A Moment in Destiny

When she reached the stairs, she saw that the study room’s light was still on. Sylvie walked over, it was already past 11 p.m., but he was still busy.

The study room’s door was tightly closed, Sylvie stood outside, not entering, after pondering for a bit, she went downstairs. Sure enough, the stuff she had bought was heaped on the doorstep, and the sofa was a mess.

Thinking about the hot scene that happened on the sofa just now, Sylvie’s face flushed red. She hurried over to tidy up the clothes that were strewn on the floor and put them in the laundry room. She put the clothes that would crumble easily into the laundry bag, zipped them up, and put them into the washing machine, and started washing.

She then went back to start clearing up the stuff on the doorstep. It was almost midnight, she would like to cook something for supper, she was a little hungry!

When she was busying herself in the kitchen, she suddenly raised her head to see Marley.

He was standing by the door, leaning on the doorframe, looking at her, his gaze intense. “What are you cooking?”

Sylvie’s gaze accidentally flickered to the unfastened button on his shirt, she was looking at his firm chest which was partially visible. His deep, cold eyes were staring at her sharply, Sylvie’s heart exploded, and her little face suddenly flushed red. In her distress, she stuttered, “I, I’m making supper.”

Finishing her words, she didn’t dare to meet his intense gaze. She lowered her head and looked at her toes. Looking at the image on her slippers, she was extremely cautious.

After two times of passion, she realized she felt slightly embarrassed to face him.

At that moment, she was wearing her pajamas, her hair in a messy ponytail, donning a floral apron, she looked both natural and homey. He stood at the doorway looking at her, he felt that this kind of normal life was actually not too bad!

“Smells good!” He said while walking over. He had come down after hearing sounds from the laundry room.

“You, have you not been eating?” Sylvie gave a small smile, a little surprised.

“Yeah!” Marley shot her a smile, he rarely smiled, but he was smiling at her now. It felt strange, but he looked good when he smiled, the corner of his lips raised, revealing a few teeth, added together with his dark and sharp looks, he looked good no matter how she looked at him.

Looking at his smile, it always looked a little playful. His eyes were big and filled with depth, if he was a child, he would be like a doll when he smiled. She wondered how beautiful his kids would be in the future. She hadn’t been on birth control, would she have his kids?

Her thoughts wandered off for a moment, she didn’t know why she suddenly thought of all these. Sylvie busied herself stirring the porridge in the pot. “Porridge would be ready in a minute!”

“You’re so good at cooking, who did you learn it from?” Marley suddenly spoke again.

“My neighbor!” She said softly.

When she was young, Sadie hadn’t taken care of her, she was always busy socializing, dating guys, and she always didn’t have fixed meals. Her neighbor was a chef in a factory, cooking often. She was a good kid when she was young, even though Sadie wasn’t so good to her, the neighbors were kind to her because she was a good kid. The neighbor would give her some food when he cooked, after a while, she learned cooking from him. But when she was in the first year of high school, he passed away, and she was extremely sad then.

Thinking of him, her eyes dimmed, she thought of going to his grave for a visit, and tidy up the grave for him.
