Chapter 303: Chapter 303
Anna Thornton woke up, recalling yesterday’s events, and couldn’t help but regret it deeply.
However, Conrad Sterling was clearly in a good mood and got up early to make breakfast himself.
Conrad and Anna were polar opposites; President Sterling was exceptionally gifted in cooking. When he did cook, he would overshadow the top chefs hired at the Sterling Residence.
It’s a pity that President Sterling would only cook personally when he was in a good mood and had some spare time. Otherwise, those so-called chefs might as well prepare for unemployment.
The food was on the table, but Anna still hadn’t gotten up.
The man returned to the bedroom and saw the woman sleeping soundly. He had a clear idea: "Are you going to pretend that last night was just because you were drunk and I took advantage of you?" Googlᴇ search NoveIFire.net
That was indeed what Anna thought, and she planned to settle accounts with Conrad Sterling with her expression.
Though she did drink last night, she wasn’t so drunk that she lost consciousness completely.
Both Anna and Conrad were well aware of this.
Anna had no idea what got into her last night, impulsively stirring up trouble with him.
Anna, who was usually bold and decisive, was at a loss on how to act.
Forget it, she couldn’t keep up the act. She might as well stick her neck out and say to Conrad Sterling, "I won’t hold it against you for last night, but there won’t be a next time!"
She might let it go, but Conrad Sterling wasn’t about to let Anna brush it off so easily, "No next time? That’s not what you said last night!"
"What did I say?" Anna feigned amnesia.
Hold on! Anna! Don’t give him any satisfaction!
Otherwise, what would happen?
The sun outside seemed to have been messed around with them.
The weather suddenly turned gloomy, and when Anna got up, she felt quite cold. She casually draped a long coat of Conrad Sterling’s over herself.
The man went to reheat the cooled breakfast, "Put on pants; if you’re not careful with keeping your body warm, you might as well your legs to someone in need!"
"Sure, sure, I’ll them," Anna deliberately argued, and complained, "They’re about to turn sore anyway!"
"Then them to me, I’ll tie them with a belt and hang them on my waist wherever I go."
"Conrad Sterling, you shameless jerk!"
"You wish! I wouldn’t let you have the advantage!"
"By the way, Conrad Sterling, there’s something I remembered to ask you!"
After getting dressed, Anna wasn’t in a rush to eat. She took advantage of being in this room to open the cabinet door in the storage room.
"How about you explain why dresses I’ve worn are here?"
Conrad Sterling knew she would discover it sooner or later.
The man answered with a guilty smile, "Just something I casually picked up at an auction."
"Oh? Casually picked up? I wasn’t a celebrity back then; worn dresses have neither collector’s value nor appreciation potential. What’s the point of having them here to gather dust? Why would President Sterling make such a losing deal?"
Conrad Sterling: "Let’s eat first! Aren’t you hungry?"
"Alright, I’ll eat first. You better come up with an answer while eating."
Anna was experiencing Conrad Sterling’s cooking skills for the first time, and seeing a table full of sumptuous dishes, she suddenly understood why Conrad Sterling had such high standards for food.
Because he could do it himself!
"Is breakfast always this good?" Anna saw chicken and fish, and even crab.
"This is breakfast and lunch combined, helping you replenish your body so that your legs won’t complain about being tired after exerting themselves a bit."
Listening to his words, Anna couldn’t help but glare at Conrad Sterling.
Stop him from continuing this conversation; it was affecting her appetite.
But after tasting a piece of steamed fish, Anna couldn’t help but pat the table in praise, "Wow, I didn’t know you cooked so well! It’s a pity Pop and Lola never tasted such a hand."
"They have seven top chefs preparing various nutritious kids’ meals every day. I can’t spend lots of time cooking daily either."
President Sterling’s time was calculated by the second.
Anna could already guess that Conrad Sterling’s next sentence would definitely show off his ability to make money.
The hands playing stocks couldn’t waste time in the kitchen, so she better be satisfied after this meal.
However, she didn’t expect Conrad’s next words: "If you like it, I’ll try to cook for you whenever I have time."
Hmm? Could these words really come from Conrad Sterling’s mouth?
Actually, from the day they got their marriage certificate, Conrad had plans to live well with Anna.
If Anna would reminisce a little, she’d know that President Sterling had always been accommodating to her requests.
It was just because Anna was cold, and believed the child was gone, which she couldn’t let go of...
In fact, it was just Anna unwilling to accept Conrad.
But now Holly Sutton was dead, and revenge had been exacted.
Conrad Sterling helped her regain the Thornton Family’s company and even took a hit for her.
With all the mixed up grievances and entanglements, it was hard to say who owed whom.
Therefore, Anna couldn’t help but ask clearly, "Conrad Sterling, did you like me from the start?"
