Chapter 453

After finally breaking free from Aidan's shackles, Leanna walked to the kitchen. "What do you want to eat?" she asked. "Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll make it for you."

The man let out a chuckle at that. "Is it because you want to eat something yourself, or are you going out of your way to prepare food for me?"

She only ignored his question and urged, "Just tell me if you want to eat."

"Yeah." He gazed at her with his dark eyes. "I'm not a picky eater at all. I can eat anything."

Is that supposed to sound believable? she thought to herself.

She opened the refrigerator and saw that there were no ingredients that could be used. Fortunately, she still had a few boxes of pasta that she had bulk-bought last time to save trouble.

I'll cook pasta then.

As she was filling a pot with water, she happened to catch sight of her luggage in the living room. "Aidan, help me keep an eye out on the pot. Call me when the water starts to boil."

Aidan swiftly hummed in reply. Hearing his response, she turned her head in his direction, only to see that he was on the phone.

It was probably a work-related call, but she was sure it wouldn't be a problem for him to talk on the phone while watching the water.

She opened the suitcase and squatted on the floor to take out the clothes inside. Noticing how they were soaked in the smell of smoke, she carried them in her arms and put the clothes in the washing machine.

She only returned to the living room after pouring laundry detergent and turning on the machine.

Aidan was standing in the kitchen while wearing a white shirt and black pants with the buttons at his collar left undone. With one hand in his pants pocket and the other holding his phone, he continued to talk casually into the phone while occasionally glancing at the pot.

When he saw that the water had started boiling, he slipped out the hand in his pocket and lowered the temperature of the induction hob.

His conversation on the phone never ceased throughout the entire process.
