Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 

“Nothing.” Aurelia immediately turned around a hint of blush on her face. 

“What can I help with?” 

“Cook the spaghetti.” 

Aurelia handed two packages of spaghetti to Leslie. 

Leslie didn’t say anything, turned around, and started cooking. 

Aurelia opened the refrigerator to prepare today’s dishes: clam chowder, shrimp scampi with asparagus, and smoked barbecue ribs. 

After getting the ingredients, she found that the refrigerator was almost empty. She couldn’t help muttering, “I need to restock groceries again.” 

At that moment, the water behind her stopped. She immediately closed the refrigerator door, ready to take over Leslie’s place to wash the vegetables. 

However, just as she turned around, Leslie also happened to turn around, and the two of them collided directly in the small kitchen. 

“Ouch!” Aurelia’s forehead bumped heavily into Leslie’s chest. The asparagus her hand fell to the ground.

“How do you manage to bump into things all the time?” 

Aurelia was speechless. 

She bit her lip. Only after meeting Leslie, she seemed to be constantly in trouble. 

But she didn’t dare to say that. She just said, “I’m sorry,” and bent down to pick up the ingredients on the ground. 

Leslie reached out and stopped her, then handed her the spaghetti. 

“Stand still.” 

Aurelia was about to ask what was going on when she saw the tall and upright Leslie crouching 

down. 

He picked up the shrimp one by one, discreetly dusting off the ice that had fallen out of the bag to the side. 

That’s when she noticed quite a few ice cubes had scattered on the floor right by her feet. She might have ended up on her back if she had accidentally stepped on them earlier. 

Aurelia gratefully withdrew her gaze and saw the spaghetti in her hand. 

She could tell at a glance that Leslie had indeed cooked the spaghetti perfectly. 

Suddenly, she felt a mixture of emotions. 

She remembered a time before when Seth had come to her house for dinner. Afraid that her mother would be too tired, she had decided to cook herself. Seth leaned against the kitchen door, talking about their future married life.

At that time, she had really thought Seth wanted to marry her. Otherwise, who would incessantly discuss scenarios from their future? She casually handed the spaghetti to Seth with a smile, offering him a sneak peek of their future married life. 

At that moment, Seth’s face flashed with a hint of awkwardness. But he quickly smiled and said he was highly honored. 

She didn’t think much of his awkwardness at the time, thinking it was only natural for a man to help with household chores. However, she didn’t expect that when Seth handed her the spaghetti, it was barely cooked. Clearly, it was purely perfunctory. 

Seth even said he had never done it before and didn’t know how. 

He said it as if it were a matter of course, forgetting that he had once said his family were in an average financial situation. As he had to do everything himself from a young age, he would never let her suffer in the future. 

At that time, she and Seth were in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. So she instinctively found an excuse for him and didn’t think too deeply about it. 

Well, she admitted she was quite naive. Looking back, that reason seemed ridiculous. 

In contrast, Leslie, who had faced tough times with Linda since young, always took her seriously. 

“All done,” Leslie got up and placed the shrimp back into the dish.
