expression.

When Lyra saw what happened, she withdrew her chopsticks from the dish.

She better not touch it.

Lyra's actions were caught by the few of them on the other side. Sydney and the rest were all enjoying their meal.

Sydney did not bother. She quietly enjoyed her wonderful meal.

Hunter and Sharon also decided not to cause trouble. After all, there were such delicacies in front of them so they could not be bothered about anything else.

Sydney's cooking was indeed amazing, and the fish was especially delicious.

An idea rose in Luke's mind.

He put down his chopsticks and turned toward the other table. "Ms. Madden. President Flint personally made dinner for you. Why are you not eating?”
