NovelEnglishChapter 70 James probably hadn't expected her to actually cook, so he paused, coffee cup in hend, as his gaze drifted over to her.
Sophie's face was expressionless. As a wealthy heiress, she had been served by maids all her life and had never needed to step into the kitchen.
In her past life, after marrying James, she had listened to Bea's advice that to win a man's heart, one must first win his stomach. Thus, she, who had never solled her hands in domestic work, began to try her hand at cooking. However, in the end, James never even tasted her cooking.

When breakfast was ready, and James noticed that there was none for him, he frowned, "Where's mine?" "Make it yourself." Sophie didn't offer him a single smile.
James was visibly annoyed, "Sophie!" Sophie ignored him, instead tearing into her toast bite by bite.
Since she no longer liked James, she saw no reason to go out of her way to please him.
"I'm done." After eating. Sophie took the plates and cutlery to the kitchen, then grabbed her bag and headed for the door.
James asked, "Where are you going?" "I have a class this morning" "Take the day off." "James, are you sick?" Sophie had finally had enough. From this moming, James' behavior had been very strange. First, he gave Marian the day off, then he had her make breakfast, and now he wanted her to take a day off.
After a while, James finally spoke up. "What's the deal with that piece of land?" He finally got to the point. Sophie thought James wouldn't ask.
No wonder he was acting so strange today. It was still all about profit.

"Do you have any idea how much that land is worth now?" "I'm not sure. I only know I've been stuck with it for a long time, so I was eager to sell it. If someone wanted to buy it, of course, I would Bell." "You!" Sophie watched as James got frustrated, and she couldn't help but feel thrill.
"What happened, Mr. Burke? Didn't I you look down on that land before? Now you think it's valuable?" James took a deep breath, "Who did you sell it to?" Seeing that Sophie wasn't speaking, James asked again, "Did you know that the land would be designated as a green zone?"
He had thought it over all night and couldn't think of any other possibility. Spending a fortune on @polluted area was madness. He had thought Sophie was crazy, but now it seemed like she had done it on purpose.
"Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Burke. I don't have your brains or your foresight How could I possibly see that far could! ahead? 1 just bought a piece of land as a whim. You're overthinking it.", Sophie's gaze was earnest, and for a moment, James doubted himself.
James stayed silent, but Sophie really didn't want to drag it out any longer, “Can I go now?" "Not yet" "What else do you want?" Sophie glanced at the time. It was already a bit of a drive to Eastwood College, and she would be late if she didn't leave soon.
"I had Lee call in sick for you. You're going shopping with me! Chapter 70 "Shopping?" Sophie stared at James as if he were a fool.
James could hardly bear her gaze and explained sterly, word by word, "It's for show, do you think showing affectionat one press conference is enough? Do you realize how much your nightclub rendezvous has affected the company?"
