303 Chapter 303: He Doesn’t Care About You (1/2)
Once Kylie had taken her first bite of the soup that Stephen had prepared for her, she attacked the bowl with vigor and, before Stephen knew it, it was empty. ”It's really good!” she exclaimed as she ladled out a second portion for herself. ”Did you add any unique spices into it? I have never tasted anything so good!”
Stephen, who was sitting opposite her, who hadn't taken a single bite from his bowl, laughed. ”There is a quite unique spice in it,” he exclaimed. ”It is called Botulinum. It is one of the most dangerous poisons known to man. It has a unique property in that when it is added to food, and it improves the flavor.”
”If there's such a delicious poison,” Kylie laughed, ”I'd like to eat some more of it.”
Kylie quickly finished her second bowl of soup, and then she burped loudly, thanked Stephen for the meal, and went into the living room to stretch out on the couch. After eating so much, she felt tired, so she closed her eyes and allowed herself a quick cat nap while Stephen cleaned up the dinner dishes.
After about forty-five minutes, Kylie was rudely woken up by Stephen, who was shaking her. ”Do you know how to play any games?” he was asking her. He had two cell phones in his left hand, and he was shaking them in her face. ”If so, it would mean a lot to me if you would teach me!”
”Kylie sighed as she sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. ”Alright,” she said, ”I will teach you.” She took one of the cell phones out of his hands. ”As long as I am teaching you, though, you must treat me as you would a universally respected master. Do you understand?”
Stephen nodded and, with a sweet smile, he said, ”Yes, master.” His eyes were full of love for her, to the extent that Kylie could easily imagine a lesser woman losing themselves in them.
Before opening up the Play Store Application, Kylie logged into her email account. There were many messages, and many of them were from William, which made her frown.
Stephen looked at her curiously and asked her if there was anything wrong.
”It had just occurred to me that the anniversary of my father in law's death is coming up,” she replied. ”I would like to go home in time to mourn his passing with my friends and family.”
”Let's see what happens,” Stephen suggested. ”For now, let's not talk about it.” Stephen showed her his phone. He had downloaded a game called Ants vs. Pants. ”I need you to show me how to choose my characters!”
Kylie hurriedly deleted all of her messages, and then she began to teach Stephen how to create an account, how to choose characters, the basic rules of the game. ”The game is still a little bit glitchy,” he warned her. ”It is a knock-off of Plants vs. Zombies. You can see that it only has three stars. If anything weird happens, even if you like the game, you may as well just choose another game. Clash of Clans is very good.”
”If you get a phone call while you're in the middle of a match,” Kylie explained, ”you will be kicked offline, and your game will automatically close down. This kind of glitch can be particularly bad in games that involve teaming up with other people in RL. Your teammates will curse you and warn others that you are an unreliable player.”
