Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 17

Considering the number of people at home, she made some dumplings with the flour, beef, shrimp and dried scallop found in the fridge and cooked a large pot of seafood porridge. The smell was so nice that Nora couldn't stop licking her lips.

She greeted, "Amelia?"

Amelia put down the spoon and turned around, greeting Nora, "Hey Nora, how was your sleep?"

"Why don't you take a short nap?" Nora was was dumbfounded by the reeky food, "You've cooked all these?"

Amelia nodded with a smile.

Nora admired her, "I thought you must have been exhausted when you went back and forth last night. I didn't expect you to get up earlier than me. Tell me, did you do it with Patrick last night?"

"You know what I mean..."

Amelia did not refuse and said, "So could you set up the bowl and chopsticks please?"

The sisters-in-laws helped each other in the kitchen and when Eve came downstairs, the table was full of porridge, dumplings, fish and tonic food for Patrick.

Seeing Eve's awkward look, Nora told frankly, "Mom, you see how awesome Amelia is - She woke up early to cook all these."

The dispute last night made Eve unconvinced of Amelia's ingenuity. Eve scorned, "Alright, it's just a meal. It seems that she is really somebody."

Hearing this, Amelia, who prepared the vinegar in the kitchen, sighed - she should have expected her difficulty when she insisted on the dispute with Eve last night.

In the bedroom.

"Achoo - "
