“You also need to have a good rest. I have already sent someone to take the children to my place. You just need to take care of Jacob for now,“ Louis said.
Emily nodded her head slowly as she listened. If she was being honest, she had had no time to care about the three children these days. She could only think about herself and Jacob. Fortunately, Louis was considerate enough to help them.
“Keep in touch. I'll come over when I'm free.“ Louis took another look at Jacob with pitiful eyes and sighed. After a few seconds, he proceeded to leave with Taylor.
Not long after they walked out, they saw the doctor who had drawn blood for Louis. He approached them and told Louis, “Eat well to replenish the blood you've lost.“
Louis kept to himself on their way home. He took several deep breaths but said nothing. But when they got home, it was like all the words that he'd been holding back came out at once.
Tired, he leaned his head against Taylor's shoulder and said shamelessly, “You heard the doctor's words. I'm a little weak and I need more nutrition.“
Taylor turned slightly and looked at him very seriously. “I'll go tell the cook in the kitchen to serve more delicious food and with more nutrients than usual for you from now on.“
Louis pouted and tried his best to plead with her, hoping it would work. “I've never eaten the food you cook, so can you...“
Before Louis could finish his words, Taylor gently pushed his head away from her shoulder and said, “Then you'd better get some sleep. You will fulfill your wishes in a dream.“
Taylor shook her head. She had never cooked before. Wasn't Louis afraid of being food poisoned?
But Louis was persistent, so he said, “I'm going to give the cook a holiday now!“
Taylor almost laughed at his silliness. She sneered, “Okay Louis. You see, we have four children in our house now. You can cook for them then.“
As if only realizing it now, his mouth widened in surprise. At the thought of the four children, Louis finally gave up the idea. Nevertheless, he wanted Taylor to cook for him for once. So, he lowered his head and, pretending to be weak, fell back on the sofa. He cried out slowly, “Taylor, I think I'm going to faint again.“
Seeing this, Taylor felt helpless. Louis would do anything to get what he wanted, and this time, she knew that he had won. She rolled her eyes at him and poked him on the cheek. “You can eat the food I cook if you're not afraid of food poisoning!“
Louis smiled ear to ear upon hearing this. He knew that he was successful in his request. Sometimes, all he really needed was to be persistent. He felt really happy.
He was looking forward to seeing Taylor deal with the ingredients in the kitchen.
Taylor spent most of her time working, in front of a computer or buried in paperwork. She took care of the kids, especially Amy, but she had never been in the kitchen to cook for her family. She hired someone else to do the cooking instead. But now, since Louis had won their little argument, Taylor was fumbling around in the kitchen trying to cook for him.
He smiled. 'Does it mean that I'm the most important person in her heart?'
Louis thought happily, ignoring his act of coquetry. He watched Taylor moving around the kitchen as if she really knew what she was doing.
Since it was the first time that Taylor was cooking, she didn't dare to cook anything complex. She didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Louis even though she kept repeating that she didn't know how to cook. She just made a bowl of noodles for him under the guidance of their cook. But even the simple bowl of noodles turned out to be a strange color. When she once done, she immediately wanted to throw it out.
Looking awkwardly at the strange noodles on the table, Taylor was having a hard time deciding whether to give it to Louis. Finally, she took out her phone and handed it to Louis. “How about you ask someone to send you something to eat?“ she asked, wishing quietly that Louis would take the phone.
Louis stared at the phone and shook his head.
