The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 228: He’s a Bit Stingy

When Leo Grant came home from work, he was greeted by a delicious aroma as soon as he opened the door, and he furrowed his brow slightly.

He turned into the kitchen, where Holly Sawyer was busy with an apron, her movements skillful and natural.

"You’re home early today."

Holly turned her head, just in time to meet Leo Grant’s gaze. She raised her wrist to check the time and blinked lightly.

She had already estimated the timing, so that the meal would be ready when Leo Grant arrived home. Unexpectedly, Leo Grant arrived slightly earlier than she had anticipated.

"You go out, I’ll handle this."

Leo Grant entered the kitchen and snatched the spatula from Holly Sawyer’s hands.

The young lady was being quite disobedient, running into the kitchen again.

"You go out, let me finish this dish and it’ll be OK."

Holly Sawyer shook her head and took the spatula back from Leo Grant’s hands.

"Looks like I need to call Mrs. Hayes back soon."

Leo Grant sighed lightly, speaking with a hint of helplessness.

When Holly Sawyer insisted on doing something, he couldn’t stop her. Besides, he couldn’t hold her back.

"No rush, give Mrs. Hayes some more time off."

Holly Sawyer said nonchalantly, clearly understanding Leo Grant’s underlying message.

"Oh, brother-in-law, you’re back?"

Nancy Miller walked into the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit and was momentarily taken aback to see Leo Grant also in the kitchen.

"Mm."

Leo Grant nodded toward Nancy Miller and then walked out.

"Seems like brother-in-law is a bit unhappy..."

Nancy Miller carried the fruit to wash it, gently biting her lip.

He seemed somewhat unwelcome to her, his demeanor was cold and somewhat unhappy.

Nancy Miller was very skilled in observing people’s emotional characteristics.

"He’s angry with me, so petty."

Holly Sawyer shook her head helplessly, continuing to stir-fry her unfinished dish.

"Oh."

Nancy Miller placed the washed fruit on the cutting board to chop.

She really admired the love between Leo Grant and Holly Sawyer.

"Sis, is this a weight-loss meal?"

Nancy Miller glanced at the table and asked with some skepticism.

It was mostly meat-heavy, but Holly Sawyer did say it was a low-fat meal.

"Yes, as a dance student, don’t you know that rice actually has higher calories than many dishes?"

Holly Sawyer slightly curled her lips as she asked Nancy Miller.

"Ah."

Nancy Miller was stunned, she had never known this.

She wasn’t overweight herself, with a regular diet and mostly vegetarian meals, so it never caused any obesity issues.

"Wash your hands, help me take the dishes to the dining room."

Holly Sawyer served the last dish and turned to instruct Nancy Miller.

Nancy Miller nodded.

"Brother, dinner’s ready."

Holly Sawyer specifically went upstairs to call Leo Grant.

"Don’t be unhappy, okay?"

Leo Grant had changed into casual clothes, his expression a bit sour, and Holly Sawyer stood on tiptoe to pinch his cheek, pleading.

Oops, made Leo Grant unhappy.

Leo Grant’s face remained unchanged.

"I’ll try not to enter the kitchen in the future, okay? Don’t be angry."

Holly Sawyer stood on tiptoe and kissed Leo Grant’s cheek, her hands holding Leo Grant’s right hand as she spoke softly and sweetly.

"All smells of kitchen smoke."

Leo Grant pinched Holly Sawyer’s face, speaking with a faint tone.

"No, the kitchen’s exhaust fan works great."

Holly Sawyer sniffed herself up and down, blinking in confusion.

There wasn’t a trace of smell on her, where’s the kitchen smoke?

"Let’s eat."

Leo Grant didn’t want to say more, pulling Holly Sawyer by her waist to walk downstairs.

In the dining room, Nancy Miller had already laid the dishes on the table.

"This corn mushroom soup, pan-seared chicken breast, cumin beef, shrimp vegetable salad, and baby cabbage rolls are all low-fat and suitable to eat during weight loss."

Holly Sawyer pushed the dishes she mentioned toward Nancy Miller and spoke slowly.

Nancy Miller seemed to have gone too far with her weight loss and hadn’t eaten well, her complexion wasn’t great.

"Thanks, sis."

Looking at the meat in front of her, Nancy Miller’s appetite opened up instantly.

She hadn’t eaten meat for about a month, afraid to consume it.

She frequently took up commercial performances and stage plays now, and recently began recording a dance program, making weight loss crucial.

Being thin was more photogenic.

Back when she focused on studying well, she would occasionally allow herself some meat, as long as her weight didn’t increase.

So these could also be weight-loss meals; Nancy Miller felt she wasted many years before.

Leo Grant remained silent, peeling shrimps for Holly Sawyer.

"I’ll send you a recipe later, follow it."

"Your complexion isn’t good, likely due to prolonged lack of protein intake—remember to mix things up for balance."

Holly Sawyer glanced at Nancy Miller and spoke slowly.

She had learned a bit about nutrition once, although mostly forgotten now, she remembered the majority.

"Okay, I got it."

Nancy Miller nodded.

"Don’t stay up late, it’s bad for your health."

Holly Sawyer continued to remind her.

Nancy Miller worked very hard for her job, constantly practicing, often staying up all night for a single move.

Nancy Miller nodded: "Mm, mm."

The feeling of having a sister was really wonderful.

Thinking about having a sister who cared for her, Nancy Miller felt genuinely happy.

"Can’t you care for me?"

Leo Grant glanced at Holly Sawyer with a bit of jealousy.

"You’re around me every day, there’s no need to remind—I can supervise you."

Holly Sawyer playfully blinked, her lips carrying a smile.

Yeah, Leo Grant was always hovering around her, any concerns could be addressed directly.

Leo Grant smiled and said: "Okay."

"It’s getting late, stay over here tonight and leave tomorrow."

After dinner, Holly Sawyer opened the window to view the thick night outside and spoke slowly.

The sky was fully dark, though the streetlights were shining.

"A bit inconvenient, right?"

Nancy Miller gently bit her lip, her gaze landing on Leo Grant.

Staying for dinner already felt like she was disrupting Leo Grant and Holly Sawyer’s world, let alone staying overnight; it might not be ideal.

Maybe Leo Grant would be upset.

"It’s fine."

Leo Grant walked past Nancy Miller and directly went upstairs to the study.

It’s not convenient!

However, Nancy Miller was Holly Sawyer’s sister, so he forced himself to hold back those words.

If he said it, Holly Sawyer might be unhappy.

"Let me find you a nightgown, your sleepwear seems a bit small."

Holly Sawyer tidied up a room for Nancy Miller and went to her own room to fetch belongings for Nancy Miller.

She was quite shorter than Nancy Miller, so clothes on Nancy might be very brief; a nightgown might be more suitable.

"Okay."

Nancy Miller nodded, feeling delighted.

If she could have met Holly Sawyer earlier, they could have grown up together, claimed sisterhood, presumably sharing many wonderful memories.

Meeting Holly Sawyer now wasn’t too late; Nancy Miller just felt she had missed out on a lot.
