Chapter 1702 A Mere Mortal
Although he was involved in some scandal as well in the past and Cindy was also anxious about that, she was not in
the same state back then. Ian gave a dry smile as he went over to the door and looked at her as she busied herself
in the kitchen. She looked rather beautiful that way, which tickled Ian's heart.
Soon, Aurora passed by Ian. She turned around and walked toward her room. "Ah, I have been checking the phone
all day and did not get to sleep. I have to return to my room to lie down for a while. Thus, I won’t be able to hear
anything. Just say whatever you want between you two."
He knew that she was creating an opportunity for the two of them, so he did not say anything else and waited for
her to go back to her room and close the door before he walked toward the kitchen.
Cindy had already cooked the rice and she was now preparing to fry it. Then, Ian went over and stood by the sink.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA startled Cindy hadn't even noticed he had come over. The only thing inside the sink were some vegetables, which
had already been washed, and to be honest, there was nothing he could help with. Since he was unfamiliar with the
kitchen, he could make a mess out of everything.
However, Ian still insisted, "Find something for me to do. Anything I can help you with?"
Those words were really not easy for him to say, so when she heard him saying so, she couldn’t refuse him. She
thought about it and replied, "Then, help me to slice these vegetables."
Following that, she also did not forget to remind him, "Be careful."
Ian was not that stupid to not be able to cut vegetables. He used to live alone and although he did not often cook,
he still knew basic things like how to cook noodles or an omelet. Therefore, he nodded and washed the vegetables
again before he sliced them and cast them aside. As he looked quite serious while doing all this, she couldn’t help
but stare at the side for a while. To be honest, even though he was really attractive onstage, she felt that he looked
different while watching him in the kitchen cutting vegetables and cooking. I suppose he will be good to his wife in
the future, like John and Logan. His wife should also be a good wife like Sophia and Lola.
Cindy withdrew her gaze and went back to start heating up the pan. Since she drizzled the oil, she intended to fry
the vegetables. While she did so, there was no need for Ian to be there, so she said, "Go out and wait. The fumes
will be heavy here in a while."
While wiping his hands, Ian turned to lean on the sink. "It's okay, I'm not afraid."
His reaction had caught Cindy by surprise and she wondered what he wanted to do. She turned her head to him
and frowned. "Then, what are you doing here? Go over to the sofa and watch TV."
"What's so good about TV?" He stared at her with crossed arms.
The statement made Cindy confused. What's so good about TV? What's so great about watching me frying
vegetables?
She tried to steady herself and turned her head to start heating the oil before she threw Ian's chopped vegetables
into the wok and started to stir-fry. The way she fried the vegetables was quick and decisive; it was obvious that she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas frugal and often cooked at home.
He also did not know what was going on in his mind. The more he watched her, the more he liked it. It was not that
he had never seen her prepare food before, but he never had such a feeling. He suddenly felt warm and content in
his heart. In fact, all the news on the Internet didn’t have any impact on him and he seemed to be emotionally
stable too.
Compared to Ian’s behavior, Cindy's heart was in a state of flux.
As he had a focused and deep gaze, how would she be able to stand it? That man had such a gorgeous face with a
pair of beautiful eyes. She was just a mere mortal—how could she endure it?
She suppressed her emotions and finished stir-frying the vegetables before plating it. Then, she turned to hand the
plate to him.
"Take it to the table."
Ian laughed a little, but he obediently took the plate over. Cindy originally wanted to take advantage of this matter
to make him leave the kitchen, but unexpectedly, after he brought the plate away, he came back within a few
seconds.
