Chapter 67 You Were Taking Advantage of Her
“By the way, you’ve known each other, right?” Anna asked as she looked at Wayne and then at Scott. “Do you want me to introduce you to each other again?”
“No, thanks,” Wayne said with a hint of jealousy in his tone while looking at Scott with a meaningful look. “Your future boyfriend has introduced himself to me just now.”
Anna was stunned. She turned around, glared at Scott, and asked, “What did you say to him? Don’t talk nonsense anymore.”
Frowning, Scott was dissatisfied when hearing her words but only dared to mutter under his breath, “It was not nonsense. I was telling the truth.”
“This is my younger brother,” Anna explained to Wayne, “He is a violinist. But now he is jobless.”
“So you have to support him now,” Wayne said and cast a scornful glance at Scott.
“I don’t need Anna to support me. I just live here temporarily, and I will get a job soon,” Scott retorted and glared back.
“I hope so,” Anna glanced at him and said helplessly. “I’m going to the kitchen to prepare lunch. You guys feel free to talk.”
When Scott was about to explain that he was not penniless and could earn his living, Wayne had gone into the kitchen with the food bags on the ground.
“What are you doing?” Anna caught up with him. “I’ll help you with cooking,” Wayne said naturally. Then the two of them entered the kitchen one after the other.
Scott stood there in a daze for a few seconds before he came to himself. Then he frowned and walked quickly toward the kitchen too. “I’ll help you too.”
“The kitchen is not big enough. You don’t have to help me here. Go play with Tammy,” Anna said and then closed the glass door of the kitchen.
Scott was a little annoyed. “Don’t always treat me as a child.”
After he knocked at the door for a long time, Anna finally opened the door and stuffed a bag of bean sprouts into his arms. “Okay. Then as an adult, you may help me trim them.”
After saying that, she closed the door again.
“What?” Scott was looked at the whole bag of bean sprouts in his arms, helpless and speechless. He meant that he wanted Anna to treat him as her boyfriend rather than her younger brother. However, Anna misunderstood what he meant.
Then he glanced at Wayne and thought, That guy inust be laughing at me in his heart!
When Wayne, who was washing tomatoes by the sink, saw Anna close the door of the kitchen, he was in a better mood and the displeasure caused by Scott before disappeared all of a sudden. Even he himself was surprised by such a change in his emotions.
“Let me do it myself. You are my guest today. You may go out to have a rest in the living room,” Anna said in embarrassment when seeing Wayne wash the tomatoes.
Points
Wayne put two washed tomatoes on the cutting board and said leisurely. “It’s okay. I’d like to help you.”
“Well, thank you.” Anna didn’t say anything more. After cutting up the vegetables, Wayne didn’t go out but still stayed in the kitchen.
Anna was confused and asked, “Why don’t you go out? When I cook, there will be a lot of fumes.”
“Didn’t you say that you would teach me how to cook?” “You mean you want me to teach you now?” Anna asked in surprise.
I offered to teach him how to cook when I lived in Kingsford Neighborhood, but at that time he didn‘t seem to be interested in it at all. Why does he suddenly want to learn to cook today?
“Yes,” Wayne said.
As soon as she finished speaking, she put the chopped scallions, sliced gingers, and garlic into the pot. Then a sizzling sound came from the pot
Wayne quickiy held her waist with one hand to stop her from falling. Then he asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
“…. I’m okay,” Anna stammered and swallowed. At the same time, her heart was beating faster,
With her waist being held by Wayne, she looked up at his handsome face and was fascinated by him. The two of them were so close that she could smell the faint smell of cologne on his body.
