Butler Li was rendered speechless after hearing those remarks from Little Ethan. So his master was doing this just because of Abigail and her forgiveness.

Butler Li gazed at Little Ethan suspiciously. He could tell that their young master was up to something.

"What are the other tips?" Butler Li murmured, asking Ethan back.

But Ethan just sealed his mouth, running his fingers through his lips sideways. "It\'s a secret. Just watch out and enjoy, Uncle Li!" Ethan playfully smiled and winked at Butler Li as he patted his hand.

Butler Li could only chuckle since Little Ethan was trying to be secretive. "Alright! I will just observe what will happen next."

Ethan just bobbed his head. Then he traced his steps towards his father, joining him.

"Dad! Good morning! Do you need some help? I will assist you!" Ethan cheerfully volunteered.

Nathan turned to his son, gazing at him intently. He was so quiet, his face filled with complicated emotions.

At first, he kept on denying that he deserved to apologize. But deep inside, he wanted to apologize genuinely to Abigail after knowing that Abigail did her best to recommend him to Mr. Hiroshi.

He also felt guilty as he yelled at her unintentionally. It was just a burst of his anger and worries so he lost control of his temper. But he regretted saying those harsh words to Abigail.

Thinking about his mistake and wrongdoings, Nathan didn\'t hesitate to do the first item in the To-Do list made by Ethan.

However, his son wrote a lot of things on that piece of paper. He complained yesterday, but Little Ethan insisted that he had to do those things in order for Abigail to accept his apology.

Nathan was overwhelmed by the To-Do list but he was willing to try some, thinking that Abigail would easily give in once he performed two to three things from the To-Do List.

"Just stay there and watch. I don\'t want you to set the kitchen on fire," Nathan said, warning his son. He just let Ethan watch him rather than make him assist Nathan.

"Okay, Dad. What were you cooking, Dad?" Ethan grabbed a chair and climbed on it to take a peek at the frying pot.

"Vegetable Fried Rice…" Nathan simply replied.

"May I have a taste before you serve this to Miss Abi?" Ethan asked his father again with his innocent eyes. Butler Li just stayed silent as he enjoyed watching the interaction between the father and son duo.

"Sure, please taste it for me." Nathan scooped a spoonful of fried rice and brought it to Ethan\'s mouth. The young boy opened his mouth so wide, letting his father feed him.

After a while, Ethan chewed the food inside his mouth while Nathan and Butler Li were both anticipating his feedback.

"How is it?" Nathan asked his son expectantly.

Ethan met his father\'s eyes and frowned. "Dad, did you taste it or not?"

"No. Why? Is there something wrong?"

Little Ethan facepalmed after hearing that. "Dad, how can you cook without tasting it?! Your food is a little bit bland! Mix some seasoning like salt and others!" Ethan sounded like a teacher lecturing his student.

Unable to hold back, Butler Li also moved closer to them. He also tried the fried rice. He almost choked from suppressing his laughter. Little Ethan was right! The food tasted so bland and lacked seasonings.

"Dad, are you sure you followed the recipe? It didn\'t pass my palate. Cook it again! Instead of impressing Miss Abi, you will end up disappointing her once again."

Nathan could only purse his lips, trying to control his temper and conceal his annoyance. He was not used to cooking for someone. People were the ones serving him, but now, he was the one doing it for Abigail.

\'This woman makes me do things I\'ve never done before… just like Monica,\' Nathan sighed deeply.

Nathan had no choice but to recook it. He was so determined to make it taste delicious. This breakfast was his peace offering to Abigail.

Ethan and Butler Li began assisting him in the kitchen. The three were so engrossed in preparing breakfast when someone entered the kitchen.

Abigail was finally awake and she came downstairs, proceeding to the kitchen. She rubbed her eyes when she saw a particular someone in the kitchen. Abigail\'s heart almost jumped out of her chest from utter surprise, seeing Nathan wearing a pink apron while cooking in the kitchen.

\'Damn, am I still dreaming?" She glanced at Nathan\'s figure without blinking. \'What is the devil doing here in the kitchen… don\'t tell me…\'

Abigail gasped and covered her mouth, her eyes widened in realization. \'Oh gosh! Don\'t tell me Nathan followed Ethan\'s instruction… for Real?\'

"Miss Abi, good morning!" Ethan was the first person who noticed her presence.

Meanwhile, Nathan stopped what he was doing at the mention of Abigail\'s name. He didn\'t turn around to look at her. He just held the cooking ladle tightly in his hand as he bit his lower lip. \'Damn! She\'s here. I\'m not yet done cooking!\'

"Good morning, Little Ethan… why are you here? The three of you?" Abigail asked them innocently. She was pretending as if Abigail had no idea about Ethan\'s strategy. She was aware that Ethan was the one who made his Dad cook for her.

"Cough! Cough!" Butler Li cleared his throat and then greeted Abigail. "I forgot… I still need to water the plants in the garden. I\'m gonna leave first." He immediately said goodbye to them as he could tell that this moment was supposed to be shared by Ethan, Nathan, and Abigail.

On the other hand, Little Ethan tugged the hem of his father\'s shirt, urging him to face Abigail and greet her. Being obedient to his son, Nathan finally turned around. Their eyes met for a moment then Nathan spoke up.

"Good morning, Miss Abi. Are you hungry? Just give me five minutes, I will be done cooking by that time." Nathan spoke spontaneously, trying his best to sound natural.

Abigail just stood frozen in her spot as she sized him up. \'Shit! Nathan is such a handsome Chef. How can he still be gorgeous in that pink apron? He still looks manly…\' Abigail subconsciously bit her lower lip, feasting her eyes on the handsome Chef.

But after a while, she realized that she was supposed to be mad at him. \'C\'mon Abi! Don\'t go easy on him. Don\'t be carried away by his charm.\' She reminded herself.

Putting on a stoic expression on her face, Abigail responded, "Are you planning to poison me to get even at me?"

A deep crease formed on Nathan\'s forehead when he heard that. He already made an effort to cook for her but she was acting stubbornly and talking to him sarcastically.

\'Nathan… be patient… you have to reconcile with her… so endure it!\' Nathan comforted himself inwardly.

Flashing his charming smile, Nathan walked closer to Abigail and grabbed her shoulders. Not allowing her to resist, he just led her to the vacant seat. "Sit down for a moment. I will be done soon. This breakfast is for you… my peace offering."
