Mabel Quinn thought for a moment and said, "How about this, from now on, I’ll cook for you at least once a week." Once a week is quite easy to manage, and if I have the time, a few times a week wouldn’t be a problem.
Kyle Kinston raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Aren’t you afraid it’ll be too tiring?"
She shook her head, "I think cooking for someone you love is a very happy thing, how can it be tiring? But right now, because I’m busy with work, maybe I can’t cook every day. However, uh...perhaps in the future when we both retire and have a lot of our own time, then I’ll cook your breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day."
She had already thought about their future retirement life, when one day, both she and he have gray hair. He might be at home raising birds, playing chess, writing calligraphy or something, and she would read books, watch culinary shows, and make different dishes for him every day.
Thinking about such a future makes her feel very happy.
"Alright, when we retire, I’ll eat the meals you make every day," Kyle Kinston said, his eyes full of tenderness.
After dinner, Kyle Kinston gave Mabel Quinn a brand new phone, exactly the same as her previous one, "Your SIM card is also in this phone, and the couple’s number has been reset. It functions exactly the same as before."
"Thank you," Mabel Quinn said, but thinking about the price of this phone made her feel a bit of a heartache.
"Don’t lose your phone so casually again. Do you know how anxious I get when I can’t reach you?" Kyle Kinston said.
"I promise I won’t lose my phone again," Mabel Quinn put away the phone, then said, "By the way, I also have a gift for you."
As she spoke, she held his hand and led him to the bed in the bedroom.
On the bed was a plush teddy bear, half as tall as a person. Mabel Quinn said, "Here, this is it. Although it’s not anything fancy or expensive, uh...I hope you’ll like it."
He lowered his eyelids, his voice a bit hoarse, "Why are you giving me this?"
"Because you said before, you wanted a teddy bear but never got one, so I wanted to give you this," Mabel Quinn said.
"But didn’t I also say I’m not a child anymore? Besides, haven’t you already bought lots of stuffed toys for me before, which are all piled up in the storage room?" he said.
"That was when I bought them for the Kyle with the memory and behavior of a six-year-old. This teddy bear, I bought for the Kyle Kinston now," she said, with a hint of unease, "I hope to give you the things you never had, as much as I can..."
That’s what she thought, and that’s why she did it. But seeing his expression now, she wondered if she did the right thing.
Maybe this self-assured action of hers wouldn’t necessarily make him happy.
"If you don’t like it, then I’ll just put the bear away!" she said, intending to reach for the bear on the bed. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel•fire.net
He grabbed her arm, "I like it very much."
She was taken aback, "You like it?"
His eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyelids slowly lifted, and in his dark pupils, her image was reflected once again, "Yes, I like it very much because you gave it to Kyle."
Because she said, for the things he couldn’t get in the past, she wished to give him whatever she could.
