100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Three...

~~*****~~

The next morning...

There was a ruckus happening in the kitchen. Cherry and her assistants were just standing at the back as they watched a certain someone slicing the ingredients.

They were supposed to be the ones cooking breakfast today. But for some unknown reason, an invader came crashing into their kitchen and started cooking.

"What is happening here? Why are you all standing there?" Butler Li's voice reverberated at the back.

Butler Li just came inside the house after taking care of the garden. He noticed something unusual in the kitchen area. It became crowded as if something wrong was happening inside.

Who would have thought that Butler Li would also be surprised by the scene he would witness inside? Even the maids gathered around the kitchen, watching a wonderful sight. This was the first time they saw their Master, cooking in that kitchen.

Nathan looked so charming and hot with an apron wrapped around his body. He was fresh from the shower as his hair was still wet and messy. But this didn't make him less attractive at all. Instead, it added more to his charm.

The single ladies– maids and assistant cooks, including Cherry, could only watch him in awe. Their eyes never left him, following his every movement across that kitchen.

They didn't know what the King of the Mansion was doing there. Was he unhappy with the food the Chef and her assistants were cooking for the family?

What made Nathan Sparks come into the kitchen and cook breakfast personally?

Even Butler Li got shocked when he saw their master. His eyes widened in utter disbelief and his jaw dropped, unable to fathom why Nathan was there.

'Is this the end of the world?' Butler Li asked himself.

He fell silent for ten seconds, trying to absorb what he was seeing. It did not take long before Little Ethan came to the kitchen. He was still yawning when he saw his Dad being surrounded by people in the house.

Little Ethan smiled triumphantly, secretly punching the air using his small fists. He was so happy today, seeing his Dad obeying his advice and making an effort to gain Miss Abi's forgiveness.

"My Dad did the first item in the To-Do list– Make Miss Abi a breakfast in bed... in other words, cook for her!" Little Ethan murmured to himself.

He pulled out his phone inside his side pocket and secretly took Nathan's photo while he was busy preparing and cooking food in the kitchen.

"I will show this photo to Miss Abi. I am sure she will be happy to see this. My Dad is cooking food for her!"

Meanwhile, the kitchen staff and the maids kept murmuring around while Nathan continued to ignore them. He was so focused on the recipe.

"Are we going to lose our job?" Cherry asked her assistant cooks.

But the assistant cooks were feasting their eyes on Nathan, looking at him with their dreamy eyes. They didn't care about losing jobs. All they cared about at this moment was to savor this moment and watch Nathan. It was very rare to see their handsome master of the house cooking in the kitchen.

"We don't know the answer. But I'm gonna savor this moment to observe Master Nathan. He looks like a certified Chef... a handsome chef!" One assistant cook shared her thoughts. She couldn't help but fantasize about Nathan.

"Master surprisingly doesn't look scary today!" Another person spoke up.

"What had gotten into him? Why did he touch the kitchen?" Cherry asked them curiously. She had to admit that Nathan's handsomeness was too hard to ignore. He completely mesmerized the people around him.

"Is there a special occasion today, Butler Li?" This time a maid approached Butler Li and asked him a question.

"Is he cooking for someone? A woman or for young Master Ethan?"

They were all curious about this strange behavior of their Master.

Butler Li could only shrug his shoulders. He also didn't have any ideas.

"Why don't you ask Master Nathan, himself?" Butler Li suggested nonchalantly. The ladies just pouted their lips. No one had the courage to talk to Nathan aside from Butler Li and the Head Maid.

"You already know that we are afraid to talk to him." One maid spoke up.

"Don't worry. He won't bite you," Butler Li replied while chuckling.

"Good morning, Uncle Li!" Little Ethan greeted him, making his presence known to everyone.

"Oh, young master, you are up! Good morning!" Butler Li greeted him back. The maids and others did the same.

Ethan showed his dominance as early as this morning as he commanded them, "Go back to work now. Don't disturb my Dad with his first cooking."

The other maids sighed in disappointment. They still wanted to watch Nathan but Ethan was already asking them to leave.

Butler Li supported Ethan and told everyone to go to their respective stations. But Cherry and the assistant cooks didn't know what they should do. They were supposed to be working in the kitchen but the Master of the house occupied it this morning.

"What are we supposed to do, Butler Li?" Cherry asked him politely. "We can't touch the kitchen as of this moment..." she added.

Butler Li scratched the back of his head as he realized it. "Ahem, just plant vegetables in the backyard just to kill time," Butler Li suggested.

Cherry and the assistant cooks went out to follow Butler Li's instructions. When everyone left, Butler Li approached Little Ethan.

"Young Master, do you know why your father is doing this?" Butler Li suspected that this young master of his somehow knew the reason. Among them, only Ethan was not surprised upon seeing his dad working around the kitchen with a cute pink apron on his body.

Little Ethan smiled meaningfully before motioning Butler Li to lean closer. He would tell him something.

"My Dad is doing this because of Miss Abi. He made a mistake, making Miss Abi upset. So I gave my Dad some tips on how he can reconcile with Miss Abi and gain her forgiveness." Little Ethan whispered to Butler Li's ear.

Butler Li: "..."

'So the young master and Miss Abi have something to do with this...'
