Chapter 4 Let's Have Dinner Together

Since they had dinner that day, Lily hadn't seen James for several days.

But it didn't matter. Lily had a nameless fear of him, even though he gave her a lot.

She hadn't seen him for several days. Lily was relaxed. She was familiar with the villa. She was very familiar with everything there except for James' room and study.

Lily were very familiar with Lara and Bill. They were very nice to her and she liked to stay with them.

Lara was very kind to Lily, not only because she was brought back by Mr. James, but also because Lily was very clever. When Mr. James was away these days, Lara always cooked with Lily's taste. This made Lily, who had no parents since childhood, seemed to feel the love of her mother.

When there was nobody else around, Lara always called her Lily, "do you want to cook too? You are so young, but you are good at cooking and you are a quick learner. Nowadays, many girls can't cook these dishes. "

"No, of course not... I just like to cook... "Lily said while helping her with the vegetables. "When I was home alone, I learned some skills."

Lily had been telling Lara about her birth parents the past few days. Lara loves lily dearly, so she treats lily as her own daughter

Lara didn't want to make Lily think about the sad things, so she changed the subject and talked about her interesting cooking. Although it was nothing serious, it was amusing to Lily and she listen to her carefully. She had never done this before.

Lara told her how to cook. The kitchen was quiet and peaceful. With Lara's guidance, Lily quickly learnt how to cook new dishes. The pots and pans were arranged in order and soon the dinner was ready.

The moment she put the dish on the table, she heard the sound of a car from a distance. Lily wondered whether James came back? It was such a coincidence that she saw the dishes on the table and was a little worried. He probably wouldn't like these

Lily began to feel nervous. After all, they just met once and the only conversation they had last time was not very pleasant.

'Lara and Bill went out to receive him. It must be him, ' Lily thought.

Lily didn't know how to face James until he came in.

When James came in, she hadn't taken off her apron yet. Not knowing why, he felt that her dressing made him particularly happy, as if it had made this place more "home". And she was like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.

wife? This thought flashed through James' mind.

She stood blankly at the table and looked at him carefully, "you... You are back... "It was not a good start.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days. Do you miss me?" His voice was as tender as water, and they were so familiar like the lover whom she hadn't seen for days. That made Lily feel that they had lived together for many years.

"Are these dishes cooked by you?" It seemed that there was no need for her to give an answer, he asked again.

"How do you know?" As soon as her words came out, she immediately regretted having said that. Would her tone be not good.

But James didn't care at all. "I don't think Lara will do that."

Lily looked upset, but didn't notice the smile on his face.

Spareribs with brown sauce, sweet and sour fish, and stir fried cabbage, the last one was Lily's best dish. The first two dishes were directed by Lara, and Lily seldom cooked them before. But, with her patience, she also perfectly cooked them.

"I didn't know you would be back, so I cooked Chinese food. How about I ask Lara to prepare another Western food for you?" Lily replied. She noticed that the only dish they had together was Western food, so she thought that James liked Western food more.

"No, that's good," he sat down and said, "let's eat."

She sat down there weakly. What if he didn't like it?

Then Lily noticed that James ate a whole bowl of rice. 'compared to last time, he ate a lot.' is he praising me? 'she thought?

Seeing her eating absentmindedly, James picked up a piece of fish and was about to put it in her bowl when he suddenly remembered something. He took back his chopsticks, removed the fish bones and put it in her bowl.

James saw the surprised look on her face. "Your mind wanders when you eat."

As if a child was caught red handed, her face suddenly turned red. She tried to defend herself in her heart, "it's all because you always do strange things."

Seeing her burying her head eating, James found it funny that he thought of her as a wife. 'she was a girl who didn't know anything, ' he thought.

Lily could feel his smile, but she just didn't want to think about it. Anyway, it was all about her. Pretending not to know, she ate more quickly in order to finish the dinner with bad atmosphere.

After the meal, Lily went back to her room immediately.

After shower, she sat on the edge of the bed, distracted.

Why did he take her home? He looked so young as if he owned everything.

She was extremely restless and couldn't stay there for no reason at all. She suddenly jumped out of the bed without thinking about anything. She just wanted to know the reason why he adopted her. So she ran all the way to the room where James was and wanted to ask him why.

Only when she knocked on the door did she realize what she was doing. And what position did she have to take to force herself to ask him about her feelings in an unassailable manner? It was okay for her to be obedient

Just when she was about to sneak away, she heard his voice from the door, "come in."

At this moment, she had no choice but to walk in.

He seemed to have just taken a shower, with his hair still wet. Such a him was not as frightening as he was in the daytime.

The fact that he had been staring at her made her uneasy.

"Why don't you sleep at night? A night owl? "He was teasing her.

"Of course not!" She blushed at once.

"Where are your shoes?" He walked towards her.

Lily lowered her head and realized that she came out in a hurry. She didn't wear shoes and felt embarrassed. She immediately pinched the floor with her toes.

James thought she was so cute when she did that.

James took her hand on his shoulder. Before she was confused, James had already scooped her up in his arms. She was startled and wrapped his neck with her arms.

Seeing that Lily was as lovely as a child, he suddenly wanted to play with her. For a moment, he did not want to put her down.
