The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 247

I anxiously flipped the steak in the pan, hoping that Abigail would step away from me.

However, she watched me intently, showing no intention of leaving.

Forcing a smile, I looked at her and tried to gently persuade her, "Why don't you wait outside? The smoke and grease might leave a smell on your clothes."

Hearing my response, she just chuckled lightly. With a calm expression, she said solemnly, "It's fine. I can stay here with you the whole time. You're willing to endure all this smoke just to cook for me. I can do the same."

Her words filled me with helplessness. Once she had decided on something, there was no talking her out of it.

After I was done cooking the steaks, I carried the dish out and joined Abigail at the dining table. Just as I was about to start eating, she picked up a piece of the steak and held it out by my mouth.

Her gaze was gentle, and a faint smile graced her lips as she said softly, "Here, let me feed you."

I hesitated for a moment before eating the piece of steak she offered. Awkwardly, I smiled and said, "Why don't you try some yourself?"

She showed no intention of eating on her own. Instead, she opened her mouth, and with a playful smile, said, "I want you to feed me."

Her tone was so affectionate, almost teasing, that I felt disoriented.

For a brief moment, I was transported back to the past, to a time when we were still in love.

However, in the present, I felt none of those feelings. Looking at her, I replied softly, "Why don't you eat it yourself? I'm not used to doing this."

"Oh?" She looked at me, raised her eyebrow, and suddenly started smiling.

Seeing her insistence, I had no choice but to comply. I cut a piece of steak and brought it to her lips.

Satisfied with my response, she ate it with delight. When she looked back at me, her eyes seemed to shine with a rare and unfamiliar warmth.

"Samuel, this is how we used to eat together in the past. How could you forget how things were between us after so many years of marriage?"

Her words hit me like a bolt of lightning.

A wave of unease surged through me.

What did she mean by that? Was she implying that I hadn't fulfilled my duties as a husband lately?
