Chapter 445 When Will You Come Back

"We still have some ingredients left in the fridge. There's no need to have him make another trip," Lenora said.

"Sure thing," replied Zachary.

The summer weather was already sweltering, and despite the air conditioning indoors, a workout still left them drenched in sweat. The stickiness was uncomfortable.

Failing to deal with the discomfort, Lenora turned and headed toward the bedroom to fetch two clean sets of clothes. Before entering the bathroom, she said, "I'm going to take a bath first."

Before she had the chance to close the door, Zachary squeezed in. "Let's bathe together."

This time, the bath took nearly an hour.

Outside, the sky had already darkened, and the lights in the condominium were turned on.

Lenora was carried out of the bathroom.

Zachary wrapped her in a bath towel and placed her on the bed.

Lenora's eyes were closed. She was too exhausted to even lift a finger.

Zachary covered her with a thin blanket, saying, "I'm going to grab some clothes from the next room, then I'll come back and make you dinner."

Lenora managed to hum an acknowledgment.

Zachary rose and returned to the living room, where he noticed his shirt and her lingerie discarded on the floor. Bending down, he picked them up and placed them at the end of the couch. He only put on his pants, grabbed his keys, and went next door. After changing his clothes in a matter of minutes, he returned and glanced inside the refrigerator in the kitchen.

Inside, there were fresh cauliflower and eggplant. A box of large shrimps sat in the freezer.

Zachary skillfully whipped up three dishes using the ingredients he had. He made roasted cauliflower, eggplant parmesan, and a shrimp boil. He also prepared two bowls of oatmeal. Everything was neatly arranged on the table. Zachary returned to the bedroom and called Lenora to have dinner.

Lenora opened her eyes, propping herself up from the bed with her arms. She asked Zachary to fetch her clothes.

After she had put on her dress and gotten out of bed, her feet barely touched the floor when she suddenly felt a weakness in her legs, almost causing her to fall.

Zachary swiftly caught her, blinking guiltily as he asked, "You okay?"

Lenora shot him a look.

That look held no malice, but in Zachary's eyes, it seemed more like a playful scolding, causing a stir in his heart.

The two of them sat down at the dining table, chatting while enjoying their meal.
