Farewell My Stepfather novel Chapter 37

Chapter37

“There are still many things you don’t know.” Jeremiah’s attention was all on the pot roast in the pot, his voice slow, “But we have plenty of time, you can get to know me slowly.”

Paulette didn’t say anything, she just side–eyed his smooth and refined profile.

She thought their marriage was just a compromise due to circumstances, they didn’t have to take responsibility for each other, or put effort into maintaining anything.

But now it seems…

If we just settle down with him like this for the rest of our lives, it doesn’t seem too bad.

Jeremiah wasn’t very skilled at cooking, but he did each step carefully and the dishes turned out delicious.

Paulette helped bring the dishes to the table, and then went to get a bowl to serve the rice.

“Paulette.”

“Huh?”

“Come and help me.”

The man’s magnetic voice rang outside, she quickly put down the spoon in her hand and ran out.

Jeremiah looked a bit helpless and said quietly, “The string behind the

apron is tangled, help me untie it.”

“Oh…”

Paulette walked up to him, feeling at a loss for words.

Jeremiah turned away, not moving for a while, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Not much, not really.”

She couldn’t just say…

Standing behind him, couldn’t help but sneak a peek at a certain area with my own eyes, right?

Paulette took a deep breath, reminding herself to stay focused, and then reached out with a delicate hand towards the man’s lower back.

I don’t know if she was doing it on purpose to go against her, that simple relationship seemed to be getting tighter in her hands.

Paulette had a subtle feeling.

At this moment, it seems like she and the man in front of her have been living together for years, just like any ordinary couple.

This idea made her cheeks get warmer and warmer.

Time passed by without us realizing, a minute or two.

Jeremiah slightly turned his head, “Can’t figure it out?”

Paulette shook her hand, thinking to herself “my bad, my bad“, and said with a forced calmness, “Hmm, I don’t know how you tied it, this is clearly a knot.”

“Since it’s a deadlock, let’s just leave it.”

The man looked at her and said softly, “Change it.”

Until they got to the supermarket, Paulette unconsciously held the man’s hand and picked things while walking.

“This is delicious, perfect for binge–watching.”

“The face towel is gone, one.”

“This…”

Jeremiah didn’t say anything, just smiled at her occasionally and pushed the shopping cart quietly.

This scene, in the eyes of others, the pairing of handsome men and beautiful women, indescribably pleasing to the eye. A woman sighed, “Young people nowadays are really good, even shopping in a supermarket is so full of love, unlike us…”

She glanced at the man next to her, snorted and said, “Making you come out with me to buy something is like pulling teeth… Hey, what are you doing?”

“Shh!”

The man stood sideways behind the shelves, motioning for her to be quiet.

He took out his phone and secretly snapped a photo, even though both of them were in profile, anyone familiar with her could tell at a glance that it was Paulette.

The woman saw him frowning, she even enlarged the photo and looked at it again before sending it, becoming even more puzzled.
