Chapter 1922 Bacon Oatmeal


    The next day, Elisa slowly stirred awake as the sunlight filtered through the curtains and spilled onto


    the bed.


    Sleepily, she opened her eyes and picked up her phone. She was shocked to realize that she had slept


    past ten o''clock.


    Perhaps it was because she had been unusually rxed since she got back, or maybe it was because


    she stayed up toote thinking about many things yesterday.


    In short, it was rare for Elisa to wake upte.


    As she hurriedly finished washing up and went downstairs, she found only Gareth sitting on the sofa,


    reading the newspaper.


    Julia and Be were nowhere to be seen.


    Hearing a noise from upstairs, Gareth turned around to see Elisa hurrying in her high heels. He


    furrowed his brows. “Slow down, and don''t rush,” he said.


    Upon hearing that, Elisa instinctively slowed down her pace.


    Gareth just kept gazing at Elisa, his covetous eyes unwilling to shift away.


    Elisa didn''t stop until she reached the bottom of the stairs.


    Elisa scanned the room and asked, “Where are Grandma and Be?”


    After regaining hisposure, Gareth pointed to the dining table. “Let''s talk while we eat. Don''t you


    have to go to the police station today?”


    Elisa nodded. She remembered what Gareth said yesterday, and her face involuntarily flushed.


    Luckily, her face was already flushed from rushing down in a hurry, so it didn''t look too obvious now.


    Then, she sat down at the dining table. The food looked hot.


    Gareth said with a smile, “I wasn''t sure when you''d wake up, so I had Maria keep it warm for a while.


    Try it and see if it affects the taste.”


    Elisa was slightly surprised, turning to look at Maria beside her. Maria was beaming, smiling as she


    gestured for Elisa to quickly give it a taste.


    “Maria, you''ve worked hard.” Elisa expressed her gratitude. She served herself a bowl of bacon


    oatmeal. It melted in her mouth. It was perfectly cooked and soft, just the way she liked it.

    It''s been a while since I''ve had food that suits my taste so well.


    Back on the ind, Mrs. Ke was quite the cook. However, her cooking was all the ind style, which


    was either too spicy and overpowering or overly sweet and rich for Elisa.


    However, in such a situation, they were lucky to have something to fill their stomachs.


    That was why Elisa had never said anything.


    Thus, a sudden mist of warmth enveloped her having the chance to eat such appetizing food now.


    Perhaps after experiencing life and death, one bes quite sensitive. Elisa often felt that a mist


    would appear in her eyes from time to time.


    Seeing Elisa remaining silent, both Gareth and Maria were taken aback.


    Than, sha sat down at tha dining ta. Tha food lookad hot.


    Garath said with a sm, “I wasn''t sura whan you''d waka up, so I had Maria kaap it warm for a wh.

    Gareth asked, “Don''t you like it?”


    Maria also looked at Elisa with a nervous expression.


    Elisa shook her head with a smile, then took another sip. She then looked at Maria affirmatively. “It''s


    really tasty.”


    Maria wasughing so hard that her eyes were barely showing. She quickly said, “As long as it''s tasty,


    it''s worth the effort. It wouldn''t be in vain that Mr. Gareth came to me early in the morning to learn how


    to make bacon oatmeal.”


    Elisa was somewhat surprised, and turned her head to look at Gareth.


    “You made this?”


    Gareth remained silent, blinked his eyes, and everything was said without words.


    Gareth remained silent, but Maria had something to say.


    She continued to tease, “Madam Smith and Ms. Be have been up for a while now. One has to go to


    work, and the other never changes her routine of taking an early morning walk. Mr. Gareth hasn''t eaten


    yet, he said he''ll wait to eat with you. He even asked me to teach him how to make bacon oatmeal. He


    said you particrly like this dish, and he want to make it for you in the future.”


    To say that Elisa was not moved would be a lie.


    Suddenly, Elisa remembered a night on the ind. She unknowingly smacked her lips and told Gareth,


    “The dishes are too sweet. I''d rather have bacon oatmeal.”
