Upon hearing this, Cheyenne pouted and looked into his dark eyes, earnestly saying, “I want to go too.”
Naturally, Kelvin vetoed this idea. He reached out and firmly held the small woman in his arms, his deep and magnetic voice resolutely echoing above her head.
“No, you can’t.”
“Why not?”
“If both of us leave, Grandpa won’t be able to handle that mischievous child.”
“Don’t worry, I genuinely want to help you find Omari. Otherwise, I’m afraid that even if you wear a wedding dress and marry me, you will still be thinking about someone else. That won’t do!”
Helping Omari was actually helping himself. What Kelvin wanted was for Cheyenne to belong to him completely, from body to heart.
As for other men, even thinking about them was unacceptable!
Kelvin didn’t allow her to go, and Cheyenne couldn’t insist because she couldn’t free herself at the moment.
Not only did she have work to handle at the hospital, but she also had two children to take care of.
After thinking for a moment, she tiptoed and hugged him proactively, gently resting her head on Kelvin’s shoulder.
“Okay, then be careful when you go alone. When do you leave? I’ll book your plane ticket.”
“Tomorrow morning.”
Tonight, he still had to hold a last-minute meeting to go over the company’s affairs.
Having a rough idea of what was on his mind, Cheyenne blinked her eyes. “Then call Chris back. Otherwise, Krystal will say you have no humanity.”
Sending Chris on a business trip was because Kelvin couldn’t stand his show of affection in front of him. Now that there was important business, of course, Kelvin had to call him back.
“Okay.”
“You go take a shower and check on the children. I’ll go to the study for the meeting.”
A simple embrace gave Kelvin infinite motivation. Even though it was already ten o’clock at night, he didn’t feel the least bit tired.
The couple had their own matters to attend to, and Cheyenne didn’t disturb him. She got up and walked towards the children’s room.
When Cheyenne finished telling stories to the two children and put them to sleep in their room, the study’s light was still on.
If it weren’t for her, Kelvin wouldn’t have to work so hard. Thinking of this, she turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen.
Cheyenne knew how to cook very few dishes, but making instant noodles was no problem.
The family’s cook only came during the day to prepare meals and left after they had dinner, so if they got hungry and wanted to eat at night, they had to do it themselves.
However, the Foley family had a rule: no eating after nine o’clock, so they generally didn’t have the need for late-night snacks.
Today was a special day because Cheyenne and Kelvin didn’t eat much for dinner due to Omari’s situation. By now, their stomachs were rumbling.
As the water boiled, Cheyenne tore open two packets of instant noodles and threw them into the pot. She found a tomato and a few baby bok choy in the refrigerator, washed them, and added them to the pot with the noodles.
Although the vegetables still looked fresh, if they weren’t eaten tonight, the housekeeper would ask the cook to throw them in the trash the next morning.
This was Grandpa’s requirement to ensure the health of their two little great-grandchildren. Leftover food, including vegetables and fruits, had to be discarded.
The person who used to buy groceries was the cook, and she knew the appetite of everyone in the house very well. The meals were just enough, with very little waste.
But this time, Cheyenne bought the vegetables, which is why they were left for the night.
Otherwise, even if she wanted to make a late-night snack, she would be at a loss. In the end, Cheyenne fried two eggs, one for each person.
The golden eggs and the bright red tomatoes complemented the green vegetables, spread over the noodles.
Just by looking at the colors, it feels pleasing to the eye. As for whether it tastes good or not, Cheyenne doesn’t care. It’s already impressive that she can cook by herself.
If he dares to be picky, then he can eat nothing!
She divided it into two bowls, cut an orange and placed it on a plate, then carried the tray upstairs to the study.
The study door was not closed. In the soft yellow light, Kelvin was diligently assigning tasks to the employees for the next few days.
It was already midnight, and everyone on the other end of the computer screen was tired, trying to stifle their yawns for fear of being seen.
“Chris will be back tomorrow. He will temporarily take over my position to handle daily affairs. If there is anything urgent, you can contact me. For undecided matters, wait until I come back. Let the chairman represent me at tomorrow’s ribbon-cutting ceremony.”
“The design project in cooperation with Nymphscape Group will be handled by the marketing department. I should be able to return in seven days for the negotiation…”
Before Kelvin finished speaking, a graceful figure calmly walked from the door to his side, placing the tray down.
He was stunned.
“What’s this?”
Cheyenne’s ears turned slightly red. Even after knowing him for so many years, it was the first time she had made a late-night snack for this guy.
“I made it. Eat it if you want.”
It wasn’t a matter of whether to eat or not, but rather an unexpected surprise!
A surprise that caught him off guard!
The man’s scorching gaze stared directly at her blushing face, then at the beautifully colored instant noodles in front of him. Kelvin rarely showed a satisfied smile.
“Of course, I’ll eat! This is my wife’s cooking for me.”
After saying that, he picked up a fork and gently stirred the bowl, using it to feed Cheyenne a mouthful of noodles.
“You go ahead and eat.”
Cheyenne didn’t know that they were currently in a remote meeting. She reached out and ran her fingers through her hair, taking a bite.
From the perspective of the onlookers, all they could see was her sitting to the side, her white figure petite and delicate in the soft light, with long hair cascading like a waterfall.
The hand that tied her hair was slender, even her earlobes were delicately beautiful.
And their usually aloof Mr. Foley now looked like a young man in love, enthusiastically feeding his girlfriend. The smile on his lips never faded.
Cheyenne took a bite but didn’t want to continue. “Don’t mind me, I have some more.”
“Well, I’ll finish the meeting as soon as possible and come to accompany you.”
Kelvin enjoyed the lovingly prepared late-night snack from his wife. To be honest, it was a bit salty because she put too much salt. But the taste in his mouth felt wonderful when he thought that it was made by Cheyenne.
Because it tasted like happiness!
On the other side of the screen, everyone seemed to smell the aroma of instant noodles. Late nights were always a time when one’s mouth watered, and now they were forced to watch a live-stream of a couple’s affectionate eating.
Kelvin would occasionally feed the vegetables from his own bowl to his wife, peel an orange and make sure it was completely clean before putting it in her mouth.
Afterward, he would take a tissue and gently wipe her mouth, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze.
“Be careful, don’t get it on your clothes.”
“Eat slowly, if it’s not enough, I have more.”
“Cheyenne, you’re amazing. The instant noodles you cook are even more delicious than those made by hotel chefs. But next time, don’t fry the egg. I’m afraid the oil might splatter on you. Maybe you can call me.”
…
On the other side of the screen, everyone was trying hard not to let their saliva drip from the corners of their mouths.
