Fall in Love with A Soldier novel Chapter 32

An hour later, they put their dished on the table.

Elizabeth made stir-fried beef with coriander, while Hugo made a fish.

"It is called fish soup!" Hugo raised mouth corners lightly.

Elizabeth looked at Hugo in surprise and took her dish to in the front of her.

"We change." Hugo put his own dish to Elizabeth.

Then he took away Elizabeth's dish and picked up his chopsticks.

"Delicious!" Hugo praised with a thumbs-up.

Elizabeth pursed her lips, picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of fish into her mouth.

She rolled her eyes, chewed slowly and looked up at Hugo in disbelief.

"What's the matter? Don't like it?" Asked Hugo worriedly.

Elizabeth shook her head, “No...You cook like a chef in a hotel. Your cooking is...Great!"

She was just a little ashamed of herself. He was a man but he cooked better food than her, a woman who cooked every day.

"Thank you for your praise!" laughed Hugo in a good humor.

"Do you often cook?" Elizabeth asked.

A slight shrug of shoulders in Hugo showed that he seldom cooked.

“It's a pity you're not a cook!” Elizabeth said jokingly.

Hugo smiled and replied, "I just do it as a hobby."

Cooking as a hobby?!

No wonder...

Elizabeth understood she cooked just to fill the stomach.

And Hugo cooked because of personal interests.

They were different.

"I'm not highly educated. I don't have your deep cultural interests..." Elizabeth bowed her head in blushing, and muttered softly.

Hugo thought he had made a mistake, and explained, "I didn't mean that... I just wanted to... be able to cook my wife and children their favorite dishes every day..."

As soon as his words fell, Elizabeth raised her head with sudden heartsick.

When they looked at each other, the atmosphere around was a little ambiguous.

Elizabeth then picked up the bowl and put rice into her mouth.

Seeing her shy appearance, Hugo could not help smiling.

After lunch, Elizabeth was ready to leave. "Thank you for your warm hospitality, I should go home. My brother might be worried about me!"

"Take the elevator straight to the eighth floor and it is your brother's house." Hugo said kindly.

Elizabeth was stunned and later said, “Here is..."

"Yes, I live in the same apartment building as your brother!" A smile showed on Hugo’s face.

Beam smiled shyly, “What a coincidence!"

"I was going to take you back to your brother's house last night, but if I did, you'd have to sleep on the couch. I didn't want you to sleep on the couch, so I had to carry you home. I hope you don't mind." Hugo explained in a polite way.

Elizabeth was overjoyed at that. She didn't mind of course. She was glad about that.

There was no denying that she was very fond of Hugo.

“Anyway, thank you very much for your attention! I am leaving now!"
