Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 89

Skylar's POV: 

This morning, I got up early, and decided that I'd get up at this time every day from now on.

It was a good habit.

After my talk with Jennifer, I decided to take her advice.

Right now, my only priority was to develop a good relationship with Dylan.

It would better for me to take the initiative to be good to Dylan and help him forget his painful past.

That was the most important thing.

I knew that Jennifer hadn't slept well last night.

Now, seeing her finally get some rest, I decided not to wake her up just yet.

I went over to the kitchen of the hotel to make breakfast for everyone.

The truth was, this was the first time I had ever cooked.

But thinking of cooking for the one I loved made my heart swell with happiness.

I opened the fridge and saw steak and some other food inside that made my eyes light up.

With a big smile, I took out my phone and found a food vlogger.

She had millions of followers, and she looked like someone reliable to learn cooking from.

I opened her video and kept it on the counter so that I could watch it while cooking.

I prepared the ingredients as per her instructions.

When everything was ready, I put a steak on the pan.

But the moment I did, there was a loud sizzling sound, and thick smoke billowed up from the pan, startling me.

In an attempt to remedy the situation, I tried to turn over the steak with a spoon, but I accidentally ended up splashing the oil onto myself.

What was worse, the steak was charred, and the whole kitchen was filled with the smell of something burning.

The oil splashed onto my clothes, as well as my hands.

My skin began to blister.

I was scared that if I couldn't fix this mess in time, the whole kitchen would go up in flames.

Anxious, I decided to turn off the stove.

Swallowing hard, I moved forward step by step towards the pan.

Suddenly, a hand reached out in front of me and turned off the stove.

It happened in less than a split second.

I hadn't even heard someone enter the kitchen.

It was Dylan who had come to my rescue in time.

He pulled me back in a hurry.

Only then did I dare to meet his eyes.

I had turned the kitchen upside down.

In a panic, I had even knocked over the pan and scalded my hands with hot oil.

I was so embarrassed that I wish I could dig a hole and hide in it.

Would Dylan think that I was useless? 

"Are you okay?"

Dylan asked anxiously, holding my hands.

I lowered my head silently.I couldn't even bear to face him at the moment.I had just wanted to make breakfast for all of them, but I ended up making a mess instead.

"Skylar, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Dylan checked my hands in a hurry and frowned when he saw the blisters.

"Why were you so thoughtless? Why did you try to go near the stove when your hands were already hurt?"

Hearing his sharp questions, I suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

"I was just trying to make breakfast for you to cheer you up.If I can make you happy, you'll forget the unpleasant past."

As soon as I said that, I saw Dylan's eyes soften.Then, he hugged me.
