Fortunately, at that moment, Haley pushed open the kitchen door, breaking the atmosphere.
Haley glanced at Emily, who was leaning against the cabinet, and Leon, who was standing at the sink washing vegetables. She asked curiously, “What are you two doing?”
“Talking about what to have for lunch,” Emily replied, deliberately skipping over their earlier conversation.
“Is Leon cooking today?” Haley looked at Leon as she asked.
“I’m not sure. It depends on Gus,” Leon said casually. He didn’t mind taking the role of chef, but with Gus around, Leon figured Gus wouldn’t want to trouble him and would just take over all the kitchen work himself.
It wasn’t that Gus had any possessiveness over the kitchen—it was simply that Leon knew Gus was the kind of person who would rather tire himself out than inconvenience others.
“Emily, come back with me. I can’t handle Jodi on my own,” Haley said, sticking out her tongue and asking for help. “Ever since you and Leon left, I’ve been Jodi’s main focus. I’m about to break down.”
“Then let’s head to the living room first,” Emily said helplessly. The two women left the kitchen together. Leon glanced at the ingredients Emily had prepared in advance, mentally calculating what could be made with them, then followed them out.
Even though he probably wouldn’t have to do much cooking, he still wanted to be prepared. In fact, Leon was quite eager to take this chance to learn a few cooking tricks from Gus.
