I Quit Being a Stepmother (Cypress Gem) novel Chapter 574

"Honey, welcome back!"

The moment Kate heard that Sawyer was on his way home, she was already waiting by the door.

She truly cared for him. She wanted nothing more than to be a devoted, loving wife. Outside, she carried herself with elegance and poise, but at home, she was willing to shed her glamour and cook warm meals for him herself.

Over time, Kate realized that she was falling deeper and deeper in love with Sawyer.

She adored everything about him, inside and out. Her love for him had almost caught up to how she had once felt about George.

That was why she was getting anxious.

When could they have a baby?

If they had a cute little one, their family would be perfect, and those high-society ladies who fawned over her would envy her even more.

Kate took Sawyer's blazer and handed it to the maid before looping her arm around his. "Honey, I made your favorite soup."

The maid added helpfully, "Mrs. Burton simmered it for hours herself and watched the fire the whole time."

Sawyer lifted Kate's hand to examine it.

"What's wrong?" she asked, puzzled.

"Did you hurt yourself? You should've let the chef do it. I didn't marry you so you'd spend time in the kitchen."

Kate's cheeks turned rosy. Putting on a cute act, she said, "But I wanted to cook for you."

Sawyer's expression softened, his smile faint. "Then I'll make sure to drink plenty."

At dinner, the maids quietly stepped away, leaving the couple alone.

Sawyer tried the soup. It was decent.

Busy?

Sawyer lowered his gaze.

Kate had been at Solaris Ventures for a while but hadn't handled a single translation project on her own. Calling her idle would have been generous.

Her days at work were filled with gossiping and showing off to her female colleagues. When she wasn't doing that, she was inviting them out to fancy lunches, dinners, or weekend shopping trips.

She really had mastered the art of being a pampered wife.

Meanwhile, according to Damian, Rhea was so busy that George sometimes had to wait outside her office until she finished working overtime.

Rhea was capable, ambitious, beautiful, and had a good background. Comparing her to Kate, it was no wonder that George never looked at Kate back then.

Sawyer's thoughts drifted. He couldn't help wondering where exactly Kate's confidence came from.
