Chapter 37:.

Stella quickly withdrew her hand from his palm, as if she was the one taking advantage of him. What a show-off! He was getting ruder and ruder.

Not only had he taken advantage of her earlier on the stairs, but now he was also in her grandmother’s living room, doing his own thing. To top it off, she was getting married next month.

Stella turned away angrily. “I can’t clean your pants. When we get back, you can take them off and I’ll wash them.” No way was she going to clean a man’s body part. At best, she could wipe the stain off his pants and wash them later.

RK raised his eyebrows, looking at her, but said nothing. He neither agreed nor refused, but at least he didn’t ask her to clean his pants again.

The sauce was dark, and with his black pants, the stain was barely visible. After a good while, they both finished eating and sat down uncomfortably because they didn’t know what to say.

Grandma came out of the bathroom after a long while. It was as if she had deliberately given them some private space.

As she watched them both, watching their expressions closely, she noticed her granddaughter’s flushed face, but neither spoke.

Grace looked at them and smiled, thinking that Stella was simply too shy to say anything. From their expressions, she guessed that their relationship was improving.

Grace sat down across from them and asked, “Stella, are you done talking, did you eat, did you like it?”

Stella pouted, what could she say? With such a cold man sitting next to her, how could she eat? She was too scared to do anything. “Grandma, try this food! It’s good and it’s your favorite,” RK said, serving her some food on the plate with her injured hand. But wasn’t her hand supposed to be injured? That’s why he needed someone to feed him. But there he was, trying to please his grandmother, showing no sign of pain.

Grace took the plate from him and gently stopped him. “Your hand is still hurt. You’ll hurt your wound. You don’t need to serve me; I can do it myself.”

Stella contemplated the scene before her. The atmosphere seemed very warm and harmonious. But she felt out of place, like an outsider in that warm scene. It was as if they were grandmother and grandson, and she was the outsider.

“Rene, you and Stella shouldn’t always come to the hospital to see this old woman. You’d better go out to the movies or to the street,” Grace suggested kindly.
