Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 389

“You just got out of casts a week back and you are already jumping around. DO you want to go back to the hospital so soon? You know too well that you cannot cook to save yourself… SO, why bother?” Charan scolded her frustrated as he cleaned up the mess she had made. He was really not looking forward to taking her back to the hospital over her stupidity. So, his voice was actually louder than he usually uses with her. He was practically half yelling at her.

Shreya did not talk back as she sat on the counter with her head hung down low. She quietly listened to him scolding very obediently. She looked really down but Charan was too preoccupied to notice it at the moment. She looked like a battered abandoned pup.

“Sorry… I messed up. I did not mean to upset you. I just… I just wanted to do something special for you. I know if I bought you a gift or something, you wouldn’t like it and you will be with the whole family tomorrow… so, I thought maybe I could cook for you today… but obviously, that plan ended up being a disaster.” Shreya muttered in a low voice. Her whole being looked defeated and aggrieved when she said that.

Charan stopped on his track when he heard her. He did not really understand what she was getting at initially but when he realized it, he couldn’t help but look up at her surprised.

With everything going on he completely forgot that it’s his birthday tomorrow. His eyes snapped towards Shreya surprised and shocked.

“Damn it,” He let out a curse under his breath when he saw the look of Shreya. She was sulking away pouting her lips without looking up at him. She was fidgeting and playing with the band-aid he had just worn on her thumb with her head hung low.

Charan quickly cleaned up the mess and came to stand in front of her. He had a towel in his hands. He damped it underwater before going to Shreya.

She was busy biting on her lips. You can clearly see how upset she was. After all, Shreya was someone who likes things going her way… and this was something she had planned for a while and put a lot of effort into. This whole week, she was really not working. She practiced but she was just impossibly handicapped when it came to cooking. But even then she had successfully cooked something edible in the last few times. But the problem was, her apartment was differently equipped from that of Charan’s place.

Her place actually had an electric stove and Shreya failed to calculate the difference in temperature between the two. Since she practically gawks on Charan every time he cooks, she knew how to switch it on but everything else after that went downhill pretty fast. Especially, given Shreya was pretty efficient when Ramani was giving orders… but even with excellent memory, Shreya had to think twice before doing anything here. So, all the timings were off by a mile.

She couldn’t help beat herself upon the failure. She should have just did it over at her own apartment… it was just she had to pretend to be too busy to meet up with him the whole week and secretly practicing at her place and thus they had been staying at his place at night and if she were to surprise him without her getting suspicious, I had to be in his place.

Charan lifted her head up by her chin as he whispered, “Sorry… I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”

Shreya shook her head still not meeting his eyes as she mumbled back, “No… I am sorry. I messed up. I just wanted to do something… and I seemed to have come up with the stupidest of ideas.”

You can clearly see her mopping around. She was beating herself up for this…

“I should have known this would happen… who doesn’t know how disastrous I was in the kitchen… but I just had to plan something so stupid after all.” Shreya started lamenting to herself. But did not stop even when she felt wet on her face.

Charan was wiping the smoke off of her face with the towel. He made sure he was being gentle. The white towel came back stained.

“Now, not only did not fail to give you a surprise… but you also had to clean up the mess I left behind and now you would probably even make us dinner too!!” Shreya mumbled looking defeated.

But before she could continue, Charan clamped her lips with his fingers not letting her talk anymore.

At last, Shreya’s eyes snapped up where she stared back at Charan looking annoyed. She hated being manhandled like this…

“Thank you. If not for you, I wouldn’t have even bothered to remember my birthday in the first place…” Charan said looking at her solemnly.

This should actually be his second birthday since she met Shreya… After all, the first time went when he was still working hectically on the mall project and it completely slipped his mind as always. And since Shreya never did any checking on Charan, she never knew about it until Bharath mentioned and Shreya felt really bad about missing it.

But Shreya did not seem convinced. She looked behind at the filled-up sink with dirty dishes… she looked at them with vengeance. You can clearly see the resentment in her eyes when she looked around.

Charan obviously saw her antics. He really couldn’t help but smiled at her amused as he swatted over her forehead with his fingers saying, “You do not have to try to burn my vessels with your eyes… they are already burnt pretty badly as it is!! You do not have to make it worse…”

Shreya averted her eyes with drooping eyes. She really looked down. Her brows never straightened once since he got here and her lips sported a permanent pout.

And she did not know how to come out of it.

After all, this was her first birthday with him after knowing and she wanted to let him remember it with a positive note and not as a failure.
