Chapter 236 - 236: What A Lovely Person

She had met his mother and thought she was concerned about her son. But Albert had lived here since he bought the house and hardly went home.

Albert said, "Because my mother always urged me to get married. I was scared. I hope I don't have to worry about it next year."

Sophia thought of something, looked back at him and saw that he was looking at her. Albert hastily turned his head to one side and didn't dare to look at her.

Albert was like a shy girl, Sophia thought. If he indeed loved her, why didn't he tell her since they had known each other for so long?

She couldn't tell anything and doubted it. 

"Well… I need to clean up my kitchen. I haven't been home for days. The kitchen needs cleaning."

What a lovely person! Sophia thought. 

Towards noon, Sophia went to Albert's house to help. She couldn't cook, but she could do some help.

Albert was good at cooking. He handed the vegetables to Sophia for washing, and he was about to make porridge.

Sophia handed him the vegetables. He picked up the pot and put it on the induction cooker.

"Why do you use the induction cooker?" Sophia didn't understand. There was gas in his house. The food cooked with natural gas would be more delicious. And it was more convenient. Generally speaking, people didn't use the induction cooker for cooking when there was natural gas at home.

Albert said, "Well, cooking with gas is hotter. It's quite warm here. I'm afraid of the heat. Besides, the induction cooker is intelligent. It's more convenient to adjust the heat. When I cook with natural gas, I'm not good at handling the heat."

"Yeah," Sophia said. Since Albert cooked with the induction cooker, she could stay there and watch him cook. If he used the gas, she would have to leave the kitchen to avoid seeing the fire.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Sophia put down the vegetables, wiped her hands, and went to the door. Through the cat's eye, she saw Albert's mother.

Sophia was not surprised by her arrival. It was just that she happened to be here. So she felt a little embarrassed.

She opened the door and said, "Hi!"

Albert's mother was excited to see Sophia. "Oh, Sophia. Come in. Come on. I'm so happy to see you."

Albert stopped and walked out of the kitchen. "Mum!" He shouted when he saw his mother. Then he went back to work.

Sophia wanted to help, but the mother grabbed her and sat on the sofa with her. "Don't go. He can do it himself. You know girls' hands need careful nurturing. Your hands are tender and you have to protect them well. Things like cooking should be done by rough men. In our family, it's always men who do the cooking. Albert's father is really good at cooking."

Rough man? Albert?

Sophia never associated the two words with Albert. He was a cute man.

But the family rule was indeed good, she thought.

Now that the mother said that, she just smiled and gave up going to the kitchen.

The mother was interested in Sophia and kept asking her questions like the family member in her family, her constellation, or something. She asked more carefully than the census taker.

It wasn't long before Albert prepared the meal and served it. He turned to the two women and said, "Meal is ready. Mom, you haven't eaten, have you? Come on."

The mother smiled and said, "It's the first time you cook for me. I have told you, only a man who is good at cooking can please a girl. You don't have a girlfriend for so many years because you can't cook. You should learn to cook early."

Sophia took a sneak peek at Albert. She felt that if she liked Albert, it must not be for his cooking but his good-looking.

She had a slight contempt for her superficial.

However, Sophia suddenly realized that Albert was almost a perfect man. He was good-looking, well-cooked, gentle, and was good to her. As for his defects… maybe he was too rich and a little silly. He was probably the so-called stupid rich guy.

But she was in a very difficult position. According to the age of the body, it would be too early to consider marriage. But according to the psychological age, she was already an older female youth.

It was hard to find a balance between these two ages.

Albert's mother kept talking with Sophia and flattering her while eating. The fancy compliments made Sophia feel that she was the perfect girl in the universe.

"I watched the show and saw you. You are so smart. I'm your big fan."

"Your mother must be a beauty since you're so beautiful, Sophia."

***

After dinner, Sophia rose to help clean up the dishes. There was a dishwasher in the kitchen, so she didn't have to do the dishes.

She had seen the dishwasher at Jasmine's house before and found it convenient. With this machine, there would be no need to do the dishes by hand. So, she considered buying one for her family.

After tidying up, Sophia talked with Albert's mother for a while and then left.

She searched the dishwasher on the Internet. The price was about five to eight hundred dollars, quite high. The delivery stopped during Christmas. So she wondered if it would be on sale some days later. She had nothing to do at home alone and just checked the microblog.

She saw that the Super Quiz had posted a new message.

"There will be two rounds in the final. The first round will be a dual meet. The fourteen players will be divided into two groups, seven people a group. The winning group will enter the second round and the losing one will be eliminated. Thanks for the support of the Aphrodite, the finalists can receive an extra gift package, including a stir-fryer, induction cooker, dishwasher, and rice cooker."

Sophia was confused. Aphrodite sold clothes, did it? But judging by the gifts it offered, people would take it as a kitchen appliance company.

But those were what she needed, especially the dishwasher. She was about to buy one. Induction cookers and rice cookers were useful for people like her who were afraid of fires. The stir-fry was a lifesaver for those who couldn't cook.

These things seemed to be made for her.

She suddenly remembered that Aphrodite was a company of the Pearson Group. Did Albert do this for her?

She shook her head.. How could that be possible? How did Albert know she wanted a dishwasher? She just looked at the dishwasher twice in the kitchen.
