Chapter 612
Matthew knew that his parents would discuss his behavior at length after he ended the call, so he did
not bother with further exnations. Regardless of his financial standing, he was, in fact, living off
others at present.
With these thoughts in mind, he opened Mrs, Quier’s WhatsApp and sent a message. [I’ll bring her
home to meet you during the holidays]
In what felt like the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. After lunch, Cynthia checked on Joshua’s
condition. Finding his fever hadpletely subsided, she felt greatly relieved.
Joshua, who had not eaten hunch, had been sleeping heavily. Now that his fever had broken, he was
starting to feel hungry. Cynthia, I’m hungry,” he mumbled.
“There’s some food saved for you. Get up and eat,” she said.
Captain had specifically left the meal, Cynthia had nned to prepare a simple meal for Joshua once
he was better or perhaps order takeout. However, Captain had already left a portion for Joshua, ready
to be eaten as soon as he woke up.
As Joshua sat down at the table and eyed the delicious spread of dishes, he immediately knew
Matthew had prepared them. After a few meals, he could easily identify Matthew’s culinary style.
“Go ahead and eat, and after you finish, you should apologize to Captain,” Cynthia advised.
Joshua stared at the dishes, a part of him refusing toply. Eating food prepared by a love rival felt
wrong.
“Cynthia.” he began, drawing out his words.
Seeing Joshua’splexion hadn’t fully recovered, Cynthia softened her tone. “What’s wrong?
“I don’t want to eat this,” Joshua confessed. While Matthew’s cooking was certainly delicious, he
preferred food prepared by Cynthia. “I would like some porridge.”
Cynthia paused, her mind involuntarily reying the Captain’s words from lunchtime. Had he foreseen
Joshua’s reaction?
“Cynthia?” Joshua called, noticing Cynthia was lost in thought. He did not want to reveal his
preferences more than necessary.
“What kind of porridge would you like?” Cynthia asked, sticking to the advice given by Captain before
he left.
After pondering for a moment, Joshua responded. From his observations over the past few days,
Cynthia’s cooking skills appeared to be average. Requesting aplex dish might not be practical, so
he opted for simplicity. “in white rice porridge will do.”
“Alright,” Cynthia agreed, secretly surprised, Captain had even predicted this.
Following lunch, the Captain had briefed her about Joshua’s potential dislike for the meal on the table
and had suggested some coping strategies. Now, it seemed like the Captain had an uncanny
understanding of joshua
With a bowl of in rice porridge prepared earlier by Captain in her hand, she walked into the kitchen
and then out to serve it to Joshua. Joshua seemed somewhat taken aback, but with the porridge
already before him, he felt obliged to eat it obediently. Otherwise, Cynthia might suspect something
strange about him.
Twenty minutester, Joshua had finished eating and was feeling quite satisfied. Although the taste
was a bit nd, he was content, knowing Cynthia prepared it.
“Joshua,” Cynthia began, tidying up the bowls and chopsticks after the meal. She suddenly wanted to
discuss something with
him

“Yes, Cynthia?” he responded.
“Do you dislike Captain very much?” she asked.
“Dislike him? Of course,” Joshua blurted out. More than that. If he could, he wished the man would just
disappear.
“But he’s been very good to you, and he seems to understand you quite well. He even prepared rice
porridge for you in
advance today, anticipating that you might not like the dishes left for you,” Cynthia tried to reason with
him, almost breaking his spirit with her words.
Joshua could only respond with a puzzled look, “Matthew made it?”
