Chapter 1507
Nathan gulped a bit, his gaze shifting from her face to the pot in the chef''s hand. His eyebrows
knitted together slightly, his tone carrying a hint of reproof. "What are you doing here? The chef is
already here."
Yulia bit her lip gently, her eyes flickered and finally shifted away, hiding the disappointment in her
eyes. She moved a little, pushing Nathan away and stepped out of his embrace. "I''m fine. I heard
that the chef your brother hired for his wife is pretty dope, so I was just curious."
Even though she had been in his arms for merely a couple of minutes, Nathan felt oddly
ufortable as he looked at his now empty embrace.
A dish was quickly prepared and the chef ced it on a te, his gaze shifting between the two. He
then stepped back, addressing Yulia, "Didn''t you say you wanted to try? Here''s your chance."
Yulia nodded slightly and reached for the kitchen utensils with ease.
The chef held the te of food, cast a meaningful nce at Nathan, and whispered, "When a
woman wants to cook, it''s usually not for her own taste buds."
With that, he gave Nathan a smile. Then he called for his assistant, and left the kitchen. "One dish is
enough for ten minutes. I''ll be back in ten."
He turned to Yulia and gave her a quick instruction.
"Alright." Yulia responded, wiped the pot with a clean cloth, and ced it on the stove.
Yulia thought that Nathan would leave as well. But he remained in the kitchen. Yulia couldn''t help
but turn to him and say, "What are you doing here?"
Nathan stared at her for a long time, then slowly approached her. The fiery look in his eyes made
Yulia''s heart flutter, she quickly turned her head, picked up the oil, and poured it into the already
heated pot.
Nathan finally stopped beside her, watching her movements silently.
Yulia added garlic to the pot and fried it until it was fragrant. The sizzling soundpletely masked
her heartbeat. She thought she had rxed, but the next second, the body behind her pressed
against her,pletely enclosing her in his embrace. Her hand that was holding the spat
suddenly paused, and her body tensed up. Her ears were covered with strands of hair, and a warmContent is property of N?velDrama.Org.
touch suddenly came.
"Yulia. We haven''t seen each other for a few days, huh?" Nathan''s low voice suddenly sounded by
her ear, and Yulia''s heart skipped a beat.
"About...a week, I guess." To be precise, it was six days.
"Hmm. Only six days."
Nathan''s muffled voice seemed to carry a hint of dissatisfaction. It was only six days, but why did it
feel like months or even years to him? This woman, was indeed addictive. Otherwise, why would he
be so confused about time? As soon as he saw her, his whole body felt hot. His lips lightly touched
her slender neck, his hands awkwardly enclosing her from the front.
Yulia was a bit nervous, and as she turned her head towards the kitchen door, she whispered to
Nathan, "Stop joking around."
Nathan''s deep and warm breath was particrly clear in her ear. "Stop cooking. Let''s go
downstairs."
Downstairs was their "home", his intentions tantly obvious.
Yulia''s heart almost jumped out of her chest, her legs involuntarily softened. "No, stop joking. There
are people outside, and the food is about to burn."
Seeing the garlic in the pot was about to turn ck, she reached for the chili pepper, and her chin
was turned by the man. In an instant, their lips connected, entwined together. His dominance, just
like him, left no room for resistance.
Yulia''s hand trembled, and all the chili peppers in the te fell into the pot. The consequence was
predictable. A pungent spicy smell instantly filled the entire kitchen. Nathan, who was enjoying his
happiness, was caught off guard by the dry spiciness, and he started coughing. Even Yulia started
coughing while covering her nose. For a moment, the kitchen was filled with nothing but the choking
spiciness and their coughing.
Hearing the noise, people outside curiously walked in. Chloe and Rose hadn''t even entered the
kitchen when they were choked by the smell and started coughing.
"Cough, cough, are you guys eating fried chili pepper?" Rose couldn''t help but say while coughing.
Chloe looked at the chef and the helpers, and pointed inside while covering her nose. The helpers
quickly rushed in, and Nathan pulled Yulia out of the kitchen.
The kitchen was full of smoke, Chloe could even see a thinyer of smoke on Nathan and Yulia who
dashed out. Their bent-over coughing figures were somewhat hrious.
In the end, Yulia gave up on cooking and sat in the living room chatting with Chloe and the others.
Nathan seemed at ease wherever he was. Sitting with three women, he didn''t feel awkward at all,
engrossed in ying his mobile game. asionally he would nce at Yulia sitting next to him,
moisten his lips, and then bury his head to continue ying.
Yulia felt a burning sensation in her throat from the spiciness and intermittently sipped water from
her cup, her crimson lips glistening from the water.
Nathan also felt very thirsty. Because he nced at Yulia just now, he was instantly killed in the
game. He couldn''t help but curse under his breath.
The three women immediately turned to look at him. Nathan waved his phone, "Just a game, got
defeated."
Chloe blinked and leaned over, "Defeated? What game are you ying?"
"Check it out. This one." Nathan handed his phone to Chloe.
Chloe took a look, "It should be stress-relieving."
"Of course, sometimes when you''re feeling down, defeating a few characters in the game naturally
brings joy."
Chloe nodded, "I see."
Seeing her interest, Nathan immediately suggested, "y with me, I''ll teach you."
Rose suddenlyughed and walked over to Nathan. "Let me see what game it is. If it''s that stress-
relieving, I think it''s perfect for us soon-to-be moms."
In the end, the other three women in the room also downloaded the game on their phones. Before
the game was done downloading, they were called to go to the dining room for dinner.
