Runaway Bride

Chapter 11 Just Wait And See!

Elizabeth Song, just wait and see!

After returning to Jinyuan, Elizabeth washed the ingredients expertly and cooked pumpkin porridge with purple pottery boiler.

Fortunately, she was taken care by her grandmother in Fei City, and she had learned to be independent over years. Otherwise, she would only live a bad life as her mom did after being kicked out by the Song family.

After a while, Elizabeth who was busy in the kitchen, heard the sound of the door being opened. She guessed it must be Johnny Lu back.

She pursed her lips and put the dishes on the table.

Johnny unbuttoned his uniform jacket and the top two buttons of his white shirt, which looked like a little casual and unruly. He seemed to smell the food and walked towards the dinning hall.

He was very familiar with Jinyuan, and sat down a chair as soon as he entered the dinning hall. Elizabeth brought out a bowl of pumpkin porridge and placed it carefully in front of him.

"It's just cooked, so it’s a bit hot."

Hearing what Elizabeth said, Johnny simpered.

He still held against her escape before, so he removed servants in Jinyuan, trying to make her suffer. While this morning, when he heard the driver reported that Elizabeth would go out to buy vegetables, he thought she was going back to talk to Hongming Song.

"Elizabeth, what else can you do that I don't know?" Johnny was surprised by the several kinds of smells, she might cook a lot of dishes. "You even can do the work that only the peasant women can do."

Elizabeth felt nervous.

She didn't know her eldest sister couldn’t cook, and Jingrou Song didn't tell her about it at all. Since there was no servant, she just instinctively bought vegetables in the market and cooked for herself.

What should she say?

"Are you nervous?" Johnny's hearing was keen. Hearing Elizabeth's messed breaths, she was obviously nervous. He turned his head to her, and said powerfully: "Elizabeth?"

"I, I just learned it." Elizabeth was more nervous by his words that she even had cold sweat, and pretended to be calm: "Because Dad asked me to take good care of you, and let nanny teach me how to cook."

"Why are you so nervous?"

Elizabeth stirred her fingers and said trembly: "That's because...because I only learned cooking for a while. I'm afraid the dishes don't suit your taste, which would make you lose your temper..."

Her explanation seemed reasonable, and Johnny didn’t ask her anymore. Elizabeth was also relieved.

This man was terrible.

After telling Johnny the positions of the dishes, Elizabeth sat down beside him carefully.

When she was free, she could take a good look at Johnny.

The man’s facial features were cold and hard, his thin lips made him look ruthless. His long narrow and beautiful eyes was terrifying, because of the scary look.

When Elizabeth in Fei City, she often met warlords coming and going. They looked lifeless in the old- style dark military uniforms, while Johnny was different from them, he was so handsome and powerful, because of his tall and strong figure. He was born to be a commander.

Elizabeth pursed her lips, and felt a little regretful suddenly.

He was the colonel of the Beiyang Government, and at the crucial age of struggle, but became blind suddenly... Others might have broken if they suffered this, but he was so calm.

Seeing Johnny picking fish, Elizabeth hurriedly got up and went over, "The yellow croaker has many bones. Let me help you."

She was just afraid that he might choke on a fish bone, but it seemed to hurt Johnny’s susceptibilities. He slammed hand on the table, and the hot pumpkin porridge splashed on Elizabeth’s hands.

"Ah!" Elizabeth exclaimed because of the scald.

In the next second, her wrists were gripped fiercely, and her bones were almost crushed. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Johnny didn't look at her but said indifferently: "Elizabeth, all you need to do is to behave well as the wife of the colonel. Just do what you should do, and keep your mouth shut tightly."
