Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 353

Neil halted and then turned to look at me. “Any problems? I’m making lunch for you.”

“Hold your horses!” I voiced out again to stop him. I’ll never forget how he almost burned down the kitchen back at Sapphire River Community.

I really didn’t want my apartment to suffer the same fate.

Neil was holding a kitchen knife; his tall figure in my small kitchen seemed quite out of place.

The funniest part was that he was actually wearing my apron, which was obviously too small for him; it looked quite hilarious.

“Come on, get out.” I gestured for him to leave.

Neil walked out a bit confused as I took the knife from his hand. “I appreciate your good intentions, but my kitchen can’t handle it. You’re not gifted at cooking, so don’t force it. You’re just not cut out for it.”

Hearing this, Neil seemed to remember his kitchen fire incident, and his face stiffened a bit. He had been successful in many things in his life; he was pretty much a smooth operator in everything, but his cooking was a disaster.

He grumbled, “What if you get pregnant in the future?”

I didn’t get his point and looked at him puzzled.

“It’s said that when a woman is pregnant, it’s best if the husband can cook. Whatever she craves, he makes.” Neil’s serious face made me even more confused.

I couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you get this information?”
