Aaron put away his phone and turned to help Jenny, Annie's mother, with the vegetables. "Miss Jenny, please lethelp you." "No, it's okay, Aaron. | heard you were on the phone just now. Did something urgent happen? You should go if it's urgent," said Jenny.
Aaron smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing urgent. My friend just askedout for dinner. But | still prefer to eat the food cooked by you since outside food can be so greasy sometimes." Jenny chuckled happily. "Then stay, and I'll cook up a storm for you." Aaron rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand. "I can’t wait, Miss Jenny! Here, letwash those vegetables for you." a Jenny quickly stopped him. "No, no! It's enough that my husband and | are here to cook.

She rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not imagining things. She then walked into the living room and blurted, "What... What are you doing in my house?" Aaron held up a clove of garlic he had just peeled. "Can't you tell? I'm peeling garlic!” Annie continued to look at him with confusion. "Yes, | see that. But what I'm asking is why are you peeling garlic at my house?" "Your parents askedto stay for dinner, and I'll feel bad if | don't help out, " replied Aaron with a smile.
