Chapter 20
After tasting the pasta, Leslie surprisingly felt his stomach rumble with hunger.
He thought that Aurelia, being a materialistic woman, wouldn’t be good at cooking. But actually, her cooking was quite good.
After finishing the pasta, Aurelia took the dishes back to the kitchen and then poured a glass of water for Leslie.
“Take the pill first, then have a sip of cough syrup before bed. Don’t drink water for half an hour after the syrup, or it won’t work. That should help you sleep more comfortably tonight.
“Alright.”
Leslie paused as he looked at the pill and warm water handed to him. He seemed lost in thought.
While drinking water, he took a moment to glance at Aurelia. She was smiling softly, making her look really amiable.
She then said. “Mr. Synder, go to bed early after taking the medicine. Work is important, but not as important as your health”
After saying this, she realized she might have spoken too much. She quickly changed the subject and said. “I’m going to wash the dishes”
She then headed into the kitchen.
After taking the medicine. Leslie walked to the kitchen doorway. He looked at her busy figu thoughtfully and then turned around.
When Aurelia finished washing the dishes and came out with a cloth to wipe the table, she found that Leslie had already cleaned it. The napkins she had scattered around while eating. were now neatly placed at the comer of the table.
Right then, she found herself thinking more highly of Leslie.
Although he was cold and somewhat distant towards her, his manners and upbringing were impeccable. This made her feel less tense around him. She even chatted a bit more freely.
She remembered when Seth came to her house for a meal. He left the napkins he used to wipe his mouth on the table, expecting someone else to pick them up. Even though it was such a simple task to do by himself.
Thinking of Seth, Aurelia immediately shook her head. She thought, “What bad luck!”
She went to her room to grab clothes for a shower. But when she entered the bathroom, she slapped her forehead. She had forgotten to remind Leslie about fixing the shower.
“I’ll definitely have to tell him tomorrow,” she thought.
For now, Aurelia had no choice but to shower with cold water.
The next morning, Aurelia got up to make breakfast. Thinking of Leslie being sick, she decided to cook all the porridge she had bought. Of course, she couldn’t let Linda find out that Leslie
had gotten sick under her “care.”
Her smile was so genuine that Leslie found himself stopped in his tracks. A few seconds later, he realized that he had actually been distracted by a woman.
