Chapter 773
"No!" Karen Joy Kyle pouted and whined, like a child who did something wrong but still did not want
to admit her mistake.
"Give me your hand!" Nathaniel Cooper''s face darkened again, and his voice became colder, as if
he was punishing a disobedient child.
"No!" Karen Joy said stubbornly.
She didn''t want Brother Lionel to see her scalded hand, or else he would be even more annoyed.
She didn''t want to see the look of disdain in his eyes.
"Karen, be a good girl. Give me your hand. I will help you deal with the scalding." It was useless to
yell at her fiercely, so Nathaniel had to soften his voice.
He did not intend to be fierce at her, but he needed to warn her so that she wouldn''t do anything
that would hurt herself in the future.
"Don''t worry about me." She had been struggling for so long in the evening. She just wanted to
make a meal for him with her own hands. How could he yell at her? She felt misunderstood and
wronged.
"If you don''t want me to worry about you, then who would worry about you?" Nathaniel asked.
"Anyone but you." She had never been this misunderstood before, and in front of her Brother Lionel,
she was being stubborn.
"It''s my fault, I shouldn''t have yelled at you just now." Knowing that this little girl had a particrly
stubborn temper, Nathaniel took the initiative to hold her hand. "Let me deal with your wound, or I
will feel upset."
His voice became gentle again, which made Karen Joy feel a little warm inside. She could no longer
stay stubborn.
"Oh..." Karen Joy obediently showed her hand. She lowered her head like a child who had done
something wrong, but still did not look at him.
"Do you know why I yelled at you?" Nathaniel asked as he picked up the cotton ball and dipped it
with alcohol to disinfect her hand.
He must have seen the scalding on her hand and felt sorry for her. That was why he had chided her.
Karen Joy knew that.
But she didn''t want to say it, because she didn''t agree with Brother Lionel''s behavior. If he felt sorry
for her, he should just say it. Why did he have to yell at her?
Fortunately, she was forgiving. If she was ill tempered, she would probably be in tears already. She
thought.
"Don''t hurt yourself in the future, do you understand that?" After cleaning, he skilfully applied the
medicine to her injury.
He appeared very skilful when applying the medication, it made her feel like he often did these
things.
Brother Lionel wasn''t that free to always be helping others with their medication. This meant that he
must have applied it on himself a lot.
Thinking of thest time when she changed the bandage for him at the earthquake disaster area, he
had a lot scars on his body. Karen Joy felt a pain in her heart again. "Brother Lionel..."
"Alright, you should be fine now. I''m really sorry." Hearing that she was still using her nasal voice
like she did whenever she was upset, Nathaniel thought that she was still ming him for yelling at
her.
"Brother Lionel, if I''m injured, you''ll feel sorry for me, won''t you?" she asked.
"Yes, so don''t let yourself get hurt in the future," he said.
"Brother Lionel, then you have to promise me that you can''t hurt yourself in the future too. Because
if you get hurt, I will feel hurt too." Karen Joy looked at him like he was the center of her universe
and said gently.
"Karen..." He called her name out and didn''t say anything more.
He was born into the prestigious Cooper family, and it was a presidential family. He led a life
different from others.
Even his biological mother didn''t teach him how to love his loved ones. She didn''t teach him how to
love the world.
What his rtives taught him was to fight. He learned that he had to keep fighting so that he could
stand at the highest position.

In the end, no one would stay by his side!
"Brother Lionel, won''t you promise me the same?" Karen Joy stretched out her other hand and
grabbed his palm. "Brother Lionel, let me protect you in the future."
If he couldn''t promise her that he wouldn''t be hurt again, then she wanted to protect him in the
future, so that he wouldn''t get hurt again.
"Silly girl, you are so silly and cute!" Nathaniel raised his hand and gently stroked her pink and
tender face. "How can you be so silly?"
"Brother Lionel, other people would praise me for being smart, only you would say that I''m silly."
She ced his palm on her face, "I''m not silly."
"You are my silly Karen." Nathaniel took her into his arms and hugged her. Just as he was about to
kiss her, a rumbling sound interrupted him.
"Brother Lionel, you must be hungry." She didn''t admit that she was hungry. She didn''t want Brother
Lionel to know that it was her stomach that rumbled.
"Yes, I''m hungry." Nathaniel lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, saying, "Now let me
cook for you."
"Brother Lionel, do you know how to cook?" Karen Joy widened her eyes and looked at him. She
couldn''t believe that the dignified President could cook.
"There''s nothing that your Brother Lionel can''t do." Nathaniel rubbed her head and said with a smile,
"I will cook for you, whatever you want to eat."
"Brother Lionel, will you blow up the kitchen?" She had just burned the kitchen, and it was likely that
Brother Lionel will blow up the kitchen.
"Little girl, are you underestimating me?" Nathaniel lowered his head and suddenly kissed her lips.
He bit her lips as a punishment. "This is the punishment for underestimating me."
Karen Joy blushed but she secretly enjoyed Brother Lionel''s punishment. She remembered that her
father would often punish her mother like this.
Nathaniel took off his suit and went to the kitchen. He wore the apron that was hung up on the side
and skillfully cleaned up the mess left behind by Karen Joy. Soon, he cleaned up the kitchen. It was
so clean that the stovetop could be used as a mirror.
He opened the refrigerator and looked at the ingredients inside. He quickly came up with an idea
and said, "Little girl, I''ll prepare a meat dish, some potatoes, and tomato soup. How does that
sound?"
There were onlymon ingredients in her refrigerator, and there were only two of them. Nathaniel
thought it was good enough, but the little girl did not answer him.
He looked back and saw the little girl standing at the door and staring nkly at him. "Brother
Lionel, are you sure you can cook so many dishes?"
"Little girl, you have to trust me. Now all you need to do is to tell me if you are okay with these two
dishes and the soup?" If it weren''t for the gloves in his hands, Nathaniel would pinch this little girl
again.
"I will eat whatever you prepared." Even if Brother Lionel cooked burnt food for her, she would also
eat it. She wanted to empower him.
Soon, Karen Joy knew that she was wrong.
Brother Lionel was skilfully cutting up the potatoes, and his skills were just like the chef back at her
home.
Brother Lionel heated the pan and poured oil into the pan. After a short while, he put the potatoes
into the pan... Not longter, he whipped up a te of grilled potatoes.
After that, he stir- fried some chicken with some spices. On the side, he was also preparing a
nutritious pot of tomato soup. Everything was so perfect that there were no mistakes in the process
too.
Karen Joy was surprised and asked, "Brother Lionel, when did you learn these? How do you even
know these things?"
He was the President of a country. How many people worked for him? How could he be so good at
making these home-cooked dishes?
"Since my Karen doesn''t know how to cook, so I have to learn these things." Nathaniel rubbed her
head and said with a smile.
In fact, it was not a joke. Nathaniel learned a lot of skills in cooking because Karen Joy didn''t know
how to.
