Cordelia flashed a sweet smile. “I knew you were hungry, darling!”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
“What do you want to have, honey?”
A multiple-choice question appeared in Zephyr’s mind, but the crux was choosing the correct answer. He thought their housekeeper had been caring for Cordelia’s daily life since she arrived in Melorian, so Betty’s culinary skill must be alright…
“Why don’t we have steak and bun?”
Cordelia stayed quiet, looking at him.
“No, no, I’m the one who wants that!” Zephyr backtracked hastily.
Cordelia was still silent.
“Then… I want spaghetti? Mac and cheese? Fried chicken and fries?”
The shiny pair of eyes across Zephyr blinked, her face still expressionless.
Realization struck the man. “Oh, I know! I want Acian food!”
Cordelia smiled. “What kind?”
It seemed that Zephyr was getting closer to the correct answer! He was thrilled and named everything he could think of.
Soy-sauced meatballs? Acian sausages with vegetables?
Why did it seem like he was getting farther away from the answer the more dishes he named?
Zephyr scratched his head and looked at his wife pleadingly.
Cordelia sighed and rested her chin on her hands. She licked her lips, looking at him in anticipation. “Darling, don’t you feel like having a set meal?”
“Set…” Zephyr’s eyes bulged before he forced an indulging smile. “Honey, how do you know I feel like having it? I crave it so much!”
