Aaron had canceled all his social engagements to spend more time with Katrina at home. Unexpectedly, she called him earlier to say that she"s going to meet her best friend for dinner, leaving him a little depressed.When he hears the door open, his eyes light up. Despite his happiness, he remains stoic and asks sullenly, "Finished with dinner?"
The question makes Katrina feel like she"s being berated by her husband for coming home late. Despite her annoyance at the tone, she nods. "Yeah, all done. Why, you ask?" An irritated voice added to her words.
Remembering Aaron"s words during their phone conversation, she didn"t drink any alcohol and came home as soon as dinner was over. "I didn"t come home late, why does he look so unhappy? I quickly decided to return home after he called!"
Aaron turns off the TV and says loudly, "I"m hungry! Can you please cook for me,"
Katrina blinks in surprise. "Didn"t Randy prepare dinner for you tonight?" "Aaron has personal chefs in the villa, why didn"t Randy arrange for his dinner? Why hasn"t he had his dinner?"
Aaron shoots her a look and whines, "I don"t have an appet.i.te when you"re not here! I went back home earlier only to find out you went out for dinner,"
Randy had arranged a big dinner for Aaron earlier. But while Aaron was sitting at the table on his own, his mood quickly turned sour. He criticized the vegetables for being too salty and the meat for being too greasy. Despite the quality of the food, he barely took a few bites before telling Randy to take the dishes away.
Knowing Aaron was deliberately finding fault with the food because he missed Katrina, Randy cleared the table without a word.
Now that Katrina is finally home, Aaron begins to feel hungry.
The words render Katrina momentarily speechless. "How could he have no appet.i.te without me? How did he survive before we met? This is really ridiculous!"
No matter how excellent he seems, he"s actually a petulant child, she thinks in exasperation. I just went out to have dinner with my best friend, but he"s acting as if I met up with an ex-boyfriend! His jealousy is unbelievable! He is really insane!
She responds patiently, "What do you want to eat? I"ll ask the chef to cook it for you."
"I want to eat the food you are going to cook for me!" He said in a sulking voice.
Katrina stares at him in disbelief. I just got home after a long day! How could he ask me to cook for him? What are his chefs, highly paid decorations? What"s wrong with this devil tonight, acting so weird!" She thought silently.
With a sigh, she says, "After the chef prepares the meal, I"ll accompany you for dinner." If he can"t eat without me, I"ll sit with him while he has dinner. He should be happy with that!
But Aaron says in a serious tone, "Either I have your cooking for dinner, or I have you. It"s up to you." If she doesn"t want to cook for me, I"ll have her for dinner instead! Even she felt mad at me. I won"t let her pa.s.s!
Katrina immediately freezes and turns red. "What an unreasonable man!" She shoots him a glare and puts her bag on the sofa, going to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Aaron.
Aaron trails behind Katrina and leans against the door, watching her wear an ap.r.o.n and busy herself in the kitchen.
After being abandoned at home for her best friend, Aaron will only feel better after Katrina cooks dinner for him. I never thought I"d care so much about a woman that I"d get jealous of her best friend.
Aaron can"t control his possessiveness. He always wanted her to be around.
Katrina has long grown used to Aaron"s gaze. He always watches me whenever I cook. He has a group of world-cla.s.s chefs who can make him all kinds of dishes, how could he enjoy watching me cook for him? She wonders, ignoring his stares as she works in the kitchen.
"Aaron, the noodles are ready!" Katrina calls, pouring the simple tomato and egg noodles into a bowl. When she turns to ask Aaron to carry the bowl to the dining room, she b.u.mps into something.
Apparently, Aaron has been standing behind her for a while. Aaron snakes his arm around her slender waist and bends down to give her a soft kiss. "Honey, thank you for making dinner for me!"
Watching Katrina prepare dinner for him makes him so happy, he can"t help kissing her. He imagined her moving around the kitchen, cooking food for their family in the future.
Melting into the kiss, Katrina snaps out of her daze and pushes Aaron away in embarra.s.sment and annoyance. "Are you eating it or not? I"ll feed it to Beta if you don"t want it!"
I already made him dinner! What is he kissing me for? She looks at the bowl of noodles with a frown. Is he not hungry anymore?
Aaron releases Katrina reluctantly and replies with a smile, "Just having my appetizer." s.h.i.+fting his eyes from her face to the noodles, he puts the bowl on a tray and carries the steaming noodles into the dining room.
Even though I have top-notch chefs, no amount of delicacy can compare to her cooking, he thinks, happily devouring the simple bowl of noodles.
Soon, the bowl is empty, and Aaron"s stomach is full and warm.
Katrina inwardly sighs with relief when Aaron"s mood improves. He looks gentle again. He looks so handsome when he is in a good mood. No woman will not love this kind of devil.
When Katrina had a sprained ankle, Aaron used it as an excuse to make her live with him. He had doted on her and carried her around the villa when she needed to go somewhere. But as soon as her ankle healed, he started bullying her again. He kissed her every morning.
The memory annoys her a lot. What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
