Chapter 39: Relationship no Longer the Same

After the message was sent, Saint soon received: ”I can't come back!”

He was surprised, and then felt unexpectedly bothered by that. Since Lorna moved into his place, he started feeling like he had a real family. Although it might have brought him more trouble, but that was coming his way no matter what. However, what bother Saint the most was that lingering loneliness that got stronger as he remained in this new world and that, that was what his new ”family” took away…

As he was in his daze, he was awakened by the sudden ringing of his phone. He looked at its screen to find another message: ”I'll be returning immediately, boss! I have invited Sensei to a 'Family Lunch', so prepare more food.”

Colleen is coming!

Saint sent her an okay emoji, and then went to the stock room.

He took out extra ingredients, picked up the wok and started Cooking. As usual, no flame was the wok, only his hand was over it, making the oil sizzle.

Ten minutes later, Lorna returned to the restaurant on time. At the kitchen door, different aromas reached her nose, and she asked: ”Boss, what are we eating today?”

”Kung Pow chicken, Muxu Meat, Spicy Sansi Fried Rice, Mapo Doufu, Boiled Beef, and Tomato Egg Soup. It's right over there!” Saint pointed to the counter.

”Wow, so much, and what rich aromas! We've been eating barbecue so often; it's driving me sick!”

Lorna walked forward, looking at Saint in surprise: ”Boss, are you dying today or something? You're usually too lazy to just make soup with the barbecue!”

Right then, Colleen entered through the door, catching Saint's eyes. His look said everything to Lorna: 'Of course it's because Sensei is here, and he's trying to impress her!'

”So that's it, I was wondering how you would suddenly be so good!”

Lorna took two of the plates and walked to the dining table where she usually ate. As she put them down she said: ”Sure that's his purpose! Sensei, you have to be careful around this wolf!”

Hearing her, Colleen walked by her to the kitchen. She felt her cheeks a little warm, and she was so flustered at Saint's sight. As she got near him, she reached out with her hand, giving him a fierce pinch to the hip!

”Hey!”

Saint took the pain of the pinch, and stretched out his hand without hesitation. As if taking revenge, he reached out and grabbed Colleen's thin waist. Through her thin clothes, he squeezed it rather heavily. Feeling her soft waist, his heart couldn't help but tremble!

Colleen's eyes widened sharply, and she turned her head in guilt looking at Lorna who was luckily looking away. With both hands she pushed Saint while twisting her waist, escaping his grip. Then, she tightened her grip, raising it to warn him.

Saint didn't care about her warning, smiling, and then lifting his right hand, deliberately putting his hand under his nose, sniffing it to provoke her. His expression was indescribable!

Colleen who was both angry and shy tried to reward him furious fist, only to see Lorna coming back again to pick up the boiled beef pot. As if nothing happened, she walked out with her to the table.
