My Lady Chef novel Chapter 34

Ely's POV:

The door opened. It must be Linda.

"Linda, can you make me a sandwich and refill the tea please," I said as I placed my half-filled glass on the tray. "I still have a few more papers to look through so go ahead and take your dinner."

"I already sent your maid away to eat, wife."

My husband's deep voice made me stop as I felt his body heat behind my back. He reached over and drank what was left of my tea before he examined the pile of papers I have finished approving.

"Neat as usual. Pierce has been singing your praises a lot lately. " the respect and approval his voice made my cheeks redden a bit as he suddenly placed a hand on my shoulder. "Dress up nicely. Something in purple that sets off your vibrant eyes."

"Are we going somewhere?"

"Yes. We are going to make a statement. Welcome to your first taste of Illiosan high society." He whispered. "Meet you at the carriage in an hour?"

I turned around and he was suddenly gone like the wind.

What was that all about?

Ezran's POV:

A few hours later,

I knew something was wrong when I received a letter from my wife. She looked serene but I can smell the scent of pain and sadness from her.

After reading the contents of the letter from Lady Lorax. I felt like wringing her pretty neck.

That brazen fox...

They were words of provocation disguised as flowery love words and she made it seem like we were still lovers. She purposely did this to sow doubt in my wife's mind.

And it worked.

No wonder my wife looked pale and unhappy. Society gossip travels fast and she is an intelligent woman. She is no fool.

She knows who Margaret is to me.

But I am pretty sure I ordered a "Black Blossom" box sent to her to end our relationship the moment I came back. Most of the proper noble ladies complied or are usually scared of risking my wrath to oppose me.

Shit.

Well, if she wants to see me then I should do just that but I won't come to her like an obedient puppy.
