Confession

"Are you satisfied now? After that, don't bother me! Just watch TV there!" He said as he put the baking sheet containing salmon, potatoes and asparagus into the oven.

"What are we going to eat? Another worm dish?"

"Listen, it's not worms but pasta! Tonight we're going to eat salmon!"

"Salmon?"

"Why? You don't like it? If you don't like it, don't eat it!"

"It's not like that, but-"

He just felt strange if he had to eat fish. He remembered his former self who was half fish. But there was no way he could tell Aiden the real reason. Apart from that, Aiden also took the trouble to cook a delicious dinner for her, even though today he had just had a wrestling match and he must have felt tired.

"Aiden, I want to learn to make food."

"You mean cooking? Why?"

"It's okay, I just want to try it!"

"You should learn to read and write first before learning to cook. Because almost all ingredients and spices for cooking have instructions that you have to read. If you can't read writing, how are you supposed to cook?"

"Can't we just use instinct? In nature, we can keep eating without needing guidance."

"Yeah, if you eat raw meat and vegetables straight away, you don't need to cook them first. You just eat them straight away, you idiot! Basically I don't want to bother teaching you to cook before you learn to read!"

"Then teach me to read and write!"

"What? Teach you to read and write? Tch, no way! It's troublesome!"

"So who will teach me?"

"Oh my God, why do I have to teach you to read too? What can you actually do?" Aiden felt quite frustrated because he really didn't know what Azura could actually do. The only advantages she has are her very beautiful face and seductive body shape. She won't be able to survive in this world just by relying on beauty.

Aiden remembered Bob's offer this afternoon, asking Azura to become a porn star to make money. It seemed like that was the only job that a woman who couldn't do anything could do.

"If she were a porn star she would be famous, but she's too pretty to do that job. Becoming a commercial star? She can't read scripts, she's too short to be a model, except for adult magazines. Gosh, it seems like that's the only job she can do do." Aiden started to think hard about Azura's future. He doesn't want Azura to do work that he will regret in the future. Besides, he also didn't want Azura's body to be enjoyed by many men. He doesn't want Azura to become the object of the sexual fantasies of the philandering men out there like his perverted manager, Bob Franklin.

"Aiden? What's wrong? Are you daydreaming?"

"Nothing! You really want to learn to read and write?"

"Of course!"

"If you're serious, I'll teach you. Apart from that, I'll teach you how to count too."

"Really? Are you serious?"

"I'm serious! Tomorrow I start working at the car repair shop, I'll be home around five in the afternoon. After dinner, I'll teach you to study."

"Working? You're going to have another wrestling match tomorrow?"

"No! Actually I've gotten another job. I hope this can be a permanent job. As for wrestling, it's just an extra job to earn more money."

"Is that so? So what about me?"

"Can you stay at home alone? I'll leave at eight in the morning, before leaving I will prepare breakfast and lunch for you first. Snacks too, you can eat them while watching TV. Is that okay?"

To be honest, Aiden felt worried if he left Azura alone at home. But because from now on Azura will live with him, that means he needs more money.

"Aiden, do we have to work very hard to earn money? Is money that important? In the past, Ethan also said that by becoming a soldier, he could earn more money so he could support his little sister."

"So, your Ethan is a soldier?"

"Yeah, he worked on a ship that stored a lot of explosives."

"Ship? That means he's a navy soldier, why didn't you say so?"

"I don't know, but it was a long time ago."

"Why? There's a chance he's no longer a soldier?" Aiden asked. Azura just nodded slowly.

"Is that so? What's his full name?"

"Ethan,"

"Yeah, I know. But his surname? It would be easier to find someone if we knew their full name."

"I don't know."

"Exactly how long have you known him that you don't know anything about him?"

"Forty in the evening."

"What? Forty nights? That means only 40 days? Oh my gosh, how can you believe the words of someone you've only known for 40 days?"

Azura's confession annoyed Aiden. He didn't understand how there could be a girl as stupid and innocent as this? Who can easily trust someone just because he is treated well.

"We just met but I trust you!"

"Why do you believe me?"

"Because you are so kind to me! You let me stay in your house, gave me food, clothes and also this very nice hair ornament and necklace. You are so kind to me!"
