Jessie nodded in agreement to Axells proposal.
On Thursday night, she adjusted her schedule and was picked up by Axel. It was a surprise to her when the car stopped at his apartment, as she hadnt visited Axells place before. She had assumed they would dine out, considering the stage of their relationship.
Noticing her hesitation, Axel explained, My parents are from the north and arent really accustomed to the cuisine of Duefron.
He held her hand and continued, Sorry to have put you to such inconvenience.

Although slightly better than Jessies current place, the difference between their apartments wasnt that much. Still, it was commendable for a foreigner like Axell to own property in Duefron at his young age.
Axell opened the door and whispered, My parents are easy to get along with.
Settling in, the aroma of spicy food filled the air, overwhelming Jessies sensitive nose. She coughed, her nose turning red as she struggled with the pungent odor, appearing somewhat pitiful.
My parents love spicy cuisine. My moms an expert at this dish. You really should try it later, Axell remarked, bending down to offer her slippers.
Despite having a delicate stomach and struggling with spicy food, Jessie nodded to avoid disappointing him.
Since its your moms cooking, Im sure itll be delicious.
As they conversed, a gruff voice emanated from the living room.
Axel, is this Jessie? Axel responded promptly, Yes, Dad. Let me introduce her. Jessie Green, my girlfriend.
Turning to Jessie, Axell continued, And this is my father.
Jessie greeted Daley in a polite manner. Hello, Mr. Calderon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaley Calderon, tall and resembling an older version of Axel, had rough, tan skin from years spent in the outdoors, lacking the scholarly demeanor.
Glancing briefly at Jessie, Daley returned his attention to the TV.
After a moment, he said, Go help your mother in the kitchen. Its nearly dinner time, and we havent got any food yet. By the way, can Jessie cook? Since Axell is busy with work, there should be someone at home to handle the cooking.
Jessie felt a pang of discomfort at Daleys remark, and Axell was also taken aback.
He hadnt anticipated his fathers question and hastened to clarify, Household chores are a shared responsibility. Whoever has the time can handle them.
Jessie mustered a smile, eager to support Axell and maintain harmony.
Rolling up her sleeves, she offered, Then Ill assist your mother in the kitchen. You can enjoy TV with your father in the meanwhile.
Axell was visibly pleased. Planting a discreet kis on her cheek, he whispered, Thank you.
