Chapter 571 - A prank? (2/2)

”Our breakfast. The Cook made it,” he showed the containers with a wry smile.

”The green is yours,” she mumbled and turned around to walk to the kitchen.

”Of course,” he replied with a grin. The Cook shared the belief with his grandmother and mother that it was their job to help Ryn to right her bad habit of not eating vegetables.

He watched her pouring the content from the containers into clean bowls and plates. While she made drink for them, he carried the food to the dining table. He even helped her carrying the pot of coffee and the mugs while she carried the utensils for them.

They started to eat their breakfast once everything was arranged accordingly on the table. He even took some of the side dishes into her bowl, making sure all the thicker meat go to her. He, as he promised earlier, put all the greens closer to him to make it easier for him to finish them.

”Tell the Cook thank you. It's delicious,” she told him as they enjoyed their hot coffee after the breakfast.

”I've told her before I left,” he explained. He lifted the mug and sipped the hot drink slowly. His body warmed once the liquid entering his body. When it reached his stomach, he felt better and better.

She looked at the black liquid as her finger kept running around the lip of the mug. She lifted the mug again and sipped it slowly.

He reached out his long arm and rubbed her nape gently. ”You're still exhausted?”

”Jetlag maybe,” her head lolled as she enjoyed his massage. He even rubbed and kneaded her back, making the aches she felt since last night disappeared.

”Go lie on the bed. I'll massage your back,” he ordered. He could not massage her properly while they were sitting on the chair.

”But you need to go to work,” she tried to decline but his warm fingers really made the objection quite weak. She did not want to disturb his work but her aches body demanded her to accept his talented hands. She needed the relieved.

”Come,” he pulled her to her feet and toward the bedroom. Then, he helped her to lie down on her stomach on the bed. He did not straight away massage her back. Instead, he took off his coat and hang it over the sofa head. He also adjusted the temperature of the room to his like.

”Why haven't you started yet? Are you pranking me?” She asked. She rested her chin on top of her folded hands. She felt weird when he still did not start his massage when she was already ready.
