Chapter 650

When Jasper was ready to use them, he found that the vegetables in

the basin had been ruined by Evie's hands.

He couldn't help but chuckle, "You wash vegetables with so much

force.”

Evie blushed and rubbed her hands apologetically.“It's my first time

washing vegetables. I can't control my strength."

"Coincidentally, it's also my first time cooking for a girl." Jasper said as

he threw the washed vegetables into the pot.

Listening to Jasper's words, Evie inexplicably felt a little spoiled and

sweet.

Maybe she was thinking too much.

Although the vegetable leaves were a bit mushy from being washed too

hard, it didn't affect the taste of Jasper's cooked noodles at all.

In no time at all, a steaming bowl of celery pork noodles was served on

the table.

Evie exclaimed and picked up her fork to eat but then remembered that

Jasper hadn't come over yet so she quickly put down her fork again.

When Jasper brought over another bowl of noodles, he saw Evie sitting

upright waiting for him.

He couldn't help but smile when he saw this. “There is no one else

here; you don't have to wait for me."

Upon hearing this, Evie quickly picked up her fork. "I'll start eating!"

Her eating habits weren't elegant but they were natural and

unpretentious.

Jasper felt this bowl of noodles tasted especially good today when he

thought Evie worked together with him on it!

Evie was really hungry so she wasn't thinking about anything else

except eating.

“Thank you for giving me that little clay figurine; I really like it." This was

actually his first time receiving a gift from a girl.

He wanted to say that he would return something back as well but after

some thought, he decided not to bring it up until he was ready.

“I'm particularly good at making clay figurines; I can make one in just

minutes," said Evie nonchalantly. "So there's no need to thank me; It's

effortless.”

“I know how to do many things," replied Evie with an adorable

expression on her face. "I can also make candy! Have you ever tried

them? And I'm pretty good at making small crafts too."

"When I was studying before," continued Evie excitedly, "I loved

secretly making small toys during class like windmills or cars. I could

make many things! And I could weave beautiful bracelets using red

string."

“I made many back then and sold them to my classmates."

"Why sell to them?" Jasper looked at her curiously.

"Because I need to make money. The boutique sells their scarves for

tens of dollars, but I only charge ten. And my designs are even better

than theirs, so my business is doing really well," Evie boasted about

her past success in school, her face glowing with pride.

“I've made so much pocket money from it and even sold them my little

clay figurines and toy cars," she continued.

"Why are you so obsessed with making money?" Jasper furrowed his

brow, wondering if there was a bad history between Evie and the Anto

family. "Do your parents not support you?"

"Of course not. I'm not their biological child,” Evie rolled her eyes. "But

later on, I become an athlete and earned prize money from winning

competitions.”

She finished the last bite of noodles before wiping her mouth clean.

“That was delicious! Thank you!"

Watching Evie's carefree demeanor made Jasper's heart ache slightly.

When he thought about how poorly she had been treated by the Anto

family in the past, his protective instincts kicked in.

"You go rest in your room; let me wash up," he offered kindly.

"How can I let you wash dishes when you cooked? Let me do it!" Evie

quickly grabbed both their bowls and headed towards the kitchen but

slipped on something along the way causing both bowls to shatter into

pieces.

Jasper chuckled at what happened before saying,"Well, now no one

has to wash dishes."

Evie blushed as she picked herself up off of the floor while holding back

tears of embarrassment over what just happened.

"Are you hurt?" The man didn't ask about his broken dishware but

instead asked if she was okay while looking down at her worriedly.

“No, I'm fine." She went to grab a broom but saw that Jasper had

cleaned up all of broken glass shards without any hesitation or

complaint which only made Evie feel guilty for breaking his dishes.

“It's no biggie; go rest now." Jasper smiled reassuringly at her before

adding,

Evie turned around, dragging along with luggage towards staircase

corner when suddenly heard Jasper say, "Hey, wait."

She turned around, only to see him walking towards him, so she asked,

"What's wrong?"

“I noticed that there's a piece of vegetable leaf stuck on your head.”

"Really?" She wrinkled her nose, readying herself to touch head when

Jasper said, "Let me help.”

She felt the man's warm palm caressing the top of her head and he

even rubbed it.
