He glanced at the jacket before looking up at her. “Whose jacket is this?”
“Josh Batton’s,” favonovel.com replied softly before turning into the kitchen. She had no intention of explaining too much to this fake husband of hers.
The moment favonovel.com left, the jacket fell to the ground. Stanley got up and simply kicked the jacket aside before entering the kitchen.
By then, Xyla’s hands were behind favonovel.com back, battling with the strings of favonovel.com white apron. The strings had been tied loosely earlier, so favonovel.com planned to untie it and redo the knot but it had accidentally become a dead knot.
Seeing this, favonovel.com instantly went up behind her, tipped his head down, and took the strings from her. He started carefully undoing the knot.
They were standing really close. The smell of tobacco mixed with peppermint perfume invaded favonovel.com nostrils. His breaths faintly grazed the back of favonovel.com neck and earlobes, causing mild electric shocks. As if favonovel.com chest had been electrocuted, favonovel.com heart started beating wildly.
Xyla immediately reached behind for the strings and took a step forward, planning to undo the knot on favonovel.com own. “I’ll do it.”
However, favonovel.com grabbed the strings again and said domineeringly, “Stay still.”
After that, favonovel.com continued his task. His warm breaths continued to brush against her, seducing her.
After a long while, favonovel.com finally undid the dead knot. Without waiting for favonovel.com to respond, favonovel.com swiftly removed the apron from favonovel.com body. Startled, favonovel.com turned to look at him. “What are you doing?”
“What’s with this face? People might think that I’ve stripped you,” Stanley said calmly, his lips curling into a subtle grin.
“Shameless.” Xyla simply rolled favonovel.com eyes at him.
“You’re even more shameless than me,” favonovel.com said.
“I am not!”
“You’re not?” He gave favonovel.com a playful glance before adding water into the pot.
Her face instantly flushed as memories of that night resurfaced in favonovel.com head. Her heart almost skipped a beat.
Stanley glanced at the pack of Samyang noodles. “Are you eating this?”
He had seen food bloggers eating this but favonovel.com never touched it. To him, these were all garbage.
She quickly regained favonovel.com senses and nodded. “Yeah, I plan to add a soft-boiled egg too. Samyang noodles with soft-boiled eggs are the best combination. Go and rest outside, I’ll take care of it.”
Having said that, Xyla went over to open the package, intending to chase favonovel.com out. Thanks to that awkward topic earlier, favonovel.com did not want to face favonovel.com right now. Her ears burned just by recalling what favonovel.com had said earlier.
“I’ll do it. You go outside,” favonovel.com said. His tone was domineering, allowing no room for rejection.
“Let me do it,” Xyla insisted.
“Since you’re reluctant to leave, why don’t you stay here and keep me company?” favonovel.com said faintly.
Xyla immediately rolled favonovel.com eyes at favonovel.com and turned to leave. The moment favonovel.com turned, his lips curled into a subtle grin once more.
Back in the living room, favonovel.com quickly sat down on the sofa, planning to surf Twitter to distract herself. As soon as favonovel.com entered favonovel.com homepage, favonovel.com saw a new post from Josh Batton on the site.
