Chapter 107: Feelings
Another morning dawned, and Rain was up early, her mind set on preparing breakfast. She found herself surprisingly enjoying cooking for Alexander and her father-in-law, a sharp contrast to her past self. Today was special. Alexander had told her last night that he’d be staying home to rest, and she wanted to make sure everything was perfect.
However, Rain couldn’t shake the slight worry gnawing at her. Clifford and Sanya were visiting for lunch, and the tension between Clifford and Alexander was something she didn’t want escalating in front of her father-in-law. Her face turned serious at the thought, particularly because she needed a heart-to-heart with Sanya as well.
"It’s been two weeks and two days now..." she murmured, thinking back to the day she accidentally discovered their marriage. Time had flown by, and with every passing day, her feelings for Alexander seemed to grow. At first, she had just found him attractive—now, it was something deeper. She wasn’t sure what falling in love felt like exactly, but whatever this was, it felt close.
Taking a deep breath, she studied her reflection in the mirror, smoothing her hair and giving herself one last look. A blush crept onto her cheeks, and she patted them gently, giggling at herself. "I feel like I’m going crazy," she mused with a smile, excited at the thought of seeing Alexander in the morning, even though they’d spent last night together.
Satisfied with her appearance, Rain headed to the kitchen.
"Good morning, Miss Rain," Chef Philip greeted her as she entered. "What’s on the menu for breakfast today?"
"Another one of Alexander’s favorites!" she responded cheerfully. Today, she decided on spinach mushroom scrambled eggs, avocado soup, French toast, and sausages, simple yet satisfying dishes.
"Are you planning on replacing me as the chef?" Philip teased, watching as she efficiently moved about the kitchen, not letting him do much except offer occasional tips.
Rain laughed. "Don’t worry, Chef. The kitchen is yours during the weekdays. I’ll be too busy once I go back to work. But on weekends, I’m borrowing it!" she said with a grin.
