Chapter 116 - A Cute Angel

Gary did not work out much except for his abs. Lena once squealed that men with abs were the best so Gary worked hard to get them for her. She never saw them though but Lena noticed them when she washed him with the nurse. Lena had been making jokes about Gary but in fact, the babyface man was all grown up!

Kris raised his brows. 'Is this woman mocking me? Who says that abs equal strength? Anyone can get abs but not everyone is as talented as me in combat skill.'

"He will probably only have five abs if he does not wake up soon." Kris slowly stood up. "I am leaving."

"See you at dinner."

He walked to the door and left. He strode down the long hallway with a hand on his stomach. He was feeling his abs if he really only have fice. He does only have 5 abs...

"Are you hungry?" Keso who was following Kris asked.

"No. I am going to go work out."

"I can go with you."

They both headed outside. The mansion has a larger shed outside where most of the workout equipments were located. They were just several commonly used equipment that the workers in the mansion could use during their free time. Kris grabbed a floor mat and lay it on the ground by the weights. Keso stared at Kris, confused at what he was doing.

"What kind of workout are we doing?" Keso questioned.

"Abdominal exercises." Kris did not want to say ab workout so he used a fancier word. He went on the floor and started doing some crunches. He was already wearing very comfortable workout clothes.

"Alright then." Keso grabbed a mat for himself and placed it down not to far away from Kris. Keso was not wearing comfortable clothes so he took off his top and went shirtless.

Kris stopped his crunches and stared at Keso. Keso was casually doing his own thing but Kris saw it clearly. Keso had a 6 pack too! And they were big and strong like Keso was only made of bones and muscle. Keso slowly got down, ready to exercise with Kris.

"You." Kris removed his mat before Keso sat down on it. "You, go away."

"Huh?" Keso got up. "I want to exercise with you. I can give you a good workout routine"

"I am good. I need some peace. Leave me alone."

Kris continued to do crunches and Keso just walked away with a frown. What is wrong with Kris? Usually, their workout sessions were hardcore wrestling or close combat matches. They would run for miles or do heavy weight lifting. Why did he want to go backward and do some simple abdominal exercises.... It's not like he needed them.

Keso just left Kris and went back inside the mansion. He can go check on his own things then if Kris does not want his help.

It was not until it was dark that Keso went back out to get Kris. He had been working out by himself for the past few hours. Tye told them that they should let Kris do whatever he wanted to, after all, he was on vacation.

Kris went and took a quick shower before heading to the dining room. Everyone was already there. He noticed that the small table was switched to a larger table now so that it can fit everyone. He sat down on an empty spot and Collin gave Kris his rice.

Lena sat down with James next to her. Kris and Keso sat opposite of them. Collin and Tye sat at the ends.

Kris looked at the table and saw that there were several meat dishes on the table. It was good because he was starving. Kris dived in first, scooping a beef dish with several vegetables for flavoring, to his plate. He took a bite of rice and ate.

"It's good. You're cooking has improved Tye." Kris took another large bite.

"Good? I cooked that." Lena bragged. "Did you not hear us argue so much about what to have for dinner? What were you doing?"

Lena offered to help cook dinner with Tye but they both argued so much about how to cook things and what to cook. Lena raised her voice so much that it was worse than her singing. They finally agreed to have their own stations and cook their own things.

"I was sleeping."

Keso coughed out his rice and covered his mouth. Kris glared at the man. "Sorry… it was too good, I ate too fast." Keso replied.

"Try this dish!" Lena scooped a dish with shrimp and scallops to Keso's plate. "It's my personal favorite."

Kris eyes the hands scooping from the dish and gently placing it onto Keso's plate. Keso smiled and went in for a bite. Kris quickly grabbed his plate and switched it with his own. "He's allergic to seafood," Kris replied. He took a big bite into the food.

Keso smiled died and he controlled his rage to smack Kris in the back so he would cough the food back out. He can feel his mouth drooling watching Kris eat.

"Oh? Sorry, I did not know. Most of my dishes are seafood. I guess you can eat Tye's dishes."

"I am not allergic to anything!" Collin spoke. He needed to say something before Kris attack him too. Collin pat Keso's back and quickly dove into the dishes.

Keso looked at Tye but the doctor gently passed his vegetable dishes to Keso. He smiled and continued eating his dishes. Keso sulked, but ate his food, making sure to avoid the seafood dishes.

As usual, Lena ate her fair share of food and was satisfied. To save her face, she also ate some vegetables. A good meal always brings a smile to her face. When Gary wakes up, they will have to go eat some good street food again.

"Miss. Shen seems happy." Collin spoke after they all finished. Tye was clearing up the table with Keso.

"Of course! I am a cute angel and I can feel that Gary is going to wake up soon!"

"You're not a cute angel. You're a cute devil." Kris commented.

"I can't be a devil. You're already the devil. And yes, I am cute regardless of whatever I am." Lena got up and left first. She needed to read Gary his goodnight story then go to bed too! Kris stood up too and followed Lena.

Lena read Gary a short fantasy story. After she was done, she made sure the windows were closed and the curtains were down. She tucked Gary comfortable in and gave him a good night kiss on his forehead. "Good night."

Kris stood outside the door as he listened to Lena read the story. Once she was finished, he slightly opened the door to see what she was up to. He saw her kissed Gary gently on the forehead. He closed the door and left before Lena came out.
