After Flash Marriage, I Found That My Husband Is A Billionaire

chapter 85 Young man, you don’t have martial ethics

Olivia jumped through the window, took a plate of melon seeds from inside, and watched the two men run all over the valley as she munched on the snack.

"Wow. What a nice view. It turns out that I looked so elegant every time Gerald chased me?" She mused.

Indeed, Xavier did not look hassled while being chased around by Gerald. Instead, he looked elegant as if he wasn't being chased but was actually fooling with Gerald, who pursued him relentlessly.

Olivia felt that Xavier was messing around with Gerald. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Yet, Xavier tried his best to hide his intention well so that Gerald wouldn't know what was on his mind.

Fortunately, Gerald's stamina wasn't that good, so after a brief chase, he panted and shouted, wanting the pursuit to end.

Xavier stopped cooperatively and heard Gerald shouting angrily, "Young man, where are your martial ethics? How can you bully an aged man like me?"

Innocence filled Xavier's face. "No. I don't dare to bully you, master!"

"I'm not your master!" Gerald retorted frustratedly, "So you want to be my apprentice's lover? Heh! I'm hungry. Buy me over by cooking good food for me first!"

Olivia was a slacker and had rarely cooked.

Sometimes, when famished, she would rather eat bread than cook.

In her words, cooking was too much trouble, and it was not worth spending so much time satiating one's hunger.

But then, every time Gerald made delicious food, Olivia would definitely eat it more happily than anyone else.

With that character of hers, if Xavier didn't know how to cook, then Olivia would have to eat junk food daily.

Of course, Xavier didn't know what Gerald was thinking. He just looked at the sky and smiled faintly. "What do you want to eat, master?"

"Soy-sauce-flavored pig's trotters, braised lion's head, spicy shrimps, boiled beef, spicy crayfish..." Gerald listed a few dishes. Some of them were his favorites, but most were Olivia's favorites.

Xavier mused, "He mentioned so many dishes. Is he sure that I can find all these ingredients needed here?"

Xavier didn't know whether to laugh or cry and looked at Olivia for help.

Olivia pointed to the tiny house and said, "Just make do with whatever you can find in the kitchen. You don't have to listen to him."

Gerald immediately grumbled, "You brat! Why are you siding with him even before you marry him?"

Olivia turned her head innocently, glanced at Gerald, and shrugged. "Master, that's where you're mistaken. We're married."

Gerald was shocked.

"What?!" He ran to Olivia and shouted agitatedly, "Married? You, you, you..."

Olivia twitched the corner of her mouth, running away quickly. "I'm going to take Diana for a walk. You must be exhausted after running for a long time. Take a rest now!"

"Y-You brat! Do you want me to die of anger now so that you can inherit the Medicine Valley?"

Gerald's yelling continued for a long time without stopping.

Olivia sighed inwardly, "I must go through this every time I return. This old man must be so bored being here alone that he has gone crazy."

With that thought in mind, Olivia wondered if she should find a companion for Diana.

Then, get Diana to give birth to puppies so Gerald could care for them.

An hour later, Xavier was done preparing a table full of aromatic and delicious-looking dishes.

Gerald looked stern while blowing air from his nostrils. "Young people nowadays like to be fancy and have so many tricks up their sleeves, but does that mean these dishes will taste good?"

After saying that, he picked up his cutlery mockingly and reviewed each dish.

There were five or six dishes and one soup, but none earned a positive review from him.

Xavier was not annoyed by Gerald's remark. He quietly took off the apron and filled a bowl of soup for Olivia and Gerald. Then, he smiled at Gerald.

"I don't know what's your preferences taste-wise, master. So, other than the soup, everything else is heavily flavored. Why don't you drink some soup first, master?"

Gerald was displeased by Xavier calling him 'master.'

He wanted to unleash his frustration, but the fragrant scent of the soup kept wafting into his nostrils.

And the smell was tempting to him.

He mused, "Xavier must have put a lot of spices into this soup to make it smell so good."

Just like when Olivia was refining medicine, she thought the medicine tasted too unpleasant to swallow, so she made some fruit-flavored pills. That didn't change the fact that they were medicine, though, and the inner layer still tasted bitter, but they were wrapped in a layer of fruity flavor to deceive the public.

They were impressive-looking but useless!

The food cooked by Xavier must be inversely proportional to its mouthwatering appearance.

Gerald didn't believe the tall, handsome, noble-looking Xavier could cook delicious food!

He raised his chin, looking unappreciative of Xavier's efforts.

Olivia had long been accustomed to Gerald's behavior. She picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. Then, her eyes lit up. She gulped down more of the soup without speaking.

After drinking more than half a bowl of the soup, she looked at Xavier in surprise. "I knew that the food made with the ingredients from the Medicine Valley would be more delicious than the ones outside. With your cooking skills, Mr. Si, you can open a restaurant if you quit your job as a CEO."

Others might not be happy when they hear Olivia's compliment.

After all, she tried convincing a powerful CEO to become a cook.

But Xavier showed a charming and bright smile. "Mrs. Si, this is a good idea. With your words, I won't have to worry about starving you in the future."

Gerald rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Come on, you guys. Stop flirting before me. Hahaha! Ollie thinks everything is delicious. She can't distinguish between what is nice and what is not!"

Olivia was indignant. She raised her brow and smiled. "You know what does the saying 'A filthy mouth cannot utter decent words?' You're the definition of it. Let me tell you, I have traveled to so many places in the past few years, not to mention how much delicious food I have eaten, so I'm a picky eater now, okay?"

After finishing her words, Olivia filled her bowl with soup again. While drinking the soup, she ate the food on the table and said to Xavier, "When we retire, why don't we come and stay here in the Medicine Valley? We can build a new house opposite this ramshackle hut. Then, I get to eat these delicious dishes every day!"

"Of course." Xavier curled his lips and smiled coquettishly. "As long as Mrs. Si doesn't dislike it, I will happily cook for you for the rest of my life."

Olivia frowned slightly. It seemed that she had said something wrong.

She mused, "His answer…"

By then, Gerald was unable to resist the aroma that filled the room anymore. He picked up a piece of meat with his cutlery and threw it into his mouth. He said arrogantly, "I can see through both of your tricks. You just want me to eat the dishes, right? You don't have to go to that extent. Ah…”

"Since you want me to try it so much, I'll take one bite. Don't expect me to take another bite if it's not good."

After saying that, he began to chew on his food casually.

However, as soon as he swallowed the meat, Gerald froze.

He mused, "The taste… Is this my illusion? How it is possible that Xavier…"

Unable to believe what he had just tasted, Gerald quickly picked up another piece of the meat from the same dish and threw it into his mouth. Then, at the same speed, he tried all the dishes on the table and finally drank a big mouthful of the soup.

"Why? Did the cat get your tongue?" Olivia looked at the dumbfounded Gerald with amusement and teased, "I told you it tasted good, and you didn't believe me. Aren't you embarrassed now?"

Gerald's expression changed as he tampered down his urge to pick up his cutlery again. "I-I'm just hungry! It's not that these dishes were delectable!"

As he spoke, he grabbed more food and wolfed them down. "I'm starving to death. Haiz… I can't say no to these dishes even if they taste horrible…"

Olivia and Xavier both didn't know how to respond.
