Chapter 1187 Helping Out in the Kitchen

"Is it the man that brought me away?"

Alex replied, "Yes. I was just wondering why he ran after seeing us."

Jewel suggested, "Maybe he's afraid you would get back at him!"

Narrowing his eyes, he shook his head and disagreed, "It's not that simple. When you just

returned, Eugene and I thought about it and felt that Damian Fenton guy must know

something, or maybe he's somehow involved in how you lost your memories."

Jewel frowned. "Are you suspecting he has something to do with my amnesia?"

"Yes, or else he wouldn't have taken off after seeing us."

She then suggested, "I'll find him tomorrow."

But Alex was worried for her and dissuaded her, "I think it would be better if you didn't.

We're on Double Dragon Court's property, and it would be troublesome if someone

recognized you."

Jewel assured him, "It's fine. I'll just put on a disguise."

"No. Just let me do it." Alex grabbed her hand. "I don't want him to find you, so be good

and stay here."

Nodding, she agreed, "Alright. Let's stop thinking about it and return to bed. It's almost

morning."

The next day, when Hector entered the kitchen, Ellen was busy making breakfast. "Is there

anything I can help with?"

His sudden greeting startled Ellen, and she almost threw away the spatula in her hand.

Hector hurriedly approached her. "It's just me. Oh, God. Did I startle you?"

Relieved, Ellen said, "It's you. Why are you up so early?"

He replied, "I'm older and sleep a lot lighter. When I heard movement in the kitchen, I

thought it might be you because those youngsters would not wake up so early and help

you make breakfast."

Chuckling, Ellen remarked, "Those youngsters have a different work schedule than ours.

They work until late, so of course, they can't wake up this early. That's why I don't call

them and just make a simple breakfast for myself."

Hector sighed. "What else are you making? I'll help."

But Ellen declined, "No, that's not necessary. Just take a seat."

Hector insisted. "It's fine. Although I'm not as good as you in the cooking department, I

can still help you and keep you company!"

Once he finished, Ellen instantly recalled what Eugene had said to her last night, and her

cheeks uncontrollably blushed. At that moment, she felt slight resentment toward Eugene

for pointing that out because she now felt like everything Hector said had an implied

meaning.

Seeing that she wasn't replying, Hector grabbed the bow of spinach and asked, "Do these

need to be washed?"

Ellen replied, "Yes. I'm going to stir-fry them later. It's better to eat lighter foods in the

morning."

"Sure. I can do that. Let me cook for you."

Smiling, Ellen agreed, "Sure."

Soon after that, he washed the spinach and skillfully chopped them. Then, he heated the

pan and poured in some oil before adding the spinach.

The dish was done within five minutes, and Hector brought his food to Ellen, proudly

asking, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Ellen was slightly shy, but seeing his enthusiasm, she did not let him down and had a

taste.

It was more delicious than she expected, so she complimented him, "It's delicious. You

have the potential to be a great chef. The food smells and tastes great."

"Hahaha…" Hector laughed joyfully. "Stop flattering me. My cooking isn't as consistent as

yours. Sometimes they taste good and sometimes they don't. You just happen to be lucky

today."

Ellen assured him, "That already deserves praise. Most men don't even know how to

cook."

That answer brightened Hector's mood. "That's because they have someone to pamper

them. I don't. I can't keep eating outside and would sometimes envy people like you who

can eat home-cooked food, so I began learning how to cook. I won't complain no matter

how bad it tastes anyway."

Ellen looked at him and thought of something before asking, "Why don't you find someone

to look after you? Or just cook for you?"
