He thought that Aurelia, being a materialistic woman, wouldn’t be good at cooking. But actually, her cooking was quite good.

After finishing the pasta, Aurelia took the dishes back to the kitchen and then poured a glass of water for Leslie.

Leslie paused as he looked at the pill and warm water handed to him. He seemed lost in thought.

After saying this, she realized she might have spoken too much. She quickly changed the subject and said. “I’m going to wash the dishes”

She then headed into the kitchen.
