Chapter 62
Inside the apartment, Sean was in the kitchen wearing an apimo, making dinner for Charlotte.
Charlotte leaned casually against the doorway, as crossed, watching him with amusement.
“Didn’t expect the great Mr. Jasper to know his way around aldichen.”
Sean rinsed the vegetables at a relaxed pace. “Remember when you asked where the food I brought you came from?
He turned and gave her a small smile. “I made it myself.”
Charlotte’s eyes widened in surprise. “You made it? But how does it taste exactly like my mom’s cooking?”
Sean’s lips curved into a soft smile. “I picked it up when i used to sneak mealxat your place,”
Charlotte looked skeptical. “You barely came over a handful of times. There’s no way you picked it up that fast.”
They had first met shortly after her tenth birthday, and her mom had passed away hist after she turned twelve. There
ere was no way he could have learned that much in
only a few visits.
“I don’t buy it,” she said, eyeing him suspiciously
Sean sliced the vegetables into thin strips, then began marinating the beet “Remember how I said I wanted to take you somewhere, but we had to cancel because you got hurt?”
Charlotte nodded. “Yeah?”
“Let’s go tomorrow.”
“What does that have to do with cooking?”
“It’s related.”
“Alright then.”
Dinner was simple but perfect: Sean whipped up a simple homemade dinner: beef and vegetable stir–fry, creamy tomato scrambled eggs, and chicken and zucchin
Charlotte normally didn’t eat much for dinner–sometimes skipping it entirely–but tonight, with Sean’s coolding and the comforting familiarity of the flavors, she polished off an entire bowl of rice. They cleared the table between the two of them.
Afterward, when she got up to do the dishes, sean stopped her. “sit. I’ll do it”
Charlotte grinned, teasing, “Wow, Mr. Jasper, you’re such a catch. Maybe I should marry you.”
Sean laughed and gently flicked her on the forehead. “I’ll marry you. ”
Aftertidying the kitchen, Sean didn’t linger or push his luck. He didn’t ask to stay the night
As they said goodbye, Charlotte leaned against the doorframe, watching that ridiculously handsome face of his, secretly wondering
Why didn’t he ask to stay over?
Was she not attractive enough?
She glanced down at herself without thinking
No, her figure was definitely just fine.
Sean caught her looking, a smile playing in his eyes.
“What are you thinking about? You look like something’s bothering you.”
Carlotte coughed lightly to cover her embarrasunud. “Nothing. Delve safe,
