NovelBarChapter 384 Heart Racing Michael glanced at Emma. "Bringanother set of cutlery." Emma cheerfully complied and quickly handed him a new set.
Michael served himself a bowl of cream of mushroom soup from Chloe's side, completely ignoring the soup Rosie had prepared for him.
Rosie felt utterly humiliated, unable to swallow her anger.
She was about to speak when Chloe interrupted, "Rosie. You are a nutritionist. If you also have to do the cook's job, the salary is really too little. The Shawn family certainly doesn't exploit its employees, so you don't need to do any other work at home." Chloe gave her plenty of face, not exposing her ulterior motives.
Chloe could guess why Rosie insisted on cooking just for Michael.
"From now on, I'll eat whatever Chloe eats. There's no need to cook separately for me. I hired you to be her nutritionist." Michael took a sip of the rich cream of mushroom soup, his tone indifferent.
Rosie's hand clenched tightly at her side. "I was just concerned that with Mrs. Shawn possibly being pregnant, what she eats might not suit you, Mr. Shawn." After all, pregnant women needed highly nutritious food, which could sometimes be overly rich.
"I quite enjoy it." Michael showed no appreciation, and after speaking, he forked another piece of chicken from Chloe's plate.
After dinner, Michael suggested they take a walk.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChloe didn't want to go. She just wanted to lie down and rest.
Besides, they would be sleeping together tonight. After being separated for so long, she found it a bit unsettling to suddenly share a bed with him again. "Walking more is good for the baby." Michael said this while putting on his jacket.
Chloe had no reason to refuse. All the servants in the house were watching.
So, reluctantly, she followed him outside.
As soon as they stepped out, she spoke irritably, "The pregnancy is fake. I don't need to be good for the baby. Mr. Shawn, aren't you getting too into character?" Although she knew there was indeed a baby inside her, she was a lazy mother who just wanted to lie down after eating.
Lotus Manor was an upscale residential area with excellent greenery.
Michael looked straight ahead. "You're physically weak. Even without the baby, walking more is good for your health." Chloe glared at him, feeling he was deliberately making her uncomfortable.
As they strolled along the sidewalk, Chloe found it wasn't as unpleasant as she had imagined.
The late summer breeze was quite refreshing.
She had just eaten soverly nutritious food, after all.
The surroundings were very quiet, with the faint sound of cicadas chirping in the background.
The orange streetlights gradually lit up, adding a touch of warmth.
Just as they were about to turn a corner, a black object suddenly darted out from the bushes. Seeing it charge toward her, Chloe was startled.
"Ah!" She screamed, and Michael immediately pulled her behind him, shielding her.
She clung to his strong arm, peeking out cautiously.
Under the streetlight, Chloe saw what had just lunged at her.
It was a large shepherd dog.
It looked quite silly, with hair over its eyes almost completely covering them.
It had its mouth open and tongue pink, and it was rubbing against Michael and Chloe's feet.
It seemed to recognize Chloe.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing it was a dog, Chloe sighed in relief.
She had a soft spot for small animals.
A young girl in a loose cotton linen dress with two braids ran over from a distance.
Seeing the shepherd dog, she gently scolded, "Baxter, chere, stop messing around!"
The shepherd dog, named "Baxter", turned its head at its owner's call spun around, but still reluctantly stayed close to Chloe.
The girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, immediately glasped her hands in front of her and apologized to the two of them. "I'm sorry, Baxter is too playful. I hope he didn't scare you." Chloe shook her head. "It's okay, dogs being lively is normal." "Can I pet your dog?" "Go ahead, he's very gentle and hardly ever bites!" With permission, Chloe confidently placed her hand on Baxter.
The curly fur felt incredibly soft.
Michael watched her gentle smile, especially under the streetlight, Which cast a halo around her. Even her hair seemed to glow.
His heart was suddenly struck by something, beating faster and faster.
