My Sweet Wife

When Larissa opened her eyes in the morning, she saw that there was no one beside her.

Nathanael Lora was gone?

She got up and went out of the bedroom door and standing in the living room she saw the man busy in the kitchen, the man holding the pot, not knowing which hand to use to grab the vegetables or which to use to hold the spoon. In short, his hands were busy.

Larissa walked up to him, “Nathanael Lora, what are you doing?”

“You’re awake.” Nathanael Lora turned his face to look at Larissa behind him, then hurriedly retracted his eyes to look at the pan in front of him, flipping it with a spatula, “I’m making breakfast, I want to sauté two vegetables, scramble a tomato and egg, and make tomato and egg noodles.”

Larissa frowned worriedly, looking at his busy figure, it was not good to blow him off, so she asked politely, “Can you do it?”

“Don’t worry, I just searched the menu online. This tomato and egg noodle, it means that you have to scramble the tomato and egg first, then boil the clear water surface and pour the vegetables on top of it, so it will taste better.” Nathanael Lora had said all that just to make her believe him.

In fact, it didn’t even convince Larissa to trust him.

Because the scene she saw wasn’t very convincing, especially with this sticky pan of battered eggs in the pan, “Or should I …”

“You go out first, don’t stand here, you’re disturbing me if you stand here, you go out first.” Nathanael Lora reached out to push her out.

Yesterday he had said he would cook for her and ended up eating out, so this morning while she wasn’t awake, he had thought about making a breakfast, a breakfast with his own hands for her. He hadn’t done anything for her since they met.

So today was very much about wanting to get this meal done.

Of course the idea was good, the reality was not.

Larissa watched as the pan was smoking and she anxiously reminded Nathanael Lora, “The pan’s mushy, the vegetables are mushy …”

“You don’t have to care if it’s mushy, I’ll just redo it.” Nathanael Lora went to turn off the fire, gave all the vegetables in the pot to the out, and began to start over again to cut the tomatoes, in the beaten egg.

Doing both of these tasks, Nathanael Lora was stumbling around and was still quite able to get by.

But Larissa was still uneasy, and reminded him, “Put a little more oil, just now the egg stuck to the pan, it’s because the oil was put in less.”

“I know, I’ll put more oil this time, you go out. It’ll be ready in a while, you go wash up first and come over for dinner later.” Nathanael Lora nimbly washed the pan and started the second firing.

Larissa, who was standing on the side, watched as Nathanael Lora finished pouring the oil into the pan, and then picked up the eggs, ready to match Nathanael Lora’s, and the two of them worked together to make this breakfast.

But Nathanael Lora wasn’t wanting her help, and overran the bowl she was holding, “What’s the matter with you? Didn’t I tell you to get out?”

“I’ll do it with you, it’s inevitable that you won’t be skillful the first time you do it, have someone next to you to do it with you, do it this time and you’ll be skillful from now on.” Larissa spoke to him with a smile on her face.

Her voice was the kind that was soft like with light coaxing. She hadn’t pampered herself in front of Nathanael Lora, her nature was more calm and old than Nathanael Lora’s.

Nathanael Lora turned his face to look at her, “I would like to try it on my own alone first today, so you can leave it alone.”

He thought that cooking was something that many people knew how to do, it shouldn’t be that difficult, and he could even do such a tedious job in the company very well, and even the hardest things hadn’t been hard for him, so he thought that he should be able to make this meal. Provided he was allowed to try it himself, of course.

“Fire! Fire!” Larissa was pushed out of the kitchen by Nathanael Lora, who had just turned her face to see the scene.

Nathanael Lora walked quickly over to her and got something to catch the water first.

And Larissa turned the gas off straight away, then reached for the lid of the pot and put it on. These two actions, done almost in sync, looked skillful, and there wasn’t a trace of anxious panic on her face.

On the contrary, when Nathanael Lora finished receiving the water, she saw that Larissa had already put out the fire, was a face of surprise, and a little ashamed of herself, “How did you put out the fire?”

“The principle of extinguishing fire, have you forgotten? As long as the air is isolated, the fire will naturally go out.” After Larissa put out the fire, she continued to fry the vegetables, taking the time to glance at Nathanael Lora.

The way she was cooking was skillful looking and relaxed, frying the food while still having time to talk to him.

Nathanael Lora looked at her cooking, “I’ll practice later, and when I learn, I’ll make it for you.”

He couldn’t be bothered to fight her to do it anymore, this breakfast had already been delayed quite a bit.

“Uh-huh.” Larissa answered. She gave the vegetables to the pot and added water. She’d cooked for Nathanael Lora before, but there hadn’t been any interaction like this one; basically, in the past, she’d gotten it done, set it on the table, and told Nathanael Lora to just come over and eat.

It was also the first time that Nathanael Lora stood on the sidelines and watched her cook.

In the past, although they were an unmarried couple, the number of times they saw each other was very few, and the chances of waking up in the same bed and having breakfast together the next day were even rarer.

Larissa finished the dishes and handed him the chopsticks, “You taste the flavor.”

Although she was at home recently, she didn’t need to cook because of Phoebe, so she was a little worried that her hands would be too raw to master the amount of salt she put in.

Nathanael Lora took the chopsticks and took a bite, it was the unique flavor of her cooking, although it was not as good as a five-star chef’s, but this special flavor he enjoyed eating. He met her expectant eyes and lifted his lips to ask, “Do you want to taste it?”

“Uh, give me a taste.” Larissa saw that he wouldn’t hand her the chopsticks, so she opened her mouth and waited for him to feed her.

Nathanael Lora, however, doesn’t hold the chopsticks as he clasps the back of Larissa’s head with one hand and kisses her on the lips, the tip of his tongue prying open her pink lips and stirring them inside.

At the end of the kiss, Larissa’s body went limp in Nathanael Lora’s arms, her cheeks crimson as she heard Nathanael Lora’s voice in her ears as he spoke, “How do you think it tastes?”

In front of others Nathanael Lora was a dark and moody person, but here in Larissa the Nathanael Lora that she knew had always been simple and at best he was infatuated and hurt. So she hadn’t seen him flirt with anyone like that, and even more so, she hadn’t been teased by him like that before.

Larissa thought for a moment about such a sight, which she seemed to have acted out on television, and said in a calm, subdued voice, “It was okay.”

“How was it okay? It looks like you didn’t taste it.” Nathanael Lora looked at her with a deep gaze and, having come to a conclusion, hooked her jaw again with her hand and kissed her on the lips.

Kissing her until she was deprived of oxygen, Nathanael Lora pulled back and asked her again, “How did it taste exactly?”

Larissa was so concerned with breathing in oxygen that she didn’t have time to answer before Nathanael Lora could be heard in her ears again, “It seems that you haven’t tasted it yet, so taste it again.”

“No …” was used.

Before she could finish her sentence, the words were swallowed in Nathanael Lora’s mouth and turned into a whimper.

At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted them.

Larissa reached out and pushed Nathanael Lora when the person she heard first knocked, “Someone’s coming, someone …”

The words were slurred but Nathanael Lora let her go.

“Who’s this? You can’t pick a time to come over at this hour.” Nathanael Lora was the one with a look of displeasure, like a lustful look.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I’ll get the door, just watch the fire and turn it off when it’s on.” Larissa averted her eyes from looking at him and hurriedly spoke to Nathanael Lora before hurrying in the direction of the door.

Her cheeks were still a little hot, although it was with Nathanael Lora and it wasn’t like she hadn’t kissed before, but it was the first time she had kissed like this, and her heartbeat became so fast. She was really experiencing that young girl’s feeling of a young love heart.

Larissa collected her thoughts and reached for the door, “Who is it?”

As soon as she opened the door, Larissa saw the person standing in front of her, her face changed color, “Why are you here?”

“Why can’t I come?” The person outside the door asked this as a matter of course.

This person is not someone else, it is Larissa’s own mother, she recognized this real mother from the beginning, from the beginning of the joy, do not feel alone, there are people around her to love her care for her, to the back of the heart more and more cold, everywhere thinking of staying away from her this real mother, this year to the present this is the third time that she saw her real mother.

Celena looked at Larissa, a face of bossy, “I came to find you something today, you tell me, are you giving your father money? Your dad’s company has survived this crisis, I heard some of the talk from others, they said you gave your dad money.”

“If there’s something, let’s talk about it some other time, I’m not available today.” Larissa gave her expulsion order.

Celena is not giving Larissa any respect at all, full of anger, “What’s convenient or not? You have to make it clear to me today, or else I’m holding this in my heart and it’s going to kill me to hold it in!”

Listening to her so noisy, and want to go inside, Larissa reached out to pull her, want to drag her to go outside to talk, but Celena went not to give her a chance to speak. Celena pushed her away, and went inside, her mouth still talking.

“Are you forgetting how your dad and your foster mom treated us, mother and daughter, all these years? For so many years, they didn’t let us see each other. We’ve been separated for more than ten years and suffered so much, I think you’ve really forgotten!”

“They didn’t treat you as The Elbert family’s daughter either, defending you at every turn, their family hasn’t spent a penny on you.”

Celena was getting angrier and angrier and her voice was getting louder and louder as she spoke, “You’re so good that you went behind my back and took your private money and took it to help those two heartless people!”

Larissa pulled Celena, “Stop it! Let’s go out and talk, go out …”

“You let go of me, why do we have to go outside and talk?” Celena looked at Larissa with a puzzled look on her face, and as soon as she finished her sentence, she saw Nathanael Lora coming out of the kitchen with noodles.

In an instant, her body froze slightly.
