A Crazy Wife novel Chapter 68

Half an hour later, Queenie, who changed into civilian clothes, sits across from Hannah.

"Did you make that mung bean soup?"

"Yes."

"Impossible." Queenie says with conviction, staring at Hannah with a burning gaze, as if she wants to see traces of lies on her face, "It can't be that you made it."

"Why couldn't it be?" Hannah pretends to be puzzled, "That's the mung bean I soak, I cook. I even weighed how much icing sugar should be added. I put it in the fridge to chill overnight, only this morning did you take it out and put it in the thermos. By the way, you have to remember to return the thermos to me."

Queenie says tensely, "If you made it, then what do you think is in that mung bean soup?"

"What's so hard about that?" Hannah smiles slightly, "In addition to mung beans, it also has lilies, lotus seeds, pears, coconut milk..."

"No, there's one thing missing, and mung bean soup can't taste like this without something like this."

"Are you talking about green tea?"

Hannah looks relaxed, "After adding green tea, which neutralizes the sweetness of the rock sugar inside the green bean soup, the taste is different."

"How do you know?" Queenie pursues, "Who told you about this practice?"

Hannah is stunned and hesitates for a moment, "You purposely stops me to ask me how to make mung bean soup? It's no secret that it's such a small thing, we can talk over the phone. A friend of mine taught me that."

"A friend of yours? What's her name?"

Queenie asks, even though she knows it is abrupt, but it concerns Sherry, she couldn't care less about anything else, and when she hears that familiar name from Hannah's mouth, she is even more excited.

"I know she did it, where is she now?"

Hearing this, Hannah reveals a hesitant look, "A few months ago, I saw the news that her parents were buried in the sea of fire, Sherry also fell into the sea and dis because of a car accident, this mung bean soup is what she taught me before all that happened, and I haven't seen her for a long time."

The word 'killed' strikes in Queenie's eardrums, her eyes that had found hope so easily suddenly dims. Feeling lost, she murmurs.

"It is before, huh?"

Hannah notices her sadness, and she feels so bad for her that she wants to tell her everything right now, all the causes and consequences.

But she couldn't, Queenie's is impulsive, once she told her the truth of the matter, she is afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold the secret back. It would be a huge loss if she were to startle the snake.

"Madam, your strawberry smoothie."

The waiter comes over to bring up the other drink she ordered earlier.

"People can't come back from the dead, Sherry is such a cheerful person, if she knew her death made her best friend so sad, she wouldn't feel at ease in heaven." Hannah pushes the strawberry smoothie in front of her, "Eat something sweet, you'll feel better."

When she saw the strawberry smoothie, Queenie looks stunned again.

"You and Sherry really know each other? I haven't even heard her speak of you."

"I did hear her talk about you," said Hannah, with easy grace.
