He turned to look at Susan. “Next time, go easy on the salt. The children can’t take anything too salty.”
Susan was puzzled as to how salty it was. When she made the spaghetti, she didn’t even add any salt.
She tasted it herself. “This isn’t salty at all.”
“Ms. Susan, your taste buds are off. We can’t even stomach this. Next time, just leave the cooking to the chef.”
“That’s right. Just let the chef handle it so that we won’t waste any food.”
Just when Kyle finished speaking, Evan sighed and instructed the maids to prepare a fresh round of breakfast. He then stood up and left the dining table.
When Susan saw that Evan didn’t even taste the food that she painstakingly prepared, she couldn’t help but feel outraged. All she got in return for her wasted effort was harsh criticism and contempt.
Suppressing the fury within her, she pulled Evan’s plate over and tried the food for herself. The next moment, she, too, spat it out.
“I didn’t add any salt at all. Why is Evan’s spaghetti so…”
She turned to look at the four children. However, Juan and Kyle averted their gaze and stared at the ceiling instead. They pretended as if it had nothing to do with them.
Nina, on the other hand, gave her the side-eye with her arms folded. She looked as if she was gloating at what had just happened.
As for Maya, she was licking her lips hungrily as she stared at the spaghetti. As her eyes flashed with desperation, her stomach growled in hunger.
She picked up her fork and started to devour the meatballs after mixing them into her spaghetti.
Susan furrowed her eyebrows as she pulled over Maya’s plate. After giving it a try, she realized it wasn’t salty at all.
Damn it, how dare they make a fool of me in front of Evan. They have wasted all my effort!
She curled her lips into a smirk. “Maya, stop eating. You can continue later. By the way, your hair seems to be in a mess. Come, darling, let me help you comb it.”
Maya pondered a moment before nodding.
After jumping down from the chair, she was carried by Susan into her room upstairs.
