Learn To Cook

Since returning home from Ainsley's house, Scarlett has been in the kitchen. Without any help from her servants and anyone there. In fact, it had been a few minutes that she was pensive, staring at the pot and cauldron perched on the stove.

"I should be able to, right? It just takes patience and shrewdness." 

Scarlett began to pick up the carrots she had already prepared. Today she wants to cook a creamy carrot soup for a start. She began to wash the carrots cleanly. Cut it into small pieces. However, there was a mistake in making the soup. Scarlett didn't understand how the dose would be used to make a soup. She's already seen how it's made in a video vlog of someone else cooking.

Still, it was so difficult for Scarlett.

"Glory, just turn on the stove. I can't."

Scarlett felt frustrated, she didn't know what to do. The materials she had provided were actually abandoned. Scarlett couldn't help but stare pity at the groceries. Supposedly, Scarlett is not so stupid, because turning on the stove is a simple thing. However, this electric stove is indeed very difficult to use, according to Scarlett. And she just realized that she never set foot in the kitchen, even when at her parents' house.

"Argh...." Scarlett shouted. she walked back and forth as she bit the nails of her fingers.

"What's the matter?" 

Dominic came over and asked. Feeling astonished by the behavior, Scarlett showed. 

"Tsk... what a mess."

Dominic walked over to the kitchen and began to tidy it up well. While Scarlett was just silently staring at every move Dominic created. And suddenly Dominic's hand wanted to throw away the piece of carrot that Scarlett had cut earlier.

"Don't throw it away!" prevented Scarlett. She also took the carrots from Dominic's hand and put them to their original place.

"Why?" wondered Dominic.

Scarlett looked hesitant to say that. Feeling ashamed that as a whole woman she couldn't cook. 

Dominic glanced at the ingredients that were on the table. He also began to realize that Scarlett wanted to cook.

"You want to cook?" asked Dominic.

"Yes."

"Sit there. I already know what you want to make."

"Ah no, let me come to your aid. At the same time, learn to cook from you."

Dominic nodded, his hands shrewdly cutting the carrots that were still left with one piece. He boiled the carrots and brought them to a boil of water.

"You watch how I made this."

Scarlett nodded, watching Dominic wash and chop the meat clean. The carrot he had boiled just now, then in the blender until smooth and Dominic switched to sautéing the chicken just now, adding water. And so on until the soup is ready to be served.

In Dominic's mind, he recalled the days when he had worked hard to learn to cook for Zoe.

*Flashback on*

"Baby, I want to eat fried rice," Zoe whined spoiledly.

Zoe is often spoiled by Dominic. The woman was also happy to be affectionately fond of Dominic's hands. That's why Dominic loves Zoe so much. A model who chooses a posture as well as possible, with pure white skin and shiny. It really made Dominic feel happy when he was with her.

"Ready, Sweetheart. For your sake, I will make it."

"Ah... it's nice to have such a caring fiancée. I love you, honey."

Dominic went straight to the kitchen. He only needed a few ingredients to make fried rice. Although he can't actually cook, he can clearly understand the cooking tutorials presented on various websites.

"Gosh...." Dominic complained, as a splash of hot oil hit his hand. 

It turns out that cooking is not a simple thing. This is already the third time it has exposed Dominic to hot oil splashes. His hand was also blistered because of the splash.

"Baby, is it done???" Zoe shouted from the living room of the apartment. 

She actually relaxed while playing with her mobile phone, laughing when she saw the funny video presented there. Dominic really hasn't realized that yet. All he thinks about is Zoe's cheerful face, that is happy when eating cooking from him.

"It's done...." Dominic brought a plate of fried rice complete with eggs, tomatoes and lettuce leaves.

"Wow... it looks really good," Zoe said enthusiastically. She started eating one mouthful of fried rice.

"Aaaaa... not tasty, sweetheart. I don't want to eat it," Zoe complained as she spit out the fried rice that had entered her mouth.

"I'm so hungry. Can you order me some food? This fried rice i just eat, huh," Zoe bargained.

While Dominic was feeling bad, he hugged the woman as an apology. Then, order a meal for her to eat.

"Next time, I will cook a good meal for you, sweetheart."

"Thank you, fight hard!"

Dominic hugged Zoe's body. He felt the warmth on the woman's body. A feeling he never got in any woman. Luckily, Dominic has a woman like Zoe.

"I love you, Zoe."

Dominic stretched out his arms, then briefly pecked the woman's lips softly.

*Flashback Off*

"Damn!!" yelled Dominic as he slammed the large spoon used to stir the soup.

Of course, it made Scarlett so surprised. Because the man had been cooking in silence since just now. He was even shrewd at putting ingredients well. However, at this moment, he suddenly acted like that to the point of slamming the spoon that was in his grasp.

"If you don't like cooking, just stop!" quipped Scarlett, annoyed by the actions Dominic did.

"Sorry."

One word that came out of Dominic's mouth, in fact, was able to make Scarlett's irritability even more. She also left Dominic and walked towards the dining table.

"If you're forced to know what he's cooking for!" grumbled Scarlett irritably.

A few minutes later, Dominic came over with two bowls of creamy soup just now.

"Have you finished nagging it?"

"Whatever."

Dominic just kept silent, then served the soup in front of Scarlett. "Enjoy it, I believe you will be hooked."

Scarlett was still indifferent, while Dominic was busy scooping the soup into her mouth. Scarlett, who was tempted by the delicious fragrance exuding from the food, began to be tempted and tasted it. 

"You're so good at cooking, Dominic. This soup is really very good. I loved it," Scarlett said, her annoyance gone instantly, enjoying Dominic's homemade soup.

Scarlett is carefree. Dominic smiled slightly. For the first time, others praised his cooking.
