Chapter 34~ A dinner party

Aaron made dinner and was helped by his son. He put a stool next to the sink where Reagan washed the tomatoes after showing him how to do it.

Reagan was happy. He would clean one tomato and show his father, saying, “Daddy, look! Is it

clean?”

Aaron smiled at his son and nodded, getting the tomato from him. “It is clean. Well done, son!”

Reagan smiled from ear to ear and continued washing the tomatoes.

Aaron cooked for hours and then set the table. The kids were very hungry because they had been waiting for a long time. Tessa had offered to make them something simple but they refused, wanting to taste their father’s cooking..

However, Aaron took long in the kitchen but the kids waited patiently despite their rumbling

stomachs. When he was done, he called everyone and the kids rushed to the table.

“Wow, Daddy’s food smells nice!” Willa chirped as Aaron lifted her from the ground.

“Of course! I helped him cook!” Reagan said proudly

Tessa and Elena joined them at the dining table. Looking at the served dish on the table, Tessa was confused. Aaron took too long in the kitchen, she thought he was making many dishes or at least something that was five-star standard.

She glanced at him and asked incredulously, “You only cooked spaghetti Bolognese for five

hours?”

Aaron scratched the back of his neck and said sheepishly, “This is actually the first dish I’m cooking. I never made a meal by myself after the cooking lessons.”

Elena glanced at him and smiled, saying, “Thank you for cooking, Aaron.”

Aaron smiled and then his gaze fell on Tessa. Their eyes met and Tessa’s heart skipped a beat. Her face flushed as she recalled how he teased her in the kitchen earlier.

She ended up saying begrudgingly, “Thank you for cooking.”

Reagan looked up at her face and ended up asking, “Mommy, why is your face red? Are you sick?”

“I’m fine,” Tessa was quick to answer, causing a smirk to cross Aaron’s lips.

The family sat around the dining table and had a harmonious dinner.

Nia and Willa were still being fed by Aaron. Tessa looked at them disapprovingly and stated, Willa, Nia, it’s time to eat by yourselves. Stop being naughty and let Daddy eat.”

“But I still want Daddy to feed me,” Willa protested with a pout.

“Me too. You can just ask him to feed you too if you want,” Nia chimed in

Tessa’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets at her daughter’s words Her face flushed and she said disapprovingly, “Nia-”

“Let them be. They are just excited to finally have a father,” Aaron remarked with a warm smile on

his face as he fed the kids while forgetting about his own food.

Something stirred within Tessa’s heart as she witnessed this scene. Warmth filled her soul.

The following day, Aaron was wracking his brain on how best he could pursue Tessa. He had done almost everything; he got her flowers, cooked for her, and surprised her with gifts and lunch at work.

Regardless, winning her heart still seemed like a long way to go.
