Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 185

"I am here to check what you're making." Emma looked at the trash can and then looked back at the counter where the disaster took place. The expression on her face was somewhat indescribable. She was obsessive-compulsive and could hardly bear to see all of these.

"Porridge." Jaquan pointed at the pressure cooker and pointed back at the chaos. "I wanted to make a dish."

Emma looked at the bowl and the counter, there were eggs and eggshells. She could no longer stay cool.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Why did you want to cook?"

If he were asked by his friends, Jaquan would feel a little embarrassed. But it didn't matter to tell Emma about it. He fetched out a new bowl, picked up an egg, and cracked it, "I want to cook for my parents."

Emma stared at him and remained silent for a moment. Then she offered help.

"No, thanks." Jaquan didn't even look up. With a hard push, the egg shattered again, and his hands were covered in egg yolk and egg white.

"..."

Emma did not laugh at him. She frowned and wanted to clean up the counter as soon as possible. But she tried her best not to think about it. She said patiently, "Let me show you how to crack an egg. Just watch and learn."

"How do you..."

While Jaquan was just about to ask, Emma had stood up with the support of the counter. He rushed over and grabbed her arm, "Come on, be careful. It took you days to recover. Don't waste our effort..."

"Help me with my leg."

"..."

Jaquan lifted her right leg. Emma's body was extremely flexible, and it would easy for her to lift up her leg. However, when Jaquan was supporting her leg, something dirty surged into Emma's mind out of nowhere.

Jaquan was standing right behind her, lifting her leg with one hand. He was so close.

"..."

Damn it.

Jaquan looked away immediately. In a few moments, Emma had cracked an egg in the bowl. She cocked her head and asked, "Did you see it?"

"..."

Jaquan mumbled, "Yes, yes."

Emma frowned and handed him one egg, "Show me."

Jaquan couldn't let go of her leg, so he had to lean over from behind. He used his left hand to crack the egg, but had it crushed for another time.

Emma carefully cleaned his hand with the kitchen towel and tried again. She placed an egg in his palm, held his hand and guided it to the edge of the bowl. "Knock it gently, use the other hand like this when you see a crack..."

It was hard for Jaquan to focus. The two of them were so close. He could smell the shampoo and the scent of the shower gel on her neck. How could she still have this scent, while she took the shower the day before yesterday? And how come he couldn't smell this nice? They used the same shampoo and shower gel.

"Alright, give it another try." She handed him another egg.

Jaquan gently knocked the egg on the side of the bowl with his left hand. Then, since his right hand was occupied in supporting her leg, Emma helped him to crack the egg into the bowl.

It came to a successful end with four cracked eggs.

"Then stir it with chopsticks." Emma said.

All the bowls and chopsticks were in the cupboard right behind them. Jaquan held her in his arms and turned around to get the dishes. Emma sensed something amiss when being held closely and she looked up. From Jaquan's serious expression, she realized maybe she was thinking too much.

After picking the bowl and chopsticks up, Jaquan handed them to Emma. Then, he carried her and turned around. The two were so close that Emma almost found it a bit inappropriate.

Just as she was about to speak, there came the sound of someone tapping on the password paddock. Soon, Mrs. Cox came in quietly and didn't seem to notice anyone in the kitchen. She took a quick glimpse in the direction of the guest room and probably assumed that everyone was asleep at this time. Carrying a large box and bags of fruits and vegetables, she walked into the living room.

At this glance, she saw the two in the kitchen who were tightly leaning against each other, and her son was still lifting Emma's leg.
