Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

A short sigh escaped Julia’s lips. She walked away, stepped inside the kitchen, and started cooking. Water was dripping from the faucet while she was washing a handful of round, luscious red tomatoes, and two deep green cucumbers. In a bowl, she beat an egg and added a pinch of salt. The egg white was expanding while slowly mixing with the yolk. She then grabbed a sharp knife to cut a slab of meat and eggplant. Before preparing the vegetables and meat, she had already put a small pot of rice on the stove. After a quarter of an hour, the aroma of steaming rice occupied the kitchen. She finished cooking three dishes, an omelet with tomatoes, cucumber salad, and eggplant with meat. Everything was simple, yet fresh and mouthwatering.

At the table where Terence was sitting, he was watching Julia being in control in the pantry. He could see how busy she was.

"Yes, I do. I’ll do my best," he replied attentively with conviction.

"If no one has any more concern, I am concluding the meeting now. Let’s further talk about it tomorrow." Terence looked at everyone. The office staff gathered their belongings and walked out of the conference room.

His thoughts were all about Julia. Knowing that she would be welcoming him for dinner tonight excited him more.

When he arrived home, the fragrance of delicious food was already filling up the room. He could remember, he was twenty years old when he moved in. For so many years, he had been all alone. Finally, he was not alone now, he felt home.
