Next One Is a Babe

Ian nodded. “Everything has gone well and it’s less tiring today. Maybe it’s because everyone’s cheerful that the atmosphere was lively.”

Cindy smiled and replied, “If I’m not wrong, the special guest today is a comedian. I’m sure with him around, you all must have felt more relaxed.”

He exclaimed, “You’re right. Out of all the shows that I have recently attended, this episode was the most relaxing one. The host was friendly and the guests were being nice.”

As he was speaking, she took out the dishes and placed them on the glazed countertop beside.

Ian understood what she was up to; he voluntarily went over to collect the dishes and left them on the dining table outside.

The two of them had now developed some sort of tacit understanding between them, so some of the actions could be understood without being expressed in words.

After Cindy had prepared two dishes, Aurora arrived.

As soon as Aurora stepped into the house, she inhaled deeply. “Yes, this is the smell that has been lacking. Cindy’s cooking is certainly special.”

Since Cindy was in the kitchen, she responded audibly, “I’ve made two dishes that you like. Please eat more later.”

Aurora glanced at the dishes on the table and remarked, “You are so considerate. You actually know that I like these two dishes.”

In fact, other than having great strength, Cindy was known for her attention to details.

She then continued cooking for a little while more in the kitchen and made two dishes that Ian liked to take care of the mother and son’s preferences.

When they could finally start their meal, Aurora went to grab two bottles of beer from the fridge. “Here you go! Since the two of you don’t have much to do today, let’s drink up.”

Although Ian seldom consumed alcohol, he still kept two bottles of beer in the fridge for Cindy to use whenever she cooked fish. As it turned out, the beers came in handy at that moment.

Cindy didn’t reject Aurora’s suggestion as she headed to the kitchen to get the glasses while Aurora opened the bottles and filled the beer mugs.

As it wasn’t a formal occasion that required them to say something beforehand, the three of them simply clinked their glasses against one another.

Although Cindy couldn’t hold her drink particularly well, she had previously verified it herself that she was still able to drink a bit. On top of that, since she was at home, she felt more open and relaxed.

On the contrary, Aurora’s alcohol tolerance was rather excellent, which caught Cindy by surprise. There were two bottles of beer in which Cindy shared one with Ian while Aurora finished the other one on her own.

Aurora even smacked her lips as she stared at the dishes on the table. “It’s really a waste not to have beer when the food is fantastic. You two wait for a while; I’ll go and get more beers.”

Much to Cindy’s surprise, Ian was especially amicable today as he didn’t stop Aurora from drinking. He even held Aurora’s arm and offered, “Sit for a while. I will get it.”

Aurora had annoyed the hell out of him when she was drunk the other time. Hence, Cindy figured that Ian would step in and stop Aurora when she said that she wanted to drink.
