CEO, Don't Run Anymore

Chapter 2: I Will Protect You

Helen slowly tasted a spoonful. The smell of the chicken soup was strange, but she told herself it must be because of the special recipe. Until each flavor gradually penetrated the tip of Helen’s tongue...

This soup of his is salty, she doesn’t know how much salt Richard put in her cooking.

But looking at his expectant eyes like that, she didn’t dare to speak out. Anyway, Richard is also kind to her, so it takes so much effort, she can’t just let him down: “Come on Helen, swallow it” - she encouraged herself.

“Then let’s try to eat it all! I cook so much that I can eat until the evening.”

Richard’s face when he heard her compliment could not hide the joy in it. Perhaps he had high hopes for this soup.

“You don’t need it, it’s too much. I can’t eat it all.”

Helen said fearfully. She really couldn’t imagine being fed by Richard with some weird food every day.

“You are my treasure. Taking care of you, loving you is also my responsibility. It’s okay! You don’t work hard.”

Richard thought it was because she was afraid that she would have to cook hard, so she wanted to refuse, not thinking that his dish was unusual.

“There’s no need to bother.”

Her body, which had just finished bathing, was now covered in sweat.

“What’s there to worry about! Baby can he will not be lazy, not afraid of not having the food he cooks. If you get bored, I will learn another dish. Is it okay?”

Richard is persistent, he still insists on cooking for her every day.

“That is enough. I'll listen to you!”

Before Richard’s persistence, she could only silently agree to his will. Thinking of the future, they all have to work hard to swallow the loving chicken soup he cooked for her,

Helen couldn’t hide her helplessness, but let out a small sigh. How can he be so cute that she can’t bear to refuse him...

Recalling the day before his accident, Helen always cooked his favorite dishes every day, obediently waiting for him to come home to eat with him. There were days when he overtime Helen because he waited too long and fell asleep at the dinner table. By morning, he still hadn’t come home, so she had to move away from the pile of food that had been cold for a long time.

Richard always ate out, or would rather skip meals, never wanting to share a table with her. Once, fearing that he would be hungry if he had to stay up at night to work, Helen silently stewed some chicken soup and brought it up for him to eat. Unexpectedly, Richard was not only not touched, but also angrily threw the whole bowl of soup to the ground, accidentally splashing hot soup into her hand, causing her to get burned.

Now, sometimes, looking at the burn from the day before on his hand and looking at the bowl of chicken soup he cooked for her, Helen feels extremely heartbroken.

Days and days passed peacefully. Richard still regularly went down to the kitchen to cook for Helen. Of course, she still swallowed bitterly and ate the unique dishes that only he dared to create.

But perhaps because she has eaten a lot, Helen has gradually adapted, she does not feel it anymore. Every time she looked at his thoughtful appearance preparing food, she felt extremely warm. It is now past nine o’clock in the evening, and Helen has sent all the maids home. She was alone at home. She was bored at home. Today, Richard has been on a business trip since early morning. Since this morning, no one has followed her, making her a little disappointed, feeling as if something important is missing.

Helen alone walked slowly down to the kitchen. The kitchen she looked at was strange. It had been a long time since she had entered this place. That “eventually right! Usually, if not the maid, only Richard would cook for her. He wouldn’t even let her do anything. Receiving this excessive pampering from him, I am afraid that eventually, Helen will become a lazy worm.

Back a few days ago,

Remember that day, Richard was going to work at the company to prepare for an important contract. Seeing him work hard every day from early morning to late at night, she wanted to cook something to nourish him.

Thinking so, Helen excitedly ran into the kitchen. She chased all the housekeepers out of the kitchen. He had prepared food for her with her own hands, and she would have made it herself for him. She spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen. The sweet aroma of the food constantly rose, making those who smelled it also admired her skill.

It wouldn’t be strange until Helen took the pot of boiling water and spilled it. Just like that, she poured an entire pot of hot water into her leg.

Helen could only scream, “Ah!” in pain, and fell to the floor. Her legs were constantly emitting smoke, her white skin had begun to gradually become red and swollen, looking very scary. The maid outside heard the owner’s scream and ran into the kitchen in a panic. Seeing Helen lying on the floor, they were startled and quickly called to tell him about this.

“Hello, boss, boss, there’s something wrong with you....”

Before he could finish his words, the other end of the line quickly hung up.

Less than five minutes later, Richard was at the front door of the mansion. It covered his forehead with sweat, his face could not hide the extreme worry.

As soon as the car stopped, he rushed into the house. Seeing Helen in constant pain like that, he couldn’t help but be afraid. Richard picked her up carried her to her room and immediately called Dr. David.

“You have five minutes to get here.”

Somehow, at such dangerous times, he didn’t seem as childish as before. It was as if Richard’s former self had returned to being extremely serious, extremely cold. However, this did not last too long. After a short time, his personality returned to the usual childishness.

Less than five minutes later, their doctor was at the mansion. His face was even scarier than Richard’s just now. Having worked here for a long time, he also had to accept these urgent tasks many times.

After a while of examination, both he and the doctor breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the burn is nothing to worry about, just with careful care combined with medications, it will heal quickly.

Richard kept telling the doctor to prescribe her the best and most expensive medicines. When she knew she had nothing to worry about anymore. After seeing him off, he immediately moved on to deal with the servants. Richard is on the long sofa in the center of the living room. Opposite him was a row of over twenty maids in the mansion.

“Why did you leave the mistress in the kitchen alone?” -

His voice carried a source of cold air filled with anger that made everyone shiver.

“Yes sir, because the mistress won’t let us in!”

The servants huddled together while trembling in response.

“If she won’t let you in, won't you come in? Didn’t I tell you to monitor and take care of the mistress when I’m not at home?”

“Yes, but we have no choice. We dare not disobey the mistress.”

“If you want to be the maid of this villa, you can’t say there’s no way. Fortunately, your mistress was fine just now, so I won’t do anything to you, or else you don’t want to get out of here!”

No matter how childish his mind is, when necessary, he still wants to protect her, and can still be a protective husband for his wife.

“Yes, thank you, master - When the people who did it heard that, they were happy to bow their heads to thank him.

“Now get the hell out of here.”

“What?”

“I won’t say it a second time. Get out of here, don’t change my mind.”

“Yes...”

The frightened maids quickly ran to gather things and leave this hellish place. This is also a very fortunate thing for them. If they meet the former Richard, I’m afraid that their small network may be gone, let alone just fired like that.

It took over two months for Helen’s body to gradually recover completely. Her skin also had no scars. All thanks to Richard running back and forth every day to find all the best medicine for her.

But from that day on, he didn’t let Helen step into the kitchen, not even half a step...

Back to the present,

Now that she stepped into the kitchen, Richard knew for sure that he would not stop scolding in her ear. Helen sighed and quietly left the kitchen to prepare to go to bed early. Without him at home, it’s better to rest so early!

Just as she was about to walk up the stairs back to her room, a loud bell rang. Helen doubtfully ran to open the door. Who would still be here at this hour? As soon as the door opened, a colossal figure rushed to embrace her. Closing her eyes, she could also feel the scent of this person was none other than Richard.

“Didn’t you go on a business trip? Why did you come back just now?” she asked suspiciously.

“Because the client had to go home urgently. They signed the contract quickly and then left, so I could leave early!”

Richard, as if he had not seen her for a long time, clung to her body and refused to let go. This morning she had prepared the luggage for him herself, but he felt like he had been apart for ten years.

“Come on, I've been tired since morning. Go take a shower and go to bed early!”

“I’m so tired, I must eat something to refresh my health. This little body is exhausted!”

Helen’s expression twisted as she heard him speak. I don’t know when she was so sensitive to his word “eat”.
