Chapter 535: Wedding jitters
He frowned when he recognized the digits. Why was his mother contacting Cheng Yu? The two women had only met a few times and from their stiff interaction, he knew that they didn’t hit it off. In the entire family, Cheng Yu only got along with his sister Natalie. The rest seemed to dislike her for some strange reason and she was not comfortable around them either. So it made no sense for them to contact each other and send each other private messages. He thought back to her expression when he walked in.
He couldn’t help questioning her reason. Was she really upset because she had suddenly thought about hers and Cheng Ying’s past? Was it because of another reason and was that reason related to his mother?
Concluding that it must be because his mother had been contacting her and probably not telling her anything that was pleasant, he took out his phone. He was just about to give her a call when Cheng Yu returned.
"I just checked the fridge. I was hoping that I had enough ingredients to cook instead of ordering food. Unfortunately, it looks like we have to order after all." She smiled as she teased him.
It was not that he disliked food from restaurants, but he preferred her home cooked food even though she was not nearly as good in the kitchen as the chefs from those restaurants.
He looked gloomy.
She interpreted it as disappointment. Sitting on his lap, she tousled his hair. "Don’t worry. We can go grocery shopping later. I will definitely cook you a sumptuous dinner."
Usually, he would tell her that it didn’t matter whether she cooked, ordered food or shoved him into the kitchen to cook unrecognizable meals for himself. As long as he ate it beside her, it would be delicious. Realizing that he didn’t say it or anything along the lines, she lowered her head to check on him.
"Are you alright, honey? What’s wrong?"
