“Is there a problem?” Stella asked, puzzled.
“When Nathaniel was a child, there was an activity at school that required him to make spaghetti for his parents. It happened to be his father’s birthday at the time, so he clumsily made spaghetti, only for it to be dumped by his father. His father event said some very harsh words. Nathaniel didn’t hate the taste of spaghetti, but the memories it brought him. Since then, he has never eaten spaghetti again.”
Jennifer began to feel sad as she spoke.
Stella stood in front of the dazzling array of shelves, suddenly feeling a wave of sadness.
She couldn’t imagine the disappointment of Nathaniel in his childhood.
And when she served Nathaniel spaghetti, he didn’t show any reaction at all.
“Jennifer, I understand now.”
“Sorry, I was just thinking about the past. Nathaniel actually quite liked the pizza I made. I didn’t do a good job, but he would eat it all every time. I know he did it because he didn’t want me to be upset. Stella, please take good care of Nathaniel. He’s not as difficult to get along with as you imagine. Don’t dislike him

just because he’s aloof, okay?”
Jennifer seemed worried that Stella would be deceived by Nathaniel’s appearance and end up disliking him.
“Jennifer, rest assured.”
Stella pushed the cart towards another food section.
“Goodbye.” Jennifer didn’t say much more.
“Um, goodbye.”

Stella hung up the phone, bought some groceries, and then went
to pay.
Stella returned to the apartment, the house was pitch black. Nathaniel hadn’t come back yet.
Stella sorted the food into the refrigerator, then left out some meat and vegetables to start cooking.
Considering her own busy work schedule and Nathaniel’s frequent overtime, she decided to make extra pizzas that could be stored. All they would need to do is heat them up when they wanted to eat.
After more than an hour of busyness, she had made the pizza. She froze the remaining ingredients, so she could make a late–night snack for Nathaniel in the future.
Stella placed the pizza in the storage box and put it in the

refrigerator. After everything was done, Stella stretched and casually checked the time.
It’s almost eleven o’clock at night.

She took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, but still sent a message to Nathaniel.
“When will you come back?”
Nathaniel didn’t return.
Stella glanced at the pizza on the table, hesitating whether to start baking it now.
She sat on the sofa and opened her laptop, thinking of Nate, whom Makayla had mentioned many times.
She was somewhat curious, so she began to search the name Nate on the internet.
After digging deeper, Stella couldn’t help but become more and more curious about this name, more and more interested.
Several foreign websites have reported on him, yet not a single photo of him exists.
It was said that he gained fame at a young age, yet he remained very humble. His identity was also incredibly mysterious, so mysterious that it was impossible to investigate.
Stella stared at the report, lost in thought, wondering who could

be so impressive?

At that moment, the door opened. Nathaniel walked in to find Stella still awake, slightly taken aback.
“Why haven’t you slept yet?”
It’s already half past eleven at night.
“Didn’t you say you were coming back for dinner?” Stella quickly stood up and closed her laptop. “Go wash your hands, I’ll make a baked pizza.”
“Pizza?” Nathaniel hesitated.
“Yes, it’s so late already. You’ve just recovered from your illness, need to eat something, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable tomorrow. You don’t mind pizza, do you?”
you
“No,” Nathaniel said lightly.
“Okay.”
Stella quickly darted into the kitchen.
Nathaniel stood in place, unable to regain his senses for a long time. In this world, the only person willing to wait for him so late was his mother.
He turned his head to look at the woman bustling about in the kitchen, wearing an apricot, momentarily puzzled.

She just saw her ex–boyfriend and then came back to please Nathaniel. What is the reason for this?
Thinking of Jack, Nathaniel was reminded of the scene where they embraced on the main road. His face darkened, and he turned and walked into the bedroom.
Hearing a loud door slam, Stella poked her head out from the kitchen.
She was very confused.
Nathaniel has been in a bad mood since he walked in. What happened?
Could it be that he’s having problems at work?
Just as she was thinking, the oven was ready, Stella quickly turned around to bake the pizza.
And then Stella waited for the oven’s signal.
During this time, she also made soup.
The pizza was ready very quickly.
Stella carefully carried the meal out of the kitchen. Just then, Nathaniel emerged from the bedroom.
Looking at him, Stella couldn’t help but be stunned.
She had been at Nathaniel’s house for almost a week now, but

had only spent a few times with him in this apartment.

This was also the first time she saw Nathaniel in casual clothes.
The loose pajamas did not make him seem casual, but rather highlighted his good physique. Paired with his handsome face, he appeared even more charming.
Nathaniel walked over, his gaze sweeping over Stella darkly. “Isn’t it hot?”
Stella snapped back to reality, feeling as if her hand had been burned.
“Ah, it’s so hot.”
She quickly put down the pizza, and touched her earlobe with her finger.
Nathaniel walked over to the table, glancing at the pizza. Just looking at the pizza was enough to whet his appetite.
Did he think she did this?
Nathaniel felt again that she had been with Jack just now, and it was impossible for her to have time to cook for him.
She must have bought this pizza on her way to please Nathaniel.
Nathaniel’s face remained unchanged, but when he looked at Stella, his eyes involuntarily softened.

Under the warm light, Stella, with her hair tied in a ponytail, held her ears with both hands, frowning slightly. She was inexplicably coy, completely unlike the calmness she had shown when discussing the cohabitation agreement with him before.
“Idiot.” Nathaniel said without hesitation.
Stella glared at him, about to retort, but her wrist was grabbed by Nathaniel and pulled into the kitchen.
It wasn’t until the cold water splashed on her hand that she came to her senses, looking at Nathaniel somewhat sheepishly.
And Nathaniel was staring blankly at the basin in the pool that had held the ingredients.
“Did you make this pizza?”
“Mm.” Stella nodded in confusion. “I’ve also prepared some ingredients and put them in the refrigerator. If you come back hungry from working overtime in the future, you can just take them out and bake them. You should know how to bake a pizza, right?”
Stella turned her head to look at Nathaniel.
The two of them looked at each other. She suddenly felt a faint force in his hand that was holding her wrist, a warm touch that. even cold water couldn’t isolate.
She struggled slightly, and Nathaniel’s grip tightened.
