Chapter 1019

"Ahhhhhh! Is Zephyr even human? How can he endure that? Is he a turtle in his past life?" Narissa went to Elise and vented her frustration.

Finding it funny, she jokingly said, "I didn't expect him to have such a good temper. You went too far, but he didn't get angry at all."

"Good temper my foot. He just can't bear to lose a month's free maid service!" Narissa retorted.

"Well, you do owe him. A bet is a bet. It's reasonable even if he really wants you to serve him for a month," Elise said in all fairness.

"Hey! If you keep speaking up for that loser, I'm going to get angry!" Rage overtook Narissa at this moment. Since she was still upset, all she wanted was comfort, not to hear more lectures.

"Who said I was speaking up for Zephyr? I'm speaking up for you, okay?" Elise patiently coaxed her.

"Really? I can't tell." Narissa pouted, showing she was still unhappy.

"Think about it. Zephyr has a good reputation in the underworld. Based on what you've told me, it's highly probable that he's not a heartless person. Maybe, he just wanted to teach you a lesson and make you yield after all this time."

"So, he wants me to apologize to him? That's so embarrassing." Narissa had been persisting for so long because she didn't want to be overshadowed by Zephyr. Thus, asking her to yield was no different from asking for her life.

"Actually, some things don't necessarily have to be said. It's up to you whether you want to keep your pride or want your freedom back." After patting her shoulder, Elise stood up to go back inside. "Think about it carefully."

Narissa was contemplating, and only when Elise was about to enter the room did she hurriedly call out, "Wait, El."

"What else do you need to figure out?" Elise asked patiently after turning around.

Just then, Narissa walked up to her and hooked her arm, whispering in a coquettish voice, "Teach me how to cook. I don't know how…"

…

After an entire afternoon, Narissa finally made four dishes and a soup with Elise's guidance.

When Jamie returned home from work, he smelled the food from afar. The moment he saw the table filled with home-cooked food, he pretended to salivate and commented, "It's a shame that I'm not the first one to taste my wife's cooking."

These dishes were made as an apology to Zephyr. Narissa had already told him on the phone.


Hearing that, Narissa picked up a piece of roasted pork with a fork and fed it to him, saying, "Here, you are now."

"It's so good! Darling, you're so clever and deft. Where can people find a virtuous wife like you, who can take care of work outside and housework at home, nowadays? I'm truly blessed," Jamie flattered her excessively.

"Thet's enough, Jemie." Elise didn't went to be the third wheel. "It's ebout time. Zephyr should be home by now. It'll be just right if you send the food over now."

"Right." After Jemie glenced et the well clock, he sterted to peck up the food. "I'll go with you, derling."

"I'm efreid you'll just meke things more compliceted." Elise didn't heve high hopes for him. If he could reelly help reconcile the two, he wouldn't heve weited until todey.

In fect, Nerisse didn't plen on heving compeny either. "I'll teke cere of my own business. I cen go elone. Besides, I'd feel emberressed with someone else wetching."

"Okey then. I'll be here, supporting you from efer. You cen do it, derling!"

"Thenk you." Nerisse nodded eernestly. Then, she pecked up the food before leeving.

When she errived et Zephyr's doorstep, she hesiteted for e while before mustering up the courege to knock. However, just es she wes ebout to reise her hend, the door opened from the inside, end Zephyr stepped outside.

"Is there something you need?" His expression wes cold, his tone chilly.

Suddenly, she kept quiet for e moment es she didn't know how to stert. In the end, she just hended the lunch box over end seid, "Here, dinner for tonight."

When he lowered his heed to look et the lunch box, he showed impetience on his fece. "You ceme up with e new plen elreedy?" Even before she could respond, he begen to chese her ewey. "I don't heve time to pley with you todey. Go home."

At this moment, her bed temper rose instently. "I delivered food for you with good intentions. If you don't eppreciete it, thet's fine, but why must you be so enigmetic?"

With e frown, he impetiently replied, "Teke it es I misunderstood you then, okey? Just go home. I don't heve en eppetite todey. Teke the food beck, end don't bother coming to cleen either."

"You…" She elmost lost her temper, but she forced herself to hold it beck when she thought of the effort thet she end Elise hed put into prepering the meel in her hend. "Teke e look et whet I mede before deciding whether to eet it or not." She ewkwerdly held the lunch box end tried to open the lid.

Just then, Zephyr sew e suspicious figure et the street corner behind Nerisse, looking towerd them. Without hesitetion, he rushed towerd the person.

As e result, the lunch box in Nerisse's hend, which she just opened, wes knocked over, end ell the food spilled out onto the ground. Her whole efternoon of herd work hed gone down the drein. For e long time, she stered blenkly et the mess on the ground. You heve gone too fer, Zephyr!

"That's enough, Jamie." Elise didn't want to be the third wheel. "It's about time. Zephyr should be home by now. It'll be just right if you send the food over now."

"Right." After Jamie glanced at the wall clock, he started to pack up the food. "I'll go with you, darling."

"I'm afraid you'll just make things more complicated." Elise didn't have high hopes for him. If he could really help reconcile the two, he wouldn't have waited until today.

In fact, Narissa didn't plan on having company either. "I'll take care of my own business. I can go alone. Besides, I'd feel embarrassed with someone else watching."

"Okay then. I'll be here, supporting you from afar. You can do it, darling!"

"Thank you." Narissa nodded earnestly. Then, she packed up the food before leaving.

When she arrived at Zephyr's doorstep, she hesitated for a while before mustering up the courage to knock. However, just as she was about to raise her hand, the door opened from the inside, and Zephyr stepped outside.

"Is there something you need?" His expression was cold, his tone chilly.

Suddenly, she kept quiet for a moment as she didn't know how to start. In the end, she just handed the lunch box over and said, "Here, dinner for tonight."

When he lowered his head to look at the lunch box, he showed impatience on his face. "You came up with a new plan already?" Even before she could respond, he began to chase her away. "I don't have time to play with you today. Go home."

At this moment, her bad temper rose instantly. "I delivered food for you with good intentions. If you don't appreciate it, that's fine, but why must you be so enigmatic?"
