Chapter 5 Cooking noodles

“What did you say…,” a faint growl came out from his mouth and Antony’s sharp gaze directed towards Liu Xu.

With silence, Liu Xu got up and walked to the door. He really didn’t get what were women who rushed to a guy like him thinking about? He was no fun at all.

At dinner time, Paddy said that he was unwell and didn’t want to go downstairs for dinner, asking Helen to bring the food upstairs. Watching him how he ate and ate with great appetite, Helen then understood. “Slow down. No one is taking yours.” Her intuition was that this kid didn’t seem to like Gao Wen.

Originally, they should have gone to the sea by yacht the next day. But at 9 in the evening, Antony seemed to have answered a phone call and had an urgent matter. And he took everyone home.

A noisy and messy bar. The heavy metal music could even penetrate though the heavy doors.

VIP Room

Antony’s slender fingers tilted the wine glass back and forth, and the red liquid inside moved following the movement.

“Bring that person in.”

When his words fell, the door was pushed open and a woman was pushed in.

Exquisite facial features and looking fresh. She was looking out of place in this situation. But everyone who came here knew that this was just her disguise.

“Repeat what you just said.” Han Yinghao skipped to Antony’s direction.

Picking up the wine glass, Antony drank it in one gulp. “If there’s a lie, watch out for your tongue,” he said lightly. But everyone who was present knew that Antony Davis could do such thing. In his eyes, there were only things he thought and didn’t thought of, never dared and didn’t dared to.

The woman knelt on the floor. “Back then, it was them who forced me. They, they asked me to give you a medicine. Then… Then took your… sperm.”

“Who?”

“Your… Your father…” The woman was trembling a little, but she didn’t dare to hide a bit. She hated herself for drinking too much and talked too much.

“And then? Who is the woman?”

“I don’t know. I really don’t know. At first, I—I wanted to get pregnant myself… but, your—your father doesn’t like me, so he gave me a lot of money to get out of the country. I… I ran out of money already, then just secretly returned to C City, I—“

“Send her away. I never want to see her again,” Antony interrupted her, feeling a little annoyed.

“Antony, let me go. I promise, I won’t say anything.” The woman’s thin fingers gently pulled his trousers. There were tears in her eyes. She pitifully begged Antony.

Too bad…

“Take her out,” he growled. Inwardly, he was indescribably relieved. Naturally, his son’s mother couldn’t be such a person.

Liu Xu sat beside him, fiddling with the bar’s empty wine glass. After a moment, he patted Antony on the back, “Your old man shouldn’t cheat on you. After all, they wouldn’t just find anyone to be Paddy’s mom. Besides, look at your boy’s looks, I think his mother shouldn’t be bad.”

Antony didn’t respond and was silent. He really didn’t understand his father’s purpose back then of doing this. He was still young. If he wanted children, it was just a matter of time. Why did he have to leave him a child with such way?

“Let me say that the most unlucky person is Gao Wen as she’ll become a stepmother. In the future, you have to treat her well.” Antony glared at Liu Xu.

Thinking of Gao Wen, he picked up a drink and drank all of the bottle. He did owe her, since he was young until now.

Unbuttoning the button on his sleeve, he pulled it up, then picked up his jacket. He looked at Liu Xu and ordered, “That’s why you need to work harder on next early month’s engagement banquet.”

Liu Xu rolled his eyes at Antony who walked to the door. It wasn’t he the one who engaged, wasn’t the one who was sorry to the person. Why should it be him who worked hard?

When Antony came home, he saw that the light in Paddy’s room was on. He looked at the time on his wrist. It was almost one o’clock. He normally had gone to bed at this time, he thought as he opened the door and went in. Then, he saw a big person and a small person on the bed.

Ever since her mother was sick, Helen had become a light-sleeper. She woke up as soon as he heard the door opening, but she was still in dazed and hadn’t completely woken up. At this moment, she heard footsteps and all of a sudden, she sat up.

Antony was standing by the bed and his face was dark, staring at her.

“I chatted with him for a while. Then I was sleepy and fell asleep accidentally. You… Young master, you’ve returned?”

After she said that, she pulled up the blanket for Paddy. Then she nodded to Antony and said, “Young master, I’m going back to my room first!”

When she passed, the faint smell on the air went through her nose. Antony swallowed and suddenly his throat felt dry.

“Go cook a bowl of noodles for me!” He didn’t eat much dinner and had drunk a lot of alcohol. His stomach felt sick at this moment.

She was shocked at Antony’s unreasonable request. She was here to take care of Paddy. It was already said at first that she was only responsible for Paddy Davis’ daily life. Could she refuse to cook noodles for the young master?

After all, it was the middle of the night. A man and a widow. Fine. Although she knew her current situation, she couldn’t make Antony to have other thoughts. But, she just didn’t want to have much interaction with him.

He looked down at her.

She didn’t want to like him either!

“One thousand yuan for a bowl of noodles.”

When Helen heard him, she lowered her head and felt a bit uncomfortable. Money was a really good thing. Back then, her mother was sick and if it weren’t for short of money, she wouldn’t…

Antony was a little annoyed by her hesitation.

This woman had been here for almost half a month. She was always indifferent whenever she saw him. This made him a bit strange for a person who had always been treated as a star.

“Yes, young master!” Although she was extremely sleepy, she wasn’t interested in money. After all, after the death of her mother, it was enough for her alone to have food to eat and clothes to wear. She had no more requirements for materialistic.

Besides, the salary given by the Davis wasn’t a small amount. It was enough for her to spend. But, she still didn’t want to confront him blatantly. After all, it was only his right to say she got to take care of Paddy or not.

There were all kinds of fresh vegetables, meats, and fish in the fridge. She knew that Antony liked a lighter taste. Thinking about the alcohol smell on his body, she cooked a bowl of seafood noodles with oyster.

When the noodles were done and brought out to the table, Antony was coming down at the same time, wearing a navy silk night. He had a slender tall and big figure but not bulky. With a clear view, his neckline was slightly opened, revealing his healthy wheat-colored skin. He had indeed received blessing from heaven—he’s perfect.

Seeing him lifting up his head, Helen quickly diverted her gaze. When she was trying to untie to knot of her apron on her neck, she accidentally touched her hair bun. It might be because she was sleeping just now, and it had come loosened. Her long hair spread out without being burdened and fell to one side of her cheek. At this moment, the warm light was shining on one side of her face. With a look, it showed that she looked a little different from her usual.

She lightly yelped a ‘oh’. She wanted to run when Antony wasn’t noticing, but obviously, the young master’s gaze had told her that she was too late…
