Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Gabriella sat in the living room, eating nuts and watching television.

When she caught the fragrant smell of food, she found herself drawn toward the kitchen as she went inside to take a look.

She watched as Samantha busied herself in front of a stove while wearing an apron. She looked like such a virtuous homemaker. Gabriella kept thinking about how her home would be filled with warmth if Matthew married Samantha. Lucy was nothing like that.

Matthew had argued with Gabriella quite a number of times over Lucy. She did not like Lucy at all and wanted her to cut ties with the Leons.

Lucy's existence was nothing but a burden while the Shelbys were a family that was able to solidify Leon Corporation as the top company for a long time. No one would ever dare challenge their position at the top.

“It's been hard on you, Samantha.”

This could be just a casual remark from Gabriella, but to Samantha, it sounded like she was completely on Samantha's side.

There were two pieces of hot steak sizzling in the pan and they smelled absolutely delicious. Even an elegant woman like Gabriella could not help wanting to taste a piece.

Gabriella was amazed. “You can really cook!"

Samantha packed the steak while saying to Gabriella, "I would never lie to you about something like this, Mrs. Leon. I'm not Lucy!"

It sounded sweet to Gabriella.

Samantha was right. She was nothing like Lucy. Lucy had tricked her son. Matthew was blinded by her and he needed another woman to tear off the fake mask Lucy was wearing and reveal who she really was to Matthew in order for him to give up on her.

Gabriella's mood got better at the thought of Samantha being the woman to do that.

It was not long before Samantha was done. She had finished preparing the steak, pasta, and mushroom soup.

These three dishes were Samantha's favorite food while studying overseas.

They were not difficult to prepare, and she got good at cooking them after making them often.

Samantha's cooking was really bad

at the beginning, and she could not eat it. However, when she got better at controlling the heat, the steak she made was no longer tough, the mushroom soup was no longer too salty, and the pasta was no longer overcooked.

"I'm done, Mrs. Leon. Let's go! The steak won't taste as great once it gets cold."

"You're right." Gabriella immediately went to the door to put on her shoes. “Let's leave right away, Samantha. We can't let that horrible woman, Lucy, take all the credit!"

They left one after the other.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, Lucy was about done with her home-cooked food as well.

She had to depend on herself when she had nothing to eat back then. She got better at cooking and her best dishes were meatloaf,

casserole, and salad. Those wol

ordinary dishes but were delicious when done well.

Lucy did not know the right amount of spices and temperature to cook these dishes in the beginning. She had ended up making them too salty and she could only gulp water down after first tasting them.

However, once she got the gist of it, she managed to whip up a mean meal.

Lucy looked up. It was almost 12:30 pm. She immediately got the driver to take her to Matthew's office.
