Chapter 410
Loretta still felt as though she were dreaming.
Her grandson-the one who had been quiet to the point of dullness since childhood, cold, rigid, and inflexible- turned out to be, deep down, a man of astonishing tenderness.
She had once worried that Nick’s lack of romance and his aloof, monotonous nature might end up wronging a good girl.
Now, seeing the young couple so openly affectionate, she finally felt at ease.
After resting for a few minutes, Khloe hurried into the kitchen to start cooking with the help.
Nick had wanted to follow her in, but Leon was particularly clingy today and came out of the guest room, insisting on finishing the news commentary he hadn’t yet explained to him.
Even so, halfway through Khloe’s cooking, Nick still wandered over to her side.
He restrained the urge to wrap his arms around her the moment he saw her from behind, and instead quietly helped carry dishes.
“Don’t just stand there. Aren’t you tired? Go sit down and rest for a bit,” Khloe urged him while keeping an eye on the heat.
As she spoke, Nick’s hand gently brushed her temple. The thin layer of sweat there made his brow crease immediately.
Arista had been watching their every move. Seeing Nick hovering so closely around Khloe, she tied on an apron and came over to help.
“Oh, you don’t have to. I’m almost done,” Khloe said quickly.
She wasn’t cooking alone anyway; there were the help beside her, and everything was nearly finished.
“Alright, Khloe. You’ve already done all the main dishes. I’ll handle the rest,” Arista said with a laugh. Honestly, I’m just feeling sorry for someone here-someone who’s so worried about his wife he’s practically about to cry.”
Her teasing finally made Nick a little embarrassed.
“Mom,” he murmured.
Just that single word made Arista’s heart soften. She waved her hand, and Nick promptly dragged Khloe away.
