Chapter 55
Chloe couldn’t help but to laugh, ‘Are you sure, you really want to do all this?”
Damon looked at her, “What?”
Chloe shook her head and took out the two bags he brought.
He really bought a lot.
“Although I know you’re talented, Mr. Harper, you still have to work later. You can’t finish cooking all these dishes within an hour.”
Chloe looked at the stuff in the bag, and finally sighed, “How about barbecue, okay?”
Damon frowned, obviously not too keen on the idea.
I haven’t had it for a long time. I want to eat it.”
“Alright, let’s have barbecue then.” Damon nodded. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Chloe paused a bit, a warmth welling up in her heart.
In the end, it was Chloe who started to get busy. Damon stood in the kitchen for a while, wanting to help, but could only watch as he didn’t know how to start.
“What can I do?”
“Hmm? There’s nothing you need to help with.”
… Damon’s frown showed Chloe a bit of his disappointment.
“Right, you can help me set the table. The utensils are in the cabinet next to you”
“Okay “Damon responded and took out two sets of cutlery
Chloe was washing the vegetables and glanced at him, “Why only two sets, where’s Nate?”
“He has other things to do.”
Damon answered without a change in his expression, and already walked out of the kitchen with the cutlery.
Not long after, Chloe came out.
“Ready!”
There was a hint of cheerfulness in Chloe’s voice. The usual coldness and distance disappeared, replaced with a light excitement and anticipation.
Damon sat opposite her, looking at her with interest.
Watching her put the prepared ribs on the grill, Damon picked up the wine glass next to him.
Chloe also picked hers up.
“Cheers to our first meal together, and congratulations on your resignation.”
Chloe chuckled, “Barbecue with red wine, not bad.”
“It should have a unique flavor.”
Damon smoothly deflected the hidden meaning in her words.
The two clinked their glasses.
After putting down the wine glass, Chloe stared at the delicious barbecue without blinking.
Damon casually asked, “Does the barbecue attract you that much?”
Chloe paused, her eyes dimmed a bit.
“It seems… no one has ever eaten this with me at home, it’s the first time today, so it feels fresh…”
Damon felt a stir in his heart, reached for the wine he brought, poured two glasses, and elegantly pushed the wine glass in front of her.
“I’ll be with you in the future. Whatever you want to eat or do, I’ll be with you.”
Regardless of the timing, the place, or the atmosphere, his words were just perfect.
It was hard not to be moved.
“Alright, the meat is ready, let’s eat.”
“Mm.”
Damon gracefully put the meat in Chloe’s bowl.
Chloe stared at the sudden increase in food in her bowl, not knowing what to do.
She really forgot, it’d been so long since someone served her food…
A sour feeling welled up in her heart, she looked up at the elegantly eating man in front of her, and the solid defense in her heart quietly collapsed a bit more.
