"Oh? You don't mind it?" Hera deliberately ridiculed Bernard.
Bernard snorted. "Do you think I'm a fool? You tried playing hard to get. Now, you're using reverse psychology on me. Aren't you just trying to make me stay?"
"Not bad. You could tell what I was doing," said Hera. She wasn't embarrassed about being exposed in front of everyone.
At this time, Dora had already left her seat and went to grab a set of cutlery as well as a plate. She handed them to Bernard. "Mr. Handsome, feel free to eat whatever you want. Have a taste of my mommy's cooking. I guarantee you that you'll want to eat it again after trying it once."
Bernard glanced at the dishes on the table. The food seemed nice, but it had all been touched by someone else. He didn't like that. "I need to eat other people's leftovers?"
Dylan, who was sitting next to Dora, saw that Bernard was disgusted. He typed in the notes app of his phone, "Fussy, picky, and arrogant."
Hera knew that Bernard wouldn't want leftovers. So, she got up and went to the kitchen. There was still soup brewing in the pot. She put noodles into the soup. A while later, a bowl of chicken noodle soup was placed in front of Bernard.
Bernard's eyes lit up. It seemed that Hera had put in some effort. She even knew that he liked to eat chicken noodle soup.
He didn't know when he started liking chicken noodle soup. There seemed to be a chicken noodle soup he found to be delicious in his memory, but after tasting many chicken noodle soups, none of them had the taste of the one in his memory.
Bernard took a sip of the soup. It was very fresh, and the taste was familiar as well. It was the taste he wanted! He raised his head. "Who did you learn to cook this from?"
"I learned it from my grandmother," answered Hera. But she modified the recipe a little and added more herbs.
"Is she—"
"Hera, there's a patient outside who needs you." At this time, Isla entered and interrupted Bernard.
