Chapter 8 Both of Them Were not Used to Their New Life
Hubert cared about his shape very much and stuck to preventing himself from becoming fat due to bad eating habits.
It was too difficult to lose weight.
Teresa smiled, "Mr. Donovan has a very good figure."
"Then I go to bed?"
Hubert said okay.
"Good night."
Teresa said good night to him and turned to leave.
"Hold on, Te... Teresa."
Hubert stopped her.
Teresa stopped, turned around and asked him, "What can I do for you?"
Hubert looked at her, saying, "Don't come out in your pajamas next time."
She didn't wear underwear under her pajamas. His eyes were sharp, so he saw all the things that should have not been seen by him.
She was his wife, so it was okay that he saw her be like that. What if someone else saw her?
He didn't want his wife's body to be seen by other men.
Teresa blushed, ran back to her bedroom and slammed the door.
Hubert, "..."
He didn't feel embarrassed, but she blushed.
After sitting in the living room for a while, Hubert returned to the master bedroom. The house was bought temporarily, but it was well decorated and had all necessary facilities.
However, because there was not much time, his bedroom was not completely tidied up.
To his satisfaction, Teresa was very insightful and didn't ask to sleep with him in the same room.
She also didn't require him to assume "the responsibility as a husband".
They were at peace all night.
The next day, Teresa got up at six in the morning as usual.
In the past, when she got up, she would prepare breakfast, and then clean the house. If she had extra time, she would help her sister to dry clothes.
It could be said that during the years when Teresa lived with her sister, she actually was like a maid, but she made herself like that just because she didn't want her sister to be overtired. But in her brother-in-law's eyes, she deserved to be treated like a maid in his house.
After getting up, Teresa looked at the room that was still strange to her after she slept in it all night. After recalling the past for a while, Teresa muttered, "My God, I'm so stupid! I thought I was still in my sister's house. I'm at my own home now. I can sleep a little longer."
She fell back into bed and continued to sleep.
Unfortunately, her biological clock didn't allow her to re-sleep even if she wanted to fall asleep again.
She was hungry, so she got up.
After changing clothes and washing up, she walked out of her bedroom and took a look at Hubert's bedroom. The door was still closed, so he must have not got up.
He came back so late last night. Of couse he couldn't get up as early as her.
Teresa shuffled to the empty kitchen in a daze, looked around silently for a moment and then walked out.
She bought a lot of cooking utensils yesterday on the Internet, but they hadn't been delivered yet.
She regretted a little to buy them online, because she could have had cooking utensils be used if she bought them in supermarkets.
She remembered that she saw a breakfast store near the community when she moved to the house yesterday.
So she decided to go there to get something for breakfast.
She didn't know what Hubert liked to eat.
And she thought it would be not appropriate to wake him up to ask. So she planned to buy a few more kinds of food for him to choose from.
She bought some burritos, pancakes, eggs, juice and so on, which were common food eaten by ordinary people for breakfast in Watenll City.
Hubert slept late, but he didn't get up too late. After Teresa went out to buy breakfast, he woke up.
He was not used to having a wife, so he forgot Teresa also lived in the house. He went out of his bedroom with his upper body naked and went to the living room for a glass of water. Teresa opened the door at this time and saw his naked body.
As soon as Hubert saw her, he covered his chest with both hands and ran to his bedroom, just like what Teresa did last night.
Teresa was stunned by his reaction and then burst into laughter.
She thought in her mind: Is it necessary for a man to hide his upper body from being seen by others? What he has is just a six-pack stomach. Why did he cover his chest with both hands? Huh, it's so funny!
Hubert appeared in front of Teresa again after a long time. He was in a suit but his face looked gloomy. It could be seen that he wanted to say something to Teresa but he didn't know what to say.
After all it was he who forgot that his wife, actually a strang woman, lived in the house as well.
He usually lived in his big villa. In the villa, when he got up in the morning, he was the only person on the whole second floor. As long as he did not go downstairs, the maids dared not go upstairs. For that reason, he occasionally came out of his bedroom with his upper body naked.
He thought his habit made the scheming woman see his upper body.
"Mr. Donovan, I bought some food. Come and have breakfast."
Teresa didn't forget to have breakfast even though she laughed so hard. She put all the food she bought on the table in the dining room, and asked the man, who was being shy for his upper body being seen by her, to have breakfast.
Hubert came over after a silence, took a look at the breakfast, and asked coldly, "You can't cook?"
"I can and the food I make is very tasty."
"Breakfast sold by restaurants, especially those breakfast stands, is not very clean. You are supposed to eat those breakfast less. Since you can cook, cook at home. Breakfast made by yourself is cleaner and safer."
As a leader of the Donovan Family, Hubert had never had such an ordinary breakfast that ordinary people in Watenll City often had.
Teresa asked him, "Have you seen the kitchen in the house? It's emptier than your stomach now. There's no cooking utensils in the kitchen. Even if I'm a chef in a five-star hotel, I can't cook without cooking utensils and ingredients."
Hubert didn't know how to reply.
"Do you want to eat?"
Teresa asked him.
Hubert was indeed hungry. In order not to let his wife see through the fact that he was hungry, he sat down at the table and said calmly, "Since you've bought them, it will be a waste of food if I don't eat them. Having them for breakfast once or twice won't do harm to me."
He gave himself an excuse.
Teresa gave him half of every kind of food.
Then she sat down and said to him, "I saw there was no cooking utensils in the kitchen when I moved here yesterday, so I bought a lot online. After all of them are delivered to the house, I will cook for you every day and will not go out to buy breakfast."
Teresa thought he might be a fussy eater since he was a white-collar worker that had some power in a big company.
In face, she was used to cooking at home and only ordered takeaways when she was in the bookshop. Although he was a little more particular, she was willing to follow his habit.
"Our house lacks a lot of things at present. Can I buy them according to my plan?"
Hubert took a look at his wife sitting across the table and continued to eat. These ordinary food tasted good.
"Now that we have got our marriage license, we are a couple and this is your home as well. You can arrange it as you like, as long as you don't do anything to my bedroom."
She could do whatever she wanted to do to all the other places in the house.
"Okay."
With his permission, Teresa decided to do what she wanted soon.
She planned to grow some flowers on the balcony and put a swing chair there. By doing that, she could sit on the swing chair to read and appreciate the flowers in her free time.
"By the way, yesterday Grandma told me to come back to your home with you for dinner at the weekend and meet your elders."
Hubert said lightly, "Let's talk about it on the weekend. I'll see if I have extra time. If I am not free, I'll ask my grandma to bring my parents here. You can meet and have a meal."
Teresa nodded.
