It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 777

The autumn breeze came, and the slight chill in the air snapped Belinda out of her trance. She suddenly realized that ordinary people lived a simple but happy life. She could tell from the smiles on the faces of the people around her that watching a movie together was enough to cheer them up. Actually, the simplicity brought a different kind of happiness.

Belinda and Duke went to the cinema in their own cars, so they had to drive back separately. Duke followed Belinda's car at a close distance. He usually drove fast, but this time, he slowed down to keep with her pace and drove at a speed that he normally looked down on.

Belinda parked the car in the garage and rushed towards the house without waiting for Duke. She was starving because she hadn't had supper yet. She made a beeline for the kitchen, intending to prepare some food for herself. But she was dumbfounded when she arrived at the kitchen. The appliances were so complicated that she had no idea where to start.

"What are you doing?" Duke asked in confusion. He became curious when he saw Belinda get off her car and run inside without waiting for him, so he followed her into the kitchen.

"I want to cook something for myself." Belinda answered without turning around. She opened the refrigerator to look for food. There was a lot of food inside, but unfortunately, she didn't know how to cook any of them.

"You haven't had supper yet?" Duke asked with a frown. Belinda never ate a midnight snack. She couldn't have had dinner yet. Otherwise, she wouldn't want to cook something for herself.

Belinda hummed vaguely in response, letting her eyes settle upon the things in the refrigerator as she wondered how to cook them.

"Why didn't you tell me at the beginning? Do you know how to cook?" Duke rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen.

"No, I don't. But I don't think it would be too hard," Belinda grumbled, pursing her lips. She turned to Duke and looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes.

"Just go upstairs and take a hot bath. I'll make you some noodles," Duke said. He took some eggs, ham, and tomatoes from the refrigerator and walked towards the kitchen counter. He started skillfully slicing the tomatoes.

"Duke, are you telling me you can cook?" Belinda's jaw went slack as her eyes widened at his movements. It never occurred to her that Duke could cook. After all, he was born with a silver spoon. Why did he learn to cook? Even women seldom cooked nowadays.

"It's easy to cook noodles." He washed the pot, turned on the gas cooker, added oil... He did everything so smoothly that it became evident that it wasn't his first time to cook. Belinda rubbed her eyes with her hand, not believing what she was seeing.

"It's not easy at all," Belinda murmured. People said that a man buried in work was attractive. But for her, a man focused on cooking was even more attractive. Knowing how to cook was an attractive quality in a man.

"Hand me the noodles." Duke fried an egg and put it on a plate. Then he added water to another pot and covered it with the lid. Fried eggs tasted better than boiled eggs.

"Wait, let me look for the noodles." Belinda began to search for noodles in the fridge. She had eaten noodles many times before, but she had never seen the packaging. As a result, it was quite difficult for her to locate the noodles among so many foods in the fridge.

"Never mind." Duke shook his head in resignation and walked up to her. Belinda was an able woman in business, but when it came to cooking, she was completely helpless.

"Sorry." Belinda made a face and stuck out her tongue at Duke. She had never cooked before, so she was at a loss with what to do in the face of all the ingredients in the kitchen.

"How did you even survive all these years?" Duke asked as he took the noodles from the top layer of the fridge. He gave her a teasing smile before he went back to the gas stove.
