Elizabeth watched TV leisurely in the living room, but she was listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen carefully. Thinking of James's reaction just now, she was amused.
It had been more than two hours. James had been staying in the kitchen and had not come out.
Another clanking sound of pots and pans came from the kitchen, which made Jane tremble with worry, "Young madam... should we keep young master doing this?" According to what she had heard, she thought that James must have broken so many bowls.
Although Elizabeth also felt sorry for those bowls, she shook her head and said, "Jane, just sit down. Don't worry about it."
"But..."
Elizabeth just smiled, "It's all right. Take today as your holiday."
Jane smiled awkwardly and sat on the seat next to Elizabeth. She was still nervous and didn't know what to do.
In fact, she was not worried about those bowls and pots. She had been working in this family for a long time, and she knew James quite well. She was afraid that if she didn't help him, he would blame her for not helping him when he was angry.
Alas! It was hard to be a nanny! She had to clean the house, cook delicious food, and take care of her employers' mood. At this moment, she even worried that James would go berserk at any time. Alas! Jane, a middle-aged woman, was really in a dilemma. She was not young anymore, and she felt that she was about to have a heart attack due to fear.
"Oh sh*t!" James shouted with surprise and panic.
Then they heard the sound of some tool being thrown to the ground.
Elizabeth was shocked. She hurriedly threw away the remote control and ran to the kitchen, and Jane followed her in a hurry.
"James?" Elizabeth pulled the handle and found that the door was locked from inside. She pounded at the door, "What's wrong with you?"
In the kitchen, James raised his hand which got injured when he cut the vegetables in shock, feeling so annoyed and regretful in heart.
Listening to the pounding sound behind him, he said bitterly after a long while, "I'm fine!" After saying that, he put his hand under the faucet sadly and washed it, but he still didn't feel better. Then he put it on his mouth and thought, "The saliva is a good thing for disinfection!"
"Are you really all right?" Elizabeth was still worried.
"Yeah. Just wait for me to prepare a sumptuous meal for you!" If she came in, she would definitely laugh at him!
Elizabeth pursed her lips, "Do you want me to help you?" At this time, Jane tried to ask, "Young master, why don't I come in and help you prepare it?"
James glanced around the messy kitchen desperately and immediately refused, "It's okay! Don't worry about it. I can handle it myself!"
Although James said so, he was just proud and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Elizabeth and Jane.
He chose several dishes and wanted to cook them according to the recipe on his mobile phone, but later he rejected them all.
Some dishes looked delicious, but they were difficult to cook. Some dishes were easy to cook, but trimming vegetables was too troublesome. Some dishes were not only complicated to cook, but it also took lots of time to wash the food ingredients.
So, finally, he only chose two relatively simple dishes — boiled laver tofu soup and fried eggs with tomatoes.
