“All right, then.”

Lysander had no choice but to take control of the cooking, lest their agreement of her treating him to a meal turned into him coming over to cook for her

The apartment was not large to begin with, and the kitchen was even smaller. It felt spacious enough for one person, but with two it became rather crowded. One had to be careful not to bump into each other.

Yet, from start to finish, Adrian managed to control his strength perfectly, ensuring that he never bumped into her throughout.

Once Lysander finished peeling the ingredients, the trash can would promptly be in Adrian’s hands, ready to collect other kitchen waste. There was neve

Seeing her hesitate, Adrian quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Then, without waiting for her response, he had a sudden realization. “I used up the last bit of cooking wine last time. I intended to replenish it for you nex C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

No sooner had his words faded, than he dashed out of the kitchen, quickly changed his shoes, and ran out.

There was a small supermarket at the entrance of the residential area. It didn’t have a wide variety of food ingredients, but it did carry common seasonin

Even without asking. Lysander knew that Adrian would go there to buy cooking wine. She remained busy in the kitchen. The spare ribs weren’t going to b

Through the corner of her eye, she saw that the bottle containing lemon juice was empty as well.

“Dr. Sutton, wait up!” Lysander hastily rushed out, just in time to catch Adrian who had already stepped

one foot into the elevator.

Adrian hurriedly halted his steps and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“While you’re at it, could you also grab a bottle of lemon juice? We’ll need it later for the lemon butter fish,” Lysander reminded him.

Adrian flashed a smile as he said, “All right. Is there anything else in the kitchen that needs restocking? I’U try to get everything in one trip.”

After giving it some thought, Lysander shook her head and said, “Nothing more.”

Adrian had just stepped into the elevator, and right before the doors closed, he said, “Wait for me; I’ll be back soon.

Lysander watched as Adrian entered the elevator. She had barely turned around when she unexpectedly ran into Josiah, who had seemingly appeared f

It was as if he could walk without making a sound.

Pretending not to notice him, Lysander was about to walk past Josiah when Tiffany stopped her.

“Lysa, you and your boyfriend seem really close! The way you two were talking earlier was so heartwarming that it made me quite envious!” she said.

“You two are pretty close too,” Lysander replied before turning around and heading back home.

Before Lysander could step through the door, Josiah rushed to ask her, “Did you need something when you called me last night? I was in a video confere

A video conference at such a late hour?

However, Lysander couldn’t be bothered to dwell on the reasons anymore.

She said nonchalantly, “It’s fine; everything has been taken care of.”

Upon seeing Lysander’s strictly professional demeanor, Josiah was immediately irritated. He lowered his voice and said. “If you have something to say, j

“As I said, it has already been taken care of. Did you guys have other matters to attend to outside? The elevator should be here by now,” Lysander respo

Josiah, with his thin lips pursed, said nothing more.

Tiffany chuckled. “No, we’re not heading out. We’re just checking if our food delivery has arrived yet.”

With an adorable stick of her tongue, she added, “I’m not really good at cooking, so I guess we’ll have to make do with food delivery for now.”

“Oh, you two carry on waiting, then. I’ll be heading back now.”

Lysander then quickly returned home, shutting the door behind her.

Before long. Adrian returned, panting heavily. He held a shopping bag in his hand, which undoubtedly contained more than just cooking wine and lemon

As he was unpacking, he said. “The line at checkout held me up for a bit. I hope that didn’t cause you any trouble.”

“Not at all. Why did you buy so much stuff?” Lysander asked in confusion.

As he spoke, Adrian had already taken out the red wine, aromatherapy candles, and a bouquet of flowers that he had somehow managed to stuff into th

“I made Ecronian cuisine, so I’m afraid it may not live up to such grand expectations,” Lysander said gently.

Adrian laughed as he said, “Then this will be a fusion of cultures! By the way, do you have a candlestick at home?”

Having never purchased such an impractical item bepre. Lysander replied. “No. I don’t.”

Adrian scoured the kitchen, finally settling for a coaster. “This should do for now.”

After arranging the candles, he then began to search for a vase for the flowers.

Lysander opened up the seasonings and stayed in the kitchen to continue cooking. By the time the lemon butter fish filled the air with its enticing aroma, the pork ribs were also nearly done. She quickly fried some vegetables and plated them, t

Inside the restaurant, Adrian had already set up the dining table, creating an ambiance of a candlelit dinner.

A rose adorned with dewdrops was placed at the center, flanked by aromatherapy candles resting on coasters on either side. Once the light was turned

As Lysander placed the dishes on the table, she said, “It’s just a simple meal, but you sure know how to live a refined life.”

Adrian immediately returned the compliment by saying, “How could I not match up to your culinary skills? This lemon butter fish is truly well made. It see

When it came to culinary skills, she was far inferior to Laura’s and might have even been outperformed by Michelle.

White Coat caught the enticing aroma of the food and was eager to get on the table. However, its short stature posed a problem; no matter how much it

Adrian gave a slight smile. “Didn’t you already treat me to a meal? We’re even now.”

As he spoke, he picked a piece of fish from the bowl and savored it with delight. “I’m not just saying this, by the way. It’s really good,” he commented.

With a mix of doubt and trust, Lysander took a tentative bite, her expression resigned as he said, “The taste is just mediocre. In the past few years, I’ve e

The doorbell rang at an inopportune time.

Adrian said, “Oh, it might be the errand runner I just called. I bought a few toys for White Coat.”

But when the door was opened, he saw that it wasn’t the delivery guy. Instead, it was Tiffany.

As soon as Tiffany saw Lysa, she was in a state of panic, grabbing her hand as she babbled, “Lysa, come quickly! Jose has fainted!”
