As Larry was immersed in pride, Joan couldn't help but mock, “Why are you such a narcissist? But to be fair, you're awesome.” She also commended him sincerely.
Larry was on cloud nine with her compliment.
“Let's dig in,” Larry said to Joan while handing over a fork and a spoon to her.
Joan took the cutlery from him. As she was nearly drooling over the food, she quickly picked up some shredded potatoes and began eating.
“Wow, this is delicious!” Her eyes glowed after chewing the food for a while. “Try this. It's really delicious.”
Joan had turned into a glutton. After asking
Larry to try the food, she basically ignored him since then and focused entirely on trying different dishes.
Meanwhile, Larry felt an inexplicable stirring of pride.
Besides, he was relieved that all of his efforts didn't go down the drain. After all, it was the best reward to see that Joan was delighted.
“Slow down. Wait for me.”
She had finished half of the dishes even before Larry started eating.
After a while, Joan patted her stomach and said with much satisfaction, “I'm so full. It's wonderful to have such delicious food.”
“I'll cook for you more often since you like it so much,” Larry said delightedly upon seeing Joan gleamed with satisfaction.
“Really? Dear, you're the best!”
The next moment, she sprang toward him and kissed him on his cheek.
“I don't have to cook from now on! You're the perfect househusband!” Joan said with a wry smile on her face.
“Since you're so smug, I think you should cook instead. Otherwise, you'll become an idler,” Larry huffed when Joan was still smiling smugly.
