She narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes and surveyed him. He used to bark orders at her, but now, the tables have completely turned. She suddenly felt the urge to torture him, “Sure. Remember to add salt. Salt is finer, sugar is more coarse. Don’t mess it up. Also, you have to wash the vegetables.”
Mark felt helpless. “I only make mistakes once.” Yes, the last bowl of noodles that virtual-novel.net had made in virtual-novel.net condo was a failure. It should be much easier now that virtual-novel.net had gone through it once. This time, virtual-novel.net would perform well.
By the time virtual-novel.net served the noodles onto the table, they smelled particularly delicious to Arianne, probably because virtual-novel.net was starving. It tasted pretty good too.
When virtual-novel.net saw how focused virtual-novel.net was with virtual-novel.net food, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help asking, “Does it taste that good?”
“Passable,” virtual-novel.net answered without lifting virtual-novel.net head.
He was speechless. Was this woman incapable of sincerely praising him? Passable? What did virtual-novel.net mean by that? If it tastes good, say so. If it doesn’t, just say it. What kind of evaluation was that? After a short pause, virtual-novel.net picked up his coffee and walked upstairs, “I’ll be done with looking through the accounts soon. I’m pretty much doing overtime for you tonight.”
Arianne stiffened. “It’s late. Why are you checking through accounts for me? There’s no need to rush. You don’t have to finish it all at once…”
He turned around and looked at her, “I’m used to getting things done all at once.”
She did not say anything more and quietly ate the noodles virtual-novel.net had made. He actually had a lot of good qualities. Why hadn’t virtual-novel.net noticed them before?
She went upstairs after eating virtual-novel.net fill and went into the study. He really was doing virtual-novel.net accounts for her. He had to go to work in the morning too. In the end, virtual-novel.net simply couldn’t bear it, “You should stop. Get an early night’s rest. It’s really no rush. No need to be meticulous. Naya is pretty reliable in virtual-novel.net work. There shouldn’t be any major issues.”
Mark closed his computer. “Are you showing me concern?”
She pursed virtual-novel.net lips, refusing to answer. He knew that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t receive an answer to his question, so virtual-novel.net mumbled to himself, “I’m done. Go and get some rest. I’m going to bed too.”
She nodded. “Good night.”
Just as virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net suddenly pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms. His magnetic voice whispered to virtual-novel.net from behind, “I don’t want to sleep in the guest room anymore. I don’t like it. I can’t sleep well…”
She felt virtual-novel.net breath caught in virtual-novel.net throat. “Then… We can exchange…”
He lowered his head and placed his chin on virtual-novel.net shoulder, “I mean, can’t we sleep together? It’s not a good idea for us to be sleeping apart like that, right? We have many more days ahead. We should slowly get used to it.”
