Sweet Addiction novel Chapter 25

"Hello."

"It's me." Irene's voice was still full of energy on the other side of the phone. Although she was not in a good mood, she should not affect others. This was one of her principles in doing things.

Aaron said in a soft voice, "I know it's you, what's wrong?"

"Nothing important. I want to ask you when you will be back. What would you like to eat? I can cook for you," Irene was getting used to being a married woman step by step.

Aaron had not had this kind of feeling of home for a long time. Someone who had cooked a meal said she was waiting for him to go home. This feeling let him feel very warm.

He ordered some dishes and Irene wrote them down on the other end of the phone. Before she hung up, she also said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Then Aaron hung up the phone, looked at the time and sped up.

When Aaron got home, the pleasant smell of the meal pacified many of his bad mood for Jessica.

"You're back!" Irene reached out her head from the kitchen and smiled at Aaron.

Jessica's delicate makeup irritated Aaron. Now when he saw Irene's face without any make-up, he was delighted.

After putting down his briefcase, he went back to the bedroom, put on his housecoat and then went to the kitchen to help Irene.

"Ah, you just come back from work and wait for dinner. I'm almost done."

Looking at Irene who was so sensible, Aaron couldn't help but hold her from behind. Compared with him, Irene was so small that seemed to be embedded in his arms, which just made up for his void in his heart.

Irene felt that Aaron's body and she was stiff all of a sudden. She moved a little forward secretly and pushed him with her elbow, saying, "Go to the sofa and wait for me. I'll be all right soon."

Aaron felt Irene's resistance, so he let go of her and kissed her hair, and said in a tender voice, "I'll set the table."

Irene was not nervous anymore. She took a deep breath.

Irene started to prepare after she hung up the phone. Yesterday she was in such a hurry. On the first day of her wedding, she was determined to let Aaron taste the food she made so that he wouldn't regret marrying her!

Then, they sat opposite to each other. Suddenly, Aaron thought of something and asked, "By the way, how is your day today?"

Irene's face fell when she heard this. She pouted her lips, took a bite of the rice in her bowl and said, "Don't mention it. The good places are too expensive, and the price is right but the location is not good."

When Aaron saw Irene's sad face, his heart softened. "I told Jackson about that today and he had a friend who wanted to sell his house at a low price. He said he could help us ask about it."

Irene's eyes lit up when she heard this. She grinned and said, "That's great! Let's go to see it tomorrow!"

Looking at Irene's exciting face, Aaron felt a little relieved and agreed.

Aaron thought to himself, 'When has Jackson become so inefficient? Why hasn't he replied to my phone call in the whole afternoon?'

After that, Irene went to wash the dishes. Then, Aaron went to the balcony and made a phone call to Jackson.

The speed which Jackson answered the phone was very fast, but his tone was not very nice. Aaron was curious and wondered who could influence the mood of this monk who had cultivated for many years.

"It's your wife's roommate." Jackson said in a more impolite tone

"Are you two in touch again?"

"It's a coincidence. She is here for an interview today."

Aaron raised his eyebrows. Gossip was gossip, but he didn't forget what he was going to do. He looked back at Irene, who was happily brushing the dishes while humming a song, "How is it going about the place of noodles restaurant?"
