Chapter 109 - Cooking

Ch-108 

The tiger gave him a cold look before looking at the cave. It huffed after looking at the cave. 

"You are here from last night?" he asked with a frown. 

The tiger just wiggled its tail and walked near him. 

"She would be your master too. Let's protect her. Okay?" he said. 

The tiger gave a lazy look and settled near his legs. Letting out a lazy yawn, she sat down and slumped beside him. It rubbed itself onto his legs. Feeling the comfort she was getting from her master felt good. 

[Aww… so soft.] tiger thought.

It dipped its body in the grass as it felt like it was in heaven. 

"How did you know I came?" he asked. 

The tiger lazily lifted its head and looked at him. It's as if he was stupid. 

Indeed… he has to say the tiger was smart or has to say it has acute senses. Whenever he comes here it would come here to meet him. When he leaves it does and plays all kinds of tricks to make him stay for some more time. 

"Goldie… Rest in the cave. I will get your mistress after she freshens up," he says and leaves the place. 

The Tiger nodes it's head. 

Getting up from its place, he starts walking into the cave. But it felt stupid… sigh… it was full of those stupid roses and a weird smell. And there were wisps and some burnt candles. Goldie felt disgusted and walked out. It walked to its favorite spot and sat there. Her favorite spot was a big tree beside the cave… it gives enough coldness and warmth. It liked to sit there and liked to rest there. 

Cedric, who watched this, felt offended. 

Was Goldie saying that the cave was dirty!? 

What the hell!? 

Wait! It consists of their love-making smell. It's good that the goldie walked out. If not, the poor little guy would have died with guilt. Sigh… he did the right thing by walking out. He will clean the cave personally. Walking out… he returned to the master bedroom. There he saw his beautiful butterfly. She acts like a butterfly on fire when she wakes up but in sleep, she was an innocent butterfly. 

Not only that… she was just a hedgehog, who was pretending to be strong. And she was pretty weak. She was someone who needed protection. But entering into her world by breaking her walls was a hard task. 

He went into the bathroom and washed their clothes and hung them. After that, he prepared her bath. When he felt the tub had the right amount of water temperature… he turned off the faucet. He filled the tub with essential oils and lavender. He heard that Lavender helps in getting rid of sore muscles and aches. So… he added that. 

After that, he woke up Eleanor. 

"I will help you," he said after letting her stand on her feet inside the bathroom. 

"I need to use the bathroom. I will take my bath. No need for your help," Eleanor said and shut the door on his face. 

Cedric: "..." 

He wanted to help her. He doesn't have any ill intentions. Sobs.. ~~~~ (TT__TT) 

Cedric cried without tears. 

Walking to the other room he freshened. While he was bathing he realized Eleanor had no clothes with her. So, he quickly finished his bath and walked to his grandmother's closet. He found a set of old frocks which reached the 3/4th of her legs. Apart from being a bit tight, this would fit her well. 

Taking it… and her inner clothes were dried. He took out his new boxers along with him and walked towards her room. He noticed she was still bathing. He knew that she liked soaking when she was frustrated or in pain. He sighed and kept the clothes on the bed. 

He knocked on the bathroom door loudly. 

"Ele, I kept the clothes for you on the bed. Finish your bath earlier, I will make the food for you," he said and left when he got her affirmation. 

Eleanor felt like she was the luckiest person in the world because her husband can cook! 

Dammit! 

She got a good husband! 

After bathing, she wrapped herself in the towel and walked out. She saw as he said he brought clothes for her. She noticed there was no bra and even the underwear was boxers. Sighing at the lack of clothes… she wore them anyway. 

After dressing up, she blow-dried her hair and combed it neatly. 

She didn't apply make-up after all her purse didn't have any makeup things apart from powder and red lipstick. She has an orange one too but… it's almost finished. Feeling that the orange one would suit her gown she applied it to her lips. 

There was a headband in the vanity, she combed her hair and kept a hairband on her head. She looked so much younger despite the gown being old models. 

Walking down she found Cedric was still cooking in the kitchen. He looked so sexy and hot in the way he did. She wanted to have a bite of him as he cooked. But she knew if she were to enter the kitchen and leave him with a kiss, he would go after her and ask her to do it again. This shouldn't occur. 

She watched as she sat near the counter. Seeing her, Cedric gave her a plate of fruits to eat till he was done cooking. 

"Shall I help?" she asked. 

"No need," he said. 

"But I want to," she said with a pout. That was enough for his poor soul to melt. 

"Okay, come here," he said. 

Eleanor went to him. He took an apron and tied it around her waist. Eleanor has to say that she was affected by his closeness. How could she not? She could feel her heart thudding in her ribcage. Suddenly she felt that the kitchen was too hot. 

She regretted offering help to him. 

"Just wash the veggies for me," he said as if he was not affected. Reminding herself for overthinking she reprimanded herself. 

But even Cedric was affected by her closeness. He barely held himself sane when she was in his proximity.
