As both of them continued talking, a burning smell suddenly spread throughout the kitchen.
Matilda exclaimed, “Oh no! My stir-fried shrimp!”
After that, she hurriedly pushed Jacob away and she was blushing as she ran towards the side of the stove. She looked at the pan and she suddenly wailed, “It’s over! It’s gone! The shrimp is burnt now!”
Jacob hurriedly reminded her, “Turn off the fire quickly! Otherwise, it’ll get even more burnt!”
Matilda hurriedly turned off the gas on the stove. The shrimp in the pan was completely burnt at this point. She could only say helplessly, “This is all your fault! The stir-fried shrimp was originally my best dish but now it is completely destroyed…”
Jacob also felt very guilty and embarrassed. Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Should I go out to buy you another bag of shrimp?”
At this time, both Charlie and Paul who were enjoying their tea outside also smell the burning smell coming out from the kitchen. Charlie subconsciously asked, “Do you think they burnt something?”
Paul frowned before he replied, “My mother is a very professional cook. I don’t think that something like that would happen while she’s cooking…”
Charlie stood up and said, “Paul, why don’t you sit down and wait for me for a short while. I’ll go in and take a look at what’s happening just in case something’s wrong.”
Paul hurriedly replied, “Then I’ll come with you too.”
When Paul was preparing to stand up, Charlie quickly stretched out his hand to stop him before he smiled and said, “Please sit down and enjoy your tea. I’ll just go and take a quick look by myself.”
At this time, Charlie was wondering whether Paul’s mother and his father-in-law were up to no good in the kitchen. If the dish was burnt because they were both doing something intimate and unsightly, then wouldn’t it be really embarrassing for them if Paul were to rush in and interrupt them at a time like this?
Charlie was different. He was not related by blood to either Paul’s mother or his father-in-law. Therefore, he would simply be watching a good show.
Paul did not know of Charlie’s intentions and thoughts at all. When he saw that Charlie had already walked in the direction of the kitchen by himself, he did not insist on following him anymore.
As soon as Charlie arrived at the kitchen, he opened the kitchen door before he looked inside.
At this time, he saw that the two people were busy tidying up the burnt dish and pan. They were still dressed very neatly and tidily and it seemed as though there was no action going on between them at all. Charlie could not help but feel a little disappointed.
He was originally planning to come and watch a good show but there was no show for him to watch.
However, Charlie could see that his father-in-law and his first love’s faces were flushed red. It felt like they must have some close and intimate contact just now.
Charlie deliberately pretended to be surprised as he asked, “Dad! Aunt Matilda, did you burn something? Are both of you alright?”
Jacob hurriedly replied, “Well, we’re fine. Nothing’s wrong, everything’s fine. We accidentally burnt a dish but Aunt Matilda and I are dealing with it now. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
How could a dish possibly be burnt when there were two people watching over it? Charlie could not help but think that they must have been up to no good just now.
At this time, Jacob had a guilty conscience and he said, “Charlie, you should just go out and enjoy your tea and conversation with Paul. Aunt Matilda and I can deal with this on our own…”
