chapter 30 Submit project

Fen explained at length after she found out why her husband did not want to get rid of his smoking habit.

Friend! Yes, that's the most important thing. The influence of everyone in the office environment and around where David is active, is always filled with various smokes that pollute the air.

This has happened not only now, but since his household life began. At first, they could only collect coins, then David, who now has his salary as an honorary employee, is not much.

While the price of cigarettes, 60 percent of David's salary is used every month. That's a pretty big nominal if calculated by a small family like them.

"Honey, I've successfully cooked food. Come here, let's taste it first and correct the taste." David returned to his room about an hour after Fen admonished him to stop smoking earlier.

Fen, who had just started typing, immediately turned to her husband curiously. "What are you cooking?"

David handed a bowl to Fen. Fish head soup? Fen grabbed it and seemed interested in her husband's cooking. Then he took a small sip with a spoon.

Hmm! It's very delicious, the aroma is so inviting to hunger and Fen feels like he wants to eat again.

"How does it taste? As someone who rarely cooks, of course I have to know the taste of my cooking."

David stared at Fen's face, curious about her response. However, Fen grinned horse instead without answering a single word. If he answered now, David would probably have a big head.

But this is a good thing for him because when morning comes he doesn't have to rush to cook. Now, he will only make cookie dough to sell in the canteen this morning. Since Fen became a writer, her interest in selling has slightly diminished. Mostly just make mung bean oatmeal and corn grits, that's because it cooks pretty fast. While small snacks, Fen can only make about 100 seeds.

At 06.35, Fen had just finished packing some snacks and arranged them in the hut in front of the house.

"Mother…! This fish head soup is delicious. If you cook like this every day, I will be thrilled and won't stop eating until all the rice is gone."

"But, the head of this fish seems enormous, how do you catch it?" Nana, who was still five years old, asked until everyone immediately burst out laughing like they heard a joke.Fen, who was still busy with selling, smiled too. "Which one should answer first? The soup is father's cooking, if you like it, you can ask your father to continue cooking it. Then that big fish, mother only buys it from the sailors. Incidentally, yesterday we shared it in two with our next-door neighbor. If only father could fishing, it would be better, and we don't have to spend money to buy fish, which has to make us have to wait a long time at the beach. Even that has to be fought over; otherwise we won't get fresh fish for our side dishes."

That, the answer that made David quiver. On the other hand, he is also happy because his children praise his cooking. David, who happened to be having breakfast on the terrace with his children, smiled to himself. "Fishing? Then you don't need to hesitate with me. I'm also the king of the sea, you know! We still don't believe it? Let's prove that I'm not busy."

This is Fen's fourth week working on a script for a project that was submitted by a publisher who offered him a contract. This was enough for him to work hard, and finally finished it. "Hopefully the curation time is quick, and the editing process isn't too long because I'm not yet a reliable writer, but only a beginner."

Fen immediately fiddled with her cell phone, and returned to typing. He wrote a message to publishers who submitted projects for him.

A week ago, Fen also received royalties for the books he published on online platforms. The pay is superb, because only a few pieces have been sold. However, this is almost as much as her husband's salary as a contract employee.

"Finally, it's delivered." Fen stretched her body because she was tried for hours in front of her husband's cellphone screen and office laptop.

A few minutes later, Fen gasped when she received a reply message from the publishing agency. He was asked to come back with the manuscript he had made. "Thank goodness, then, I should be getting ready now."

The next day, Fen immediately cleaned up as if her new day were about to begin, becoming an author whose book could be published exclusively by one of the major publishers was a success for her.

At that time, Fen several times looked at herself in the mirror while tidying up a bit and commenting on herself. Today will start with a slightly different appearance than usual. This, like a formal office wear. "Ah, it's been a long time since I wanted to work as an office worker. But, I can only be a book writer."

"Beautiful!" David appeared suddenly behind him. And it took him surprised. You didn't go there to seduce the agents there, did you?"

Fen looked directly into her husband's eyes with a sullen face. "I won't do that, bro, I just want to deliver the script I just made. You know, this is more guaranteed income than is writing on an online platform where the salary is uncertain."

David grinned, he just remembered that his wife looked beautiful with that soft makeup. Fen bought the makeup material at an online store that was having a discount.

David realized that he rarely bought his wife equipment for Fen's facial care. "I'm sorry, you really are beautiful today. I'm just afraid that the publishing agency will think you're a girl who will snatch him from me. If that's true, the children will lose their mother."

Plank... Fen slapped her husband's shoulder. "You think I'm that stupid? I'm not the same as you, who had an affair with your wife's friend. I still have a heart and really consider how the children will be in the future."

"It's not that, dear, I'm just kidding. Why are you even taking it seriously?" David began to lose his mind and told the reason for saying that.

"Never mind, I'll just go for a while, breakfast, and your clothes to go monitoring later, I've prepared them in my bag. I'll take Alvin and Bertrand with you, so they don't disturb your activities."

"If you're leaving, please hold on to that one key. I'll be back before the kids get home. Then I'm leaving now."

Fen carried Bertrand and held Alvin's hand to leave immediately. "bye daddy!"

That little and cute Alvin looks so adorable. Femi started to walk towards the door.

"Wait a moment!"
