Renee walked in with a curious expression and asked, “What can I help you with?”


    Mr. Q was wearing disposable stic gloves in both hands. He was marinating the steaks with a secret


    sauce.


    “Help me wear the apron, please. My hands are upied.”


    He gestured to an apron hanging on the cab with his chin, giving out themand naturally.


    “Help you… put on the apron?”


    Renee felt a moment of awkwardness. She hesitated and did not move.

    This kind of action was way too intimate. Wasn’t this usually something that only couples would do?


    Mr. Q turned around and looked at her tly. “Is something wrong? Are you… shy?”


    “Of course not!”


    Renee did not want to show him her cowardly side, so she forced herself to grab the apron and moved


    behind him. She had to tiptoe to put the apron over his head. She pretended to be nonchnt and said,


    “I’m a divorced woman. I’ve experienced everything before. Why would I be shy?”


    Her slender arms wrapped around the man’s strong waist, and her thin fingers tied a bow around the


    waistband neatly. She patted the man’s back and said jokingly, “Hmm, not bad. You look like a good


    househusband.”


    Tsk tsk, although Mr. Q’s face was ruined, his body was top-notch. He had wide shoulders, a narrow


    waist, and firm muscles. His body was on par with Stefan’s.


    The outside world was vast indeed. There were lots of other trees in the forest. Her vision was


    seriously too narrow in the past. Her eyes could see no one else but Stefan.


    Yet plenty of men she met after her divorce wereparable to Stefan, even Isaac, the escort she met


    at the bar!


    After marinating the steaks, Mr. Q set the timer to wait for the sauce to seep in.


    He took off his stic gloves and casually grabbed a kiwi to make a fruit yogurt sd.


    He poured oat into the fruit yogurt while stirring it with a spoon. He then scooped a spoonful and


    offered it to Renee.


    “Try this and see if you like it.”


    “Umm…”


    Renee leaned back warily. She was not used to being so intimate with a man. She awkwardly took the


    spoon and said, “I can do it myself.”


    The man’s lips curled into a weird smile. “I thought you’re a divorced woman who has experienced


    everything before? Why are you so conservative?”


    “This isn’t being conservative. It’s called a sense of boundaries – a sense of boundaries between men


    and women, understand?”


    Renee raised her eyebrows and put on a righteous look.


    After having a taste of Mr. Q’s sd, her eyes immediately brightened. She could not help praising, “Oh


    my god, this is so good. Who would have thought that a burly man like you would have such delicate


    skills? You truly are “Beach City’s Famous Chef”!”


    “I’m alright.”


    He crossed his legs and his arms and leanedzily against the kitchen counter. He told Renee, who


    could not stop eating, “As long as you put your heart into making a dish, it definitely won’t taste too bad.


    I’m guessing your cooking skills should be pretty good too. My rival, your ex-husband Stefan Hunt,


    must have enjoyed a lot of good food.”


    The spoon in Renee’s hand paused in mid-air for a moment. Her fair face hardened slightly. Then, she


    chuckled to herself. “Maybe only the dogs in Hunt Manor can tell if I’m truly good at cooking. How


    would Stefan Hunt know?”


    “What do you mean by that?”


    “When I first got married to him, I was a meek little wife who seldom went out and only had him in my


    eyes. My favorite activity every day was to make him a whole table of delicious food. Unfortunately, he


    was not interested. We were married for four years, but I can count on two hands the number of times


    we dined together. Most of the food I made for him went to the dogs.”


    Thinking back of the time when she had been foolishly devoted, she felt sad and pathetic.


    She was really young at the time, that’s why she was full of passion. She kept trying even when there


    was no response. It only made her more determined.


    But now, things are different. She was the mother of two children. She had suffered enough, so she


    would not be that foolish anymore.


    For her, a man was just a hobby now. She would not love anyone more than she loved herself and her


    two children.


    After hearing Renee’sints, Mr. Q remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he asked, “If he’s


    interested in your cooking now, would you still cook for him?”
