Christopher was stunned by this as he wondered, Could it be something that Maryse doesn’t want me to know? At the thought of this, he directly pulled Samantha over and held her shoulders before swooping her into his arms. “As your husband, I will always have your back, Samantha. No matter what it is, I’ll definitely agree to it; stop asking me as if you need my permission, okay?” he replied to her with determination as he gently caressed her hair. Upon hearing this, Samantha covered her mouth; she was afraid that she’d cry out loud since she was touched by his words. “My uncle’s son will be getting married in two days, and their family’s sort of the wealthy kind. Logically speaking, my mom and I should get him a wedding gift, but they always mock us because of my dad… I suppose my mom won’t use the money you gave earlier unless it’s an emergency because that’s how she’s always been. I don’t really care if they mock me, but I’m just afraid that my mom would not be able to handle it. After all, she’s suffered enough all her life,” whispered Samantha after she sprang into his arms. Christopher was stunned by this; he never thought that her family was going through something like this. You miserable fellow—how dare you to mock Samantha and my future mother-in-law? I won’t condone this! “Oh, Samantha, and here I thought you were going to tell me something even more serious. Don’t worry, I won’t let you two be embarrassed that day—I’ll show them what spectacular really means.” He patted her back gently, all the while thinking that she was indeed an admirable girl. After settling Samantha’s matter, he looked at Maryse and sighed inwardly, Looks like I won’t get to sleep with Samantha for now. However, he grew excited again when he realized that there were not many days left until the end of the month. In a few more days, I can finally have a good time with Samantha. Ah, her silky smooth skin. I can go all night… When he thought about this, Christopher grinned like a Cheshire cat. He didn’t even notice that he was already drooling. After he went back home, he lay on his bed immediately and took out his phone to open the Thumbs-Up System. Christopher looked at the Lucky Draw System joyfully and figured that he hadn’t played it for a while! Right now, he merely had around 20,000 thumbs-up points, and he wanted to maximize the Luck Meter like last time so that he could get 100 percent lucky. Yet, he didn’t have enough points to do so. If he were to maximize it, his 20,000 points might be used up within a quarter of the time. By then, he would most probably end up with nothing. As he rubbed his chin, he then set the Luck Meter at 40 percent. This way, the number of points he spent per second would be around 2,000. With around 20,000 points in the system, he figured they should be enough. “Draw it.” As he took a deep breath, he tapped on the slot machine aggressively. A few seconds later, the automated alert tone rang in his mind. “Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining ‘100% Immediate Learning Candy’! The time limit is 24 hours!” At this moment, he was only left with barely 4,000 points, and when he saw the red candy that suddenly appeared in his right hand, he was utterly speechless. What the hell do I need this candy for? In fact, his learning ability and memory had greatly improved after he took the Bone Broth Detox Soup. Although he couldn’t learn things immediately, he could still master them 100 percent! While his hand that held the phone trembled, he let out a long sigh. Why do I often get weird things from the Thumbs-Up System? Guess I can only wait and see when this will come in handy. Ah, now is not the time to worry about this; I should get a good night’s sleep and focus on making the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup tomorrow. Hehe, from tomorrow onward, I can have all the thumbs-up points and money! It feels amazing just thinking about it! The next day, Christopher took big strides and hurried to The Serenade. While he was on his way, he kept thinking about what the soup could do and how effective it would be! When he arrived at the kitchen, he was surprised that the violent girl was nowhere to be seen. Hence, he kept looking around with his eyes full of confusion. Just as he was about to step inside, a fair hand grabbed him by the collar. D*mn! This girl has even learned how to sneak up on others! “You shall have the opportunity to explain to me what the hell this Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup is all about!” At this moment, Scarlett was grabbing Christopher’s collar with a slightly blushed face while her foot was on a chair, making the eyes of the people around her pop wide open. “It’s just a dish that’ll make us tons of money. Except for its expensive cost, I don’t find anything wrong with it. Are there any more questions?” “You’re such an unambitious and lazy man. How dare you launch this dish? I don’t care! I won’t allow you to do this!” As she snorted, she crossed her arms and turned her beautiful face around. Additionally, her lifted chin showed that she would pay no attention to him. When he heard this, Christopher shook his head helplessly. As expected, I can’t talk to this girl about the matter. I’m no teacher myself, and I really have no idea where I should start if I want to educate her. Hence, he glimpsed at her briefly and replied, “In that case, you’ll have to talk to Ms. Sears yourself. If she agrees to it, I will not make this dish.” Meanwhile, Christopher chuckled cunningly and thought to himself, Hehe, a smart person like Luna certainly won’t give up a money-making opportunity. I guess you’ll have to wait for donkey’s years if you want to persuade her! Upon hearing this, she puffed out her cheeks and stared angrily at him. The next moment, her eyes suddenly widened, and a cleaver appeared in her hands. With an evil smile, she glanced at him as the cold ray on the cleaver intensified. D*mn! Get a new trick, will you? My johnson will surely get smaller if you always scare it like this! Christopher hastily ran toward a relatively crowded area in the kitchen, making it hard for Scarlett to hit him. As a result, she stomped her feet in frustration, and it was only after a long while did she stop making a fuss and began her work. When he saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Is this girl being forced to go into the kitchen every single day? Why is the cleaver always her go-to weapon? She sure doesn’t act like a lady at all!
