Trapped Married By Young Master - Chapter 76
Luci and Evan finally gave up on fighting all the time. Both of them were too tired to scream. So they both sat on their respective sofas and caught their breath. They were like two children who had just fought over a toy.
“Let’s just end it. I’m exhausted,” Evan gasped and then wiped his sweat and even he got up from the sofa and took the cola in the freezer and drank it down.
“After all, it’s the end of the year. I’ll save my energy for a tough day. I have many resolutions for the new year. The market share must be widened and I must be able to become an entrepreneur with the highest assets in Asia. A tough day. Tough day,” Evan mumbled after drinking his cola.
Luci didn’t answer, she was still holding her breath. But in her mind she was muttering, ‘He thinks he’s the only one who has year-end resolutions? I also want to improve my well-being. At least I’ll move to a more livable flat. Argh, what has my money been for all this time?.’ Luci glanced sadly at the view of her shabby flat.
Even though her money was used up for Hans’ medical expenses and to pay off the gambling debt belonging to Aunt Arum which was bestowed on her.
“You have to get out of my flat. After all, it’s not good for two unmarried people to live under the same roof.” Luci squinted at Evan. Her round eyes snorted sharply.
“I am not a person, I am the king of this land. People won’t think you’re bad just because I stayed one day at your place. They will even adore you after this.” Evan leaned back against the sofa. His throat hurts so bad even though he’s been drenched in cola.
“You are not the king, please take your words back.” Luci rolled her eyes sarcastically.
“I can almost be likened to a king here. I’m hungry, make me some food!” Evan ordered while holding his stomach that was already growling.
“Just make it yourself!” Luci almost got up to leave. But she failed to leave when Evan had grabbed her hand angrily and annoyingly.
“You have to take responsibility because you are the reason why I got stuck here. Why is your door jammed, and why are the windows of your flat so small?” Evan was good at blaming people.
“You are the one who came with Grand Lady earlier. So don’t blame me.” Luci hadn’t stopped talking, but now her face was frozen in concern.
Slowly Evan grimaced and held his stomach. He was indeed hungry and had stomach acid. But luckily it wasn’t too bad so if he was given food right away, his stomach acid usually didn’t go up.
“Are you sick?” Luci asked worriedly.
Evan still didn’t answer, his face still grimaced a bit in pain. Then he went to her kitchen and looked for something.
“What are you doing?” Luci shouted from the sofa.
“Food, give me some before my stomach acid flares up.” Evan searched frantically and hastily.
Luci immediately intervened. She took a can of biscuits that she kept in the cupboard in the kitchen earlier. It was one of the dishes that she served to entertain the Grand Lady. But unfortunately was not touched at all by her.
After seeing that there was a can of biscuits in Luci’s hand, Evan quickly grabbed it and opened it. Then he greedily ate it standing up. Seeing that he seemed so hungry, she felt bad if not cook for him.
It’s eleven PM, it’s not even a good time to dine. But if Evan needed it, then fine.
“Wait in the living room! You can watch TV if you want. I’ll cook something.” Luci immediately looked for the ingredients in her refrigerator. Fortunately, she had filled the fridge this afternoon. Although the contents of it were still incomplete because she was still short of money because his check had not been cashed.
Evan ignored Luci who told him to sit in the living room. He was still standing and engrossed in eating biscuits. He also took a bottle of cola and gulped it down.
Before Luci could finish her cooking, he had finished the one can of biscuit, And his stomach felt good because it was filled. But that didn’t mean he was full. He was still waiting for her to cook.
His nose moved gently as he inhaled the delicious aroma of her cooking. Then without being able to hold back he drew closer to her.
“What are you cooking? Hurry up I need to eat (red = what are you cooking? It smells really good.)” Evan had his language to express something. Sometimes if he wanted to praise, then he would berate. His prestige was very high.
“I cooked fried rice for you. Please be patient,” Luci whispered while giving sweet soy sauce for the final touch of the fried rice.
“Don’t take too long! You can burn this place down with your stinky cooking smoke! (red = Don’t take too long! I can’t wait to eat your food.)” Evan sat back at the dining table impatiently.
His feet even trotted on the floor. He sometimes also looked at Luci’s cooking process which took a very long time for him, because he couldn’t wait to eat it.
Not long after, Luci had come with two plates of fried rice. She was also a bit hungry after yelling and fighting with Evan earlier.
“Please,” Luci said sincerely. Before she managed to place it on the table the plate of fried rice was grabbed by Evan very hastily.
Then without another word he devoured the fried rice quickly like a vacuum cleaner. In just two minutes the fried rice was gone without leaving a single grain of rice left.
Luci gaped and almost couldn’t believe what she was seeing right now. Even seeing how voraciously he ate her homemade fried rice made her feel like he was full.
‘Is he starving or is my cooking delicious?’ Luci thought. She only ate two spoons of fried rice, the rest she just stared at Evan non-stop.
“Does my cooking suit your taste?” Kuci asked probing. Even though she didn’t want to talk much with Evan, she had to.
Evan was his current client and establishing a good working relationship such as getting to know each other was very important and good.
“No. I’m just hungry. So don’t get me wrong! (red = yes, your food is so delicious. I don’t want to stop eating it).” Evan put down his finished plate. But his desire for them still roared in her stomach.
His sharp eyes now caught the plate of his fried rice which was still not finished.
“Gosh, don’t waste food! Here, let me eat it. I don’t like wasted food. (red = I want to eat again. Your cooking is very flavorful).” Evan also grabbed Luci’s plate of fried rice and devoured it. Even he wouldn’t listen to her speak just yet.
Even though she was also a bit hungry at that time, she couldn’t save her fried rice from Evan’s invasion who was starving. As a result, she sighed and looked for other snacks to eat.
“Whoa, how delicious! I haven’t eaten fried rice since ten years ago.” Evan wiped his mouth in satisfaction while Luci gaped.
“How come it’s just fried rice you haven’t eaten in that long?” She also frowned.
“I avoid fried rice because it is the best dish my mother made.” He drank his cola with gusto and taste. Even the sensitive topic of his mother he easily talked to her. He was completely unaware of how far she had entered his heart.
