Chapter 241 This Is Just Too Inhuman!
With a kitchen knife in hand, Simon lowered his head, paused for a moment, and said slowly, “She only eats what I
cook.”
Chester was speechless.
What a display of affection! Chester didn’t see that coming at all.
As he chewed on the fruit that had just been taken out of the refrigerator, Chester leaned against the kitchen table and watched Simon wash vegetables, cut up things, and all that.
It surprised Chester a bit that Simon actually did quite well.
Then Chester sighed emotionally to himself, I never thought that I would see Simon cook things himself. Is love working its magic on him? I, however, am hardly likely to cook for a woman.
“I’m getting more and more curious about your lady. She must have cast a spell on you so as to make you faithful to her.” Chester tried to trap him into telling the truth in a very careful way so that he wouldn’t provoke him.
Simon didn’t raise his head. Instead, he placed the food into the pot, which was followed by a sizzle, and said unhurriedly, “You won’t understand.”
Then Simon continued to wave his spatula. It looked like he was enjoying himself.
Chester thought, what? He said that I wouldn’t understand! He outdoes me in this only because he had a few more relationships than me. No big deal!
And yet he said it as I had never met a woman before! Then Chester looked away with a look of disdain. At that moment, he saw something.
“Holy shit!”
Chester threw away the half-eaten fruit in his hand and jolted backward. He was so flustered that he almost jumped onto Simon.
Thanks to that, the pot in Simon’s hand was so close to slipping from his grasp. Simon then turned around and knocked on Chester’s head with the spatula. “Are you crazy?”
“I’m not crazy. There is a ghost!”
Trembling, Chester pointed ahead. Simon looked toward where Chester pointed and saw a person standing at the kitchen door. The person looked dirty, with mud dripping down from the body.
And because of the long hair, which was wet and stuck to the cheeks, the person looked like a female ghost.
Of course, Simon recognized that it was his wife. Stunned for a moment, Simon hurried to put down what was in his hand and adjusted the heat to the minimum. Then he walked over and said gently, “What’s the matter?”
“He!” Silvia frowned and looked at the stranger in the house with confusion, her finger pointing at Chester.
Chester was scared shitless.
He thought, the female ghost is pointing at me! Would she kill me? This is so scary!
“Just a nobody.” Simon said indifferently, “Are you alright?”
“It’s okay. I went to the suburbs to collect some materials today. But accidentally, I missed my step. And since it was drizzling, I then got wet,” she said, stroking her hair. “I’m going back to my room to take a shower and change my clothes now.”
“Well, don’t catch a cold.” He patted her on the cheek affectionately.
Silvia nodded and glanced at Chester again before turning around to go upstairs.
Noticing that the “female ghost” had disappeared, Chester regained his composure a bit. Then as he stroked his chest, he looked at Simon, who had resumed his cooking already with a calm expression. But a few seconds ago, he was still. so affectionate to the “female ghost”!
“Could it be that the one that showed up just now is … is….”
“I thought you saw everything!” Simon said indifferently. “Also, you shouted too loudly just now. You’ve scared her.”
Chester widened his eyes and felt wronged. Obviously, he was the one who was frightened!
Soon, Simon had finished cooking. There was shrimp toast, beef stew with tomatoes, plum cake, and seafood soup. Also, there was some pear salad in the pot. Chester found all the food mouthwatering.
Since he had already been here for quite a long time, despite not being quite welcome, he might as well freeload a bit as well.
Then, Chester hurried to serve the dishes onto the dining table in a flattering manner before taking a seat and picking up a fork, ready to enjoy himself. Al that moment, Simon slapped him on the back of his hand. “I said that this is not for you!”
“I notice that you’ve cooked way too much. You two will just waste the tood! Therefore, I offer to help you with them. I promise I will finish them up!” As he spoke, he was ready to pick up the food.
“Don’t bother!” Simon blocked him with one hand and chased him away as it Chester was some sort of fly.
But Chester was so thick-skinned that he remained in his chair and kept dodging Simon while trying to pick up food. Just as he was about to stuff a mouthtul on tood, which he managed to pick up at last, into his mouth, a very pleasant female voice sounded, “My car seems to be a bit faulty. Please have ir sent and repaired tomorrow.”
“Okay, then drive my car tomorrow,” Simon replied.
“Your car makes me feel conspicuous. I’ll just grab a cab.” As the voice sounded, the sound of footsteps was heard as well. The speaker was walking downstairs leisurely.
Simon walked over to her as he grabbed a large towel and said, “Then I will ask Freddie to give you a ride. Taking a taxi is just too troublesome.”
Then Simon covered her head with a dry towel and rubbed it gently. “You’re not drying your hair again.”
“Blowing my hair is something that is troublesome!” She grabbed her hair and turned around, only to find Chester, who was about to stuff some food in his mouth while looking at her. She recognized him. He was the person who had called her “ghost” in the kitchen. Therefore, she frowned. “Why are you still here?”
Chester was speechless.
One second, he was still numb in shock that he had seen a gorgeous lady. The next second, that lady had already cast a damp over him.
Chester thought, I tend to be lovable whenever I am in a relationship. People love me a lot. But how come it’s not working here? Why does the couple despise me like this?
The first time we met, I was scared out of my wits. And now, before I could even utter a word of praise, the lady had already asked me out.
And the most unacceptable thing is that Simon is actually a hen-pecked guy, who, instead of stopping his wife from
Deving impolites should yield to his wife’s demands and ask me to leave as well!
This is just too inhuman!
Then, to Chester’s surprise, he heard silvia say, “Forget it. Since he is your friend, let him stay and have a meal with
Chester was happy with her kindness.
However, Simon said, “He is not a friend. Also, if he stays, he will eat your share of food.”
Chester was at a loss for words.
He thought, am I such a gourmand to you? There are so many dishes on the table. And if I finish them up, there are still more in the kitchen and in the refrigerator. Why did he say it in a way as if I’m some monster with an insatiable appetite. You know, even if all the food in the house has been eaten up, we can still buy some more food or order takeout, right?
Chester found that it was such a humiliation for him, which he had never gone through before. Then he looked at Silvia, hoping that she could say something.
He knew that whatever Silvia said, Simon would listen to it.
Then Chester put down his fork and wiped his mouth a bit. “I won’t finish up all your food. Besides, with such a great beauty in front of me, I might get distracted and end up eating nothing!”
As he spoke, he winked at Silvia.
