Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 185 Eggs

"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.

Mrs. Cox blushed. She rushed out, saying, "Oh, it's a bad time. I ... I just noticed that there was a delivery outside, and wanted to bring it in for you..."

Because she was always the one who would open the delivery boxes and bring them in, there was no exception for this time. She was so nervous that she dropped the big box into the ground. A bunch of condoms with all sorts of strange flavors rolled out.

The whole room went silent for a while.

Jaquan finally broke the silence and said, "Mom, listen to me. Please, you have to..."

Mrs. Cox covered her eyes and said, "I am sorry. You don't explain, my son. I understand. It's fine. I'm leaving right now. You... you guys... go on..."

The door was shut.

Jaquan looked back at him and Emma, and carried her to the chair in the hurry. Then, he went to the big box. There was a card falling out of the box which said,

"Thank you, Mr. Cox, for your help at Tea Manor last time. It's just a small gift, hope you would like it. Harold."

Did Emily send this?

Jaquan was struck dumb. It felt almost like an inescapable surge of humiliation and embarrassment. And he was baffled too.

He could not believe that the idea of sending condoms was from Emily, who was a young lady after all. So he carefully checked the box and recognized the logo at the lower right corner of the box, which belonged to the Dalton Hotel.

"This is outrageous!"

"Ferne, you're so screwed."

Ferne, eating in the private room, sneezed three times for no reason. He cursed, and turned around to Noah, "What the..."

The word "hell" almost slipped out of his mouth. Suddenly, he remembered that this man warned him not to swear. He swallowed the words immediately and rubbed his neck.

Emily looked at him and asked, "Do you have something to say, Ferne?"

Ferne shook his head.

Emily put down her chopsticks and said, "Alright, I do have to talk to you."

Ferne was nervous and turned to Vincent, "Wait, Vincent. Is she going to confess to me?"

Vincent sat on the seat of the host. He dressed in ink, and the tea smoke wrapped around his face, making it impossible to see him clearly. He responded in his cold voice, "What did you say?" Ferne chickened out, "Nothing. Emily, just say it. Everything is in control."

Emily said, "..."

Noah sat at the side and looked at Christy warmly. The two of them were whispering. Seen from afar, they did not look like siblings. However, there was no intimacy between them like lovers. Probably sensing Emily's gaze, Christy suddenly looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Emily picked up a cup of tea and waved it in the direction of Christy and Noah.

Although they did not know what she meant, they picked up their teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing her tea, Emily said, "Noah, I have said it before that we are business partners. So I will also participate in your affairs."

Hearing what she said, Noah immediately turned to Christy.

Christy was slightly surprised and shook her head at Noah, indicating that she did not tell Emily what they were doing under the table.

"Ferne, you are not surprised at all. You knew all of this, right?" Emily looked thoughtfully at Ferne and said, "No wonder when I asked how you knocked him out, you never answered me back. It turned out you knew each other before."

Ferne said, "..."

"Please don't mention it again. Noah really is a man of grudges."¶¶¶¶¶
