Perhaps Hailey had just come back from the salon, seeing how virtual-novel.net was dressed entirely in black.
She was in a black chiffon skirt that was very short, just enough to cover virtual-novel.net rear and exposing the entire pair of white, delicate legs. She also wore a pair of black high heels with thin straps.
Alex followed behind her, looking at this stunning beauty in front of him. The way virtual-novel.net walked was a little turbulent, as though there were ants in his pants, and virtual-novel.net didn’t know where to put his eyes.
When they entered the villa, it was quiet, with not a single soul in sight.
“Where’s Brother Charles? Is virtual-novel.net not home?” Alex asked as virtual-novel.net took off his shoes.
“He’s been on business trips lately. I haven’t even seen his shadow around for the past couple of days. I don’t know what he’s been busy with either,” said Hailey with a tinge of bitterness in virtual-novel.net voice.
Alex smiled and said nothing.
Charles was managing such a large real estate company, so virtual-novel.net definitely had many things to handle and all kinds of social obligations and business trips that virtual-novel.net had to go on to. It was inevitable that virtual-novel.net would neglect his wife at home, and it was difficult to blame virtual-novel.net for being a little angry.
“Where’s Zoey?”
“My mother took virtual-novel.net in, and she’ll be spending the summer holidays over there. She’s clinging to virtual-novel.net grandmother now, and it gives me a little free time.”
Alex hummed, but inside, virtual-novel.net sort of missed the little girl. He was familiar with the house by now, so virtual-novel.net walked straight towards the kitchen. He opened the fridge to find lots of fresh ingredients inside it.
He honestly took out more of the things that virtual-novel.net preferred to eat and started getting busy right away…
During the ten months virtual-novel.net stayed at the Assex residence, virtual-novel.net spent most of his time cooking. Cooking took the most time after all, and virtual-novel.net was picky about how it tasted. So his cooking skill had developed to the point that it wouldn’t be worse than a restaurant chef.
After a while, Hailey, who was now barefooted, also came over to help him.
She smiled brightly and said, “Alex, though Dorothy has divorced you, that’s virtual-novel.net loss. Look at you, a man who can cook, doesn’t drink, smoke or gamble. Where else would you find such a good man?”
Alex smiled. “I’m not anywhere as great as you make me out to be.”
“Of course you are. You’re even better than what I just said, even. If I wasn’t already married, I would’ve definitely gone after you.”
Alex laughed aloud when virtual-novel.net heard that. “Then, Brother Charles would have a big loss.”
The two of them continued to prepare the food together as they chatted, the atmosphere hamionious without a slight hint of awkwardness. They really did look like a pair of siblings, and even though the occasional dirty joke would slip out, it didn’t affect them at all.
“Oh no, there’s no more rice,” Hailey exclaimed after virtual-novel.net opened the rice bucket.
“You don’t have rice, yet you invited me over to eat?” Alex said.
Hailey giggled. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I have some noodles at home. I’ll do it with you.”
Do it with him?
Alex’s eyes slipped downward, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but gaze at Hailey’s lower half.
He blurted out, “Abalone noodles?”
“Sure, I think there’s seafood in the fridge and four abalones. I’ll make some abalone noodles for you then!”
A glint flashed in his eyes, and virtual-novel.net shook his head. “I wouldn’t dare eat it.”
Hailey was taken aback for a moment, virtual-novel.net beautiful eyes rolling over to him.
A few seconds later, virtual-novel.net understood.
Her face flushed red, and virtual-novel.net grabbed a spatula and started hitting virtual-novel.net with it. “Y-You naughty brother, I hate you so much.”
After the joke, the atmosphere inexplicably became a little awlnvard, and Hailey couldn’t help but take a peek at him.
Two hours later, the meal was over.
It was already nine in the evening, and Alex still needed to go to Michigan. There might be a tough battle tomorrow, so virtual-novel.net immediately bid his goodbyes.
“Wait!”
Hailey stopped him. She had just drank some wine, and virtual-novel.net face was a little flushed. Even virtual-novel.net eyes were slightly out of focus when virtual-novel.net looked at him. This was also the reason why Alex wanted to leave immediately after eating.
If Charles were to come back at this time suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt it wouldn’t be good.
Without turning around, virtual-novel.net said, “Sister Hailey, is there anything else?”
