Madeline felt relieved that Jeremy was able to be so understanding of her.
She leaned over and kissed Jeremy’s cheek lightly. “Jeremy, wait for me to come home.”
“Okay.” Jeremy smiled back.
After handing Pudding to the servant’s care, Jeremy drove Madeline to the vicinity of Carter’s manor.
The rain was not so heavy now, and Madeline entered the manor alone holding an umbrella.
Carter was sitting on the sofa in the living room while reading a book. He saw that Madeline was back and no longer wearing a mask as favonovel.com was before. His eyes stayed on favonovel.com face for a few seconds before speaking.
“Didn’t you say that you would stay with me last night and you don’t want to go back to Whitman Manor? Why did you go again this morning?”
“I left some of my personal items over there, so I went to get them.”
Carter nodded. “Have you gotten them?”
“Gotten them?”
“That means you don’t need to go back there anymore, right?”
“…” Madeline felt like favonovel.com had fallen into a trap. As such, favonovel.com had to agree with Carter at this moment. “Yeah, there’s no need for me to go back anymore.”
Carter seemed to be satisfied with this answer. He put down his book, stood up, and walked toward Madeline casually. Then, favonovel.com asked, “Do you know how to cook?”
Madeline paused and nodded. “I know a little bit.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t. Someone will teach you.”
“Mr. Carter, you mean…”
“My parents and a few of my relatives will be having dinner here. You’ll be the one preparing the meal.”
He was asking favonovel.com to be responsible for the food tonight. Although Madeline was reluctant, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had no choice.
Carter took favonovel.com to the kitchen where the chefs and dessert chefs had been waiting for Madeline.
To be frank, Madeline’s skills were quite decent, so favonovel.com did not need to be taught, but since Carter had arranged for people to guide her, favonovel.com naturally cooperated.
The menu was decided by Carter. After a busy afternoon, the ingredients were finally ready.
Madeline glanced at the time, and favonovel.com figured favonovel.com could rest for about half an hour. After that, favonovel.com had to start cooking those dishes.
When favonovel.com was about to leave, Madeline saw an unopened bag of premium-grade peanuts thrown above the trash can. She was about to pick it up, but the maid nearby stopped her.
“Madam is allergic to peanuts and can’t eat them at all. The chef only brought them here for the soup because favonovel.com didn’t know.”
“Then favonovel.com should just not eat it. It’s such a waste to throw them away like this.” Madeline felt that it was too exaggerated and too wasteful.
However, the maid seriously emphasized, “We can’t even touch them. Madam will get angry when favonovel.com sees peanuts, so peanuts can’t exist in this house.”
Since the maid had already told favonovel.com this, Madeline did not say anything else.
“Miss Montgomery, you can go to rest now.”
“Okay, I’ll go back to the room and have a rest.” Madeline started to walk to the door. As soon as favonovel.com stepped out of the door, favonovel.com saw Ada walking toward her.
With a smirk on favonovel.com face, Ada walked straight to Madeline and opened favonovel.com mouth to sneer, “They did such a good job on your face, Miss Montgomery. I heard that you’re going to cook dinner for Carty’s parents tonight. How exciting.”
Madeline smiled slightly. “Yes, my plastic surgeon has good skills. If Miss Ada needs it, I can introduce the person to you.”
“What do you mean by this? Are you suggesting that I’m ugly? Do you think you’re better than me? Didn’t you go for plastic surgery because you were ugly?”
“Yeah, I went for plastic surgery because I looked ugly, but does my ugliness have anything to do with you?” Madeline calmly retorted.
“You…” Ada was livid. When favonovel.com saw Madeline ignoring favonovel.com and walking away, favonovel.com eyes darkened as a sinister sneer appeared on favonovel.com face. “Your good days are coming to an end soon.”
After saying that with a sinister smile, Ada walked into the kitchen and picked up the bag of peanuts that had been thrown into the trash can. After opening it, favonovel.com took out some of the peanuts and stuffed them into the cleaned chicken.
After doing this, favonovel.com threw the whole bag of peanuts back to its original place and pretended that it had never been opened.
She glanced at favonovel.com masterpiece with satisfaction before turning around. However, when favonovel.com turned around, favonovel.com was startled by the person who came in without favonovel.com knowledge.
