Chapter 163 - Talking about love (1/2)
Kris did not know his bunch of weirdos was scheming behind his back. He went back to his apartment to clean his place. Since he was back, Lena would be coming back up for their daily therapy session.
Lena stopped by the grocery store again to buy more ramen and eggs. She opened her apartment door and was more alerted than usually. She does not know when a wild Kris would appear.
She put the bags on the counter and started to put them away. She put her dry food away first. She opened several cupboards... but cannot seem to find where Kris had put her other food. She opened the fridge, and there they all were, cuddling together in the cold refrigerator.
'DAMN YOU KRIS!' Lena took out the food and reorganized them all. She opened her bag of snacks and some of them went bad while some were still good. She will definitely make sure to charge Kris for this.
It was almost time for dinner and going to Kris' penthouse for their therapy session. Lena decided to cook and eat before going up. She took out the ingredients to make curry. She made sure to make plenty of rice too so she can eat this later as her midnight food.
Just as she was finished cooking, her cellphone rang. She turned off the stove and picked it up.
”Hello.”
”Hi. Did you eat yet?” Kris asked.
”No.”
”Great! I cooked dinner for Keso and us. Wanna join us?”
Lena looked at her pot of curry. She wondered why is cooking so much. Is he practicing cooking to make something for his mom? ”Sure. I made something too, it can be a potluck. I'll be up there soon.”
”Ok.”
Kris hung up the call. Lena packed her rice in a container and put the lid on the pot. She was sure Kris had plates since they ate this afternoon at his place.
She put the rice container in a bag and carried the pot of curry. She made sure to lock her door before going up the elevator.
She knocked on the door and Kris opened it. He was going to help her with her items but she carried them in herself. She slipped off her shoes and walked to the dining table where Keso was already eating.
She tilted her head and looked around the dining table. She plopped her pot of curry and rice on the table. She turned to Kris.
”This is what you cooked?”
”Yeah.” Kris smiled. He added an egg to the ramen today. It was an improvement from this morning.”
Lena could see that he looked proud. 'Calm down, Lena.. the child is practicing how to cook for his mom...' How should she word this so it does not sound harsh?
She cleared her throat. ”Kris... how much to you make a day?”
Kris looked at Lena then at the Ramen. He knew he was getting lectured. ”A lot...”
”How much is a pack of Ramen you bought?”
”....”
”The point is... if you want to make a good meal.. try less pre-package.. and more cooking.”
Lena sat down on a chair and tasted the ramen. She made sure to blow on it before eating so it would not irritate her lip.
She was able to cover the redness of it using lipstick before but they have worn out now. She sipped the broth and took a bite of the egg and smiled at Kris.
”At least you know how to boil an egg... I don't even know if my dad knows how to do that.”
