Chapter 90: Don’t go anywhere without me [2]
Grumbling, Knox turned around and continued cooking, letting Azrael cling to him as he moved. Due to this, some of the pancakes weren’t flipped properly and some got burnt when Azrael’s hands started caressing and massaging Knox’s body, claiming that it was to ease his body’s soreness, but only made Knox more conscious of their position and lost focus in cooking.
"The burnt pancakes are yours," Knox remarked. Azrael just chuckled and kissed him.
After their brunch, Knox received a call. Seeing the registered number on the screen, he felt somehow nervous. He stood and excused himself from Azrael who seemingly understood who was the caller and let him walk away without a fuss.
Knox went to the terrace and answered the phone, "Yes, hello...f-father..."
"When are you coming home?" Chairman Nathaniel asked directly.
"O-Oh...uhm, did something happen to Knoa?" Knox asked back. He was asking the obvious because he didn’t know how to answer the chairman. He knew nothing happened, if there was, then Steve or Athan would have called him, and judging from the calm voice of his father, he was certain everything was alright. ’So then, why did he call me so suddenly?’ Knox couldn’t help but think.
"Nothing happened. But...I asked him to go fishing with me, and he said that he wanted to come with you, since you two have never been in the ocean before, as per Knoa’s words," the chairman responded.
Both of them sounded awkward over the phone since that call was the very first one between them. A warm smile tugged on Knox’s lips as he imagined Knoa’s animated response to the chairman’s suggestion.
"Are you really going to fish in the ocean?" He mumbled half-jokingly.
