I was about to refuse, but the thought of the nauseating instant noodles made me keep quiet.
“You don’t know how to cook, so I’ll handle it.”
Scott grinned and headed to the kitchen.
After years of dating Scott, this was the first time he’d ever set foot in the kitchen. Hannah followed him in, excitedly directing his every move.
The table was set with a feast that looked and smelled incredible. Hannah couldn’t stop praising Scott.
“Scott, you’re amazing! This food is delicious! Don’t you think so, Lillian?”
I gave a neutral nod. “I had no idea he could cook like this!”
Unfortunately, everything on the table was drenched in spice.
Hannah eagerly served Scott a piece of spicy water-boiled beef.
He ate it without a hint of hesitation, nodding approvingly.
I used to be a huge fan of spicy food myself. On my first weekend after moving in, I prepared an entire spread of spicy dishes.
The setup was the same, the water-boiled beef just as fiery.
But as soon as Scott tasted it, he spat it out, scrunching his face.
“This is too spicy! How is anyone supposed to eat this?”
Without a second glance at me or our guests, he stormed off to bed, slamming the door behind him.
