Before he could crack a joke to lighten the tension, he earned a reprimand from his Lioness, "Were you trying to burn this house? Didn't I ask you if you know cooking or not?"
He stood there speechless.
"Answer me god damn it!" Suzy yelled, worry written over face.
"I didn't intend to do that. It happened on its own…" Chris mumbled, shrugging his shoulders like a kid who had been utterly wronged. He was looking at his shoes, trying to get away from her scoldings.
"Oh Lord!!!" Suzy huffed, patted her head to calm down. Putting her left hand on her waist, she instructed Chris, "Just sit over there. I'll cook now."
Chris took baby steps like a puppy, bowing his head low. Seeing him behaving, Suzy asked softly, "What would you like to eat? I will whip up for us."
Suzy asked for his choice, and his eyes lightened up.
'He is indeed a kid!'
