He had taken the initiative to say that which filled my heart with warmth.
I turned to him and shook my head. "The master bedroom is yours. You take it."
"Okay, since that's the case, I won't push you anymore. You sleep in the guest room. Although it's a bit small, it has all the necessities." Marius obviously did not hold back with me.
He was treating me like how he usually did, and even the occasional humor was just right. He was trying to make me smile.
However, the problem in my heart lingered.
Before I knew it, it was nighttime.
I opened the refrigerator, thinking about making dinner as a thank-you. Just when I was taking out a few tomatoes, Marius snatched them. "What are you doing, Sis Wan? I'll take care of this kind of stuff."
"You?" I glanced at him. I never knew he could cook. "Is the food you cook edible?"
Marius was displeased when he heard this. He patted his chest. "I’ll show you."
After saying that, he asked me to sit in the living room and wait ten minutes for him.
Although I was a little worried, he insisted on doing it, so I did not say anything more.
Not long after, the aroma of vegetables reached my nose.
I got up and went to the kitchen. I looked at the four dishes on the table—scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour fish, some vegetables, and beef bone soup. They all looked delicious.
"Not bad."
Marius smiled, his expression smug. "Come taste my work quickly."
After taking a seat, he served me a plate of rice. I tasted the eggs first, and they were good. Then, I worked up the courage to try the fish. "It’s quite delicious." However, the taste…
I paused. "Drover taught you, right?"
"You’re good." Marius looked at me, and there was a slight 'sharpness' in his words.
I smiled lightly. "It's pretty good."
Marius looked at me and said deeply, "It hasn’t been easy, but you finally laughed."
