Chapter 102 Worried

Nicholas then took the grocery bags over from Jake and made his way into the kitchen.

Jake followed behind him and asked, “Wait… Nic, are you sure you can cook?”

“Duh! How else am I supposed to make lunch?” Nicholas replied casually.

“But I’ve never seen you cook!”

I was able to hear everything they said as I followed behind them. So I was right! Nicholas has never cooked anything for Jake! In that case, I must be insanely lucky to have him make me pasta last night! Damn, I should’ve taken a picture of it as a memento!

 

Nicholas then placed the ingredients on the kitchen counter and said, “You go wait outside, Jake. Scarlett should be coming over soon.”

Jake frowned when he saw Nicholas reach for the knife. “I think I should do the cooking instead. Don’t want your silky smooth hands getting all dirty now! Besides, it’d be bad if you accidentally cut yourself or something!”

 

I couldn’t help but chuckle at how nervous Jake was. I bet he must be Nicholas’ biggest fan!

Nicholas placed the knife down and let out a sigh. “I’m not a porcelain doll, Jake.”

Jake pouted. “But I’m worried about you!”

I decided it was time for me to step up and said, “Um, how about I do the cutting while Nicholas does the cooking? That way, it would still be his cooking, but without the risk of injuries! There, a win-win solution!”

“You?” Jake eyed me doubtfully from head to toe.

I nodded profusely in response and winked at Nicholas as I said, “Yup! Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to keep Nicholas away from the knives!”
