Chapter 228 - 228: She Won’t Come Back

Sophia knew Jasmine was a romantic person. She changed boyfriends at a ridiculous rate. She had always said that she just enjoyed being in love and didn't value marriage much.

Sophia had seen her with her boyfriend a few times before. But each time, she was with a different guy. Sophia had seen a few of them on the Internet. They seemed to be from the entertainment industry. So, this one was probably new.

Albert went to the place where Jasmine had just cut up the potatoes and picked up the mess she had left behind. He was good at cutting and soon cut the potatoes well.

The onions were already cut, and he mixed them with the potatoes. Then he added some spices. Well, the stuffing was prepared.

Sophia said, "My mum loves to make a turkey like this. It's delicious."

As Albert stuffing, he said with a smile, "Mrs. Green taught me this. She taught most of my cooking. She was indeed a qualified teacher."

Sophia agreed with him, "Yeah, that's right."

She not only gave lessons to her students but also taught cooking. No one was more responsible than Kate.

Albert kept moving, and Sophia stared at his hands. What beautiful hands! Not only did he have a good face, but he also had beautiful hands, she thought.

Albert looked up and saw Sophia staring at his hand. He couldn't help smiling. "Do you want to learn?" he asked.

Sophia hurriedly withdrew her eyes and blushed, "I'll… make cookies."

She had helped Kate make cookies and knew how to do it. The batter was ready. She chose a pastry tip for the pastry bag, put some batter into the pastry bag, and then squeezed the batter into a form on the baking sheet. Actually, it was indeed not a cute cookie.

She looked back and saw Albert looking at the cookie, and she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it good?"

Albert shook his head with a smile, "No. It's very good." 

Sophia withdrew her eyes and kept doing it. Then, there were more ugly cookies. She felt embarrassed.

Suddenly, Albert came up to her and said, "Don't move!"

Sophia looked back in astonishment and wondered what he was going to do. He approached her slowly, his face almost touched hers, and she could even feel his breath.

She felt her heart beating very fast, as if it were about to jump out of her body at any time.

Albert raised his hand. His cool fingertips gently caressed at the tip of her nose. Suddenly, he smiled, "There is some flour on your nose tip."

Sophia felt that she couldn't even breathe and hurriedly turned back, "Excuse me."

She turned and strode out of the kitchen, went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, reached for a handful of cold water, and sprinkled it on her face.

When the cold water touched her skin, her mind became clear.

She had known Albert for a long time. Why did she suddenly find him attractive? Was she attracted by his good-looking?

She shook her head at once. No, she had to calm down. If Albert knew what she was thinking, he would be upset.

He was so nice to her. How could she covet him?

She thought it was evil to have such a thought.

When she got back to the kitchen, Albert had made lots of cookies.

Albert turned back and saw Sophia. "You don't have to do it. These are enough for us. Bake them for a while, and we can eat them."

"Oh, yeah."

She turned stiffly and walked slowly to the restaurant.

Oh, god! Why did she think he was so cute? He had been looking like this. What was she thinking about?

Not long after, the cookies were ready. Albert served them on a plate. "Have a try."

Not daring to look up at him, Sophia asked, "Well... Won't Jasmine come back for lunch? Shall I call her?"

"All right."

He didn't know when Jasmine went out. She invited him here, but she went out. He guessed that she meant to create a private space for him and Sophia.

He thought Jasmine was the best sister. It was worthy of their good relationship.

Sophia called Jasmine. Jasmine answered the phone, "Well, I'm sorry, Sophia. I got a call from Tony. He said he had a car accident. I went to him in a hurry and forgot to tell you."

Tony? It sounded like a hairdresser's name.

"How is he? Is he all right? Can I help?" Sophia asked.

Jasmine smiled, "Don't worry. He got hit by a bike-riding boy. He didn't even scratch the skin. And he knocked down the kid's bike. He must have missed me and found an excuse to see me. You can eat with Albert. Don't wait for me. I'll make Tony cook for me."

Sophia hung up and said, "She won't come back."

"Oh, I see."

Of course, she would not come back. She was a good sister. She knew what she should do.

He smiled, "Then we don't need to wait for her. Come on, it's not good when it's cold."

Sophia shunned, looking at him and picked up a cookie to eat. She was eating the cookie but couldn't taste it. What she was thinking was that the cookies were made one by one by his beautiful hands.

The thought made her want to strangle herself. Since when was she so lustful? No! She shouldn't think about these things.

Was it because she's been single for so long? Speaking of which, her mental age was twenty-nine, and women were sexually active at this age.

After lunch, Albert picked up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. Jasmine's home was modern. There were all kinds of electrical appliances and they were very convenient.

Sophia thought she should go home and get away from Albert, so she would not think about it. But Kate and Andy were at home. As a sensible and filial daughter, she didn't want to disturb them. 

To stop her from thinking, she went to the living room to watch TV. As soon as she turned on the TV, she saw the hero and heroine kissing, very hot. It was the latest idol drama.

Why did she feel that the hero was not as good as Albert?

Oh, again!
