The aroma of the dishes filled the air, making Chloe hungrier than she already was.
It never occurred to her that her husband was a qualified househusband who could cook delicious foods and satisfy her appetite.
Chloe could not help but stretch out her hand while quietly staring with mad lust at the dishes on the table. Finally, she got a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth, chewing it with satisfaction.
She immediately agreed that this taste was more suitable for her.
What she ate in Cynthia's house was from a different world.
Just as she was pilfering, Nolan came out with a tray of fish in his hands. It was the Braised Crucian in brown sauce which was her ultimate favorite.
Overall, the dishes were stewed pork with brown sauce, braised crucian with brown sauce, Mapo tofu, and spicy beef. As for the last dish, Nolan tweaked it a little and transformed it into a green dish.
After all, it was supper, so Nolan made vegetables to prevent indigestion before they went sleep.
Chloe was in a good mood by then and didn't say anything when she saw the vegetables on the table. Instead, she just asked Nolan to sit down.
"Hurry up and take a seat. Just leave the rest to me."
As she said so, she went into the kitchen and took two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks. In addition, she prepared two full bowls of steamed rice.
"Let's eat," Chloe stated with excitement.
She couldn't wait to taste all the delicious dishes. Every single one was making her mouth water.
While she was eating the stewed pork with brown sauce, the spicy beef, and the Mapo tofu, she didn't find anything special about them. She just took each bite with enthusiasm.
But when she reached out her chopsticks for the braised crucian, she paused and then brought the chopsticks back into the spicy beef. For some reason, she had always liked braised crucian in brown sauce.
But somehow, the braised fish only made her feel queasy. Unconsciously, this dish had no appeal on her today.
Nolan didn't notice that. Since the braised crucian was placed in front of him, he thought it was out of Chloe's reach. Thoughtfully, he stretched out his hand and placed some fish in her bowl.
Looking at the fish in her bowl, Chloe thought that her aversion to the dish might be because of some psychological effect. She used to like this dish the most, how could she not like it now?
With these thoughts in mind, she took the crucian with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. However, as soon as she did, she couldn't help but cover her mouth since she felt extremely nauseous.
Taking a few hasty steps back, she covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom.
Her reaction to the dish was beyond Nolan's expectation. Shocked, he just followed her and tried to figure out what was wrong with her.
Inside the toilet, Chloe fell into crazy vomiting. Not knowing why, she just started feeling sick when she was very close to the fish. Moreover, the fishy smell lingering in her mouth only worsened her retch. The only fortunate thing was that there wasn't much vomit coming out.
"What's wrong? Chloe, are you okay?" Within a few moments, Nolan was also in the toilet, patting her on the back.
"I'm all right. Maybe it's because I had light food in Cynthia's house, so I couldn't stand the dish with such a strong taste."
"Then forget them. I'll make you something light."
"No, I want food with strong flavors."
As she spoke, she let go of his hand, turned around, and stepped out of the toilet.
She was quite persistent with the food.
Just as she came near the dinner table, the fishy smell made her sick once again. Subconsciously, she covered her mouth, having the urge to vomit some more.
