Everleigh understood this, too. She simply couldn't stand to stay in the ward anymore.
Everyone came when it was time for her to be discharged from the hospital. She didn't have a lot of belongings with her to begin with, but now that there were more people, it felt to her like things just kept adding up.
They went back to the Trevino family home. Leon and Selena did not come over; instead, they prepared meals at home to entertain them.
Cecil and Alexander noticed Leon in the kitchen. She sat on the couch and said dismissively, "Surely, that is the face of true love. Back then, Leon never cooked for me."
"It's not like you ate them anyway," Everleigh said nonchalantly. It wasn't that he never cooked before, but his cooking was atrocious. The appearance alone made it one feel that it would be difficult to eat it.
Cecil was even more disgusted.
Hearing this, Alexander's eyes flashed. "Then I'll cook for you."
"Do you know how to cook?"
"l can learn."
Saniogo, Abraham, and Missha were all seated at the side, listening to the youngsters' conversation.
Christopher and Erine chose to be silent. Why? Because Christopher and Everleigh were the same; he couldn't blend in with the world in the kitchen.
However, Cecil did not intend to let him go. "Erine, you should ask your beau to cook for you. It is not shameful for men to cook for women; it is love with a capital L."
Theodore sat on the other side, not really interested in their conversation. He could cook, and although it wasn't that good, at least it was not terrible.
Everleigh didn't want to get involved either. After all, Theodore was already willing to cook for her.
That was enough.
"It's time to eat." Selena was wearing a Hello Kitty apron, while Leon was Doraemon.
Both of them were wearing matching 'cat styles'.
"D*mn, your aprons are freaking cute." Brine looked at them and laughed out loud.
Selena blushed. "He bought it last time and said it's lovely."
"Well, I don't know about the 'lovely' part, but the 'love' part is there," Cecil said loudly.
lt was so funny that everyone burst out laughing.
Leon walked out with a spoon. He pointed at Cecil and said, "If you're still bullying her, you can go and eat outside."
"Excuse you, driving out the guests, are you?" Cecil raised her eyebrows at him for wanting to drive her away.
"Okay, okay, I'm starving already. Let's eat, everyone," Everleigh spoke up to mediate the dispute and told them to stop causing trouble.
The group sat at the table and looked at the dishes. They had the feeling of attending a banquet. "Leon, have you been going to cooking classes?"
"You could say that," he responded proudly. After all, his cooking skills had skyrocketed.
Everyone tried a bite. One must say that Leon's cooking was really delicious. This also managed to spur Alexander and Christopher. Come rain or shine, they had to learn to cook.
During the lunch break, Everleigh and Theodore went back to their rooms. The rest of the group was either playing poker or going to the garden to lounge about.
She sat in front of her desk and watched the four people who were frolicking in the garden.
The atmosphere wouldn't be awkward as long as Cecil and Christopher were there.
"If you want to join them, I'll go with you."
"No, this is fine," she chuckled.
She was a bit tired, and she could only watch them play.
"If you're tired, then rest. I'm here." Theodore's deep voice was filled with charm, not unlike the sounds from Heaven.
