The Ceos Hidden Gem - Chapter 36 Favourite Food

She then prepared dal to accompany the rice,she later put them in a serving bowl.Ritah came and tested the food,it was not to her liking. “Is this all you were taught by your parents? this food is not fit for human consumption,you hurriedly married my son and you have no idea what is good for his health,how much money do you want so that you can leave him to marry a girl of his status?”

“Madam, with due respect,I did not marry Jeremy for his money,we got married because of the feelings we have for each other and about the food ,throughout my life have been raised in slums,meaning the standard of food there is different from the food here so it’s a matter of time and I will catch up with what he likes and what he detests.”

“Ridiculous,I didn’t know you are from slums,my goodness,what did my son see in you?

“I saw,what no any other human being has ever seen with a naked eye mother.” Jeremy intervened.They were all astonished,they turned in unison and stared at Jeremy. “Mother,Henrietta is the woman I love and will spend the rest of my life with her,it could be pleasing if you start getting a long well.” He said this while holding Henrietta at her shoulders.

“I’m not opposed to you marrying her but,did you ask your self why she married you in a fraction of a second if not for money,why was she more than eager to tie a knot with you without blessings of us parents?” She continued talking while looking at Henrietta angrily.Jeremy intervened immediately.

“I’m the one who was in a hurry to marry her and not the other way round,you talk as if your son is a moron.I did so much to convince this gem here to accept my hand in marriage and today you ,my mother you are trying to throw all my efforts into abyss.

“This damsel standing before you means a lot to me ,minus her I will not be who I’m supposed to be in future,all you are supposed to do is to pamper her endlessly or you will blame your stubbornness in future,dad had already talked to you she is one of us now ,she is a member of this legend family ,groom her and teach her all she needs to know about our social circle.”

“Son,have you started taking sides now,you got married in less than a month and have started defending her.” She took the serving bowl with rice and dal, opened ,while showing it to Jeremy. “Son, look what this lady has prepared for you,you hate this kind of meal,how can she not even know what the husband likes,she knew she was coming here and this was her first visit after marriage,she could have made an effort to prepare your favourite food.” Let me tell you,for your information,before I got married to your father,I learnt to cook all his favourite meals,learnt all his hobbies and went as far as studying business management in order to help him in future if he got stuck.”
