Chapter 594 To Start Over With You

Upon Martha’s reassuring words, Lysander felt a fleeting wave of anxiety about her own kitchen dissipate- as she leaned forward to peek inside. Everything appeared in order, allowing her to release the breath she didn’t realize she was holding.

Josiah found a small measure of solace in Martha’s encouraging comments and decided, “It’s getting quite late and there isn’t much food left. I think I’ll stop the lesson here lol

“All right then,” Martha responded as she neatly hung her apron back in its usual place. She added, “Mr. Guerra, these things take time; you need to learn them gradually.”

While Josiah was busy disposing of the spoiled dishes into the garbage bin, he replied, “No need, she won’t be going back just yet. She’s staying in the guest room next door; I’ve already given her a key.”

Lysander paused, her eyebrows arching in surprise. “She’s staying at your place?”
