Chapter 101 Rare Warmth

It’s her? She’s cooking? Is it to thank me for sparing Felix?

As the thought crossed his mind, Nicholas felt inexplicably disappointed, but then he quickly dismissed that thought and comforted himself. You have to learn to be content, Nicholas. No matter the reason, it’s good enough when this moment is what you want.

He lightened his footsteps and walked toward Nancy, who happened to be turning around.

Seeing Nicholas appear before her and so close at that, she jumped in shock.

She was a split second away from shouting when Nicholas reached out and embraced her, holding her securely in his arms.

“Did I scare you?” Nicholas asked.

“Yeah. Nancy nodded, quietly slipping out of his embrace. “Why did you walk so quietly?”

Nicholas had originally wanted to say, “You were too focused. That’s why you didn’t notice me coming in. However, when he saw her pouting and her big, clear eyes, his heart softened, and he replied, “Yes, it’s all my fault.”

Upon hearing this, Nancy felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said, “Go wash your hands; I’ve finished cooking.”

“Okay.”

Soon, a table of dishes was served. The main course was steak and pasta, accompanied by some other side dishes.

“Steak and pasta?” Nicholas asked with some surprise.

Nancy nodded. “Yeah, I thought you liked it.”

Actually, she had told a fib. She had originally intended to cook some local dishes, but when she searched for recipes, she found that there were too many side dishes to prepare and various unfamiliar spices were needed. In contrast, preparing steak only required a quick sear. They had professional kitchen tools at home, and the seasoning packets already came pre-mixed, so making that was much easier.

As the dishes were placed on the table and the lighting highlighted the vibrant colors of the steak, Nancy looked at the table with a sense of accomplishment.

“Would you like some red wine?” Nancy offered.

“Sure.” Nicholas nodded.
