My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 744 Let's Celebrate

"They look pretty nice," Amber looked back at him and answered. His head clung to hers.

"Really?" He tilted his head to look at her.

Amber nodded. "For real. Although you don't know much about dishing up, the food's colors are fine. You are just a beginner. Good job, Jared."

She thumbed up to him.

Earlier, she had thought he might not cook well even if he had learned cooking.

Now, she realized that she was wrong.

Although she hadn't tasted them, she knew the dishes should be not bad based on their fragrance and color.

Her praise delighted Jared.

He released her waist, pulled a chair, held her hand, and pressed her to sit down. Then he pressed the fork into her hands and urged, "Hurry up and try them. Tell me what you think." "Okay," Amber answered with a smile.

She was also curious about their tastes.

Amber raised her fork while looking at the dishes as if she was hesitating about which one to start with.

However, she was always determined. Hence, she decided to pick up the dish that was nearest to her.

Jared had cooked three dishes, stir-fried sliced tomato with scrambled egg, stir-fried green pepper with shredded pork, and spicy eggplant.

Those were the most common homemade dishes. Usually, people in the Farrell family wouldn't see them.

After all, the cooks in the Farrell family were Michelin chefs. They were not good at cooking traditional Chinese dishes. Amber guessed that Jared might have never seen those homemade dishes before. After all, when Ben ordered takeout for him, he wouldn't order those homemade dishes either. Usually, it would be dishes from the finest restaurants.

Hence, Amber was surprised when seeing the everyday homemade dishes on the table.

Later, she understood, though. All cooks learning to cook would start from the most common homemade dishes. Hence, Amber put away her surprise. She picked up the stir-fried sliced tomato with scrambled egg first. Under Jared's gaze, she slowly put the food into her mouth.

"How do you like it?" Jared sat in the chair next to her and asked instantly.

Amber didn't answer as she was munching. She couldn't speak.

After swallowing the food, she turned to look at him.

Jared seemed as aloof, calm as usual. However, Amber took a closer look and found that he had his heart in his mouth.

She wondered if he was worried that she would give him a negative comment.

Thinking of that, Amber smiled. "I can't answer you now, Jared, because I've only eaten one dish. I need to try others. Then I can tell you the answer." "Okay. Try others." Jared raised his fork, picked up the food from the other two dishes, and put it on her plate.

Amber tried the other one.

Jared kept gazing at her without a blink.

He didn't ask her if she liked the taste again. However, the longer she ate, the more he frowned. Nervousness was written all over his face.

Noticing the tensed look on his face, Amber was amused.

She guessed no one else besides her could make him tense.

However, she had to admit that she was happy to see him tense because of her.

At least, it meant the evident change in his mood would only be because of her.

After finishing the food on her plate, Amber put down the fork, pulled out the paper napkin, and wiped her lips.

"Amber?" Jared called her. Evidently, he was still waiting for her answer.

However, Amber deliberately ignored him. She looked calm, picked up the water glass, and took a sip.

Jared pressed his thin lips together and called her again, his voice hoarse, "Amber?"

She knew he panicked. With a smile, Amber pressed her hands and looked over at him. "All right. All right. I'll tell you. Don't panic. Listen to me." "Hurry up!" Jared slightly raised his chin, waiting for her.

Amber looked at him for a while and thumbed up to him again. "Wonderful. I like their tastes."

Seeing that, Jared breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

Although he was confident with his cooking skills, he didn't know if she liked the dishes made by him.

After all, everyone had different standards for delicious food.

However, the result was positive. She liked them.

Jared wanted to keep calm but couldn't help curling up his lips.

In the end, he had to press a fist onto his lips to hide the smile that touched them. With a cough, he said calmly, "That's good. Let's eat."

Then he picked up a lot of food for her.

Amber looked at the piled food on her plate, her lips twitching. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, Jared seemed to be proud now. He didn't realize that she might not be able to finish them all. He was still going to put more food onto her plate. Seeing that, Amber grabbed his wrist to stop him. "Enough. Enough. Please stop it. If you keep doing so, I won't be able to finish them all. It will be a waste."

Jared looked over at her plate, raising his eyebrows slightly. Then he realized that it was indeed too much for her.

He was on cloud nine after she praised him, so he became irrational and only wanted to let her eat more food.

He didn't expect to make her overeaten.

Jared put down his fork. "I'm sorry, Amber. I didn't pay attention. It's alright. If you cannot finish them all, leave them to me. It'll be a waste."

Amber cupped her chin, smiling at him. "You must keep your words, Jared."

"Sure." He nodded.

Amber shared some food on her plate with him by moving it to his plate. "Okay. Go ahead. You cooked them yourself. I cannot eat them all. Eat more, Jared. Thanks for your hard work." "You are welcome," Jared answered with a bright smile.

Amber suddenly recalled something. She stood up.

Jared looked up at her. "What's wrong?"

"I remembered I had a bottle of wine," said Amber, "Let's have a drink. This is the very first time you have cooked for me. We should celebrate it."

As she spoke, she was about to find the wine.

Jared grabbed her hand and said, "Not necessary, Amber. It's just a meal. No big deal."

"Of course, it's necessary." Amber looked at him thoughtfully. "We need to celebrate many things when they happen for the first time. We are human beings, so we must have romantic feelings and a sense of ritual. Otherwise, our lives will be too boring. This is how I treasure your first-time cooking. Wait for me."

Smiling at him, Amber pulled out her hand and trotted to the study.

Jared looked at her receding figure and chuckled. Tenderness was written all over his face.

Her words made him overjoyed.

Not only women need to be paid attention to in a relationship. So do men.

Amber treasured the things that he had done for her. She wanted to celebrate the meal with him, although the dishes he made were common.

It moved Jared significantly.

Soon, Amber returned with a bottle of wine, which hadn't been opened.

Jared reached out to take it over. "I'll open it for you."

"All right. Here you go." Amber also gave him the wine opener.

She didn't mind letting a man do it.

Jared started to pull out the cork. He checked the label on the bottle of wine doing it. In a surprise, he said, "This is good stuff."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
