Chapter 108
Mend
Today, I ran to him and sat beside him without moving, which was unprecedented. Kaleb inserted his hands into his pockets and gazed down at my troubled face.“Do you have something to say?”
“I’ll do it,” I whispered softly, as I walked quickly past him.
Kaleb stood still for a few seconds, turned around, and hurriedly walked into the kitchen, closing the door behind him as he looked at my receding figure.
I entered the kitchen, propping my hands on the kitchen island, taking a deep breath, and calming my nervousness. I then turned around to check the refrigerator. Luckily, I had the habit of cooking dinner, so there was food stored in the refrigerator. Although not much, it was enough for two people.
I was preparing to cook. I took out eggs, tomatoes, vegetables, and beef from the refrigerator. Then, I took out a packet of chili peppers and froze. I stood in front of the refrigerator, looking at the ingredients, feeling conflicted. Before getting married, we had also eaten together a few times, but it seemed like we always had Western food, such as steak and pasta, and we had also tried Japanese cuisine. Does he eat spicy food if he doesn’t know how to cook home–style dishes?
I was lost in thought when the door opened and footsteps approached, accompanied by Kaleb’s gentle voice,“I could eat spicy food.”
I was slightly startled but quickly regained my composure. I hurriedly closed the refrigerator and tightly gripped the chili pepper in my hand before turning around and heading towards the kitchen counter. Kaleb gently rolled up his sleeves and washed the vegetables in the sink. Because he was there, I was particularly reserved and could never relax, holding the beef and cutting it into strips. Kaleb washed the vegetables one by one, put them in a basket to drain, and pushed it over to me. Then, he picked up an egg and cracked it into a bowl. He knocked an egg, washed his hands, knocked three eggs, and washed his hands three times.
I caught a glimpse of his movement and slowly looked at him.
