My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 49 My Wife Cut It For Me

Loren Taylor was afraid that she might change her mind, so he immediately said, “Any time is fine. I’m free today.”

“I’m not free today. Tomorrow will do.” Gloria Taylor said lightly.

When Gloria Taylor was still living with the Taylors, she was way too submissive and everyone in the family including Loren Taylor was used to her that way.

Hearing her casual tone, Loren Taylor became impatient, “You’re not working now. What are you busy with?’

“Do you think I’m not taking you seriously? I really have something to do now, Dad. I have to go. I’ll send you the address later.”

She hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and typed a message for Loren Taylor.

Loren Taylor received the message and saw the address. He frowned.

In his memory, Gloria Taylor was a green and foolish girl. He didn’t expect that she would choose Jin Ding.

Jin Ding’s prices gave him a headache.

Jing Ding was the place where ‘Leon Clarke’ took Gloria Taylor for dinner last time. It was an expensive place and Gloria Taylor chose it.

There was another reason. Jin Ding was a formal and high-end club, Loren Taylor dared not make a fuss there.

The only things she needed the most right now was a lawyer.

But, she didn’t have one and she couldn’t afford it.

Recently, Carl Cook would call Kenny Clarke every night to complain about himself being bullied by seniors in the company.

There were many things happened in the company recently. So, Kenny Clarke decided to go to the company.

After two meetings, he deployed the projects and went back.

He arrived at the villa during lunchtime. As soon as he entered the villa, he smelled an appetizing aroma from the kitchen.

Was she cooking?

Kenny Clarke gave his coat to his assistant and walked toward the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Gloria Taylor was wearing an apron. She tiptoed trying to press the button of the cooker hood.

But, the button was too high that she couldn’t reach it. Kenny Clarke walked over and helped her press the button.

Gloria Taylor looked back. She was beautiful even without her makeup. Her previous thick bang now looked a lot thinner. She was holding spatula in her right hand and an apron on her body. Her bright and fair face was soft and gentle. From NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re back! The lunch will be ready soon.” Gloria Taylor had a favor for him, so, she behaved as nice as possible.

Kenny Clark had many people who wanted to please him, but he was only interested when it was Gloria Taylor.

He gave a faint reply, “Hm.”

Then, with his hands in his pockets, he stood by watching her cook. His face was flat, but his eyes were always on her.

Noise on the frying pan drowned out their breathing sound.

After Gloria Taylor finished cooking her dish, she turned back to see that ‘Leon Clarke’ was still standing there.

“What are you doing standing there?”

Did he like the oily smoke?

Kenny Clarke turned and walked out, ‘Nothing.”

He just thought that she was pleasing to the eye, so he looked at her for a while.

At the dining table, after they finished their meal, she looked at him with a smile, “You and Kenny have private lawyers, right?”

“Hm.” Kenny Clarke wiped his mouth with a paper towel and asked, “Why do you ask that? Are you doing something at the court?”

“No.” she shook her head, “Do you have a kind of lawyer specialize in business contract? Can you lend me a hand?”

Kenny Clarke looked at her closely showing no expression, but Gloria Taylor traced a slight dissatisfaction.

What was he dissatisfied with?

Kenny Clarke thought that she was treating him nicely for an extraordinary request, but it turned out that she was just borrowing a lawyer.

He was disappointed.

“Yes, there is, but…” Kenny Clarke paused while looking at her.

Gloria Taylor checked herself. Was there something wrong with her clothes? Or did he want to make a shameless condition?

Gloria Taylor immediately crossed her arm against her chest.

When Kenny Clarke saw her reaction, he smiled and covered his mouth pretending to cough.

After he put his hand down, his face was flat again, “You will have to cook later on.”

“Later on?” she asked, “How long do I have to cook?”

“Well, it depends on my mood.” he said while tilting his head to the side with playful eyes.

“Okay. Deal!” Gloria Taylor replied.

‘Leon Clarke’ had no obligation to help her. His condition was also within her tolerance. In fact, it was not too much.

Kenny Clarke smiled and said in a commanding tone, “Now, cut the fruit.”

“…” Gloria Taylor was stunned. Didn’t he say cooking? Why did he command her around like she was a maid?

Although she was confused, she cut the fruit anyway.

After Gloria Taylor cut the fruit for him and served it on a plate, he left.

He just took a picture of it and sent it to Carl Cook.

Carl Cook replied just a few seconds after, “It’s just fruits! What’s the big deal?”

Kenny Clarke replied, “My wife cut it for me.”

Carl Cook replied him with an unconcerned emoji.

When he felt Carl Cook’s jealousy, Kenny Clarke was so satisfied and he began to eat the fruit.

In the afternoon, Gloria Taylor took the lawyer she borrowed from ‘Leon Clarke’ to Jin Ding.

She went out barefaced wearing a white padded jacket and a long denim pants. She also carried a bag on her back. She dressed very commonly.

Jin Ding was an exclusive place that was not accessible to commoners, but Loren Taylor had a large network. He could get in easily. She planned to let Loren Taylor come out to pick her up when she arrived.

However, when she brought her lawyer to the entrance of Jin Ding, the doorman didn’t stop her. He even smiled and greeted her enthusiastically, “Welcome.”

The style and hospitality of an exclusive club was indeed different.

Gloria Taylor went straight to Loren Taylor’s table.

Loren Taylor also brought a lawyer, but he didn’t expect that Gloria Taylor would bring one too.

After all, in his opinion, Gloria Taylor was slow in reacting and foolish compared to average people.

Gloria Taylor sat down opposite him, “Dad.”

Loren Taylor saw her at the first glance and found that she was different.

She was somehow… prettier.

Although he was puzzled by her appearance, there were outsiders present, so he couldn’t ask whether she had a plastic surgery or not.

“Hm.” Loren Taylor answered as he tried to focus.

He glanced at the lawyer behind her and quietly gave his lawyer a look, indicating him to trim the sails.

Even if Gloria Taylor brought a lawyer, he bet that she couldn’t even find the loopholes in the contract. She had no money. It was impossible for her to afford a good lawyer.
