Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 390

CHaran’s eyes stared at Shreya intently.

Her face was actually crunched down with a frown… but for some reason, it looked cute on her. Her lips were being abused by her teeth as she sulked away still.

Charan prepped everything for dinner and simmered them and turned towards her. He had long called his office to inform them that he wouldn’t be coming back anymore. And Shreya was still the same… looked extremely upset as if the world had turned its back on her.

He couldn’t help chuckle at it. It was already an hour from then and there was no change in her mood no matter how much he said that it was okay.

Charan felt funny seeing her like this on one side… after all, she looked like a kid who dropped his candy on the floor.

But on the other hand, he felt complicated. Because he knew her resentment was not even because she couldn’t do it but mainly because she couldn’t do it ‘for him”. She was mainly upset that she had somehow ruined his birthday surprise… a birthday he himself had completely forgotten about.

Every time he thinks he knows her… every time he thinks he knows the depth of her feelings for him, she proves him wrong. It still shocks him how pure and passionate her feelings were for him…

And Shreya always showed it in the most simplest and straightforward way. She does not make a fuss about it. She just does things quietly and stands back…

He could already guess how much she must have practiced cooking in the past week if she was confident enough to actually attempt it on her own. Because, since the time they have known, Shreya never dared to cook for herself let alone for Charan. She had offered to do dishes and other things but not cooking… never cooking, especially not something that involves anything more than popping bread into a toaster.

So, he can already guess how much effort she must have put into it if she had actually attempted to cook for him on his birthday.

This person… the Shreya Srivastav. She was someone who was pretty much envied by almost every single person in the country. She was looked up to and admired by everyone. And god only knows how many people will come and do to her bidding if she called for.

He did not even dare to quantify how much her time was valued.

And such a person had spent so much time just so she can make him a meal on his birthday!!!!

Somebody tell him how was he supposed to digest something like that without feeling overwhelmed.

Charan’s thumb traced over her face with his eyes going dark.

Shreya on the other hand was actually beating herself up at that moment. She knew she had no talent for cooking but she still had to choose that one thing to do… someone tell her,  how can she be so stupid?

So, both of them had their dinner deep in thoughts. Shreya bȧrėly ate. But Charan did not force her. Once both of them were done, Charan just left everything in the sink and did not bother with the clean-up.

He found Shreya sitting on his bed. As soon as he came in, he heard her mumbled under her breath, “I am not very competent as a girlfriend, am I?”

Shreya said this with a self-deprecating tone.

Charan was taken aback listening to it. Shreya was the most self-assured person he had ever seen. She knew what she was and she was never humble about it.

But what he did not know was that all this time when she was hurt and resting, Shreya had done a lot of thinking about the future.

Till she was not done with her revenge, she did not have the energy for thinking about all this… she never allowed herself to because her future was hung on delicate balance… she did not want to give herself hope and later be disappointed. But now that everything was done, she knew she had the freedom to think about her future… and she was looking forward to a laid back peaceful life going forward.

She wanted to settle down… she did not want to involve in high-intensity activities anymore. She wanted to just go to work and come back home for a leisure night.

She hadn’t experienced something domestic like that for a long time…

She had long started learning other things but she was far from being proficient in anything till now. But that was all okay… the key part was obviously cooking…

Making food and eating together is what makes a family warm. She knows that… and she missed that warmth for a long time now. So, she wanted to nail it… even when she knew she was going to be disastrous, she thought she could at least be plausible.

But she never thought she would fail in it so miserably.

Even though Shreya worked really hard when the need arises… she was actually pretty lazy and she had never had to make too much effort into learning anything to this point in her life. Things came easily to her. So, she always thought that she did not know anything about cooking and other stuff because she never bothered to learn them and that as long as she puts the effort, she can nail them as she always does. So, it never crossed her mind that she might lack talent until that moment. But knowing this made her feel even more depressed.

Because in a household like Charan’s, the only way to share his burden is by doing simpler things like this. Her grandiose and fame meant nothing to him… Her professional achievement does not help in daily routines.

So, she really couldn’t help but feel like a failure. After a year of effort, she still suċkėd being homely.. She really was raised as a spoilt brat after all.
