Left with no choice, Andrew settled on the sofa, engaging in conversation with Glenn.

“Have some fruit,” Glenn suggested.

“Thanks, but I’ll wait for dinner,” Andrew responded courteously.

Glenn’s smile held a hint of mischief.

It wasn’t long before Andrew realized why Glenn had grinned so knowingly.

When Elaine and Madisyn brought out the meticulously prepared meal, Andrew praised, “I had no idea you were such a fine cook, Mr.

Johns.

“Well, I like to cook when I have some free time, and my family seem to enjoy it.

Try some,” Elaine encouraged warmly.

Andrew took a bite, and his expression froze unexpectedly.

Madisyn glanced at Andrew helplessly, well aware of what had happened.

She had assisted Elaine in the kitchen, but when her back was turned, Elaine had taken the liberty of seasoning the dish.

“How does it taste?” Elaine inquired, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Meanwhile, Glenn casually sipped his juice at the table.

“It’s good,” Andrew said, keeping his expression neutral.

“If you like it, help yourself to more.

Is this the first time you’re trying my cooking?” Elaine asked warmly.

“Yes,” Andrew answered.

“Just Let me know what you like, and I’ll cook them for you,” Elaine said, her voice filled with warmth.

“Thank you, Mr.

Johns.

Madisyn also sampled the dish.

It was rather bland, yet a significant improvement over Elaine’s past culinary attempts-it was at least edible.

Throughout the meal, Elaine continued to heap more food onto everyone’s plates, herself eating sparingly and mostly just enjoying her soup.

Glenn appeared to be eating leisurely, seemingly consuming a lot, but in reality, he barely ate anything.

Andrew now realized why Glenn had recommended having some fruit before the meal-it had indeed been a prudent suggestion.

After they finished eating, Andrew and Glenn took on the task of washing the dishes.

Elaine observed them with a joyful expression.

“It’s wonderful to see the house so lively.

Madisyn, you should have Andrew visit more often if he’s free.

“Okay,” Madisyn responded with a smile.

“Also, Hutton will arrive tomorrow.

Madisyn, would you like to join us at your uncle’s home?” Elaine added.

“Is he going to visit Uncle Rowan’s home?” Madisyn asked.
