The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1239

Upon hearing Cassie's words, Nick thought she was just making too big of a fuss. All he did was cut himself while preparing food in the kitchen—was it necessary to be so concerned? However, seeing the worried expression on her face and considering what she had done for him, Nick felt warmth surge through him.

Without saying anything, he merely ended up nodding.

After dealing with his wound, Cassie suddenly realized that she was acting like she was taking care of her beloved. The thought made redness creep into her cheeks.

Of course, she was used to fulfilling a nurse's duty at the hospital—it was second nature to her to look after the wounded. The difference was that this time, she was facing a certain Prince Charming. Such a situation required far more attention and caution.

The continuous sound of boiling water broke the silent tension between them. Both were taken by surprise when they realized the noodles were ready.

As Nick was about to attend to the food, Cassie stopped him. "Why don't you just sit down and rest? I'll go take care of it."

Quickening her pace, she practically sprinted to the kitchen.

As she continued the breakfast preparations, she was so focused on moving skillfully and proficiently that she didn't even notice that Nick stood by the door, watching her every move.

After the noodles were readied, Cassie split everything into two sets and prepared the table.

In front of them were meals of tasty sparerib tomato soup with fresh noodles and a layer of green onions sprinkled tastefully over them to complete the delicious cuisine.

Appreciating the dish in front of him, Nick never thought that he had the talent for cooking. Surprisingly, he made the simple noodles taste spectacular. As he ate, he guessed that Cassie added in some special flavor that elevated the dish.

After finishing the noodles, Nick made sure to drink the soup, licking his lips to further relish the flavor.

"Hah!" When Cassie saw him behave like a glutton, she couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing her chuckle, Nick realized how awkward he had just behaved. Suddenly, his cheeks turned as red as the tomato soup.

"Well…

I just don't want to waste such delicious food…" he murmured in embarrassment.

After a moment, Cassie smiled and pushed her own bowl toward him. "Here. It's yours, if you don't mind. I'm already full."

Acting on instinct, Cassie herself didn't know why she offered him her noodles. When she realized what she just did, she started blushing as well.

'What was I thinking? It's so embarrassing to offer him my unfinished noodles!'

Feeling the shame overcome her, she wished she could find a hole to disappear in to escape Nick's eyes. However, what happened next astonished her to the point of disbelief.

After a few silent seconds, Nick merely took the bowl and started eating out of it with his chopsticks without a word.

Seeing this, Cassie began flipping inside, her face increasingly flushing for every bite he took.

Somehow, it was so intriguing to watch him eat up her dish. Why did he seem so comfortable doing so?

Did he not realize that it was her leftover? Did he not mind finishing other girls' food?

At that moment, Cassie almost felt dizzy as her heartbeat sped up. Her breathing seemed stuttered because of her excessive nervousness and excitement.
