Alexander held a kitchen knife and lowered his head to ponder before slowly replying, “She only likes to
eat my cooking.”
Brandon remained quiet. He was forced to see him expressing his love for her.
He nibbled on the cucumber he took from the refrigerator and leaned on the kitchen counter to watch
Alexander cook. Alexander seemed used to kitchen work with his skillful cutting and washing.
Brandon sighed deeply when he saw Alexander busy around in the kitchen: He had never expected to
see Alexander cooking. ‘Is the power of love so great? He probably would never cook for any woman in
his life.‘
“My interest in her is growing even more. What kind of woman is she that could make you love her so
much.” Brandon tried to get more information from Alexander but was careful not to irk him.
Alexander did not bother looking up. He put the prepared ingredients into the pot with a sizzle and said
calmly,” People like you will never understand.” He flipped the spatula and seemed to enjoy cooking.
‘F*ck! What does he mean by people like me?! I‘ve been in many relationships, okay?‘ Alexander
spoke as though Brandon had never seen a woman before. Brandon looked away in disdain and
looked outside of the kitchen. Then...
“Oh my God!”
Brandon threw away the cucumber in his hand and jumped back. He was about to jump on Alexander
like a koala bear. Startled by Brandon, Alexander almost dropped the pot, turned around, and knocked
Brandon‘s head with a spatula, “Are you crazy?!” “I‘m not! There‘s a ghost in your house!” Brandon
pointed to the front with trembling hands. Alexander looked up and saw a person standing at the
kitchen door. Her body was dirty, and there was mud dripping down her body. Her long wet hair was
sticking to her cheek, and she looked like a ghost.
Alexander immediately realized that Brandon was referring to his wife. He was stunned at Lily‘s
appearance, hurriedly put the kitchenware down, and lowered the fire. He walked over to her and
asked warmly, “What‘s wrong?” “Who is he?!” Lily frowned when she saw the stranger in her house.
She pointed her index finger at him in confusion. Brandon was speechless. ‘Oh no, the female ghost is
pointing at me. Is she going to kill me?! She‘s so scary!’ Brandon was shivering non–stop.
“A nobody.” Alexander said indifferently, “Are you all right?”
“I‘m fine. I went to the suburbs to collect some materials today and accidentally slipped. It was also
raining, and I got wet.” Lily brushed her hair and felt that her wet body was very uncomfortable, “I‘ll go
to our room to shower and change.”
“Okay. Be careful not to catch a cold.” Alexander felt sorry for Lily and patted her cheek. Lily nodded
and looked at Brandon again before she went upstairs. Brandon‘s thumping heart calmed down when
he saw the female ghost‘ disappear. He patted his chest as he looked at Alexander, who calmly went
back to cooking. Alexander looked indifferent and calm but was very gentle when facing the ‘female
ghost‘ earlier. Brandon could easily guess who she was. “W–Was that your... Is she…” “Haven‘t you
met her earlier?” Alexander said lightly,“ Also, you screamed too loudly just now. You scared her.”
