SWNOVELS Chapter 232
She was the one who had invited him to stay, yet here he was, taking the lead in her kitchen.
“The soup will be ready in a moment.
Please, take a seat.
”
With a thoughtful expression, Bryson focused his attention on the pot of soup, his long eyelashes veiling his intent gaze.
Hannah nodded awkwardly and retreated to the living room, her fingers fidgeting as she wondered what to do next.
“Try the tomato soup.
”
At the sound of his voice, Hannah looked up just in time to see Bryson, now in an apron, setting a steaming bowl of soup before her.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Lately, Bryson seemed to have a mysterious influence on her emotions, leaving her puzzled.
Turning slightly, she nodded and reached for the spoon to taste the soup.
Bryson caught her wrist, cautioning, “Easy now.
It’s still quite hot.
Sip it slowly.
”
He removed his apron and took a seat across from Hannah, gazing at her with a gentle smile.
“Aren’t you having any, Mr.
Mitchell?” Hannah bowed her head, avoiding Bryson’s gaze.

“Go ahead, take a sip,” Bryson suggested casually.
The living room was steeped in an odd tension.
As Hannah sipped her soup, Bryson observed her in silence.
Neither of them spoke.
Finishing her soup, Hannah hurried into the kitchen, clutching her bowl.
“I’ll… I’ll do the dishes!” she announced.
Watching her, Bryson, seated at the dining table, couldn’t help but smile.
She reminded him of a mimosa plant, shrinking at the slightest touch.
After cleaning up, Hannah returned to the Living room to find the TV on and Bryson engrossed in a show.
She wanted to usher him out, but words failed to form on her lips.
Taking a seat at the opposite end of the sofa, she ventured, “There’s still some soup left in the pot.
Don’t you want any, Mr.
Mitchell?”
Bryson turned to her.
“Feeling tired? I can leave.
”
“It’s fine.
I can stay and watch TV with you, Hannah offered, rather formally.
