Chapter 337
“She makes really good soups too,” said Cordelia.
“You’re too kind, Ms. Cordelia!” Helen ced the pot on the table mat. She was close to Phil. She
peeped at him and continued to speak while smiling. “Okay, all of the dishes are served! Oh, right, I
see that young people love taking pictures before they eat! That’s a trend, right? Aren’t you going to
take pictures, miss?”
“Oh, yes!” Zennie responded immediately. “The food you cooked looks really good, Aunt Helen. Of
course we’ll have to take photos!”
“Hey, Phil!” Helen pushed him. “Don’t let her do it on her own. Take photos of her!”
Phil’s expression changed. He snapped his head up.
Helen was scared by the fierceness that shed through his eyes. She instinctively stepped back.
However, it onlysted for a second.
When she returned to her senses, Phil went back to the young man who always had a smile on his
face again.
“I’m sorry, my phone isggy…”
“Really?” Cordelia smiled. “It didn’t seemggy when you were taking pictures earlier.”
He fell into silence for a moment and slowly took out his phone.
He looked at Zennie, and she looked rather awkward. “Forget it. Let’s eat!”
Helen walked up. “You guys eat. I’ll take the pictures! I know I’m old, but I know how to take photos
too!’
She wanted to grab Phil’s phone but clearly felt he did not want to let go.
He held it tight, and the veins on his hand were bulging.
Helen secretly scoffed. As they entered a stagnant state, she suddenly let go!
He did not expect her to do that—he did not see thating. His phone dropped into the boiling
soup. The spilled soup messed up the table, giving his heart a squeeze.

The atmosphere was awkward. It was unusually quiet.
Cordelia’s heart was pounding. She looked at Helen. She could see that Phil was mad, but he tried
his best to suppress his rage and maintain a natural expression.
“Ahh, I’m sorry!” Helen went on with her act. “Look at me, I’m useless! I can’t even hold the phone
properly. I…”
“It’s okay, Aunt Helen.” Zennie eased the situation. “His phone is indeed faulty. I was going to get
him a new one anyway—”
“No need!” Phil suddenly said that with a cold face on.
Cordelia was shocked. She saw Zennie looking at him, feeling guilty. Her big eyes, which seemed to
have stars twinkling in them, were filled with fear.
Phil looked at his phone that was dead in the soup and stood up expressionlessly.
“I suddenly recalled that I still have work. I must leave now,” he said in a deep voice. “I won’t be
eating this time. I’ll try your cooking next time, Aunt Helen.”
Helen smiled and said, “Phil, are you ming me? Perhaps you can tell me how much your phone
costs? I’llpensate you—”
He scooped his phone from the soup and left before waiting for her to finish her sentence.
Zennie said goodbye to Cordelia in panic and went with him.
Cordelia felt relieved when they had left far away. She looked at the pot of soup after falling into
silence for a while and said to Helen. “Take care of this.”
“Sure.”
Helen asked her after a while. “Ms. Cordelia, did I… go over the line?”
“No, you did great.” Cordelia’s voice was soft. “I was actually thinking how to get his phone to get
him to delete those pictures, but I didn’t have a proper reason.”
Helen nodded. “Your concern is right, Ms. Cordelia. No matter what, one shouldn’t take pictures of
someone else’s house when they visit for the first time. That’s not okay!”
“Harbor no ill intention against others, but never rx vignce against evildoers.” Cordelia sighed.
“I hope I’m overthinking.”
“What else did you think, Ms. Cordelia?”
Cordelia lifted her eyes to look at her. She only asked after hesitating, “I’m not sure if you saw
that… No matter what, I feel the way they treat each other is strange.
“I feel…” Cordelia spoke of her suspicion. “Zennie is afraid of him!”
