Evan brought a lot of groceries and desserts over. Seeing that there were quite a few books lying around the living room, he asked while bringing in the items, "Madam, are you preparing for your postgraduate entrance exam?"
I nodded and said, "I've always wanted to take the exam, but I kept getting delayed. So, it's just nice that I have time to do it now. It's better than not doing anything."
He smiled and said, "Well, it's pretty nice to do what you love."
I was amused. It was rare for someone who was as cold and straightforward as Evan to say something like this.
When Hendrix returned with Anne, I had just washed the vegetables and was ready to cook.
Seeing that I was in the kitchen, his tall figure wrapped itself around me from behind. He looked at me tenderly and said, "Every time I see you in the kitchen, I always think of how I'm the happiest man on earth."
I couldn't help but laugh. "Cheeky! Who's coming over later?" "Aaron and his fiancee, who is also your sister-inlaw," He said with a smile. When he noticed that I was looking at him, he took the opportunity to kiss me.
I went speechless momentarily and dodged him. I said, "Anne and Evan are here, stop fooling around."
His voice was deep and hoarse. He begged, "Just five seconds!"
But five seconds was not enough. If the food in the pot was not about to be burnt, he would probably have taken several more seconds.
After the food was prepared, a car honk sounded from outside the courtyard. Anne, being the lively child that she was, heard the sound and instantly ran outside.
Seeing Aaron getting out of the car, Anne jumped onto him without hesitation and greeted him in a sweet voice, "Uncle Aaron!"
Aaron held Anne in his arms, and opened the car door of the front passenger seat.
I never would've guessed that Yana would be the lady.
I hadn't seen her a lot, and it's been four years since we last met. She still had a gentle and elegant demeanor, whereas her go- to bodyhugging dress had changed into a long, loose dress.
