An hour later, a hot meal arrived at the door.
Ten men set up plates and cutlery around the huge dining table.
Everyone felt accomplished looking at the amazing spread.
Abel sighed.
Following that, Luca also sighed.
He knew what Abel was thinking. The food might look and taste good, but it lacked soul.
What was the soul it lacked?
It lacked the taste of home.
After taking two bites, Abel told Luca, “Go to the market with me
tomorrow.”
“What do you need?” Luca hastily put his cutlery down. “I’ll get someone to buy it for you.”
“I want to go myself,” Abel said. “I’ll buy some food ingredients like vegetables, meat, and eggs. I want to make this place feel like home.”
Luca and the bodyguards were speechless.
A while later, Luca took a deep breath and said, “It’s not going to be easy, Mr. Ryker. In fact, it’ll be harder than managing the Ryker Group.”
Abel put his cutlery down and sighed. “In my five years of training, I’ve gone through hell and
back, but I never learned how to NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Luca and the bodyguards thought about
Everyone had to eat, no matter how
What could be more proper than a home-cooked meal?
Food that was lacking a “soul” would not be as nourishing.
Abel cleared his throat. “I’ve
decided. From tomorrow on, I’ll
learn how to cook.”
Luca and the bodyguards sat up in attention.
Abel said to Luca, “Get a cook from Nimbus Hotel. I want them
to teach me how to cook.”
“Yes, Mr. Ryker.”
Abel waved his hand. “Let’s eat!”
The ten men began to eat their dinner.
After dinner, they rolled up their sleeves and cleaned up the entire place.
After that was free time. Some sat in the living room to watch television. Some went to tend the garden, while others cleaned the bathrooms.
Abel changed into a set of casual
The next morning, Abel and Luca went to Nimbus Hotel,
After observing in the kitchen for some time, Abel chose a chef in his fortie’s.
“You’re the one. Come with me.”
The general manager said, “Mr. Ryker, do you want housekeeping staff? I can choose two for you.”
“Male or female?” Abel asked.
“…All of our housekeeping staff are female,” the general manager replied.
Abel waved his hand. “Forget it!”
The general manager was taken aback.
“Mr. Ryker wants two male housekeeping
“It’s not too much at all! I’ll train some personnel and take them to your mansion in the afternoon!” the general manager said.
Abel left in satisfaction.
After they left Nimbus Hotel, they
went to the market.
The chef instructed Abel on how
to select fresh produce.
Luca and the bodyguards carried a
dozen plastic bags.
Then, they went to the seafood
market to buy seafood.
The group of men caused a scene wherever they went. Everyone thought some big shot was patrolling the market in an attempt to familiarize themselves with the common citizenry.
The middle-aged women were delighted to see Abel. They had never seen such a handsome young man!
“Hey, look at that guy! He’s like a movie star!”
“Wow, I wish he’d date my daughter. I want my grandchildren to be handsome like him!”
Luca and the bodyguards surrounded Abel and protected him from all sides. They managed to extricate themselves from the market unscathed.
Abel smiled when he thought about how Emmeline used to go to the market on her electric bicycle.
He felt a little closer to Emmeline
now
In the kitchen back at home, Abel put on an apron and started his culinary journey under the instruction of the chef.
