"Your words are so profound, I think..." She stared at him blankly.
He smirked at her confusion, then squeezed her cheeks, "You don't need to understand. Let's go eat breakfast! You are hungry!"
"Okay," She took his arm and said happily, "My boyfriend made me breakfast, all by himself!"
"Try it first and see if it even tastes good," Even if it was horrible, Joseph wanted Kate's honest opinion.
Kate deliberately ate it elegantly to show off that she was carefully tasting it.
Joseph couldn't help but smile, and said, "Just eat as usual! Don't pretend to be elegant, just be yourself!"
"Okay," Kate knew that she was not the most sophisticated person when it came to eating. She rolled her sleeves up, brushed her hair back out of her face and shoved a large bite of omelet into her mouth. She smiled the told Joseph, "It is very delicious; one of the best omelets I have ever eaten!"
"Your performance is a bit exaggerated!" Joseph was satisfied with her evaluation.
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Kate said sincerely, "I really think it's really delicious, and the least bit not greasy!"
"Then eat more," He sat across from her and watched her eat.
Kate had a bite of omelet on her fork, she put it to Joseph's mouth. He said, "It is good. I also made soup, but it will be a while longer so you can finish this first!"
"Still making soup?" Kate didn't expect that Joseph could cook so well.
"Don't be so surprised! During the two years I was overseas, I lived alone. I had to cook or I would have starved!"
"Yes, I forgot about that," Kate said, "So, this means you can cook all of the meals from now on?"
"No problem!" Joseph enthusiastically promised.
She frowned and asked, "Do you think since I have no married you yet, you need to lie to me to make me happy?"
"Am I lying to you? When have I lied to you?" He said seriously, then bluntly stated, "Cooking for the love of my life brings me happiness. It is something meaningful!"
Kate loved hearing his sweet words, she blushed every time.
"Even if a handsome man like you was lying to me, I would still be happy!" She replied foolishly.
Joseph glanced at her, "Do you just love my face?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
He looked at her and looked forward to her answer, "Of course, the truth."
"I like everything about you!" Kate smiled, then jumped up to rush out of the room.
Normally he would go after Kate, but he just sat at the table smiling from ear to ear.
After Joseph finished cleaning the kitchen, he walked out to see Kate sitting on the sofa. He sat and put his arm around her, "Why did you run out of the dining room?"
Kate had time to calm down and recover, but as soon as Joseph spoke, her face turned red again. She smiled, "I guess I just ate too much!"
He squeezed her tighter, Kate nestled into his arms and closed her eyes, "I just ate so much, and now I am sleepy."
"Take a nap, then wake up and have some soup?" Joseph suggested.
Kate grinned, "You make it sound as if I am a pig!"
"You are my little piggy," Joseph teased.
"You are so different now, but I do miss the cold Joseph from before," Kate complained and turned her head away.
"What do you mean?" Joseph touched her face and turned it so he could look at her, "You don't like me being nice to you? This is me! I love you, so I want to give you everything!"
"It is just strange, you were so mean and hateful before," Kate frowned then squeezed his nose, "You say I am your little piggy, but I think you are my little piggy!"
Joseph lowered and giggled when she touched his nose.
"Joseph, Kate..." Cassie stammered as she walked into the room. She wanted to surprise them but she was shocked to see them sitting on the sofa flirting. She had never seen them so intimate.
Cassie turned around hurriedly and apologized, "I didn't see anything."
After hearing Cassie's voice, it was as if Kate was electrocuted, she jumped up from Joseph's arms.
"It doesn't matter what you see, but you scared Kate." Joseph calmly said, worried about Kate.
Cassie felt bad, "I am sorry Kate. I just wanted to surprise you, I never thought I would frighten you."
"You didn't, I just think we were sitting so close. We should not be so intimate," Kate was in a panic trying to explain.
"No, no, you should be like this! You are lovers," Cassie nodded strongly, and then commented, "I wish you could be so intimate all the time! And live happily ever after!"
Hearing this, Joseph teased, "You came here out of the blue to say that to us?"
Cassie squinted at him, "Of course not."
Kate said, "Mom, please sit down. I will go to the kitchen to get some coffee and snacks for us."
"Alright," Cassie smiled, it felt wonderful to have Kate feel so comfortable in Joseph's home.
"Let me do it. You chat with mom for a while," Joseph ordered with a grin.
"It's okay! It will only take a few minutes. You can talk to your mom," Kate replied and walked out.
"Okay, then be careful. Don't cut your fingers off!" He yelled after her.
"Don't worry!" Kate shouted back.
Seeing her son and Kate so in love, Cassie was over the moon. She had a huge smile on her face, "That's right! Be a good man who loves his wife!"
"Are you thinking about moving here?" Joseph asked.
Cassie waved her hand, "No, I don't want to bother you. Besides, I also need my own space. If I miss you, I'll just come over to visit."
"But you have been living at my aunt's house. Are you that comfortable there?" Joseph bluntly asked.
The smile on Cassie's face turned to a frown and she said, "It isn't forever."
