The crayfish and her instant noodles form a perfect contrast.
Aurora Blaine put on gloves and expertly peeled the shrimp. Just by smelling it, she knew it had to taste good. After eating one, her eyes lit up.
Better than in a five-star restaurant; this was the most delicious crayfish she had ever had!
She had ordered takeout several times before, but none suited her taste, leaving her no choice but to eat instant noodles miserably.
It’s really not easy.
Aurora stood up and went to the fridge to get a can of soda, pairing it with spicy crayfish, perfect!
She previously ate half a bucket of noodles, and although the box of crayfish looked abundant, the shrimp meat was limited once the shells were removed, so there was no pressure finishing the box.
After eating and drinking, Aurora Blaine felt much better.
The phone rang, and Miles Ellison was calling.
Aurora Blaine answered, “Hi.”
Her voice carried a hint of joy and sounded like she was in a good mood.
A heavy voice from the man came through, “Can you handle this alone?”
“I can,” Aurora replied.
“If you feel lonely, you can choose to cry, I won’t laugh at you,” Miles said calmly.
Aurora’s mouth twitched slightly, “Who’s going to cry?”
“Seems like you’re in good spirits. Don’t be too picky with food, eat well. That’s it, hanging up.”
Aurora Blaine stared at the disconnected call, “This guy, really…”
Can’t he say something nice?
The TV in the living room was off, she sat on the sofa, and it was very quiet around, so silent it was a bit scary.
Actually, coming to this city alone without familiar friends, trusted people, or any support is quite lonely…
But, for her sister, this is a process she must go through.
Aurora Blaine tidied up a bit, picked up the signed autograph, and opened the door.
At the moment the door of Room 2101 opened, Ethan Bell stepped into the elevator, perfectly missing each other.
Aurora Blaine pressed the doorbell next door, waiting.
Soon, the door opened.
Maverick Knight was wearing a black loungewear set, giving off a somewhat lazy vibe, thinking Ethan Bell had come back again.
The man’s cold eyes looked at her, seemingly waiting for her to speak.
“Thank you for the crayfish,” Aurora Blaine expressed her gratitude first, then asked, “Can you tell me the name of the store? The taste was really good.”
Although Timothy Knight said the crayfish was cooked by Maverick Knight, Aurora was skeptical.
Once she got the store name, she could order on her own next time if she wanted.
Maverick Knight replied blandly, “I made it.”
“…”
A look of disbelief flashed in Aurora’s eyes.
No way! Is that true?!
She looked Maverick Knight up and down, he didn’t seem like someone who could cook…
Handsome and can cook, and what’s more, his cooking is so delicious, is there any justice left…
As a girl, she couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.
Maverick Knight naturally understood her thoughts at the moment, “Don’t believe it?”
Aurora Blaine gestured with her hand, “No, I believe it.”
There’s no meaning for him to lie to her, anyway.
Recalling the taste of the crayfish, Aurora cleared her throat, “Hey, got any room for a sidekick on your team?”
“…”
Aurora continued, “No, what I mean is, are you interested in making friends? What do you think of me? I think I’m up for it!”
“…”
Actually, Aurora wanted to say that since she lost his chip last time, as compensation, she could accompany him for meals every day!
But well, it’s too shameless to say it out loud, making freeloading meals sound so bold, she needs to hold onto her dignity…
