"So did you learn cooking just for me?" Karen Joy Kyle put on a wide smile. She didn't feel any pain from her injury anymore.
"I just didn't want to starve myself." Nathaniel Cooper served the dishes on the table and filled a bowl of soup for Karen Joy. "Taste the soup first."
"Brother Lionel, why can't you just admit it?" He obviously learned cooking for her, why wouldn't he admit it?
"Admit what?" Nathaniel asked.
"Don't forget that a man who doesn't speak his mind is unattractive." Karen Joy said.
"Of course, I don't want my Karen to starve too." Nathaniel smiled and said gently.
"That sounds about right."
"Mm, why don't you drink the soup?"
This little girl was silly sometimes. As she was preparing dinner for him, she even starved herself until her stomach growled and still didn't eat anything.
She had been well taken care of ever since she was a child. She had never suffered like this.
She did all of this for him.
At this moment, Nathaniel secretly decided that he would not let this girl suffer anymore.
Karen Joy picked up the bowl and took a small sip. She tasted it and felt that it tasted good. She took another mouthful and commented, "Brother Lionel, the soup is really delicious!"
"Try the dishes then." Nathaniel served her some chicken. "Eat more. Girls look better when they are a little chubby."
Seeing that she was trying to do so many things just for him, it seemed that she was still the little child who had to be taken care of by others.
Karen Joy pouted and said, "Brother Lionel, do you mean that I don't look good now?"
Nathaniel was slightly stunned, and he rephrased his words quickly, "You look good now too, but you will look better if you grow chubbier."
Karen Joy pursed her lips and said, "Aren't you a sweet talker."
Nathaniel smiled. This little girl was good at trapping people with her words, but sometimes she was as innocent as a child. She looked so happy with just simple praises and compliments.
Karen Joy ate a big mouthful of food and nodded happily. She really didn't expect that her Brother Lionel's cooking skills were so good, and it was as good as her mother's.
"Do you like it?" Nathaniel asked.
"It tastes so good." Karen Joy nodded hard.
"If it's good, then eat more." Nathaniel put more food to her plate and wiped her mouth with a napkin. He took good care of her, as if he was afraid that she would be hungry.
"Brother Lionel, you should eat too." Karen Joy also gave him some food. "It would be better if we eat together."
"Of course I will eat, but I have to feed my greedy kitten first. I can't let her starve." For Nathaniel, watching her eat was his kind of happiness.
"Who is your greedy kitten?" She was not his greedy kitten, he was not her anything yet.
"Oh, aren't you?" Nathaniel thought for a moment and then said solemnly, "Then I have to try my best to make her become my greedy kitten."
He actually said that he would try his best to make her his very own greedy kitten!
Was Brother Lionel expressing his love to her indirectly?
Did he mean that he would marry her in the future and own her?
