A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 408 Abigail's Expectations

Abigail, who learned the truth, did not panic. Instead, she retracted her legs and stood up while speaking.

"I just have the habit of hugging the quilt when I sleep, and I unconsciously mistook you for the quilt. If you hadn't sneaked onto the bed and lay down, I would have been hugging the quilt."

Seeing Abigail's answer, Leon felt a little amused and had no intention of speaking.

Because he was free from Abigail's embrace, he could get up and got off the bed before Abigail. He took a shirt from the wooden shelf beside him without paying attention to the people around him, and took off the shirt on his body that was half soaked with Abigail's saliva on his chest.

The muscular upper body was exposed to Abigail's eyes without reservation. Abigail did not complain about Leon's behavior, but concentrated on admiring Leon's powerful muscle lines.

It was not until Leon changed into a new shirt that covered his seductive upper body that Abigail withdrew her gaze, straightened her wrinkled clothes, got up, took Leon's changed shirt in her hand, and took it out of the cabin.

When Leon saw this scene, he followed Abigail out of the house and saw Abigail running to the back of the cabin with clothes and helping him wash the clothes. Although she looked a little clumsy, at least her attitude was very serious.

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

I looked at the time and realized that I had taken a three-hour nap. It was already past four in the afternoon, almost five, and it was time to prepare dinner.

"I'll cook dinner tonight. We agreed on lunch."

There was only one piece of clothing, and it was a thin long-sleeved T-shirt, so it was washed quickly. After wrung out the water from the clothes and hung them on the clothesline under the eaves, Abigail said to Leon.

"I want you to taste my cooking."

"Are you sure you're going to cook for me instead of taking me to the clinic?"

Lyon was not very sure about Abigail's cooking skills, but judging from the matter of washing clothes, Abigail did not seem to be good at housework, so Lyon was still a little scared.

After all, his kitchen was basically made of wood. If Abigail burned it down after all her trouble, he could rebuild the house, but it would be a huge loss if the combination barrel was burned.

"No, my cooking skills aren't as good as Mom's and yours, but they're not too bad either. Dad really likes the food I cook, and I think you should like it too."

Abigail rolled her eyes at Lyon, obviously unhappy with Lyon's doubts about her, so she wanted to prove something to Lyon.

"Okay, then I'll be looking forward to your dinner." Looking at Abigail's serious face, Leon reluctantly believed it a little, and then began to help Abigail prepare the ingredients.

What surprised Leon was that Abigail's calmness and skillful movements when preparing the food were obviously a display of her hard work in the kitchen, which made him look forward to it.

But when Abigail started to light the fire to heat the pan and put the cut steak into it without adding oil, Leon directly took Abigail's place.

Watching Leon turn down the heat and pour in the oil, Abigail suddenly realized it, then stood beside Leon awkwardly and whispered: "Uh, I just forgot, it's not that I don't know that you need to add oil to fry steak."

"Yeah, yeah." Leon nodded perfunctorily to Abigail, secretly sighing that he was lucky to be in the kitchen, otherwise such a large steak would have been wasted. It seemed that although Abigail was experienced in preparing food, she had almost no actual cooking experience, probably because she often helped Caroline. As for the reason she said Pierre liked her cooking, Leon could also guess the reason, which was definitely the doting from his old father.

"Leon, are you a little disappointed?" Looking at Leon's skillful cooking skills, Abigail lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

"No, after all, you're very good at preparing food. When we cook together in the future, you can save me a lot of effort. A man and a woman working together won't make the work tiring."

Leon controlled the frying pan with one hand, and with his free left hand, he held Abigail in his arms, ruffling Abigail's soft long hair and soothing Abigail's emotions.

"But if we live together in the future, and you're so busy every day that you don't even have time to rest, and come home tired at night to find that I haven't even prepared dinner for you, you'll definitely feel lost."

Although Leon's answer was thoughtful and gentle, it made Abigail feel even more guilty.

"You can learn even if you don't know how. There's still plenty of time. You're so smart, and cooking is not some secret skill with a high threshold. You'll be able to master it soon." Lyon couldn't help but smile when he heard that. He didn't expect that Abigail had already started enjoying the future life of two people, which really touched Lyon.

"Well, I'll go find Mom when I get home." Abigail nodded seriously and promised, "I will never let you encounter such a thing again."

"Actually, you can also learn from me." Leon suggested.

"No, I want to give you a surprise." Abigail retorted, leaning on Leon's shoulder.

"As long as you're happy." Leon didn't force it and continued preparing dinner.

Soon, two servings of steak and a simple pasta dish were brought to the table by Leon. Abigail was always the most active when it came to eating. She sat close to Leon and enjoyed the dinner he prepared.

After dinner was over, Abigail immediately began to clean up the dishes and put them in the sink for washing. Leon also rarely moved, leaning back in his chair and admiring Abigail's busy figure, with mixed feelings.

This scene made him feel inexplicably satisfied. Perhaps this was the meaning of a partner. He just didn't know if Abigail would remain so diligent if he really ended up with her.

But it doesn't matter. When that time comes, Leon estimates that Abigail will not have time to take care of these housework.

At that time, Abigail was either taking a shower and waiting for him in bed, or taking care of the children. She definitely had no free time.

"Your smile is so strange." There were not many dishes for the two of them, and Abigail finished them quickly. She turned around and saw Leon looking at her. She was happy but also frightened by Leon's inexplicable smile.

Although this smile was not malicious, Abigail felt that there was some kind of pressure and expectation hidden under it.

Leon shrugged without saying anything, but pulled Abigail out of the kitchen and sat with her under the eaves. He hugged Abigail and admired the starry sky. It was not until Abigail couldn't help but shrink her body in the night breeze that Leon made a suggestion.

"Would you like to stay overnight?"
