Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1511
Joan found herself unable to peel her eyes away from Larry, whose focused comportment made him even more dashing.
The twinkling, bright eyes that adorned his chiseled visage complimented his arched nose and slightly pursed lips. At that moment, she felt like she would do anything and everything for that man.
“Don’t just stand there. Come have a seat.”
Larry barely gave her any time to daydream and called out to her.
“Coming!”
Having said that, she hurriedly washed her hands and walked to the dinner table. Then, she sized the dishes up.
Upon her first glance at the table, she gulped nervously.
Larry, who was ever so thoughtful, had prepared four different dishes and a soup for her. This should be… pumpkin soup, right? Yeah… I think so. Although its color looked odd, Joan was sure it was pumpkin soup.
Hmm… I guess the plate of sauteed mushrooms looks rather appetizing. And this must be… mashed potatoes? The color looks a little funny though… Now, this is… mac and cheese with bacon bits? Or is that beef?
Joan was unable to determine the ingredients of that dish.
Wait! What the hell is this? Why is it all dark and burnt?
Joan briefly scanned the table and weighed her options.
It seemed like the sauteed mushrooms were the only dish that was edible, while the others looked rather venomous.
Nah… The worst thing that could happen is that the food tastes bad. I’m sure it’s not poisonous…
“Quick. Try them. This is my first time cooking, so I hope you don’t mind.”
Larry looked up at her in anticipation.
With the sacrifices Larry had made for her, Joan found it difficult to reject him.
She plucked up the courage and slowly reached out for the sauteed mushrooms.
Gasp!
Joan picked up a piece of mushroom and put it in her mouth. After the first bite, she sneezed. These mushrooms are nice, just way too salty…
“How’s it? Good?”
