Chapter 27

"Did Jake bring his little lover with him yesterday?" Melissa Busch grimaced as she remembered Maxine Lee's expression that day. She found out why Edward Busch and Natasha Quinn are estranged, and it was because of Maxine. Melissa Busch was not a fan of hers. She was not sure how Jake Hendrix got a girl with such a temper to be his girlfriend. "To harm someone, you'll have fun when you're that young." Penny Busch would not agree if she was asked if she wanted Maxine to be her future daughter-in-law. Maxine Lee's actions that day had tarnished the Busch family's reputation. After a brief conversation, Natasha Quinn exited the room. She went downstairs joyfully after giving Sam Miller a "look with confidence." "How is it going, Natasha?" Melissa took a risk by allowing Natasha Quinn to console Edward Busch. She was still a little concerned about the outcome. "Ah, very good," Natasha continued, "but Edward had mentioned that he was hungry, and I was planning to offer him something." Natasha Quinn flashed a smile and motioned towards the kitchen. "I did not anticipate Natasha to cook and be so virtuous." Penny Busch smiled as she looked in the mirror. "Just watch me." Natasha said. Melissa Busch, who received the result, was overjoyed, and they exchanged smiles. On the other hand, Natasha Quinn appeared in the kitchen, frightening the cook. The cook did not think cooking by himself was particularly appetizing. He handed Natasha Quinn the kitchen when he found out she merely wanted to make a home-cooked noodle. Natasha simply packed up the ingredients, made two bowls of tomato and egg noodles, and then served them in Edward's room. She felt shy and happy. She wondered if he would like her noodles. Edward Busch looked at her expectant eyes, nodded, and took the first bite. "How was it?" "Very good." Edward Busch said concisely and his eyes became much softer. When the girl realized what had happened, she beamed happily and took the bowl to eat. In actuality, she went to cook because she was hungry, but she assumed he was as well. She looked at Edward Busch again after eating half of her meal, as if she had something to say. "What's the matter?" He asked. Edward Busch noticed that she was hesitant. "Edward, could you not...look for a doctor in the future..." Her voice was becoming increasingly hushed, and her face was flushed. Edward Busch was well aware that she had come to work for that particular day. "Then, in the future, inform me if you feel uncomfortable, and be the first to notify me." Edward Busch fixed his gaze on her. "I am your husband." He said. Natasha Quinn blushed and nodded quickly. Natasha Quinn took advantage of Edward Busch's attention for a long time, she kissed him on the cheek and then buried her face in the bowl, not daring to make a sound. Edward Busch was taken aback by what just happened. Looking at the shy girl's actions made a small part of Edward's heart melt.
