Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

The idea of getting engaged delighted Callum. “Sure.” He nodded.

“But first, I need to heal Angie.” Her illness is not easy to treat. “I want to visit the black market in Konig’s underworld. Do you want to go with me?”

“Sure,” Callum responded with a smile.

Elspeth then went to bed to catch some rest. While she slept, she could feel someone staying by her side, gently caressing her face.

When she awoke the next morning, she felt revitalized. As she walked downstairs, she smelled the pleasant aroma of cooked rice.

“Callum?”

At that, Callum popped his head out of the kitchen. He looked at Elspeth who had just awoken and said smilingly, “I am cooking. It will be ready soon.”

Callum Winthrop is cooking! Elspeth was so surprised that she stared at him with wide eyes.

On the other hand, he was dressed in an apron while his face was smeared with flour and his hand clutching a ladle. He appeared exactly as if he were a stay-at-home husband.

“Callum, if you’re being forced into this, blink twice.”

Elspeth then went closer to him and began poking his cheeks.

“No one forced me.” Callum glared at her, his lips pursed before he continued, “I’m just concerned that you haven’t been eating well the last few days. Hence, I decided to cook for you.”

Elspeth’s body shook at the mention of food. “You’re wrong, then. Jordan made me eat big portions every day so I could be ready for the surgery as soon as possible. Gosh, I’ve consumed nearly all of the delectable foods available. It would be detrimental to my figure to continue eating at that pace.”

Callum raised his brows at that. “So, are you not eating now?”

“It’s not that! It’s my honor that Mr. Winthrop is cooking for the first time, for me! I will eat!”

She then sat at the dining table, and her eyes stared wide again when she saw the entire table filled with various delicacies.

“I can’t even prepare all of these. How did you manage it, Callum? You never have to cook for yourself.”

Callum looked at her, and his expression was unnatural. “I am indeed not cooking for the first time.”
