Naomi looked at the pan with much anxiety.
"This won't explode, right?"
Nelson shook his head and reassured her, "No, it won't. You can put it in slowly!"
Naomi held the piece of salmon in her hands and moved forward towards the pan a little. Then, she backed away in a timid way.
She said, "I'm still a little scared!"
At the moment, she was no longer as tough as she had been when she fought with those men that night. She had become like a little girl who was facing her fears. It was an adorable scene.
Nelson really loved the way she looked at the moment.
He reached out his hand and held her arm as he cajoled, "Slowly put it down like this..."
Before his voice faded, the water on the salmon came into contact with the oil on the pan, making some noise and frightening Naomi. As a result, she jumped straight into Nelson.
Her legs were wrapped around his waist, and her arms were tightly wound around his neck.
"Didn't you say it wouldn't explode?"
Nelson could not help but laugh and say, "It really didn't!"
Naomi turned around in doubt, only to hear the sizzling sound of the pan of oil behind her. The salmon that she had placed was already smelling good.
"There really was no explosion!"
"So, why don't you come down from me now?"
Naomi was embarrassed and hurriedly let go of her grip. She did not forget to check on his injuries. She asked, "Are you alright? How do you feel? Your wounds didn't split open, right?"
Nelson shook his head and said, "Of course not. How can I be that weak?"
Naomi let out a sigh of relief and turned to slowly observe the salmon.
"You can flip the salmon over now!" Nelson reminded her. Naomi replied in assent and hurriedly turned the salmon over to its other side.
With the mishap just now, Naomi was no longer that nervous.
Later onwards, under Nelson's instructions, she finished preparing all the dishes.
After a long hustle, she finally knew how hard it was to cook. She looked back at how often Sugar Bun and herself had asked their mom to cook for them. Doing so must have been hard on her.
"Go and get changed. It's time to eat!" Nelson reminded her. Only then did she come back to her senses.
She replied, "Alright!"
Naomi was covered with the smell of raw salmon and smoke. So, she decided to take a bath. After changing into clean clothes, she came out.
As soon as she opened the door, the room was dark!
Naomi was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at her room.
There was no power outage!
"Nelson?" Naomi called out in a low voice. At the same time, a sudden 'click' sounded from the dining area, and a flame was ignited.
A candle could be seen vaguely.
"Come here, quick!"
Naomi closed the bedroom door behind her and slowly walked over. Nelson had set up a candlelight dinner.
As soon as Naomi walked over, Nelson reached out his hand to help her pull back her seat.
Naomi noticed that Nelson had changed his clothes. He wore a dark grey suit, which had been brought by Richard, and looked very stylish.
Just as she looked at the table, she heard a teasing chuckle.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring so blankly?"
Naomi came back to her senses and said, "I'm not..."
Nelson did not expose her. Instead, he picked up the glass in front of him and twirled it, "Would you like to try some? I've asked Richard to prepare this!"
Naomi did not hesitate and picked up the glass to take a sip.
"It's good."
As the daughter of Amos Granger, although there were many things that she disliked, she still needed to be knowledgeable in them. After all, she was still the daughter of a rich and powerful family. She could not be laughed at when she was outside.
Upon seeing her calm appearance, Nelson remembered the time when he had first started to go to school. Due to his lack of knowledge regarding this matter since childhood, he had spent an immense amount of effort to study them.
At that time, even the teacher had laughed at him.
