Ariana watched Holden’s retreating form until he vanished from sight.

Gradually, the smile on her face faded, replaced by a somber expression.

In the kitchen.

More than a dozen chefs and assistants, dressed in immaculate uniforms and standing in formation, held their breath, watching Holden prepare the red wine and sirloin stew.

The head chef appeared the most anxious.

He wanted to assist Holden but lacked the courage.

Holden had said he would handle it alone, and that anyone who intervened would face severe consequences.

The head chef observed the contents of the pot, thinking that Holden also had shortcomings, particularly in culinary skills.

Suddenly, a noise emanated from the pan.

Following the recipe, Holden intended to add a spoonful of spices but mistakenly poured in a large scoop of sugar.

Witnessing this, the head chef’s heart skipped a beat, and he let out a startled gasp.

As expected, the sirloin and red wine stew was ruined once more.

“Mr.

Fredrick… Actually, to properly make the sirloin and red wine stew, you should-” the head chef began, unable to stay silent.

He couldn’t bear to see the ingredients destroyed again.

However, he was met with Holden’s fierce gaze, causing him to retreat in fear.

“Are you trying to teach me how to do things?” Holden asked sternly.

“No, no, no.

I wouldn’t dare,” the chef hastily replied, waving his hand, and retreated to the sidelines.

Holden scoffed and turned his attention back to the pan.

The bottom of the pan had been burned.

Clicking his tongue in frustration, Holden discarded the pan and accepted a new one handed to him by others, resuming his cooking.

He repeated this process three times before finally achieving success on the fourth attempt.

Amidst the smoke, all the chefs applauded and praised Holden.

Luckily, the fourth try was a success; otherwise, the kitchen’s foul air might have poisoned them to death sooner or later.

Ignoring their cheers and compliments, Holden focused on the dish he had just cooked.

He felt immense pride, eager to serve the dish to Ariana.

Today, he realized how fulfilling it was to cook for his beloved.

He resolved to cook for Ariana more often in the future.

“Mr.

Fredrick, would you care to serve Miss Edwards some dessert as well?” the head chef asked, gathering his courage.

“She’s quite fond of red velvet cupcakes, and we’ve prepared some in the kitchen today.

I believe she’ll appreciate it.

Having served in the Fredrick family for many years, the head chef had previously worked under Shawn and had a good sense of Ariana’s preferences.

Upon hearing this, Holden gave the chef a nod.

“Okay.

If Ariana enjoys the cake, you can get a bonus from Shawn.
