Nora hurriedly looked away, “Yeah…pretty much.”
She blushed and the redness went all the way from the root of her ears to her neck. Fortunately, Kingsley was still looking at the plate with fresh shrimps and said, “And then what?”
“Just leave it here, I’ll handle it myself.” Nora tied her hair up. She felt kind of guilty and her voice was low.
Kingsley looked at her mother outside of the kitchen and felt that he would not be able to get out, so he picked up a piece of ginger and asked, “Should I cut this?”
Nora noticed that he looked serious, so she said, “Sure, you can also cut and peel garlic by the way.” But after saying that, she asked with uncertainty, “Do you know how to do it?”
“Barely.”
After she put the soup vegetables on the plate, she glanced at Kingsley, who was still cutting the ginger, and she lost in thought. This was the person she had been in love with and longed for many years. Now her dream came true that they were cooking together.
But why was she still sad?
At the dinner table, Nora had everything prepared, and then invited Anna and Kingsley for dinner.
Anna ate a piece of sweet potato and complimented, “I tried this dish in the Northeast more than 20 years ago. You just recreated the exactly same taste as the local.”
Nora bent shyly.
Anna was getting more satisfied with Nora. She felt that marrying Nora was the best decision Kingsley had ever made. She scooped up a spoonful of soup happily and praised, “Nora is not only beautiful but also cooked well. It’s lucky that Kingsley is able to have you as his wife!”
Kingsley sweated and felt embarrassed.
Nora was even more embarrassed, “Ah, mom, don’t praise me like that, I would be shy.”
“I’m just being honest.” Anna was in a good mood and said, “Kingsley, peel a shrimp for Nora. She has worked so hard. Don’t just serve yourself with food.”
Kingsley hesitated for a moment. No way, his mother asked him to peel the shrimp for Nora. Shouldn’t Nora be the person to peel the shrimp and serve it to his mouth, saying sweetly, “Eat some shrimps, my dear. I peeled it for you!”
However, the reality was so different from his ideal. He dared not disobeyed his mother’s order, so he put a peeled shrimp in Nora’s bowl and said, “Here you go!”
Nora smiled, “Thank you!”
It was already late after dinner. Nora whispered to Kingsley, “When do we leave?”
Anna’s ears were sharp, so she heard everything at once, “Don’t leave, just stay here. The guest rooms are tidied, waiting for you two to be back. Nora, your pajamas from last time are still there!”
Nora understood at once what Anna was planning: she wanted Nora to sleep in the same room with Kingsley.
Anna had already continued to talk before Nora had the chance to say anything, “Nora, you must have sweated a lot after cooking in the kitchen. I’ll bring you some clothes, and you now go take a shower.”
“No mom, I can find the clothes by myself.” Nora had no other choice but to get up and follow Anna to another room.
Kingsley went to the study because he had to deal with his business in the company.
As soon as he turned on the laptop and sent out an email, the door was opened. Anna came in with a cup of tea, “Kingsley, I made you a cup of tea.”
Kingsley hurriedly took the cup and said patiently, “Mom, go take some rest. I still have something to deal with.”
Anna answered, “Alright. But I have to watch you drink the tea first.”
Kingsley took a sip and frowned, “It tastes weird, what kind of tea is it?”
“The tuber Onion tea!”
“Where did you get such a weird thing?”
“Hey, it’s not a weird thing.” Anna patted her son’s shoulder and asked, “Do you know its effect?”
Kingsley asked confusedly, “What effect?”
“It profits your kidney!”
