Chapter 116: Teasing
"You’re finally here!" Tarah exclaimed, rushing towards Ezekiel and taking his hand in hers. "Why do I get the feeling you’re becoming extra clingy?" he teased, pulling her closer with a chuckle.
’It’s because I want to cherish every moment with you,’ Tarah thought to herself, but instead, she simply smiled and replied, "You mentioned through our bond that you’d have lunch with me, so I decided to personally cook for you."
With excitement, she led him to the private dining area where she had already prepared everything. Tarah was skilled in the kitchen, having been trained by her mother to possess all the qualities of a good wife from a young age. By the time she was sixteen, she had mastered it all.
Tarah beamed as she served the dishes onto Ezekiel’s plate, happy to be able to provide for him in such a simple way.
"So, what did you cook for me?" Ezekiel teased, eyeing the five dishes spread out on the table. "Isn’t this a bit much for just the two of us? It looks like a feast..." he remarked, looking at the lamb, beef, chicken, fish, and vegetables that Tarah had prepared.
"Here, taste this," Tarah said, offering a forkful of lamb chop to Ezekiel. "It’s delicious," he exclaimed after trying it. "How about you feed me everything?" he suggested eagerly.
"Well, that’s the plan. Let me spoil my prince before his coronation," Tarah replied with a grin.
"Why do I get the feeling you have a request after this?" Ezekiel asked suspiciously, but Tarah just responded by feeding him more food, ignoring his question.
"Aren’t you dedicated to fattening me up this afternoon?" Ezekiel teased after munching on some beef.
