“No, Mommy.” Jack opened the refrigerator with great effort, stood on tiptoe to take out the food inside, looked back at her and said, “Mommy, you go and rest, just give me fifteen minutes.”
“Fifteen minutes?”
Alice wrinkled her eyebrows and walked in.
“What can you do in fifteen minutes?”
“Noodles, Mommy.”
Alice was silent for a while, “I will help you.”
Jack thought for a while and nodded.
“Ok.”
So they cooked a pot of noodles together, but Jack almost made it alone, because Jack was good and he did learn from Yanis.
He was skillful, though he needed to stand on the chair.
Then they filled two bowls of noodles and sat down at the table.
Alice looked at the bowl of noodles which smelt good and felt gratified.
It was an amazing feeling for her. Jack could cook for her noodles now.
Jack took the lead, picked up the chopsticks and put a small bite into his mouth, but his lip was scalded. He was scared and quickly put noodles back into the bowl.
“Be careful, don't be in such a hurry.” Alice took a look at him and wiped the soup on his lips with tissue, “There are only two of us, no one will rob from you.”
Hearing that, Jack blinked his eyes awkwardly, “Mommy, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to taste it.”
Of course, Alice knew that he was not intentional, because she had high requirements for Jack since childhood, coupled with he was his son, so Jack had been eating slowly and elegantly and she did not need to teach him.
He had good nature and guidance.
“I know, even if you cooked it yourself, slow down”
“Ok.”
Alice ate the first mouthful of noodles and found it was quite good. It was almost good as Yanis’.
She looked at Jack in surprise, “You...”
“Mommy, is it good?”
Alice nodded and could not believe it was made by her son.
“What special sauce did you put in?”
“Didn't you see it?”
Alice had been with him in the kitchen. Jack did not put any special sauce, but the heat and taste were just right.
Alice happily smiled, “You have grown up.”
After eating, Alice went to wash the dishes, and then asked Jack to go upstairs to take a bath. Jack agreed.
Alice finished cleaning and was ready to take a bath upstairs. But Yanis had not yet showed up.
She wondered what happened. Yanis came to Zain after work.
And she had not come back yet.
Originally Alice didn't want to disturb her, but after thinking, she felt she needed to text Yanis.
Shortly after the message was sent, Yanis replied.
{Alice, success or failure is at stake, don't affect me}
Success or failure is at stake?
Seeing that, Alice was confused and thought of that Yanis said she would drug Zain another day, so she unconsciously wrinkled her eyebrows.
{Are really going to drug my brother?}
{What nonsense are you talking about? Even if I really want to, I dare not. I just have a meal with him, well, I am so embarrassed. }
