Chapter 966: Together with Her
The car started, and Dermot took Evelyn to the supermarket. They decided to cook at home.
This was mostly Dermot's idea. Evelyn was tired and just wanted to eat and rest.
Dermot insisted she didn't need to do anything but wait to eat. Evelyn reluctantly agreed to go with him.
"Mr. Doyle, shopping at the supermarket? Doesn't that hurt your CEO image?" Evelyn teased as she followed him.
Dermot, in his suit and tie, looked like he was there to buy out the place, not just groceries.
While picking out vegetables, Dermot said, "Being a CEO doesn't mean I'm not human. I still need to eat, though I can delegate a lot."
If it weren't for Evelyn, Dermot wouldn't be there. He could have had the servants buy groceries or the chef cook.
But for Evelyn, he wanted to do it himself, with her.
"Good point, Mr. Doyle," Evelyn said. She was happy to let him cook since she just had to wait to eat.
Knowing her preferences, Dermot picked out everything himself without asking.
As they were about to leave, Evelyn saw some slippers and pulled Dermot over. "I don't have any suitable slippers for you at home. Let's buy a pair."
"Okay," Dermot agreed. Her preparing for his visits showed she was getting used to him being around.
After buying slippers, Evelyn wandered into a boutique.
With the New Year approaching, the store was full of cute, fluffy toys, making it feel cozy.
Dermot saw her eyeing a red teddy bear and grabbed it. "Do you like it? Let's take it home."
"I'm just looking," she said. She liked these things but rarely bought them, thinking they were impractical and might make her seem childish.
"Dr. Kyte, you're an adult. You can choose what you like," Dermot told her.
Evelyn pursed her lips and said nothing more. Maybe he was right. If she liked it, she should just buy it.
They left the boutique and headed home.
Since they left work late and then went to the supermarket, Evelyn was starving. "Mr. Doyle, how long until we can eat? I can't wait."
"Very soon," Dermot said, heading to the kitchen without giving a definite answer.
In the kitchen, Dermot started washing vegetables. Evelyn walked in and said, "Let me help wash the vegetables. You handle the cooking."
She thought this might speed things up.
"Okay," Dermot agreed.
They quickly got busy in the kitchen, like a long-married couple.
Cooking together effortlessly, they chatted and laughed, perfectly in sync.
