The following day, Fiona didn't stir until around nine. After a quick freshen-up, she stumbled downstairs, still wrapped in a sleepy haze. Man, she was tired. Her eyelids felt like they weighed a ton until she caught sight of a slender young man in the kitchen, rocking an apron and busy cooking away. Her sleepiness vanished in an instant!
The young man wore a white long-sleeved shirt and grey trousers with a black apron tied at his waist. Despite his lean build, he had a surprisingly toned physique, muscles subtly outlined under his loose clothes. Hearing Fiona's footsteps, he glanced over at her.
The cool light from the wall lamp illuminated him, highlighting his pale yet serene features. His neat short hair framed a pair of sharp, striking eyebrows. When he lifted his single eyelids, faint creases appeared, and the light sparkled in his eyes, giving him an intense, almost mysterious vibe.
Suddenly wide awake, Fiona realized she hadn't recognized him in her sleepy state. It wasn't until he spoke, "Ms. Fiona," that she remembered he was the guy she had brought back from the sanatorium the day before.
Jeez. He really was a looker. Facing someone like him every day would be a real test for her flirtatious side.
Tyler, oblivious to her thoughts, emerged from the kitchen with a plate. "I wasn't sure what you’d like, Ms. Fiona, so I whipped up a few things."
He’d prepared a spread of Western breakfast staples since he wasn't familiar with Chinese cooking. Pancakes, oatmeal, muffins, toast—you name it, it was there.
Fiona speared a pancake with her fork, taking a bite that filled her mouth with delicious flavors—a perfect blend of sweetness without being heavy. "Wow, you’re quite the chef," she said, thoroughly enjoying the meal, cheeks puffed out with satisfaction.
Tyler watched her anxiously but relaxed when he saw her genuine enjoyment. "If you like it, I’ll make it for you every day."
