Zephyr went home that day, only to find Cordelia getting busy in the kitchen.
He had been so busy with work the whole day that his lunch had been simply a bite before he had started going through several important documents. It was not until everything had ended in the afternoon that he had felt his empty stomach and churning pain.
He had said that he’d had gastritis in the past to get Cordelia’s attention, not expecting it to really happen!
The moment Zephyr stepped inside, he smelled the delicious aroma in the house and instantly began starving.
When he saw the girl cooking for him, he smiled even more in contentment.
Ordinary activities and a life like this was what he had liked the most back in Jangasas.
Zephyr put down what he was holding and removed his jacket. He was about to go to the kitchen when Cordelia came out with a plate of braised fish.
“You’re back!” The girl walked over to him sunnily.
Zephyr paused. He did not know if it was a man’s sixth sense, but he thought her smile was a little off today.
“I gave Aunt Helen the day off.” Cordelia served the dishes one after another. There was also soup. Her bright eyes seemed to be smiling. “I made everything tonight. They are all your favorites!”
Zephyr smiled and sat at the table.
Cordelia gave him a plate and a bowl of soup. It was pumpkin soup, which he had hated in the past, but he had liked it since meeting her.
She had also made garlic lobster. The braised fish looked amazing as well, totally drool-worthy.
It seemed like it had been a long time since they had been so relaxed.
Zephyr smiled and picked up his plate to extend it forward naturally, waiting for Cordelia to give him the fish eye. She had told him before that the fish eye was meant for the person one loved the most.
However, Cordelia did not move. He looked up to see a half-smile on her face…
Zephyr’s heart lurched, and he quietly put his plate back down.
“Eat up,” Cordelia said softly. “The dishes won’t be nice when they go cold.”
