chapter 15

Lucy looked at the clock. Seven thirty-five PM. It was time for dinner."Lucy, it's only good manners that you offer him a meal as a sign of his welcome. He must be feeling so lonely in this new place," she spoke to herself.Truthfully, she only wanted a reason to drool at him again.As soon as she got up, she remembered that she was supposed to have dinner at Mrs. Ziara's place. She sobbed."No. How can I leave this chance to be with my Godly handsome prince?"*Ding*Lucy knew it was Mrs. Ziara."Lucy. The dinner is ready. Come quickly!"Lucy opened the door and sheepishly grinned. "Hehe, Aunt~~"Mrs. Ziara suspiciously looked at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?""Aunt, I was about to come and tell you that I already had my dinner."She pinched her nose. "Ow. Ow! Aunt, my poor nose!"Mrs. Ziara harrumphed. "Don't fool me. I know what is cooking in your mind. You are plotting to eat with that new tenant together, right?"Lucy felt wronged. "Don't say plotting as if I am so evil…I am just a young maiden in love."Her mouth twitched.She dreamily said, "And this is the time for romance to bloom between us which I cannot do by having dinner at your place."Mrs. Ziara sighed. "Dear, I don't know why a rich man like him came to live here, but I don't think you should get involved with him. Our worlds are too different. I have heard that wealthy men have their own choices for women."Lucy grinned and pinched her cheeks. "You are so adorable. Aunt, thanks for worrying about me, but I will be fine.""Alright. Alright. So, what are your plans? Are you going to cook?"She brightened. "Yes! It's our first meal. Of course, I will cook it myself.""When was the last time you did?" She raised her brow."..."Lucy felt she had no answer to that question."I-I did. Two weeks back.""That was a cup of instant noodles. You don't call that cooking. I am asking about a proper meal.""Oof, Aunt! I will manage it! It's not difficult. There are so many videos of easy recipes which even a ten-year-old child can cook."Mrs. Ziara nodded. "A child? Yes. You? No."Lucy's mouth twitched."Aunt, I will manage it. Now please let me get to work," she sobbed."Just don't burn your house, okay?"---"A small request to all my readers, if you want to read the entire story and all my written stories without interruption, please subscribe to my id.
