“That’s all?”
“Yeah.” Selena blinked her eyes.
Pierre stared at Selena, feeling annoyed because she was all so happy when she was talking to the children, and she even showered them with kisses and hugs. On the contrary, he didn’t receive any affectionate gestures; even her attitude toward him was rather indifferent.
“Go and prepare dinner then!” Pierre looked away and continued to scroll away on his phone.
“Weird!” mumbled Selena as she headed toward the kitchen.
A while later, Pierre felt too restless to just sit around, so he rose up from his seat and stormed toward the kitchen. He closed the kitchen door behind him as well.
While Selena was washing the vegetables, she asked, “Why did you close the door? With the two of us here in the kitchen, we won’t be able to hear the children if something happens to them.”
“It’s only for a short while. They know what they’re doing.” The children, the children, the children! She only has eyes for the children!
“If you have something to ask me, you can do it now.”
Scratching his head, Pierre tried to make himself sound more natural and said, “I don’t have anything to ask.”
Without sparing him a glance, Selena said, “Then I guess you’d better go out now, because I’m about to cook soon.”
Yet, Pierre didn’t want to leave just like that. “Can’t I just be here to supervise you while you cook?”
“Well, suit yourself.”
“Uhm… The inspectors came today?” Pierre tried to sound indifferent, as though he was just having a casual conversation with Selena.
Feeling amused, Selena knew this man wanted to ask her about this, but he wasn’t bold enough to do so. “Yeap.”
“How was it? Did they make things difficult for you? If they did, I’d beat them up!” said Pierre in a childish manner.
