Chapter 1722
Anthony turned around when he heard footsteps behind him.
Upon seeing it was Charmine, his gaze softened. "Ah, you're back. Are you tired?"
"No." Charmine walked over and saw the nicely plated dish. The sight tingled her with warmth.
Beef, duck, mushroom, and noodles—all her favorites.
"Get some rest,” said Anthony, "it’ll be ready soon."
Gazing at his handsome side-profile, Charmine asked, "Why did you cook?"
Did she not promise him she would cook for him for three days?
Anthony turned to look at her, and his expression softened." You had a long day. Why would I want you to cook after coming home?"
Meeting his sweet-tempered gaze, Charmine paused. The feeling she had at that moment felt warm and cozy.
She repressed her emotions, however, and asked, her expression distant, "Is there something I can help with?"
"No," said Anthony, "you may go out and get some rest."
Charmine did not insist on the matter as she turned and walked out.
She accompanied Chris and rested in the front yard for a moment before Anthony came out with the pot and dishes. " Dinner's ready."
Chris grabbed Charmine's hand. "Mommy, the food is ready!"
"Okay."
The night breeze was calming, and the clear moon hung on the clear night skies.
Outside the bamboo house, the flow of the stream chorused with the occasional sound of crickets.
At the yard of the bamboo house, the family of three sat under the tree. Warmth and affection filled the atmosphere.
Anthony placed raw ingredients into the pot they had brought out. Once the water began to boil, he took them out and placed them into Charmine's bowl.
"Have more."
