Chapter 428
Bonnie’s brows knitted tightly. “Why couldn’t you have been more careful?”
It might’ve sounded like she was scolding him, but the deep affection in her tone was unmistakable.
Ivor’s lips curled into a smile. ‘It’s great that my hands got burnt. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how much she cared about me.‘
“It’s okay. These are but small injuries. It’ll recover by itself after a few days.”
Turning around, she climbed the stairs and brought her medkit down. “I’m going to pierce the blisters and apply some ointment. You’ll have to bear with it.”
“It’s okay, I mean it. You should go back to dinner. You must’ve been exhausted after an entire day of classes.”
“Stop moving!” One phrase. That was all it took for Ivor to stop in his tracks.
Ged had just come in when he saw this moment. ‘What a bad timing.‘
“I came here for a free meal. Why do I have to suffer this lovey–dovey moment?”
Then, he walked over to their side and saw the blisters on Ivor’s hands.
“What’s going on with your hands, Ivor?”
Vince responded, “Ivor was burnt when he tried to cook.”
That stunned Ged. “D–Did the boy just say you’re trying to cook, Ivor?” Then, he looked at the sky and said, “I wonder if the sun’s going to come out from the west tomorrow.‘
Averting his gaze from the sky, he watched Bonnie apply the ointment for Ivor. He pursed his lips. It didn’t take a genius to figure out why Ivor was cooking.
“Let’s see. How does your cooking taste?”
He randomly picked a dish and popped it into his mouth.
“Mmm! It tastes great! I didn’t think you’d be able to cook this well!”
Ivor looked at her with humor in his eyes. “That’s because I have a wonderful fiancé.”
Suddenly, Ged didn’t think his dishes were as delicious as they were a second ago. “Tsk tsk tsk! It’s salty. It tastes very salty! Did you pour a whole bottle of salt into your dishes?”
Vince proceeded to eat several more mouthfuls. Then, he said, bewildered, “It isn’t sour,

though. They’re delicious if you ask me.”

“You’re just a kid. You won’t get it.” Ged looked at the little boy’s delicate face. At the next moment, he said puzzlingly.
“Huh? Don’t you find the little boy’s mug a little familiar? Why do I get the feeling I’ve seen
him before?”
Ivor and Bonnie glance at Vince. Truthfully, they feel the same way.
Later, she packed up her medkit and told Ivor, “Tomorrow’s Saturday. You should take a good rest at home. You don’t have to drop by,”
‘If he comes here and sees me teaching Thaddeus how to cook, he’s just going to be jealous.‘
“Tomorrow is an off day, yet you asked me to stay away. Are you planning on bringing someone here?”
What he said made her feel a little on edge.
‘Geez. He knows me well.‘
“You’re reading too much into it. Weren’t you very busy for the past week? Also, your hands are burnt. You need to take it easy.”
Ivor was eyeing her sharply. Then, an idea came to her, and she said, “To be honest, I’m exhausted too. I’m going to sleep in and let myself relax tomorrow. Once I’m well–rested, I’ll go to your place and make you dinner.”
He relaxed a little and said, “Okay. I’ll be waiting.”
On their way back, Ged realized that his friend was always sporting a sour face.
“Why are you still this annoyed? She didn’t want you to go to her place tomorrow because she didn’t want you to tire yourself out. Moreover, she said she’s going to make you dinner.” “When has she pampered me like that?” Ivor squinted and said coldly.
