Chapter 170: Tame Her
Lanny jolted awake, her heart racing from the loud crash that echoed through the house. She sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes to wash away her sleepiness.
’What is that? The sound has come from the kitchen.’ She listened intently.
Throwing off the covers, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. She lazily dragged herself as she made her way to the kitchen.
As she approached the kitchen, she saw a tall figure pacing back and forth. She paused at the threshold, peering in. The sight that greeted her was chaotic. Pots and pans were scattered across the floor, and the water droplets scattered on the floor.
In the midst of the mess stood her guest, Dmitri, looking more guilty than frightened.
"Good morning, Honey. I’m sorry for waking you up. I’m trying to wash the dishes but the soap made them slippery so they slipped down from my hands," he explained.
"Mr. De Luca, it’s obvious that you are not used to doing household chores. You are such a prince in your house," Lanny sighed as she stepped into the kitchen.
She bent down to start picking up the mess, gently nudging Dmitri aside with her shoulder "What am I going to do with you? Stop messing with my kitchen. This is my favorite place. Just stay put in the living room."
Dmitri just smiled innocently, scratching his face. "I just want to help you. You cook meals for me so this is the least I can do for you. Washing the dishes."
Lanny sized him up from head to toe. She tried to hold her laughter because of Dmitri’s cute appearance. He was wearing a pink apron and washing gloves.
