Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1634

Chapter 1634

The contents of the lunch box produced an aromatic smell that managed to seep out of it while remaining closed.

For some reason she could not quite put her finger on it, Sherry could not find the appetite to eat although she would have killed for even a bite of food several days ago.

Upon noticing her reluctance, Carl assumed that she was too tired to even open the box. He diligently pried off the lid for her.

It was a delicately packed lunch box with a wide assortment of dishes ranging from braised chicken feet, pork belly, chicken wings, and more delicacies.

Marbles of fat glistened underneath the light, demanding to be eaten while it was still hot.

Sherry glanced at the food with a blank expression and hesitated to make a move.

Carl frowned and tried to hide his discontent. “What’s with that look? I waited in line for half an hour to buy this for you. Won’t you have a bite?”

Sherry nodded weakly and grunted.

Carl remained silent.

His expression darkened for a slight moment as he shifted his hand toward the box and looked like he was going to take it away.

Sherry suddenly reached for the plastic glove that came with the lunch box.

Carl stuttered.

He watched as Sherry picked up a piece of pork rib and took a bite out of it.

His expression softened, and he slid a chair across Sherry and remarked with a smile, “What, I thought you didn’t want to eat?”

Sherry answered curtly, “I don’t want the food to go to waste.”

She of all people would know why one should not waste food.

God knew how desperately she craved food when she was locked up in that house.

Carl remarked sarcastically, “Sherry, you sure are hard to take care of, you know that?”

Sherry ignored his sarcastic remark.

She was not in the mood to banter with the man as she was hardly in the mood to talk at all.

Carl immediately sensed her darkening mood and let it slide. “You know what, I’ll tolerate you just this one time.”

Glanchester.

Morning came, the rain stopped at last and the sun rose above the horizon.
