It's Not That I Can't Cook

Chris put his cup on the table and hurriedly headed for the kitchen. As he looked around, he saw a fire burning inside the pan. The fire was not very big, but enough to scare off someone who never cooked like Merry.

The man sighed as he approached the stove. He then turned off the stove before covering the pan with a lid. In a moment, the flames died down. Chris looked at Merry with an annoyed expression.

"You really can't cook?" Chris asked in disbelief.

He thought she was just saying that her cooking was not good, but Merry was actually telling the truth.

Merry lowered her head, rubbing the back of her right hand. Her hands splashed with the hot oil earlier as she tried to pour water into the pan. She replied softly, "No…"

"Then what have you been eating for the past half year?" Chris crossed his arms asking questions.
