Chapter 1042
Stella was taken aback when she saw that photo.
Stella asked: [What is he doing?]
Xenia replied: [He's cooking porridge for me. I told him I was having very bad morning sickness and had no
appetite. He got so nervous and worried that the baby would be affected if I didn't eat and came with a bunch of
things. I said that I wanted to eat the porridge he cooked, so he started learning and cooking it on the spot.]
Stella was dumbfounded.
She had no idea whether to laugh or mock Albert.
Albert had never set foot in the kitchen before. He used to score very well in exams since he was young, and
although he came from a village, his family doted on him. His family had several plantation fields, and his parents
always asked his little brothers to do all the farming work, never letting him break a sweat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, despite coming from a small town, Albert was treated like an heir of a wealthy family who got to enjoy all the
best resources his family could offer him with.
He probably did not even know how to hold a scythe properly, let alone cook.
Not only had he not cooked before, but he also had his own principles. When Stella used to argue with him when
she was young, she always heard him say that women should stay at home to care for the family while men should
earn money. He even told Stella that her future husband would feel inferior and disrespected if she were to take the
lead in everything.
It was strange that a misogynist like him would suddenly start cooking.
However, his actions started to make sense when the motivation behind him doing all that was because he knew
that Xenia was pregnant with his son.
Stella said: [He didn't suspect anything about the report, right?]
Xenia replied: [Not at all. He wouldn't stop staring at my stomach in these two days. He even said my stomach
looked a little pointy, so it must be a boy. I guess he has already imagined what the child will look like.]
Stella: [Hylda is a wicked person. She will probably take action when she finds out you're having a baby boy. So look
after yourself and call me immediately if anything goes wrong.]
Xenia read Stella's message and sent her another reply: [She probably already knew it. Sophia already came to
harass me, but she was stopped and warned by Albert's bodyguards. I'm sure she'll tell Hylda about it since she
can't do anything to me.]
Stella thought for a while and replied: [Post the photo you took on your Twitter and make it visible to only people
working in Albert's company.]
Xenia did as Stella said.
Sophia could not reach Albert on the phone and walked back and forth anxiously.
At that time, Hylda's phone rang. She took a glance at it, and her pupils immediately contracted.
One of the spies she placed in Albert's company sent her a screenshot of the photo Xenia had just posted on her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTwitter.
In the photo, Albert was busy cooking in the kitchen. Xenia's caption was: [A man who knows how to cook is so
attractive.]
Hylda was breathless with anger. That was the moment she felt an unprecedented sense of threat.
When she was pregnant with Hugo, Albert took good care of her too, but mainly in materialistic ways. He did not go
so far and did something so diligent to her.
Judging from how similar Xenia and Rainee looked, it was difficult for her not to suspect that the scumbag, Albert,
still had not completely moved on from his old lover.
If that was really the case, her position in the family would be at a greater risk.
The more Hylda thought about it, the more restless she got.' I can never let her give birth to this baby.’ She thought
to herself.
After that, she quickly called Albert without thinking any further.
Xenia waited for Albert's phone to ring thrice before giving it to him, "Mr. Jewell, your wife's calling."
Albert paused and almost cut his finger.
He frowned as he took the phone over. Then, he heard Hylda question him assertively, "What are you doing? What
took you so long to pick up?"
