Chapter 210


    At three in the morning, Seth leaned on the kitchen counter, trying to shake off the


    darkness in front of his eyes. He looked down at the contents of the bowl, and his


    vision went dark again. He had followed Isabe’s instructions exactly by mixing water,


    eggs, and flour, but something felt wrong. It was solid when he grabbed it with his hand


    but turned into liquid when he stirred it lightly. It was like a fluid that defied the Laws of


    Newton!


    “Seth, are you finished?” A voice from outside the kitchen urged him.


    Seth took a deep breath, thinking he might as well just cook it. After all, given how


    intoxicated Isabe was, she might not even eat it. He had never seriously cooked


    before, and he had never touched any of the appliances in the kitchen. From the gas to


    the seasonings, he searched everything on the Inte.


    Fortunately, he managed to sessfully light the fire. He looked down at the strange


    liquid in the bowl with an uneasy feeling. Smoke started to rise from the pan, and he


    figured it was time to add the mixture. Without hesitation, he poured the entire bowl of


    liquid into the pot.

    With a sizzle, the entire kitchen filled with smoke, and, for the first time, Seth realized


    how dangerous a kitchen could be. He didn’t dare to linger, pouring half a bowl of water


    into the pan


    checking its state.


    The pan quieted down, and his heart sank because it was filled with something dark


    and disgusting.


    “Seth?” Isabe’s voice floated in like a curse.


    Staring at the ck mass, Seth scooped out the contents of the pan, which he didn’t


    dare to taste. When he came out of the kitchen, he nervously turned off the living room


    light. The surroundings were dimly lit, with only a faint light and a bit of moonlight, and


    it was very quiet.


    Isabe sat at the dining table, innocently holding her fork. “Let’s eat.”


    With a frown, he ced the te on the table. Due to theck of light, it was hard to see


    what was on the te.


    Isabe blinked. “Is this a pancake?”

    “Um…” He felt guilty, worried that she would y a trick and make


    first. That would be a disaster.


    “It looks pretty good.” Isabe nodded.


    Seth frowned, suspecting that she had poured herself some more alcohol, and opened


    his mouth to tell her not to eat it and he would call someone to deliver food instead.


    But Isabe didn’t care. She looked serious, picked up something from the te with


    her fork, and put it in her mouth without hesitation.


    Instinctively, he reached out to stop her, but she was too quick for him, and he watched


    helplessly as she chewed the food carefully as if she had no sense of taste. “Don’t eat it


    if it’s not good.”


    “No.” Isabe shook her head and swallowed the food in her mouth. “We must respect


    other people’s hard work.” She took a deep breath, turned to him, and said, “I


    understand. If I don’t finish it, you’ll feel bad.”


    Seth thought to himself, What does she mean? It’s just some food. What’s there to feel

    Just as he was thinking this, she started to mumble, “Are you a pig? How could you cook such a


    terrible thing? How did your parents raise you?” Taken aback, Seth turned


    to look at her as she raised a finger, her eyes wandering aimlessly. “You can’t talk like


    that. It’s impolite. It will make people sad.”


    Seth clenched his jaw, and an image shed through his mind. It was the first year


    Isabe joined thepany. He had quickly won her over, but then he took her for


    granted and didn’t treat her like a woman at all, making her do everything.


    Once, after a heavy drinking session at a dinner party, he came home angry because of


    a difficult business partner. Hungry in the middle of the night, he insisted that she


    appear immediately. First, he rolled around with her in bed, then whimsically asked her


    to make ate-night snack.


    He couldn’t remember what she had cooked at the time, but it was indeed unptable.


    In his anger, he seemed to have said the words he just heard.


    Five yearster, this woman still remembers it. No, anyone would remember such a

    terrible experience. Seth licked his lips, his face embarrassed. “You… should stop eating


    it.” Before Isabe could respond, he reached out and grabbed her fork.


    Sitting in the chair, Isabe hugged her knees and looked at him with her head tilted.


    “You must also give it your best effort in the future.”


    Why did she say that again? Avoiding her gaze, he cleared his throat. “I will.”


    “That’s the right thing to say.” Isabe patted the table in satisfaction.


    Seth was stunned, then seemed to understand. You must give it your best effort in the


    future… This must be what she wanted to hear, and when she first joined thepany,


    probably no one said that to her. Tsk.


    Seth felt something was off. He had never doubted his work ethic, nor did he feel he


    had wronged her. Yet, suddenly, he was ovee with a sense of guilt. He furrowed


    his brows, turning to the somewhat clueless Isabe. “You… should also give it your


    best effort in the future.”


    Isabe chuckled softly, burying her face between her knees, and mumbled, “I’ve
