Aware that refusing her any longer would only make it suspicious, Elijah went to the kitchen with a

stern expression, returning with another set of tes and utensils. Under Sheena’s deathly gaze, he
confidently picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in his mouth without hesitation, chewed
expressionlessly, and swallowed.
The entire process seemed natural, and Elijah remarked, “It tastes normal. Why don’t you try?

With her chin resting on her hand, Sheena pointed at the dish and said, “Finish this entire te.”
Elijah was caught off guard, but he still smiled and responded, “You said you’re the master here, so this
is made for you. How could I eat it?”
Uninterested in continuing the pointless banter, Sheena stated, “If you don’t eat it, I’ll get the
bodyguards to help you.”
“Sheena!” Elijah’s eyes narrowed, locking gazes with her. “Are you trying to use your position to
threaten me?”
Sheena did not deny it. “Of course! Dealing with a disobedient, manservant requires a firm approach.
Do you want to eat it yourself, or should I have theme in and feed you?”
It was a multiple–choice question with no real choice.
Under her gaze, Elijah’s face darkened. His pride and arrogance of many years had been worn down
four times by this woman in just a few hours.
It was simply annoying and despicable!
Yet, his anger seemed petty as Sheena looked at him with a harmless smile, as if she was not using
her position to pressure him. Unable to refuse, Elijah reached for the te of vegetables.
He did not even notice that his hands were trembling slightly.
Taking a deep breath, Elijah stabbed a piece of vegetable and forced it into his mouth, finding it difficult
to swallow.
In an attempt to retaliate against Sheena, he had added excessive unknown condiments. Little did he
know that she, vignt as ever, did not take a single bite. Not only that, but she also seemed to have
seen through his act right from the start.
Even so, Elijah was not ready to give up, attempting to maintain a calm facade while tasting this
culinary disaster. However, as it entered his system, waves of stomach acid surged, and he could not
endure it any longer.
Elijah rushed to the kitchen, vomiting uncontrobly.
Sheena pped her hands in amusement, genuinely impressed by his endurance as he
managed to take three bites before vomiting.
Did he think such childish tricks could outwit her?
Was this man really so naive?

“Mr. Freeman, wasting food is uneptable. You’re not getting dinner tonight as your punishment.”
Still recovering from the ordeal, Elijah heard Sheena’s words but chose not to respond. After throwing
up the contents of his stomach, which left a burning sensation in his throat, he decided to go without
eating.
Nheless, just because he was not eating did not mean Sheena would do the same.
After all themotion, it was already past 9 p.m., and Sheena felt a bit hungry.
Considering Elijah’s culinary skills, dinner was not something she could expect tonight. Thus, she opted
to take matters into her own hands and prepared a ssic spaghetti.
The pot on the stove was already burnt, so Sheena had to retrieve another pot and pan from the
cupboard. Then, she boiled water and added spaghetti, moving swiftly.
Elijah stood silently by the door, watching her. He soon became absent–minded, wondering if time
could rewind to the day they got married, would everything be different?
If he had not agreed to divorce back then, living a in and simple life with her did not sound so bad.
His train of thought was quickly interrupted, and he chuckled self–deprecatingly. If Sheena knew what
he was thinking, she would probably say a despicable man like him did not deserve to remarry her.
At the end of the day, he was just a manservant under contract, truly undeserving of her. While he
contemted, Sheena finished preparing a delicious bowl of ssic spaghetti. Exactly enough for one
bowl, with not even a drop of extra sauce left in the pan.
