This time, we learned from our previous mistakes, and the turkey had already been prepared. As I prepared other ingredients, I explained to him what to pay attention to in each step. He listened attentively beside me, and I glanced at him, suddenly feeling the urge to tease him.
I picked up an onion from a pile of vegetables and tossed it to him, saying, "Antoninus, you cut it."
Antoninus caught it, examined it carefully, then threw it back, saying calmly, "I don't cook, but I'm not stupid."
"This is a modified one!" I looked into his eyes and said seriously, "The onions nowadays have been improved. You can cut them without any worries."
Antoninus looked at me skeptically. I widened my eyes, trying to make my gaze look clear and innocent. So Antoninus obediently took the onion.
I was secretly pleased and took a step to the side. But he unexpectedly pulled me back and said, "Where are you going? Stay here with me."
"I still need to prepare ot
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed quickly. During these three days, I worked with Antoninus in the mornings and taught him how to cook in the afternoons.Antoninus's treatment had continued without interruption. Although the infection in his wound had improved significantly and he hadn't had a fever anymore, the side effects of the medicated wash were still apparent. Previously, his arm was numb, and now even half of his face often stiffened.I massaged his face and shoulders while worrying silently in my heart. If such a perfect handsome guy turned into someone with a paralyzed face, crooked eyes, and drooling every day, what would we do?Antoninus, on the other hand, wasn't worried at all. He had already finished designing the plans. Once the model makers produced the necessary components, he began assembling the so-called "future firearm."I couldn't understand the fascination with this thing. I was just concerned that the gun was even tall
Although Antoninus was present, he didn't seem to be paying any attention to the parent-teacher meeting. He and Chris were whispering about something quietly, and I didn't want the teachers to think we were being careless, so I took out my phone and pretended to take notes, even though there wasn't much important information being discussed.After all, Chris was only four years old, and the oldest kid in his class was around six. Their curriculum mainly consisted of language subjects, learning about different languages and cultures. The rest was focused on cultivating hobbies like music and art. As for more complex subjects like math and science, progress was slower. This was one reason Chris didn't like math class. He had already learned what was being taught in class at home, so he often didn't pay attention during math lessons. As a result, I had to apologize to Chris's math teacher every time the parent-teacher meeting ended.Yes, Chris's math teacher was none othe
Antoninus paid no attention to me and walked straight ahead. I quickly grabbed his cold mechanical hand, puzzled, and asked, "Where are you going?"He stopped but didn't turn around to look at me. I couldn't help feeling a bit guilty and said, "Are you angry? Come on, I was just kidding..."Antoninus still didn't respond to me. I couldn't help but become a little impatient and said, "Antoninus, what's going on? Why aren't you saying anything?"Before I could finish, Antoninus turned to look at me, then pinched my face and made me look ahead.In the classroom, Chris's principal was chatting with Chris. The principal was probably around sixty years old, with a slightly chubby figure. She always wore a pink suit, with bright red lips, and her hair, makeup, and outfit were all very exquisite.Upon seeing Antoninus and me, she walked over enthusiastically and greeted, "Hey, Lily.""Good morning, Principal.""I heard from Chris that his 'cl
"Lily, long time no see," Anna said, walking over confidently.Haar, upon seeing me, quickly found an excuse to bid farewell. However, Anna was unwilling to let him go so easily. Right before parting, she insisted on giving him an intimate farewell, even planting kisses on his cheeks.I was left gaping in astonishment.Anna, with a triumphant smile, said, "Sorry, Haar heard it was my birthday and insisted on coming to help me pick out a birthday gift."She snorted and continued with a hint of pride, "That's just the kind of person he is. He takes care of the people he loves with meticulous attention.""So what?" I didn't understand why she was telling me all this.Anna glanced at me and raised an eyebrow. "So... what about you?""What about me?""Where's your boyfriend? Your beloved Mr. President? Why did he let you go shopping alone?"I'm not alone...I turned to look at Antoninus, who was standing next to me.
Chris really moved: "Mommy ~""All right..." I nodded and added, "But this meal is on me."I had promised to treat Roman to dinner when I returned home, and this was a good opportunity.Roman raised her eyebrows and nodded happily. "Sure, if you want."We sat down at a nearby restaurant.Roman gently pulls Chris's helmet off.They were sitting opposite me, side by side.I could clearly see the intimate interaction between the two of them.To be honest, Roman doesn't seem like someone who's bad with kids.But Chris was happy with him. They were like father and son.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but raise my lips and smile.If Antoninus had seen this, I think he would have been insanely jealous.That guy is so possessive, he's like a big dog guarding his food!Roman heard me laugh and looked up at me tenderly. "What are you laughing at?""Nothing, nothing." I said, "Eat. Play with him
I didn't think that bearded guy would let Antoninus take the stage.Did he already know Antoninus's true identity?My nervous palms were sweating, but Antoninus didn't look flustered.He mounted the platform calmly.Fortunately, the bearded man did not recognize Antoninus as the president.It was only because Antoninus's clothing was so unique that he called him up on the platform to promote their demonstration.After shaking hands with Antoninus, Beard warmly put his arm around Antoninus's shoulder.He held the microphone in front of Antoninus and asked something out loud.Unfortunately, the mall stereo was a little loud and I couldn't hear what they were saying.I guess he was asking Autoninus if he supported their proposal or something.In short, Antoninus' answer satisfied him very much.Because every time Antoninus answers a question, the crowd in front of him erupts in cheers.The bearded man e
As I watched Antoninus nervously, a policeman pushed his way through the crowd to my side."Hey, Miss Lily, do you still know me?"Of course I know him. He's Sergeant Smith.When I first entered the president's estate, he asked me to stay on the phone the whole time so he could protect me at any time.When Antoninus warned him, he got scared and hung up the phone.This spineless guy.I snorted angrily. "Good afternoon, officer.""Good afternoon." Smith shook his belt and pushed those around me away. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll take care of you and the president."I said, "Maybe you're better at protecting yourself?""Hey hey..." Smith laughed awkwardly and whispered an apology, "I'm really sorry about last time. But I'm just a little agent, so I can't go against the president, can I?""Yes. You're right."I don't care about him.Standing next to me with his head held high and the air of a palace gu
Antoninus raised his eyebrows and refused to answer the question.He went back to reading his leaflet.I opened the window to let the crisp evening air into the car.The blue pendant slid down my chest and clung hot and sticky to my skin.Like the touch of Antoninus' lips.Suddenly my experience this afternoon didn't seem so bad after all.At night, however, I don't think so.My phone hasn't stopped ringing since 9:00.First, my colleagues and sisters called one by one, asking about my relationship with Antoninus.Then my grandmother came and told me to be careful with Antoninus.She also sent me a lot of short videos, the content is nothing more than some young women cheated by the male brother and abandoned the bitter drama.At the end of the day, she made me swear that I was not allowed to have feelings for Antoninus, let alone sex with Antoninus.I nodded obediently and felt guilty.I will
