Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 12: Her Special Soup

Sharon watched as Kelley hurried to fetch the first aid kit. She glanced at Leonard's dark face and

swallowed nervously.

Leonard made Sharon sit on the sofa before turning around to look at Kelley.

Kelley quickly walked over with the first aid kit.

She opened it and handed it to Leonard.

Leonard took out a cotton swab and gently pressed it onto Sharon's wound.

Sharon and Kelly exchanged glances, but both did not dare to speak.

It was only a small wound, but Leonard still treated it with utmost care.

He cleaned the wound and put on some ointment before covering it with a band-aid.

Once Leonard was done, Kelly put everything back into place and carried it out of the living room.

Once Kelly was out of sight, Sharon turned to Leonard, who was brooding, pouted, and whispered,

"Master Leonard, I'm fine."

"I forbid you to enter the kitchen from now on!" Leonard looked at her seriously and commanded

sharply.

The corners of Sharon's mouth quivered. "But... I wanted to make you some soup."

"Soup mixed with your blood?" Leonard snorted.

Now, that was awkward!

Sharon was embarrassed, her voice becoming smaller. "It-It's because it's my first time making it! It

won't happen again next time."

Leonard frowned deeply, his lips pressed into a thin line as he silently glowered at Sharon.

The hairs on Sharon's neck stood up. She gave in and said, "Okay, okay! I won't go in anymore,

alright?"

Sharon feared him the most whenever he gave her that look.

She could accept him scolding her or glaring at her, but she couldn't stand it when he gave her that icy

look and said nothing.

His face softened after hearing her give him her word, and he gently looked at her bandaged finger.

"Does it hurt?"

Sharon shook her head immediately. She would not dare to tell him even if she did feel pain!

Leonard glanced at her and tightened his mouth.

......

At the dining room, Kelly brought out the soup Sharon had been preparing.

Leonard took one look at it and froze.

"What... concoction is this? What did she even put?" he thought to himself.

...

The ingredients seemed to be nutritious. In fact, it was extremely nutritious!

Sharon had no idea what it meant. She had put in all the expensive ingredients she could find because,

to her, expensive ingredients meant healthy ingredients, and it was the only way she could show

Leonard how sincere she really was.

However, Kelley and Leonard understood what the soup was.

So, when Kelley placed the soup on the table, she deliberately peeked at Leonard.

Leonard was stoic and expressionless as ever, so Kelly couldn't tell what he was thinking. With a small

smirk, she turned around and left.

...

As soon as Kelly was gone, Sharon quickly got up and poured some of the soup into a small bowl for

Leonard. "Master Leonard, I may not have made this myself, but I washed all the ingredients. It's my

first time making something for you, so please enjoy it."

...

Leonard's face was unreadable, but his expression when he accepted the bowl from Sharon was calm.

Sharon watched as he took the bowl and returned to her seat with a smile. Then, she watched him with

eager eyes.

Leonard's brow furrowed, and he took a sip. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

He moved to lower the bowl but saw Sharon's hopeful gaze.

Leonard sighed internally. He didn't want to disappoint her, so he raised his head and emptied the

bowl.

Satisfied, Sharon finally picked up her fork and started eating.

Leonard parted his lips slightly and let out a sigh of relief.

The sky outside the window was dark by the time they finished dinner.

......

Sunlight filtered into the room through the window. Leonard opened his eyes and subconsciously

looked at the space next to him. It was empty.

It meant that last night had only been a dream.

Leonard's eyebrows were tight as he sat up and lifted the covers.

When his eyes swept over the traces left on his trousers, he closed his eyes silently.

......

Leonard took a shower, then went to his closet to change his clothes.

When he came out, he saw Sharon sitting on his bed obediently, wearing her uniform.

A hint of gentleness flashed across Leonard's eyes.

"Master Leonard." Sharon smiled and looked at Leonard.

Leonard hummed in acknowledgement and waved to her.

Sharon stood up. She walked toward him and hugged his arm.

Leonard patted her head. "I thought you didn't have school today, so why are you in your uniform?"

Today was the day of the Autumn field trip. Since Leonard had forbidden her from going, there was no

need for her to go to school.

Sharon stiffened but caught herself, calming down. She quickly replied, "Students who aren't attending

the trip are required to go to school for self-studying. "

"Alright." Leonard nodded.

"Alright? That's it?" Sharon wondered surprisedly.
