Chapter 57 Doing sthats no need to skip, guys (1/2)

Mei Li could only wave goodbye and leave the place hurriedly. She prayed for the safety of Jeremy.

You are so brave, Jeremy. Good luck. Jia you. Ganbatte.

Ryn took out the keys and unlocked the gate and the door. She was aware how cold Jeremy's eyes were. Obviously, he was mad when she came home late. And also, the fact that she disconnected the call earlier.

”Do you know what time is it?”

She simply dropped her bag on the floor and walked to the kitchen. Her throat felt dry.

He followed behind her. He was still waiting for her answer, still fuming seeing how she was ignoring him the whole time.

”Catherine!”

She put down the glass she was drinking and finally looked at him. She cocked an eyebrow.

”For someone who is trying to woo me, you are acting like you own me.”

Jeremy rubbed his face in frustration. He needed to control his temper better when he was facing her. But how could he? His jealousy clouded his mind and he could not think rationally anymore.

Ryn made hot cocoa for them. She brought the mugs to the dining table with Jeremy following behind.he

”Ryn, I don't want to... to force you with anything but you have to understand. I love you so much. The more you delay confirming our relationship, the more I am scared that.. that I will lose you. I feel like going crazy not knowing what happen to you.”

”Drink your cocoa,” she mumbled, not even replying to his heartfelt confession.

”Catherine.”

”Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook something for you?” she stood back and prepared to go back to the kitchen.

”Ryn~”

She paused and turned to look at him with a smile.

”Talking while being hungry will make you emotional. Let's fill your stomach before we start talking.”

He could not say anything against that. He was famished, actually. He could not eat while fretting over Ryn being 'stolen' by someone else.

It took her no time to make fried noddle. She brought two bowls to the dining table, then, went back into the kitchen to retrieve utensils and hot sauce.

”Why can't we talk now?”

”Because you will get angrier easily when you are hungry. Eat the noddle.”

Slowly he took the chopsticks and started to shovel the noddle into his mouth.

”Eat slowly. I will not run. This is my home.”

He slowed down the pace. But because he was hungry, the bowl went empty in just seconds. Wordlessly, Ryn pushed her bowl toward him. He took it and cleaned it in no time.
