Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 621

At that moment, the pot on the stove suddenly began to rattle. Its contents had begun to boil and caused the lid to rise with the steam.

Sydney heard the noise and quickly paused in her actions as she glanced at the stove. "The soup is done, n

"What should I do? " asked Julien.

Pointing at the knob on the stove, she told him, "Turn off the fire, stir the soup with the ladle, and set the pot aside for later."

"Alright. I'll do it. " After saying that, he walked to the stove.

Sydney suddenly thought of something and said, "You only need to stir it. I'll move the pot later.”

Since one of his arms was injured, there was no way he would be able to move the pot to another place with both hands.

Julien also knew he couldn't move the pot, so he didn't refuse her and then turned off the stove.

After that, he picked up the ladle next to the stove and went to remove the lid off the pot.

Unfortunately, because he didn't know anything about cooking skills, he wasn't careful in avoiding the steam as he lifted the lid. As a result, the vapor from the boiling water scalded his wrist.

At once, Julien let out a muffled grunt as his brow furrowed in pain.

Hearing the noise he made, Sydney hurried forward to check on him. "What's the matter? "

He calmly set the lid aside. "Nothing."

"Really? " She squinted in skepticism, clearly not believing his words. After all, she had heard him grunting in pain.

However, Julien only averted his gaze as his eyes flickered. He did not dare to look at her and said, "I'm fine."

"I don't believe you." There was no way Sydney wouldn't be able to tell that he was afraid of being found out. Pursing her lips, she said, "Tell me what happened. Or I'll examine you myself."

Her stern expression and serious tone of voice made him finally compromise. Then, he lifted his right hand and exposed his wrist to her.

When Sydney saw the red patch on his pale skin, she instantly could tell what had happened and asked in dismay, "Did you burn yourself? "

With a lowered head, Julien coughed once to admit it.

Sydney was confused and questioned, "How did you burn yourself?"

"From the steam." He answered as he glanced back at the stove.

At that point, she was both amused and exasperated as she said, "Alright. I see you don't know how to do anything apart from plucking vegetables. I think you'd better leave the kitchen then. You don't have to help me. I'm afraid the more you help me, the busier I will be, and you'll be injured more."

Julien lowered his head in shame. "My apologies..."

He never thought he would be so useless that he would be unable to help even by doing little chores in the kitchen.

She could see that he felt downcast.

After all, he had leaped at the chance to help her, but he caused more trouble for her. It was natural that he would be upset. He felt sorry for her and let her down.

However, Sydney didn't feel disappointed.

It was excusable for Julien not to know these things.

Moreover, she was already comforted by the thought that he had taken the initiative to help out.

"Don't overthink it. I believe that you won't be like this once your arm has fully healed." Sydney assured as she patted his arm in comfort.

As Julien glanced down at his arm, his heart filled with hope once again.

It wasn't that he couldn't do anything well. It was just that his arm hadn't fully healed yet.

Moreover, he could learn to do things that he didn't know how to do.

There was no doubt that he would be able to help her with some things in the future.

At the same time, he discovered that working with her in the kitchen or elsewhere made him elated. It was something he loved doing and he found it extremely satisfying.

Sydney said, "Come with me to treat your burn."

Since she had suffered quite a few burns herself when she first started learning how to cook, she was well aware of what it felt like.

There was no doubt that Julien's wrist prickled with pain at that moment.

Then he followed her out of the kitchen.

After asking him to sit on the couch, Sydney went back to her room and pulled out a family first-aid kit.
