Chapter 737: Many Times Husband

"Do you know how to cook?"

Kael froze mid-bite, his spoon suspended in mid-air as he glanced up. Nora Frost was staring at him with an expression that could only be described as curious, though her gaze felt sharper than he might have liked. Added to that, the one sitting on her side seemed to be sending laser beams his way. If looks could kill, Kale was sure he’d be lying dead now, his face in the porridge bowl in front of him.

Clearing his throat, Kael forced himself to answer, "Uh, no... not really." Somehow it felt incriminating to answer that. As if it would be a negative mark for him

Nora raised an eyebrow, her curiosity only seeming to deepen. "Why not?"

Kael blinked, caught off guard by the question. Why not? Who just asked that out of the blue? He fumbled for an answer, feeling the awkward weight of both pairs of eyes on him. "Uhh... I guess I spent most of my childhood learning about... random things, like politics and political families, you know. Cooking just never came up."

Nora leaned forward slightly, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "So, you’re saying you can debate foreign policy but can’t make scrambled eggs?"

Kael’s face heated up. "Something like that." while Demetri snorted and turned to look at Dora who was trying to stay invisible as she ate her porridge.

Feeling Demon’s gaze on her, she looked up as he said pointedly," The Frost all know how to cook."

Dora grimaced and hurriedly looked back into her porridge. Okay okay. So he was not like the Frosts. She’d already accepted that. No need to rub her face in it.

Demetri then turned back to Kael and spoke a single word," Learn."

Kael blinked, even as he found himself nodding before realizing what he’d done. He’d just agreed with Demon’s orders to learn to cook.

Just then, the door to the dining room opened, and Cai entered, balancing a stack of pancakes on a plate in one hand and something else in the other. Kael frowned. Could the man had worst timing? Just when’ he’d been asked to learn, he turned up with his perfect pancakes.

At least the man was grumbling something under his breath as he dropped the pancakes onto the table with a soft thud and muttered, "I don’t get it. This hotel has an entire kitchen downstairs, so why am I the one making breakfast?"

Without missing a beat, Nora and Dora chimed in at the same time, both in perfect sync, "Because you make the best pancakes."

In the next moment, the two dark heads turned to look at the respective women. Nora, already used to Demon, winked playfully at him," Best pancakes in the next generation of Frosts, of course..."

While Dora ignored the gaze on her as she pouted at Cai," Gimme!"

Kael’s eyes flicked between Dora and Cai, his stomach knotting with a familiar twinge of jealousy. He didn’t know what irritated him more—the fact that Cai had it easy with Dora or that Dora was so comfortable demanding pancakes from him. As if she’d done this a countless times. Either way, something in Kael tightened as Cai picked up one of the pancakes from the stack and, with an easy, unbothered grin, held it out to Dora while bowing to Dora," Of course, my princess."

Dora didn’t hesitate. She leaned forward, took a playful bite right out of Cai’s hand, and then leaned back with a satisfied smile, as if this was the most natural thing in the world. "Mmm, perfect as always."

Kael shifted in his seat, his fingers tightening around his spoon as he tried to keep his expression neutral. It was just a pancake. There was no need to feel territorial over a stupid pancake. But as Dora licked off the sugar from her lips, the jealousy was harder to ignore. Did she not realise that he was sitting right here, enduring the interrogation for her? She was treating him like he was invisible.

Of course, none of his changing expressions was missed by Nora and Demetri who exchanged a glance again. And then Demetri leaned back, with a satisfied expression, ready to watch, while Nora began causally," See that? Dora has a soft spot for Cai due to his cooking."

Kael composed his expression and answere," Of course."

Cai, meanwhile was not to be left behind," What do you mean she has a soft spot for me due to my cooking? She likes me for other reasons as well. Don’t you, Dora?", he finished with a poke on her cheek while Dora narrowed her eyes, oblivious to everything as she nodded her head.

Nora agreed," Okay. okay. I agree. She might like you because you married her so many times."

Three people coughed at the same time while Nora sat back, with the most innocent expression on her face while Demon suppressed his laughter.

Dora, having finally caught on,hurriedly gulped the pancake in her mouth before glaring at Nora and then turning to Kael to explain," She means the school plays, okay? Me and Cai were usually paired off so he’s been my husband a lot of times..."

Kael nodded and yet, he couldn’t help but shoot a glare at Cai who was now pulling a chair next to Dora to sit...

But of course, Nora was just starting," Of course, I’m talking about school plays. Kael probably guessed that Don’t worry, Dora.." Nora then turned to Kael," Since you seem to be dating Dora and Cai has so much experience maybe he can teach you how to..."

Dora kicked Nora under the table as she interrupted Nora, " Cai does not need to teach Kael how to be my husband."

"I meant pancakes. Dora. Cai can teach him how to make pancakes and your other favourite dishes." Nora said sweetly while making poor Dora sweat over her own guffaw.

Cai nodded amenably, "Of course I can teach him how to make Dora happy... with her favourite foods..."
