There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Chapter 782

Chapter 782

However, immersed in the joy of marriage, Arthur quickly moved on. He hugged Jean and whispered in her ear, "There is no hurry. We have a lifetime. You can make it up to me after your period."

Because of his meaningful tone and her past experience with him, Jean could imagine how he would want her to make it up to him. In shyness, she pushed him away. "Hurry up and drive. Send me back to the company, I have a design draft left to be revised."

Arthur was pissed upon hearing her words.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and complained, "We have just gotten married, why are you in such a hurry to go back to work?"

In a relationship, women were usually the more sensitive ones. They paid more attention to details than men. However, between Arthur and Jean, Arthur was the one who was more sensitive.

"What else can we do now?" Jean asked in response.

She was still on her period, they couldn't have sex anyway. In that case, she might as well go back to work.

"We can make a dinner reservation at a romantic restaurant, or we can just stay at home and do nothing. I just want to spend some time alone with you," Arthur proposed.

Jean was rendered speechless.

Upon hearing Arthur's words, Jean suddenly felt that she wasn't as romantic as he was at all. Maybe she really didn't have much romance in her. She didn't even feel this day special.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking," Jean apologized in time and said, "In that case, let's go home. But before we do, let's drop by the grocery store to buy some groceries."

Arthur was shocked, "You can cook?"

When they were abroad, they always ate at restaurants and Arthur had never seen Jean cook. Later, when they were in Riverside City, he had seldom eaten with Jean and had thought that she shouldn't know how to cook.

He couldn't cook, but he had never thought there was a problem with both of them not knowing how to cook. They both had busy jobs. They could always hire a housekeeper to do the housework and cooking for them anyway.

Looking at Arthur, who was in shock, Jean replied, "I can't."

Arthur was stunned.

He then asked in a gentle tone, "Then why do we need to buy groceries?"

"We can learn how to cook. We are both smart people, it won't be hard," Jean said with ease.

Hearing this, Arthur rubbed his head and said, "Are you sure learning how to cook is the first thing you want to do after we got married?"

Arthur found it weird. If they blew the kitchen, their marriage anniversaries would be special.

"But Jean…" Arthur had wanted to talk Jean out of this and persuade her to eat with him at a restaurant. He wanted today to be romantic.

However, Jean was determined and urged him, "Let's go to the nearest grocery store."

Arthur had no choice but to drive. If this was what she wanted, he would do his best to make her happy. Since she wanted to cook, it would be his honor to taste her cooking.

Sitting in the passenger seat and looking at the expression on Arthur's face, Jean couldn't help but smile.

In fact, Jean knew a little about cooking, but she could only cook some simple dishes. For example, cooking steak.

Back then, when she was cut off by her father, in order to save money, she would cook by herself. However, she had been mastering dual degrees and taking part-time jobs at the same time, she didn't have much time to make herself any advanced dishes.

Even so, she was much better than Arthur, who couldn't cook at all.

She lied and said she couldn't cook to prank him.

They soon arrived at the grocery store. Seeing how familiar Jean was with the groceries, he frowned and asked, "You can cook, can't you?"

"What do you think?" Jean asked him back.

Arthur sighed and kept silent.

As Jean was putting two steaks in the cart, she asked with a playful smile, "You keep asking this question, are you afraid of my cooking?"

"Of course not," Arthur hurriedly said, "I will eat whatever you cook."

Jean smiled and said nothing more. She walked to the spice's zone.

After they finished, they drove to Jean's apartment. She had all kinds of cookware. After changing into her casual clothes, Jean walked into the kitchen. Arthur followed her in and said, "Let me help you."

"It's okay," Jean smiled and said, "I'm going to cook some pasta with steak. That's all I know."

Arthur forced her to the counter and complained, "So, you were lying about not knowing how to cook?"

"I didn't," Jean tried to defend herself, "I really don't know how to cook anything but pasta and steak."

Arthur had seen the sly smile on her face. It was obvious she had lied.

He held her waist and bent over to kiss her, after a simple kiss, Jean turned her face away. "Stop! I need to cook now."

Arthur had to stop. He knew that if he kept kissing her, he would have trouble controlling his lust then.

Jean put on the apron and was about to cook when she said to Arthur, "You can go out now. I will call you when it's done."

"No." Arthur held her waist from behind. "I want to keep you company."

Therefore, while Jean was cooking, Arthur had been hugging her from behind. When there was something that needed to be washed, Arthur was Jean's guy. Although he was a bit clumsy at this, the both of them felt happy.

They worked together on the first meal they had together after marriage, of course, they felt happy.

They then opened a bottle of red wine, turned off the lights, and lit some candles. A romantic dinner was ready.

Arthur was delighted. Raising his glass, he said to Jean with a gentle smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Hudgens, for the lovely dinner."

"You should have a taste before you call it ‘lovely'," Jean smiled and answered.

"Anything you cook will be lovely." Arthur was getting better and better at sweet words, and Jean had gotten used to it.

After putting down her glass, Jean was about to pick up her fork and knife to eat when Arthur stopped her. "Wait a minute."

Jean was confused. Then she saw Arthur take out his phone to take some photos of the food and her, and at last, their marriage certificates.

"I will post them in our group chat to show off to Julian and the others," Arthur said proudly.

"They would be creeped out by your PDA," Jean said with a resigned smile.

"But they are all much better at PDA than me, especially Julian. You know, he shows off his kids every day, Phil might leave the group chat soon because of it." As Arthur said, he sent the photos to the group chat.

Anyway, it was his first time showing off there, he didn't think anyone would curse him.

Jean was amused and burst into laughter because of his words. She could almost imagine how Phil would feel when he saw the photos of Julian's kids. They all knew how much Phil wanted kids.
