[Inside the car]
"I want to show you sothing."
"What is it?" Rachael was very curious.
"I'll show you later."
"But I wanna know now." She grabbed his sleeves and pouted. She wanted to know.
Andrew's heart lted. Suppressing the strong urge to pinch her lips, he tried to coax her. "It's not sothing big but I think you'll like it. Let's go eat sothing first and then I'll show you, okay?" It was already past lunchti and both of them hadn't eaten anything since morning.
This is when Andrew suddenly rembered Rachael telling him she had woken up early to make breakfast for them.
"Didn't you make breakfast for us?" When she nodded, he said, "Alright, let's go. I'll eat that too."
"But it's cold already."
"Doesn't matter." There was no way he would let the breakfast she made for him for the first ti after their marriage go to waste. He unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car.

[Outside]
Yuri and Samuel, who were still arguing, quickly beca silent and greeted him. "Boss—"
Andrew gestured them to stay silent when he saw Rachael step out of the car.
"Madam," Both of them greeted her together.
Rachael smiled and greeted them back.
"Rach, can you reheat breakfast for ?" He was purposely sending her away. Seeing Yuri and Samuel together, it wasn't hard for him to guess that they had sothing important to discuss.
She nodded. "Okay, don't take too long."
After she left, Andrew looked at them. "What is it?"
"We have been continuously receiving parcels from Russia since yesterday. It seems like they are all wedding and congratulatory gifts."
"Discard them all."
Yuri and Samuel widened their eyes in shock. Since they were gifts sent by Andrew's partners and other connections, there was no way they were ordinary gifts.
"But boss, all of them are sent by your partners and close connections."
Without saying anything, Andrew took out his phone and called Owen.
"Hello—"
The hoarseness and sleepiness in Owen's voice made him frown. "Are you still sleeping?"
"Bro it's four in the morning," he snapped.
"Why are you sending those gifts here?" Andrew had just moved countries and since his current address was very well concealed, it wasn't possible for everyone back in Russia to find out his new address.
"That is not even 10% of the gifts the office here is receiving for you. I am having it thoroughly checked before sending it to you." Pausing for a while, Owen snapped, "Do you have any idea how troubleso it is? I am doing such a great thing and look at you being grumpy and making grumpy early in the morning."
Without waiting for his reply, he added, "Give them to Rachael, do you have any idea how much won love gifts? She will be happy. And since it's a wedding gift, I am sure almost everything is sothing Rachael can use. I'll send more in the next few days."
"Okay then send them fast."
"You also received many f*ucking expensive wines, scotch and all kinds of alcohol," Owen scoffed. "I am keeping them all."
"Don't touch the wine, bring it when you co. Rachael likes wine."
"Yeah okay, I don't like wine anyway." Keeping quiet for a while, Owen said, "Anyway, I was about to call you later—"
"What happened?"
"You rejected the gift the old man sent you, so he had it delivered in the office with a few more things." Owen couldn't help but scoff while talking about Sion, their grandfather. "He is really getting more sly as he is growing old."
When Andrew did not say anything, he added, "I opened it. It's a necklace and I think it belongs to your mom."
Andrew did not say anything for a long ti and Owen stayed silent too. He knew how sensitive Andrew was when it ca to things related to either of his parents.
"Bring it over when you co." Without waiting for his reply, Andrew hung up the call.
He then instructed Yuri and Samuel to bring the gifts inside.

[Kitchen]
When Andrew entered the kitchen, Rachael was washing the vegetables.
"I will make noodles, is that okay?"
He nodded. "Make whatever you want to. I'll eat everything." He looked around for the food she had prepared in the morning.
"Where is it?"
"On the counter. I reheated only a small portion for you to taste. If you eat more, you won't be able to eat lunch."
"Are you underestimating my appetite?" He gently pinched her arm. "My appetite is very big. I can eat you too."
Rachael: " "
Her hands washing the vegetables froze and she glared at him.
"I was just giving an example of how big my appetite is, why are you letting your thoughts run wild?" He shrugged.
Rolling her eyes, she pushed him away using her elbow. "Take the food and go outside, don't distract ."
"Is my handso face distracting you from washing the vegetables properly?" He sighed and took a step back. "It's really very difficult when you are handso."
Rachael: " "
Walking towards the counter, he picked up the bowl and started eating it.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Without giving him an opportunity to say anything, she added, "I made so porridge, a simple one."
"It's very nice—" Shoving another spoonful inside his mouth, he savoured the flavor. It was simple but had a very savoury taste.
"I'll make sothing else tomorrow morning."
"I'll make you breakfast tomorrow," he remarked.
"You know?" She asked with a surprise in her face.
"There is nothing your husband doesn't know." Savouring the last bite, he stated, "He is multi-talented."
"Do Justin and Owen know how to cook as well?"
"They do but I am the best."
Taking the empty bowl from his hand, she placed it in the basin. "Why do I feel like you are becoming more and more shaless everyday? No wait—every hour."
"I am not shaless, I am just stating the facts. The truth."
