A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1426 Dumplings For Winter Solstice

Suddenly, the phone outside the house rang.

Bonnie quickly walked over and picked it up.

"I'm coming back to the manor tonight,"

a cold voice murmured from the other end of the line as soon as she answered. She didn't get the chance to answer because the person on the other end immediately hung up.

"What are you talking about? That sounds so sketchy,"

Bonnie muttered in complaint to herself, the phone still placed near her ear. She walked back to the study to clean the glass shards on the floor. However, she was still thinking about the phone call. 'Did he say he was coming back today?'

"Ouch! That hurts," Bonnie yelped when she stepped on a shard of glass by accident. She immediately washed the wound, removed the glass shard using a pair of tweezers, and then disinfected it with alcohol.

Once she finished bandaging her wound, she smiled at it and said, "I'm a really good nurse."

Then, she carefully cleaned the remaining pieces. She couldn't risk anyone getting hurt again from the glass fragments.

After she finished cleaning up, Bonnie made her way to the kitchen to cook. Even though she hadn't clearly heard what Darren had said, she was confident that the phone call had meant that he would come back.

"Steamed bass, vermicelli with fried meat, crucian carp soup, and mapo tofu… Ah, yes, everything is ready!" Bonnie listed out the dishes as she placed them on the table one after another.

"Hmm, it smells really great. Danny has no idea how good I am at cooking at all," Bonnie said, complimenting herself. She smiled as she looked at the dishes set on the table.

Darren's trip back to the manor didn't take long and he soon found himself standing in front of the door. His nose immediately smelled the food and he couldn't help but let out a light chuckle at the thought of the girl preparing a meal for him.

Upon hearing the noise outside, Bonnie went out to greet Darren. With a smile, she said, "Wow, Danny, you're finally back! You've been so busy."

"If I had any idea that you would cook, I would have ordered takeout before coming here," Darren teased with a sly smile on his face.

Bonnie huffed at his teasing remarks and angrily walked back into the house.
