Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 807 Eleanor Ledger Eleanorâs question was purely out of curiosity. Suspicion stirred within everyone when Eleanor kept asking and mentioning Iron since arriving at Elrodâs residence. That said, none expressed their bafflement.
Crayson, on the other hand, answered with a chuckle, âIron is a Bloomstead chef that I hired specially to take care of Miss Veronicaâs diet.â
âIs that so? Then he must be an amazing chef.â Eleanor smiled, then requested, âIâve heard so much about Destorian food and culture but never had the chance to visit. I wonder if we have the privilege to try Destorian food?â
Dominik frowned subtly but said nothing as he maintained his usual composure. Liam, on the other hand, nodded in agreement. âIâve also heard all sorts of praises about Destorian food. Miss Murphy, seeing that weâre all friends here, can we stay for lunch?â
âNo way!â Mateo turned them down mercilessly as he couldnât stand the Ledgers.
âYou guys showed up too suddenly, so Iâm afraid we only have food for so many.â Veronica politely turned them down after realizing Eleanorâs intentions toward Matthew.
Besides, Veronica already felt terrible when Matthew enslaved himself as their private chef, and the guilt gave her immense stress.
She already couldnât do anything but feel bad for Matthew, so how could she bear to let him cook for others?! Hell, he wasnât really a chef!
âThatâs easy. Iâll call and have them deliver some ingredients over.â Eleanor played dumb, rendering Veronica speechless.
Must I really spell it out for you?
âYouââ Just as Mateo wanted to speak up, Crayson shot a piercing gaze at him, and the young man immediately shut up.
Meanwhile, Matthew came back into the house with a handful of coriander. Many flowers and plants had been planted in the yard, including coriander, providing the kitchen some convenience.
âHey, Iron.â Eleanor got up from the couch and waved at Matthew while approaching him. âMiss Murphy told me your cooking is as amazing as a state banquet chef. Can we join you guys for lunch? Iâve always really wanted to try Destorian cuisine. You wonât say no, right?â
âItâs my honor to receive your recognition, Your Highness,â monotoned Matthew.
âHaha, youâre being too modest.â Eleanor beamed. âI canât possibly freeload either. How about I follow you into the kitchen and learn a thing or two from you?â
âI donât think thatâs a good idea, Princess Eleanor.â Crayson stopped her, thinking itâd be a disaster if she followed him to the kitchen.
Though Dominik felt humiliated and also thought Eleanor wasnât behaving like herself, he still maintained a calm composure for prideâs sake. âJust let her be, Master Waylen. Eleanor has always been inquisitive since she was a kid. Sorry for troubling you.â
Of course, Crayson couldnât say anything more when Dominik had put it that way. âHahaha,â he guffawed obsequiously. âIâve long heard Princess Eleanor is erudite and knows a thing or two about many subjects. Now that Iâm seeing it for myself, I must admit she is studious. Iâm very impressed.â
Veronica didnât know how much genuineness was in Craysonâs flattery, but when she saw the elder glancing shrewdly at Eleanor, she knew Crayson had his guard against Eleanor.
âYouâre too kind, Master Waylen. Eleanor isnât as impressive as you put it.â Dominik smiled amiably.
The Ledger siblings each had unique personalities. Dominik was steady, wise, and gentle. Eleanor might look quirky and harmless, but she was actually cunning and artful. Liam, on the other hand, was all muscles and no brain. He wore his heart on his sleeve.
