Chapter 112

Chapter 112:

Eileen finished work early that evening and, on a whim, decided to go to the underground supermarket. She ended up buying a lot of ingredients. With a heavy bag in hand, she trudged two blocks home, her arm throbbing with fatigue.

As she reached her place, she noticed the lights were on inside, and her heart skipped a beat. Bryan must be here. As she opened the door and stepped inside, a pair of strong hands reached out to relieve her of the heavy shopping bag.

“What’s this for? Did you expect me to drop by?” Bryan asked with a smile.

Bryan observed that the ingredients in the shopping bag would be sufficient for the two of them to eat for several days. After changing her shoes, Eileen shed her down jacket. She explained, “I finished work early and impulsively decided to go shopping. Once I was at the supermarket, I couldn’t resist buying everything in sight.”

She trailed behind him into the kitchen and opened the fridge, but she was surprised to find it already stocked with ingredients. Eileen’s eyes widened as she turned to face Bryan, who stood at the dining table, his brow furrowed in concentration. Eileen asked, “You also went shopping?”
