Douglas' words made Martha's whole body freeze.
She was completely unsure whether the meaning of this sentence was what she thought.
For Martha, Douglas at this moment made her very at a loss. For a moment, she didn't even know whether she should be presumptuous and think in a bold direction.
She wanted it, but didn't dare.
The spoon stirred the rice in the bowl into a mess. Martha took a deep breath, then raised her eyes again and looked at Douglas.
She said, "Mr. Torres, let's eat first. The food is getting cold."
Douglas saw her fleeing and didn't force her.
He picked up a piece of beef and tasted it. Sure enough, the dish was not only very good in appearance, but also tasted first-class.
Douglas said, "If I knew you had such a good cooking skill, I would have let you show it earlier."
Martha said, "Do you still feel that I came to you on purpose to compete with you?"
"I lost," Douglas said. "You hid deep enough to tell me now that you have the skills."
As Martha heard this, she became tensed instantly.
Looking at Douglas a little helplessly, she asked, "Mr. Torres, are you blaming me?"
It was wrong for Martha to conceal, whether it was concealing her identity or her cooking skills.
So, whether people said she was sensitive or hypocritical, she really thought a lot because of Douglas' words.
For a moment, there was some tension on her expression.
Douglas looked at her expression and sighed secretly in his heart.
After all, in the past seven years, she did suppress herself, so that she was so sensitive after being known by him.
Douglas never wanted to hurt Martha, but in this situation, it seemed that no matter what he said or did, he was hurting her.
This feeling was very bad. At least in Douglas' opinion, he didn't want to have so many scruples about talking with Martha.
Douglas said, "I don't mean anything else. Don't think too much about it."
Martha nodded and said, "I know."
Although that was what she said, who knew if she will think too much?
Douglas was very helpless, but in the end he couldn't bear to be tough on her.
He said, "Okay, if you don't eat anymore, it will really be cold, and your good cooking skills will be wasted."
Martha nodded, and didn't say anything else, but suppressed her emotions.
Neither of them said anything more, but focused on eating.
Douglas was very face-saving, and ate two-thirds of the ten dishes on the table.
Martha was really very happy that Douglas was satisfied with those dishes. In an instant, all her emotions were gone.
Now, she was only full of happiness and moved.
Douglas put down the fork, looked at an empty plate, and said, "How about it? Enough to support your cause."
"Thank you, Mr. Torres," said Martha, not hiding her happiness at all.
She stood up and said, "I'm going to tidy up. Mr. Torres, you can rest."
Douglas also stood up and said, "You have made so many dishes, but I have to ask you to tidy it up. Am I being too inconsiderate?"
Martha was a little dazed, looked at Douglas, but was held by his hand. She walked to the living room, and pressed on the sofa.
Douglas said, "Sit here and wait for me. When I get tidied up, let's go for a walk."
He really needed to move and digest properly.
His stretched stomach was already making him very uncomfortable.
If he didn't digest it, his stomach might explode.
Martha sat on the sofa obediently. In fact, she really wanted to help. However, Douglas asked her to sit, so she sat obediently.
