My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2263

The realization hit me after what seemed like an interminable stretch of time. It usually took around half an hour to cook a steak, not to mention the other food.

"I'm talking about her parents' home." Aaron swallowed the shrimp dumplings and explained, "My father-in-law's company has been very busy recently, and she is his only daughter. It's proper for her to head back and help him."
