Chapter 257: His Bree is Back

It was a beautiful April morning in Crestview City.

The sun was warm, the air was fresh, and everything felt alive. Even the greenery outside the complex looked vibrant and Aubrey eased the bedroom door open and slipped out, clicking it shut behind her as quietly as possible.

She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and headed straight for the kitchen.

His bowl was packed with meat, and she’d even topped it with two fried eggs.

“Careful, don’t take such a big bite! It’s hot,” Aubrey said, her voice laced with worry.

He lowered the noodles back toward the bowl. “I know. I’m just letting it cool down for a second.”

Aubrey stayed quiet, her eyes locked on him as he ate.

He took a huge bite of the noodles and chewed. A grin spread across his face, one he couldn’t hide even if he wanted to. He no as he swallowed. “Bree,” he said softly, “you’ve really improved. The noodles are actually cooked through and have a nice bite. broth is great. The meat is done, and the eggs are… definitely well–done.”

Aubrey felt a surge of pride at the compliment, but she caught the subtext in his voice. “Are the meat and eggs overcooked?” Not at all. It’s delicious.” He looked back down and went back to shoveling the noodles into his mouth.

He made it look like the best meal in the world.

She picked up her own chopsticks and started to eat.

The noodles, the meat, and the eggs were definitely cooked, but they were also definitely overdone. The noodles were a bit m he eggs were slightly charred, and the meat was tough. It wasn’t bad, per se, but it wasn’t anywhere near as good as Damon’s cooking.

It’s fine,” Aubrey said, her voice steady and calm. “If I get pregnant, I’ll keep it.”

Damon froze. He just stared at her, speechless.

Aubrey was still the same Aubrey. Her body and her face hadn’t changed at all–she was still just as gorgeous and tempting as ever. Her voice was the same, too, sounding like absolute magic. Even her personality remained unchanged: quiet, reserved, and steady

Aubrey turned to look at him. “Damon, I see your colleagues being interviewed on the news all the time, but I never see you.
