Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 285 – Better Dug A Hole And Hide!

She felt like her dress loosened and her body instinctively turned straighter but the feeling went away. She had felt the same when she was cooking in the kitchen too and she had checked many times but her dress was just fine so she shook her head and let the matter go.

"The door is closed!" she whispered when she felt him staring at her back!

  It was his intense gaze that she felt like her dress had been torn from there she concluded as she looked back at the dishes in her hands rather than at him.

"Hmm," he muttered but did not take any initiative to take the dishes from her hands or placing them aside to open the door as he continued to stare at her.

"Umm, then you have to hold them again so that i can open the door!" her voice turned further lower when he did not respond but she felt like his gaze had turned further heated.

"Mmmmm"

"….." what did that mmm supposed to mean? Taking it as a yes, she placed all the dishes back in his hands and opened the door.

Holding the door, she looked back at the man who was again hidden under the plates, as she still did not understand why he was holding all of it by himself. She had never seen him even holding his glass before!

"Shall I call someone to help you?" The only reason she could think of, was he did not find anyone in the way to ask for help.

"No! I do not want anyone to touch the food my wife cooked for me!" he spoke colly as he walked in leaving the stunned girl behind.

"……." her whole body turned stiff when she heard him but here he was! The wife's words came out so naturally that she did not know how to respond to it.

When has the frozen prince earned the diploma in flirting? She blinked a few times and controlled her emotions as she turned and walked in.

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, she kept her face neutral as if she was not affected by his choice of words at all.

She picked up the dishes and started serving for both of them as she had seen in the palace. 

He picked up the plate with a refined aura around him, and took a bite of the crab she had cooked.

She forgot that she was trying to avoid his presence and looked at the man with anticipation. She had spent all day cooking the food for him; it would only be fair if he would praise her for it.

With that through, her eyes gleamed and her hands held the dress tightly, yet the man did not say a word and continued to eat without a word.

"Is it tasty?" she could not help but ask when she noticed that he was in no mood to speak another word! Wasn't he speaking so much just a few minutes ago, then why was he not speaking now!

She did not realized that she was behaving like a wife who was not appreciated well by her husband. When he looked at the eagerness in her eyes to get praise from him, a ray of light flashed past his eyes.

A smirk formed on his lips as he spoke in a further seductive voice, 

"Mmm, it is! Why don't you taste it to know!" with that he took his half eaten piece of crab from the same fork and brought it closer to her mouth.

Feeling hungry from working all day, she opened her mouth instinctively when the aroma of the tasty food invaded her nose.

"Mmm" she relished the taste with closed eyes as she loved seafood.

Last time he had fed her forcefully when she was not even hungry so she was not able to enjoy it at all. But now that she has been hungry since morning, the taste feels heavenly.

He looked at the fork as if it was proof of their love and took another bite from it.

"Do you want more?" though he had asked, he had already taken another bite closer to her mouth and once again she ate it without any thought. The process continued as he ate one bite and then fed her another with the same fork that the other plate continued to wait on the table.

"So, do you like the food this way?" he asked in a tone full of mischief as he looked at the empty plate in his hands and the satisfied reaction on her face.

Most of the time he was asking her things he did not really care about and she was replying to him earnestly as if that was the most important thing to talk about.

While in reality he was just keeping her distracted like parents do to their kids.

He knew that it would not have worked on her normally as she was very keen and alert but today she was looking rather dazed and slow to react.

"Hmm?" she furrowed her brows as they were talking about the changes in the office room! How did the food enter in between?

Only then did she notice that he was still holding the last bite for her in the fork while his other hand was holding the empty plate!

Her lips parted and it took her a second to come back to her senses. She was thinking about the proposal all this time. She was relieved when he started talking about work and the interior of the room.

All the time she was praying to the god that he did not ask her response again, that she forgot that he was feeding her all this time from his plate. But would she accept it?

"How would I know? I have yet to start my food" she pointed shamelessly at her filled plate and then blinked at him,

"Did you like the food so much that i cooked for you, my lord that you finished all of it so early?"

"………"
