After hanging up, she gathered her hair into a tie and moved the groceries to the kitchen.
Last night, Marcus had enthusiastically consumed three bowls of rice, savoring the delightful dishes she’d prepared. She felt a sense of achievement when he relished her cooking.
Tonight, she planned a menu of beef brisket stew with potatoes, pork, spicy lobster, silvery pomfret fish, soup, and vegetables.
After turing on the gas, she started to cook.
When Marcus arrived home, he was welcomed by the delicious scent of food. When he entered the dining room, his eyes widened at the sumptuous spread on the table, and a genuine smile lit his face.
“Wash your hands, and let’s eat,” Millie said, setting the tableware and prompting him.

As Millie savored the beef, he watched her with a focused gaze.

Millie’s culinary skills shone through in the succulent beef and the beautifully braised fish, balanced with vegetables to offset any richness. All in all, it made for an impeccable dining experience.
Marcus finished his bowl of rice quickly.
“Handyour bowl, and I’ll serve you srice,” Millie offered.
Marcus passed the bowl to her, smiling at her as she refilled it.
“Here you go,” Millie said, returning the bowl. She noticed him smiling at her, making her feel self- conscious. Thus, she adjusted her hair before continuing to eat.
