The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 384

Draven cooking.

Outside of the room was a small dining area with a kitchen, and her half-naked mate had his back on her, busy cooking.

She rubbed her eyes with a hand, trying to check whether she's dreaming or what.

'Ha ha, of course this is a dream. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. My dreams are being so weird these days. I need to get out of it.'

She pinched her arm, only to whine in pain.

"Ouch, that hurts--"

Draven heard her and looked in her direction. Seeing her distorted expression, he walked towards her with a ladle in hand. "What happened?"

She blinked a few times at him. The mixture of his forest scent, smoke and delicious broth caused her to dumbly gawk at him. "It's...not a dream?"

He looked at the red patch on her arm where she had pinched herself and rubbed the place gently with his thumb. "It's not a dream."

She moved her gaze towards the table where she could see freshly roasted fish, and other food prepared. "You can cook?"

He nodded.

She walked past him and went to check the items on the table. Aside from the roasted fish, there was also vegetable stew and bread, some cut fruits, and he seemed to be in the middle of making mushroom soup over the stove.

"I can't believe it. Even I don't know how to cook all this other than just basic. How do you--"

"After living for thousands of years, if I don't know how to cook then it's a shame," he replied offhandedly and returned to check on the mushroom soup on the stove.

"Oh, well, I guess that makes sense," she said and moved to stand next to him in front of the stove. "Can I taste it?"

"Why don't you sit down and wait for me to finish?" he offered, gesturing for her to go to the table. Two chairs were placed around it, perfect for just the two of them.

Despite her reluctance, Ember nodded and was about to leave him to cook, but the moment she turned around, her feet were caught in a tangle with the long sheet she used to cover her body.

Fortunately, Draven caught her on time.

His hand moved to where she was holding that sheet. She panicked. "We already did it many times! We can't--"

"I know. I am just helping you secure this so you won't fall down again," he replied without a single change in his expression, and Ember felt embarrassed for doubting his intentions.
