Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 426

I went back to the living room and asked Nicholas, “Why is there only so little food here? Is there something else?”

“I guess not. I live here alone. As you know, not many men know how to cook. I usually order takeout or I'll eat outside. But I don't think there will be any takeout service at this hour.”

Nicholas shrugged helplessly.

Heaving a sigh, I dragged my feet back to the kitchen. I figured I could whip up a bowl of noodles.

Even though that might sound a little too simple for someone like him, the most important thing now was to fill his stomach. I was somewhat relieved as it did not take long to cook a bowl of noodles. All I wanted was to fulfill my obligation and go home right after that.

After I was done preparing the dish, I brought it over to Nicholas.

If it wasn't for the fact that he got beaten up for me, I doubt I would be willing to cook for him. After all, it was awkward for me to do so based on our current relationship.

Seeing the bowl of noodles in my hand, Nicholas raised his brows. But he did not seem to be disdained by it.

“It smells nice. I bet it's delicious.”

He flashed me a gentle smile before picking up his fork to eat.

“Enjoy. I'll clean up and leave once you're done.”

“You only cooked one portion. You have not eaten dinner too, right? Aren't you hungry?”

He was puzzled to see me not eating anything.

“I'm not hungry.”

After all that happened earlier, I no longer had any appetite.

“You look unhappy. Is it because of Michael?”

Nicholas paused after eating a few bites.

“I don't want to talk about it tonight. I'm exhausted.”

I knew that I would get emotional again if I mentioned Michael. Hence, I chose not to touch on the topic.

“Okay. I won't mention it if you don't like it.”

He did not press further on the topic. He simply lowered his head and continued digging in.

Probably due to the fact that he was actually famished, he finished the bowl of noodles in the blink of an eye.

After cleaning up, I grabbed my coat, preparing to leave.

Yet, at that moment, Nicholas grabbed my hand. I was forced to turn around and face him, only to see that he was looking at me with a profound expression.

I did not know why but I felt extremely awkward. I shook off his grip and tried to keep the distance between us.

“Is there anything else?”
