Chapter 31

“Love, you look tired,” Mike said. I was in his house, lying on his couch, while he was making himself busy in the kitchen. What I like about him is that he accustomed himself to a woman’s chores since he knew that I wouldn’t be able to do that for him.

 

“Just some pack matters,” I replied, and then I saw him put down the cotton cloth he was holding. Then he went to the refrigerator and took out a flask before coming to me.

 

“Here, drink this,” he said as he handed it to me. I smiled, took it from him, and started to sip. “Lemon juice is your favorite,” he said, smiling.

 

“Thank you so much.”

 

“You’re most welcome,” he replied before he went back to the kitchen and continued doing whatever he was doing. “You rest and relax because I am making you your favorite mac and cheese.”
