Chapter 568: A Painful Price

Chapter 568: A Painful Price

He shifted his attention to the skin scraper he was holding, and only then realized that he didn't even

know how to use a paring knife.

There was no way out, Xavier couldn't afford to lose her a second time, having already lost her once.

-I'll just peel the skin, I don't believe it! -He looked at the knife hanging on the wall and took it out in his

hand. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Learning to peel potatoes like apples is continuous and very temperamental.

-A young master is a young master and can't even do ordinary housework. My son knows more than

you," Mariana looked at Xavier and mocked him coldly and mercilessly.

Xavier's look made her feel very special and amused. It was no wonder she had to say she was out of

her mind, so she couldn't even do something so simple.

-It's just peeling, I usually just eat fast food, why should I take the time to cook when a bucket of instant

noodles can take care of it? -Xavier said smugly, as if it made sense.

He usually has a busy schedule every day because of his studies. He didn't feel like cooking at all, and

besides, it was even more casual when you lived to eat alone.

-And you eat instant noodles, shouldn't a young man like you go to a restaurant for three days?

Mariana washed the ribs and put them in the boiling water.

Her movements were smooth and she looked like she used to cook quite a lot.

-It's not that restaurants don't know that too much is bad for the stomach.

What Xavier said is true, eating out is not only expensive. Money is expensive too, it's just very bad for

your health.

Such words coming out of Xavier's mouth, Mariana found really incredible.

This was a different kind of man than the one she used to know.

-Eating too much is bad for your stomach, so you should also try to eat less instant noodles," Mariana

looked at some of the men and inexplicably felt a little disconsolate inside.

Indeed, the life of the rich may not be enviable everywhere.

In the case of the Xavier family in particular, the father was likely away on business all the time and

there were few opportunities for the family to get together.

-Do you care about me? -Xavier felt a special pang in his heart when he heard Mariana say that.

Mariana looked at the man in disbelief.

-You can learn some of the basics with me if you want to make a good living.

Mariana was willing to take the men and take up cooking.

Anyway, learning one more thing wouldn't be a bad thing for Xavier.

-It would be a real honor to learn from you!

Xavier has been following the woman for so long that he finally sees Mariana accepting herself.

He came to Mariana's side and looked at her hand inside the pan as if she was sifting through

something.....

-Can you see such a layer of foam on this? -Mariana asked the man as she let him look and opened

her mouth to ask him.

Xavier nodded. It was so obvious, and there were so many of them, how could they not see it?

-It's all the dirty stuff inside and it has to be processed before we can do the second cooking," Mariana

patiently explained to the man.

These were the kind of common sense questions Xavier still knew.

Still, he pretended to be an open-minded learner, watching Mariana's every move.

-You don't have much to do at home anyway, so wouldn't it be nice if you would make a little less effort

with me in general and cook a little more for your parents? -Mariana said to Xavier as she did so.

She also doesn't understand what's going on in Xavier's head and how he's so obsessed with chasing

her.

-How is the concept the same? Of course he's a little happier with you," Xavier looked at the spoon

Mariana was holding and spoke from the heart.

But his sincere words were too much for Mariana.

She was a married woman, how could she let another man think about her and get so close?

This Xavier is like an octopus, she can't shake him off.

-Didn't you know she was married? -Mariana put the spoon aside and questioned the other woman

seriously.

Doing it without knowledge may be understandable, but doing it with knowledge is really very

understandable.

-I know," Xavier said weakly.

How could he not know? As soon as he got the news, he immediately bought a plane ticket back to his

country and wanted to find Mariana.

Until then, he had no idea that Mariana had returned to the country and had no trace of her in his hand.

For three whole years, not only did Leopoldo search for Mariana for three years, but Xavier also

searched for her for three years.

But from the moment Mariana decided to leave, three years ago, he made all the arrangements so that

she would not be looked for afterwards.

Therefore, Leopoldo could not find him, nor could Xavier.

-And I have a son.

Looking at the man in front of her, Mariana repeated this fact.

She is a woman with a son and a husband, so it is appropriate for Xavier to stay away from her and

keep her at a distance.

And that person was also Leopoldo, so if Xavier didn't want to get into trouble, he should have left

before it was too late.

-I said I know," Xavier looked puzzled, not taking it seriously at all.

He had the audacity to approach Mariana with total confidence. So, whatever happens, he is able to

accept it.

-I hope you know that," Mariana had to look at the man in front of her as if he were a subordinate.

In fact, Xavier is older than her, both in his previous job in the entertainment industry and in real life.

-Is this one for cutting? -Xavier looked at the woman in front of him and shook the large potato in his

hand.

Mariana thought for a moment and shook her head.

-You can leave it there.

Xavier placed the object in his hand on the cutting board, as Mariana had anticipated. Then his eyes

fell on the woman's hands.

-How are you bleeding?

Xavier's expression immediately tightened as he saw that the woman's finger was injured.

Mariana looked at her hands only after the fact.

But a little scratch is no big deal, it used to happen to her all the time when she was at the hot food

restaurant.

At that moment, Xavier's hand, cold, thin fingers, twisted her wrist.

-You weren't very talkative before, and you seemed to have a relatively delicate mind. How is it that not

only have you changed so much in three years, but you are so careless in what you do?

Xavier looked at the woman's hand, disconsolate and annoyed at the same time.

Mariana was a bit speechless, not knowing what to answer.

Her hand was cold, but did not give the impression of wanting to pull away. But unconsciously, Mariana

withdrew her hand.

-That's it, I'm going to make the soup.

She focused her attention on the ribs and the winter squash, pretending nothing was wrong.
