232 Somehow Found You 3 (2/2)
The man was silently staring at her.
Alessa's laughter intensified as she looked back to him while taking out what she brought with her.
He helplessly shook his head then asked,
”I could have just asked you to recommend me something to order, but since you're already here, please help me out and cook something that is light and easy to digest.”
The woman flipped the ends of her long hair back to make sure that no strand would fall off on the countertop as she worked.
”Leave it to me, though I am a Morgan, Aura taught me how to move in a kitchen. Also, I've acted in a restaurant themed TV drama a month ago.”
He watched her for some time and then strode towards his refrigerator in the living room.
He was about to take out soya milk there to give her when the system reminded him that it was early morning and cold drinks were not good for the stomach.
'Damn... That escaped my mind.'
He scratched the back of his neck then walked back to the kitchen empty-handed.
”Hey, I'm just waiting for this one to cook over the fire.” She said as if reporting her progress to him.
Chris nodded, his steps didn't pause as he went to his auto-drip coffee maker- the only appliance in this place which he didn't fear would explode or malfunction in his hand.
Before, he mused if this was the case because he would be only using it for brewing something bitter.
A few minutes later, while the woman was dozing off at the table near the stove, his shadow loomed over her through the lightning.
That alerted her and made her open her eyes. Just in time to see him extending his hand to her.
”Coffee.”
”Oh.” When she accepted the mug and took a sip, surprised got written all over her since it was actually almost exactly the same with what her assistant Aura always brew for her.
With wide eyes, she inquired, ”How did you know my preference for coffee?”
”I guessed.”
His eyes went to his own mug.
He wouldn't ever admit to anyone that he paid points for this, guilty of his first silly decision earlier.
On the other hand, Alessa suspiciously glanced at him and wondered if he asked Aura some time ago.
She made a mental note to confirm this with her assistant, unaware that once she does, her assistant would only think of her as a weirdo.
Time passed by. As Alessa prepared the food and switched off the stove, he heard the system clamored in his head as though it beheld something beyond amazing.
'...'
He really felt like killing it.
As Alessa headed for the dish cabinet, he intercepted her and did the work himself.
A minute later, the woman got surprised to find out that he was heading to the guest room while carrying the tray.
She realized one thing.
”So the porridge and light snacks are not for you?”
The disappointment in her voice did not escape his hearing.
He shook his head and thought for a moment. He knew he had to show her the reason to not make her feel so down.
”Come with me.”
Despite feeling a bit dejected that her hard work was not actually for him, she did follow him into the guest room.
It was where she froze real good as she looked at the small innocent looking boy tucked into the bed there who was oddly already awake at this very early morning.
