Chapter 210: Baby Fever.
Arissa accepted Nicklaus’s order.
Getting into the kitchen with him, they sat on the kitchen counter with the already arranged meal before them.
Picking up a habit from her, Nicklaus led the prayer before their meal. Arissa was stunned for a moment. She wasn’t able to breathe or blink until it was time to say "Amen,"
She never expected him to pray. She once doubt he knew God but not anymore. Not after he had prayed this way with faith a thousand times higher than hers.
"Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare this," he appreciated.
Arissa simply nodded. "It wasn’t so difficult. Whereas, it was Jocelyn’s favorite and I do make it a couple of times for her until she changed her taste," she said to him with no knowledge of how cheerful she sounded.
Nicklaus smiled, "The scent alone is great," he scooped a spoon into his mouth and the corners of his lips lifted into a smile.
"I love this," he confessed and took another scoop into his mouth.
He looked charming eating with his defense down.
Arissa was so dazzled by his charms that she couldn’t help but stare at him to her heart’s content. As usual, each time she looks at him, her heartbeat fastens. Sometimes, it leaves her confused while most times it leaves her scared.
As he said earlier, he does love this dish. His whole concentration was on the meal before him. Using that chance, she just kept on starting.
