Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 It's my turn to protect you

Douglas heard this and looked at Martha. It was very rare for Martha to have such a delicate appearance.

Douglas immediately blamed himself. What did he do in the past seven years, and what did he bring to Martha?

It was clear that she was not a stuffy and boring girl, but for the past seven years, she had disguised herself as that kind of person.

Douglas felt a strong heartache.

Martha didn't hear Douglas' answer, so she looked up at him, meeting his complex eyes.

In his eyes, she saw too much distress, which made her dazed for a moment.

She started to have random thoughts uncontrollably again, making her wonder if what she was thinking was correct, but she couldn't control herself at all.

Martha was inexplicably nervous. She wanted to ask about many things, but she couldn't.

She just looked at Douglas, hoping, at least before she lost his composure, that Douglas could give her a good answer.

However, no.

Nothing at all.

Douglas just looked at her like this for a long time, and said, "Let's eat. I happen to be hungry too."

For so many dishes, even if a chef was invited to cook, it still took some effort, not to mention Martha who didn't cook often.

In addition to the injury on her finger, it was conceivable that she put in much effort on cooking those.

Douglas was not willing to let her down.

He can perceive the reason why Martha cooked these.

In this way, Douglas didn't want to disappoint Martha even more.

Martha nodded and said, "Go and wash your hands first. I'll serve the meal."

Douglas responded, then went to the table and sat down.

Martha's cooking skills were very good, and every dish was delicious.

Just looking at the dishes was enough to arouse Douglas' appetite.

In fact, he came back after dinner, and it was rare for him to go home, so he was naturally kept.

He didn't expect that he would see those dishes when he came back. Otherwise, he would have come back early to prevent Martha from waiting for him.

Martha quickly came over with two bowls of rice and sat down opposite Douglas.

She said, "During this time, you have been cooking for me. Today I will let you taste the food I cook."

Douglas looked at Martha. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. And he was pretending to be relaxed and teased, "Do you want to compete with me?"

Martha tilted her head and said, "If you think about it that way, it's not impossible."

Douglas said, "You have already won."

Martha was amused by his words, and a little embarrassed.

The tips of her ears turned red. She looked down and used the spoon to stir the rice in the bowl, and her tone was full of coquettish anger, "Don't say that about me."

Douglas' eyes flashed with a stream of light. Martha in this appearance was very agile, like a little girl who had been praised, so cute.

Inexplicably, he really wanted to hide this girl in his own world, to prevent anyone from discovering her, and not to let anyone covet her. This beauty was only cherished by him alone.

Such emotions surged up, but in fact there was no need to ask more. Douglas knew exactly what he wanted.

Douglas laughed lowly and said, "What should I say? Should I give you a candy? Or give you a flower?"

Martha frowned and said, "Actually, I'm allergic to hay fever, so I might not be able to afford the flower."

Mentioning this, Martha felt a little lonely.
