Chapter 171
Matthew quickly used a large spoon to scoop up the foam on the soup. Unexpectedly, more and more foam was scooped up. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of it. It even flowed down the stove. It was not until Valerie rushed over to turn off the gas and asked Matthew to pour cold water into the pot that they heard a puff. The overflowing of the soup finally stopped.
However, the overflowing soup had already messed up the entire glass counter top. Valerie was about to wipe it with a rag when Matthew picked up the rag first.
He said, Til do it.”
Valerie answered. “Okay”
Valerie looked at him and thought that he should be quite defeated. Just as she was about to comfort him, she looked up at him and could not help but laugh.
Matthew’s finger must have touched the soup just now, but he did not notice it. He touched the tip of his nose with his finger. Now that it was dry. the soup left a thin membrane on the tip of his nose.
Matthew had always been domineering, wise, and calm. Although he had a gentle side, it was the first time Valerie had seen this side of him after knowing him for so long
He looked adorable that way.
Seeing her smile, Matthew’s already ugly upset instantly darkened. Valerie was afraid that he would leave in anger, so she quickly pulled him back and slowly removed the thin membrance at the tip of his nose.
Matthew was stunned when he saw what it was Then, he looked at the soup
pot in confusion. He looked confused as if he did not
understand, which was rare. It was just making soup. Valerie usually handled it so smoothly. He thought it was easy and couldn’t get why it was so hard.
Valerie felt his defeat. She carefully said. “Mr. Grant, why don’t I do it?”
Matthew did not hesitate to reject again. “No need
He did not have the habit of giving up halfway. More importantly, he had already made a iness of it. If he handed it to her now, it would be a linde embarrassing, especially since she was a patient. How could he let a patient cook!
Valerie didn’t want to give up. “But…”
Mathew said, “I said there’s no need. Leave me and restr
He was very persistent. After saying that, he pushed her out of the kitchen again. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Valerie’s stomach growled.
As soon as the loud voice was heard, both of them froze. Valerie was still thinking about how to persuade him to let her stay, but this growl showed that she was hungry Although she was a bit embarrassed, she could not care less now. If she really handed everything to Matthew, she did not know if she would be able to eat anything before dawn tomorrow.
“Mr. Grant, why don’t I watch you from the side? This way, you don’t have to check the guide. Just follow what I say, okay?” Although she was very grateful for the man’s concern for her, she was really about to go crazy from hunger. Moreover, she was afraid that if she wasn’t around, Matthew would blow up the kitchen.
Matthew finally compromised.
Valeric heaved a sigh of relief. She remembered that there were still two packs of biscuits in the fridge, so she took the biscuits and ate them while instructing Matthew on the next step.
She instructed, “You need to cut the chicken breast into small pieces”
Actually, Matthew was supposed to cut the chicken breast first and prepare the other ingredients. When those were prepared, he should stir–fry the chicken with the vegetables until they were no longer raw
This step was quite simple. Mantlew did as he was told.
After Matthew stir–fried the ingredients, Valerie took the opportunity to heat the oil. When the temperature was right, he turned off the stove and mixed the flour into the oil. As he did it, he made the flour and butter roughly mix.
hi the spatula to get a course grainy texture before he added some cold water and cooked over
While trying he needed to gently crush the flour with the medium–low heat while stirring constantly.
Then, he poured in the freshly sauteed ingredients and stirred the soup well. Finally, it was time to add the light cream. The soup was sprinkled with sah and black pepper before serving.

With her directing from the side, every step became much clearer. Matthew did not make any mistakes again, but his cooking was obviously unfamiliar and unskilled.
During this period, there were some small problems. For example, he used sugar as salt. Fortunately, Valerie discovered it in time and quickly used a spoon to scoop the sugar out of the soup. Then, Matthew was afraid that the soup would overflow again, so he directly lifted the entire pot from the stove and carefully placed it back after making sure that there was no overflow.
When Valerie saw his cute actions, she quickly recalled all the sad and angry things that had happened in the past few years. Only then did she hold back her laughter.
