My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 258

Seeing Kisha’s furious expression, Duke felt flustered and immediately tried to soothe her. However, Kisha continued to avoid his gaze, intensifying his frustration and leaving him at a loss for how to calm her down. If he had known what Kisha was thinking at that moment, he might have seized the chance to be intimate with her once again.

"Wifey, it’s my fault. It’s all my fault." Duke knelt beside the bed, holding her hands with a look of deep remorse. His expression was one of genuine distress and contrition, making it harder for Kisha to maintain her facade of anger.

"I’m hungry," Kisha said, trying to get Duke out of the room. She could no longer maintain her angry facade and was on the verge of breaking character, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as memories of last night replayed in her mind. Her heart raced uncontrollably, making it hard for her to keep up the pretense.

Hearing that Kisha was hungry, Duke immediately sprang into action, eager to take care of her. "Alright, just stay here and rest. I’ll get some breakfast downstairs for you. What would you like to eat?" He asked gently, giving her a tender kiss on the forehead and a warm hug, like a devoted husband.

Kisha struggled to maintain her anger but found herself softening under Duke’s gentle demeanor. Despite her effort to keep a stern expression, her voice wavered slightly. "Anything you cook," she replied, unable to resist the warmth of his care.

"Alright, I’ll whip up something delicious for you. Rest here, and I’ll bring breakfast up when it’s ready," Duke said, planting a tender kiss on Kisha’s cheek before he headed out. His cheerful stride and the spring in his step made it clear he was in an excellent mood. As he left the room, Kisha couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling about letting him go.

Since everyone in the villa now had their own assigned responsibilities at the base, they were all up early to start their day. Marcus and his grandchildren had already prepared breakfast, and the Winters, along with Sparrow Vulture and the rest, were enjoying their meal.

After breakfast, they planned to inspect their respective departments and decide on any changes they wished to implement according to their preferences.

Everyone noticed Duke coming down alone, which was unusual since he typically appeared with Kisha, always following her closely. His solitary arrival piqued their curiosity, and they eagerly anticipated some news or gossip. This was especially true for Duke’s grandfather and parents, who were particularly attentive to the change.

They watched Duke’s every move and noted his unusually good mood, immediately sensing that something was afoot. The Patriarch, Mr. and Mrs. Winters exchanged knowing glances before turning their attention back to Duke, who, holding a tablet in hand, made his way purposefully toward the kitchen.

Seeing Duke preparing breakfast, Marcus immediately offered to help, only to be turned down. "No, my wife specifically asked for my cooking," Duke said with pride as he pulled a pan from the cupboard. He then opened his tablet and searched for recipes for chicken soup and Egg Benedict.

After quickly reading through the instructions, Duke began cooking, all the while under the watchful eyes of his parents, grandfather, and the rest of the household.

Duke’s mother watched intently as he boiled a whole chicken in a pot, quickly realizing his plan for the meal. She exchanged a knowing smile with her husband, confirming their suspicions. Duke, however, was completely absorbed in his cooking, paying no mind to the onlookers. His sole focus was on preparing a delicious meal for his wife, who was still bedridden and unable to get up.
