True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1588

Leah noticed his rather fierce reaction and smiled and said, "I'm talking about cooking. What did you think I was talking about?"

Ernest's expression went stiff.

Leah was doing this on purpose. Did he have to feel embarrassed?

He took a deep look at Leah.

Leah continued casually as if she wasn't trying to tease him, "But to be honest, I think there's nothing wrong with cooking at home. It's clean and saves money, don't you think so?"

He had to adapt to her pace.

Ernest didn't respond this time. He remained calm and continued to make breakfast.

"Actually, I often make breakfast myself. No, wait, it should be lunch. I can't get up for breakfast and it's the same for class. I usually find something to eat after class."

"That's not healthy. Many experts say breakfast is important, you should eat it on time, you should've heard of this." Ernest kindly reminded her.

"I've heard a lot of experts talk about it, but I don't always remember it. Why don't you, an expert, tell me?" Leah said with a smile, "What harm would it bring if I don't eat breakfast?"

"Leah, are you doing this on purpose?" Ernest turned to look at Leah, his expression serious.

Leah was stunned for a few beats. "Yes, I am. Can't you see I was just spewing nonsense? I came here to chat with you because I was afraid that you might've felt embarrassed."

"Don't you know what the most embarrassing thing is? Are you going to mention everything?"

"Oh, in my opinion, if you want to talk about embarrassing things, nothing would be as awkward as you were just now. I touched upon your physical problem mere moments ago, that would be the most embarrassing thing, right?"

Leah admired herself as she got around the matter.

She glanced at Ernest and was surprised at how embarrassed his expression was.

Leah thought it was really funny, but she also thought he looked really cute.

Ernest could only yield. He had to admit that Leah was a very smart and interesting girl. But all he could think of was if this was how she usually acts. Would she normally make such a ridiculous joke between her friends?

After a moment of hesitation, he asked.

"Do you play such jokes on the boys in your class?"

"How could I? How can I joke with other boys like this? I only do this with you." She said it so seriously it made Ernest's heart flutter.

Leah saw her reflection in his chilling eyes.

She said, "Believe me, this is really the first time I'm cracking such a joke with you, and I only do it with you."

"Why?" Ernest asked her very pensively.

Leah thought about it seriously before saying, "I just like to. There's no reason."

Ernest didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Leah's nonsensical answer.

"Well, do as you please!" Inside, Ernest was ecstatic, because this meant that he stood out in a special place in Leah's heart. He thought about it as he continued cooking.

Ernest's breakfast was still as splendid as the last time she had it. There was neatly poached egg, crispy hash browns, fresh greens, and two juicy sausages on the side. It was delicious.

This time, Leah ate two servings for Ernest's sake.

As soon as she finished eating, someone knocked on the door.

Ernest raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Could it be Hogan from last night?"

Leah frowned and shook her head. "That's impossible. What is he doing here?"

"Maybe he came to apologize!" said Ernest softly.

He stood up to clean the dishes and put them into the sink with a serious expression.
