Chapter 531 - Supper (1)

Surely, Janessa turned him down, "No way! Don't even think about it!"

"Well, you're free to leave." Armando lay down and said, "There are rats in this room, and cockroaches may crawl into your mouth while you're asleep. Moreover, at night, it will be very cold here. When I first arrived here, I couldn't sleep well for three successive nights."

Hearing this, Janessa hesitated. She asked with her suitcase in her hand, "Is there any..."

"Don't be naive." Armando knew what she was going to say, "Did you see any hotel along your way here? This is the best you can find."

"Anyway, I don't believe what you said." Janessa carried her luggage and left. Before she went out of his sight, she scorned Armando's words, "Even if there are rats and cockroaches, so what? I won't be afraid of those things."

She was so fearless that Armando could not control make her do as he expected. He could only lie on the bed and thought about what he saw under that curtain before dinner.

And then he recalled that she didn't eat much for dinner. After thinking for a while, he got up and went out of the room.

The kitchen was very primitive. Everything inside was made of mud and dirt. A large cauldron sat in the middle, beneath which there was a rectangular gap for putting in grass and wood. Because of the rain, the grass and wood piled up aside were a little damp. Once he set fire with these damp grass and wood, there would be a lot of smoke.

Armando went to ask the master of the house for some food. He took three eggs and put them in the pot. He scooped some water into the pot and began to boil it. The local thought he might consume a lot of energy and would be hungry at night, and so they came twice and brought him a potato and a sweet potato.

Armando thanked him and stuffed everything into the fire pit.

Sissy lived next to him. The soundproofing here was bad and she could hear the sound from next door clearly, including the conversation between Janessa and Armando and the footsteps of Janessa leaving with her luggage.

She also heard Armando leave the room and hadn't returned. She thought that he had gone to find Janessa, so she went out to breathe some fresh air. However, she did not hear anything at Janessa's door. Instead, she smelled a little fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, she saw Armando sitting on a stool, cooking. His face was illuminated by the fire. Sissy hurried back to her room, picked up her camera, and ran back to take some pictures of the scene. Armando heard the noise but did not turn to check. He was busy calculating the time to see if the eggs were ready.

Behind him, Sissy checked the photos and picked out a most satisfying one. Only then did she put down her camera and asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Armando shook his head.

Sissy understood, "You're cooking for Janessa?"

"Yes." he said, "She didn't eat much for dinner."

"She might be on a diet. Do you think about the possibility that she would refuse your offer?" Sissy asked as she came up with the proper annotation for her photo.

"She will eat," said Armando confidently.

He found a big bowl, scooped out the eggs, and put them in the bowl after showering them with cold water. Then he picked up the potato and sweet potato in the fire pit with pliers. The fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes immediately filled the kitchen.

Sissy sniffed the nice smell.

"Do you want some?" Armando asked.

"May I?" Sissy smiled.

He split the sweet potato into two and handed one to her.

Sissy looked at the half piece of sweet potato he handed over and said in a low voice, "You would mislead me."

"What?" Armando did not understand her words.

"If you're not interested in me, don't treat me so well. Otherwise," Sissy smiled brightly, "I will fall in love with you."

"Then I'd better have it back." Armando was going to get the sweet potato back.

Sissy quickly stepped back. She couldn't help but laugh, "It's not proper for a gentleman to take back what he gave away."

"What are you doing?" When Janessa heard the noise and opened the door, she saw Sissy, smiling at Armando with half a sweet potato.

Janessa was still wearing Armando's T-shirt. Her beautifully shaped and white legs stretched out from the loose and oversized T-shirt. She was as pretty as a fairy. When she kept silent, she seemed cool and unique. Her beauty and character could easily attract both men and women.

Competitiveness was in everyone's nature. People would compete with each other on appearance, wealth, partner, and so on.

Sissy also secretly competed herself with Janessa. She got to admit that Janessa was so beautiful that wherever she was, she was bound to be the most eye-catching one. Sissy was almost jealous of her.

Then, Sissy waved the sweet potato in her hand, "Would you like some? He roasted one sweet potato.. It's quite delicious."
