Sophia peered at Zach in doubt, showing her worry, “Hey…Don’t burn my idol’s kitchen, okay? You don’t have to show off when you can’t cook. Take it easy, okay? I won’t laugh at you…”
She was babbling, which made Zach want to seal her mouth with his kiss. But he couldn’t do it since Elena and Logan were seeing them. So he made her sit on the couch and said, “Stop, okay?” Then he walked back to the kitchen.
Elena spread her hands, “Come on, let him cook. If he fails, we can order takeout.”
Zach yelled, “Believe me, Elena. I won’t fail and we won’t end up eating takeout tonight!”
Elena raised her eyebrows, “Alright. We’ll wait and see.”
Logan smiled, “Take it easy. He can cook. And not bad.”
Sophia felt even more confused. He might be different from what she thought he was. Reflecting on how he cleaned the floor up, she couldn’t help being surprised.
Facing her doubt, he proved himself by taking action. He took all the ingredients left in the fridge and started to cook.
An hour later, he made four dishes and one soup. She breathed in the mouth-watering aromas from the meal, which made her even hungrier.
Zach smiled at her with pride, “Hey, how is it?”
Sophia didn’t want to admit how tasty the food looked, “I…I haven’t had a try! No hurry!”
Logan put some food on Elena’s plate. She had a try and felt so surprised; it was awesome!
“How is it?” Sophia looked at her.
Elena smiled, putting some food on her plate, “I think you should try.”
Sophia thought it might be awful so that Elena didn’t want to tell. Hence she looked painful, unwilling to try.
Elena giggled, “Hey, just have a try. Don’t look so painful, it’s not torturing.”
“It tastes terrible, doesn’t it?”
“Just have a try.”
Sophia was hesitating. But Elena insisted to let her try, so she ate it. But the next second, she felt so surprised as Elena felt just now!
“You made it?” Sophia couldn’t believe it.
Zach looked away with pride, “Don’t be surprised. It’s just a piece of cake for me.”
“Don’t flatter yourself!” She grumbled. But she couldn’t stop eating the food. It was so delicious!
She was devouring the food. Zach reminded, “Easy. Take them slowly. Or you’ll get a tummy ache. Hey, have some soup.”
It took him quite a while to make the chicken soup for better flavor. Sophia drank two bowls!
After a big meal, Elena felt that she was full and said, “I think I get fatter.”
Though she didn’t weigh herself on the scale, she just felt it. It seemed that her face was getting chubbier.
Logan pinched her face and made fun of her, “Yes, you do.”
Hearing his words, she was so upset.
Zach was so good at sweet talks. He said to Elena, “You are not fat! Look at you, much prettier! You look wonderful with a chubbier face!”
Elena peered at him, still upset, “Are you really trying to comfort me?”
