After being stunned for a while, Freya gave Ryan a thumbs up in admiration. “As expected of Young Master Ryan. Even the hotpot you eat is of high class and quality. I’m so lucky to be able to have this.”
“And so?”
Ryan looked up with his dark eyes that were filled with amusement. “You said you were going to treat me to a meal when I helped you last time. Yet, I’m the one treating you now. Say, how many meals do you owe me?”
“You can take note of it. It’s hard for me to move around now, but I’ll return those favors slowly after I recover.”
Freya had felt pressured in the past. However, perhaps it was because she owed Ryan too many favors that she eventually did not feel pressured about it anymore.
Then, she eagerly took her spoon and continued scooping more vegetables from the hotpot.
Ryan blocked her spoon.
“What?” Freya glared at him with her big eyes, which looked as if they were whining. “ Stopping someone from getting good food is more despicable than standing in the way of someone’s future.”
“Eldest Young Lady Lynch, please stay still. The doctor told you to minimize your movements. What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.” Ryan scooped a slice of beef from the hotpot and placed it in her bowl. He reminded her, “Eat slowly. Don’t get scalded.”
After that, Freya only had to hold her fork and eat. She realized that Ryan’s skills in cooking meat were excellent. He estimated the time perfectly, and the meat was not too soft or too hard.
That meal made Freya understand that the timing of cooking the ingredients was important.
After having her fill, she could not help but glance at Ryan, who was eating beside her.
Both of them had the same hotpot, but the corners of his mouth were clean without even an oil stain. His beautifully curved lips were slightly red from the spiciness, but the redder they were, the more they brought out the fairness of his skin. He was good-looking under the light. It looked as if he was shining.
Freya drank a sip of milk and suddenly sighed. “ Ryan, you’re such a good person. There should be many girls outside who like you, right?”
“Mm.” Ryan was absorbed in scooping the ingredients. The sound produced from his nasal cavity sounded like it was a matter of course.
“What type of girls do you like? I’m really curious how your future wife will look,” Freya asked. She was gossipy and curious.
After Ryan finished his rice, he put down his spoon and smiled. “Not only are there many girls who like me. There are many guys who like me too.”
The milk in Freya’s mouth spurted out, and she quickly reached for the tissues on the table.
