True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1482

At seven o'clock in the evening.

The ground floor of Leah's apartment.

Ernest parked his car. Leah took her keys and said, "I'll bring the turtles up first. I bought a little too many things, so I might have to trouble you with helping me carry them."

"I'll take this one. You can go ahead and send the turtles up, and then you don't have to come down." He said, "I can take these up myself."

"Then you can take care of this downstairs while I start cooking some tacos. That way we can start dinner earlier."

"Okay." He was very willing to do as she said.

Leah carried the plastic box that contained her two turtles. She was also carrying a backpack as well as one bag in her hands as she went upstairs to open the door.

Ernest came up soon after. He carried three bags in each hand, and he looked rather strong.

Ernest was behind Leah when they reached her floor, and she quickly opened the doors and made way for him to enter.

Ernest's demeanor was languid and said to him instead, "You go in first."

"But you're carrying more things in your hands," Leah responded.

"This is a piece of cake for me. Come on, let's not dawdle." He had no need to rush.

"Alright, this humble one shall follow your orders." Leah quickly entered through the door and placed the box with turtles on the floor.

Ernest entered soon after and piled six bags on the floor as well. He then said to Leah, "I'll go downstairs and take the rest. I'll take the keys, you can start prepping."

"Okay." She chuckled. "Thank you, really."

"You're welcome." He took the keys from her hands and went back downstairs.

Leah said to her turtles, "My little babies, I'll take care of you later, I need to cook for Ernest right now."

She quickly washed her hands, then picked up the ingredients and went to the kitchen to sort them out.

When Ernest took his second trip back up, he could already smell the aroma of her cooking, and it smelled delicious.

He turned his head and looked at the busy figure in the kitchen. She was focused on frying the food, with gentleness and grace.

She didn't seem to realize that Ernest was staring at her, and his gaze softened.

Seeing her head hanging down and her hair let loose, it made her neck look long and slender. She looked different from how she usually appeared, but she looked extraordinarily beautiful nonetheless. Without noticing it, Ernest stared at her for a little while longer before he turned around and left again.

Leah had finished frying the base of the filling, and it smelled lovely. Then, she added the ground meat to cook.

After she was done frying, she began arranging the different toppings like lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and a few extra bottles of herbs. She plated everything and set them on the table.

Ernest took four rounds to fully carry everything, not knowing the sheer extent of items Leah had bought.

Once he was finished, her room was packed full.

After entering, Ernest put back the keys to its original spot then went into the kitchen and asked, "Do you need any help?"

Leah raised her head and saw a sheen of sweat on his handsome face. She replied immediately,

"You're done carrying all of it?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

"Then I do need your help." She smiled. "Come here. Take a bottle of water here and drink it for me."

Ernest was surprised. Hearing her words, he really wanted to laugh.

"Thank you," he said.

"Don't mention it. I've been treating you as free labor and you've been nothing but kind to me, I'm not used to that," she said as she placed some sliced avocados onto a plate. "The sink is in the room beside this one. You can choose either this sink or that sink."

"I'll use the one in the next room." He said and turned around. After washing his hands, he realized there was no towel.

Just as he had his realization, Leah came out from her bedroom and handed him a fresh new towel. "You can use this to wipe your hands, it's unused."

"Thank you," he said.

Leah returned to get him some water and handed it over. "Go drink some water. You sweated much, you need to hydrate yourself."

Ernest took the bottle of water and drank it in one go.

Leah turned off the heat and transferred the taco fillings into a bowl. After that, she set up the dinner table properly with the plates of vegetables and toppings and made final adjustments. When she was done, she said to Ernest, "Let's dig in!"

Ernest walked over and took a look at the table full of dishes, and it was astonishingly lavish.

He spotted a bowl with dipping sauce and a plate with tortillas in front of him. He looked at Leah in surprise and asked, "You seem heavily familiar with cooking tacos. Have you ever taken classes for it?"
