Chapter 12: Mixed Signals
Looking at the driver driving the topic farther, I quickly explained, "Mister, you misunderstood. He is not NôvelDrama.Org © content.
my husband and my child is not his."
The driver glanced at us through the rearview mirror as if we had a long story. I didn't want to explain
anymore. Anyway, it would only make things worse. Now, I just need to let Gavin know that the child
wasn't his. As for other things, the driver didn't know me anyway, so I didn't care.
After we got out of the car, the driver let us out and drove away without bothering to take another guest
with him. Gavin paid for the ride. He said, of course, "You definitely did not bring any money when you
came out. I know."
I do not know how he found out, but I really did not bring any money. The snowball seems to keep
rolling, but Gavin had no intention of stopping. He sent me upstairs, opened the door and even asked
for food. I said no, he would not listen.
Gavin said, "Janet said you must rest now. I have asked for two days' leave. You do not need to cook. I
will do that for you."
"Wait, You can cook?"
"No, but we can order takeout." He said.
"But takeout is not healthy. It's better for me to do it myself."
"I know a store where the food is very healthy. Trust me. I am the old customer there." Then he stood
up and made a call.
Thought that the restaurant which could make Gavin an old customer must be very astonishing. Surely
the things sent here were simply a bowl of porridge. When I took a spoonful of it, I was surprised at
how it tasted. It was really amazing.
He only ordered one bowl so I suggested that we share. "You should eat, too. I can't finish this whole
bowl anyway. Let me get you some."
Gavin did not refuse. This was the first time we had dined at the same table. He looked very handsome
at dinner and was so elegant that I found it hard to look away.
Gavin did not look at me, but suddenly said, "Am I that good-looking? Haven't you seen enough after
staring for a long time?"
I felt my cheeks burning! Blame me for being obsessed by this scene, I am just so fascinated! I had to
apologize immediately, "I am sorry!" I said.
However, Gavin immediately said "You don't have to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong.
Why do you always feel sorry?"
I didn't know what to say, so I just hung my head down.
After eating, Gavin said, "You didn't eat much. Do you want something else?"
I quickly shook my head and said, "No, I'm good.."
"I see..." Gavin touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "But I haven't had enough yet."
I quickly said, "Don't call convenient food then. I'll simply cook some noodles for you. Is that okay?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. It won't take long to cook instant noodles."
"Very well, then." After saying that, Gavin took out his chopsticks and sat down in the living room,
looking obedient as if he was waiting for me to cook the pasta. Such a scene was rare to see indeed.
Seeing Gavin, the boss of a big company, waiting so calmly was a sight that would definitely stun
people.
I quickly cooked a bowl of tomato and egg pasta. After I served it, Gavin looked at me in wonder and
said, "That's it?"
"Yes, that's it. If you don't like it, I can cook something else."
I was about to get up and start cooking again when Gavin quickly stopped me and said, "Forget it. This
is enough. After all, simple dishes can show off a person's cooking skills."
