Chapter 470: Cooking Together

Ella Thompson did not dare to mention her illness in front of the King. He had already seen through her, and she warned him, "Don't come over, I have locked the door from the inside, even Elder Zhu can't open it with his key."

Then, she hung up the phone.

Returning to the kitchen, she was surprised to find Alvin Lindsey crouching and selecting vegetables. She quickly pulled him up, "Your Majesty, this isn't something you should be doing!"

"Who decreed what I must and cannot do, hmm?"

Alvin Lindsey smirked, "I'll pick the vegetables, and you'll cook. We'll divide the tasks evenly."

"Oh—" Ella Thompson extended her words in a nasal tone, finding it surprising that even cooking instructions had come from the King. It was like a task allocation, taken very seriously.

She awkwardly scooped several spoonfuls of rice from the storage cupboard, preparing to steam rice, but found herself lost in watching Alvin Lindsey pick vegetables.
