Chapter 10
+25 Bonus
Worried Nick might get too hungry, Khloe had originally planned four dishes and a soup, but forcibly cut it down to three.
A small stir-fried beef dish to go with rice, asparagus with king oyster mushrooms, and one savory tomato and scrambled eggs.
They were the simplest home-style dishes. Khloe made them with ease, and Nick always sho appreciation, finishing everything on his plate.
In Nick’s heart, Khloe’s cooking was the best in the world.
No Michelin chef at home could compare. No restaurant could even come close.
He didn’t need to say these things out loud-she could already feel them.
Khloe had never been this confident before.
So this was what it felt like to be given complete security: a person could become this joyful, this full of life.
It really was as the saying went: You won’t die without love, but loving someone makes you come alive.
“Eat more,” she urged. “Didn’t you say outside food isn’t as good as what I make? Today’s version is low oil and low salt-healthy.”
Seeing that Nick was picking up his fork more cautiously than usual, Khloe had to take matters into her own hands and pile food onto his plate.
Only when his plate was heaped full did he finally protest.
“That’s enough. If I keep eating like this, I’ll really get a middle-aged belly.”
“You won’t get a middle-aged belly,” Khloe laughed. “You’re Nick Hunt.”
His serious tone always sounded like dry humor.
