Evan’s lips curled. In the past, Kyle always insisted on having food that was made by Nicole. Now, he was eating everything. It seemed like the boy was really hungry.
“Is it? Let me have a try.”
Evan sat down and picked up his utensils, looking at the braised beef in front of him.
After peeking a glance at Evan, Juan snickered under his breath.
Go on, eat it. Once you eat it, you’ll remember its taste for the rest of your life.
Evan placed the beef into his mouth and chewed. Suddenly, he frowned.
What is this taste?
It’s salty, sweet, pungent, and spicy all at the same time. It’s a mess!
In the next second, he spat out the beef and gargled his mouth with water from his cup. However, he had only taken a small sip of the water before he spat it out as well.
Even the water tastes weird!
Standing up, he rushed toward the living room to pour the contents of the teapot into his mouth. Lo and behold, even the tea…
A deep frown was seared onto Blake’s face as he watched Evan’s actions.
He walked swiftly toward the man and asked, “Mr. Seet, what’s wrong?”
“Water. I need clean water.”
At the sight of Evan’s discomfort, Blake hurriedly poured a glass of water for him.
“Mr. Seet, here.”
Evan looked at the glass of water in Blake’s hands as though it was his savior. He hastily grabbed it and gargled his mouth before spitting it out.
“Get me another glass.”
Blake was speechless.
He was also confused. Is lunch so terrible?
After drinking a few glasses of water, the odd taste in Evan’s tongue finally washed away. He then looked at Blake with fury in his eyes.
“Where’s the chef?” I’m going to make him finish the plate of beef himself!
Blake realized that things had turned sour with the way Evan seemed to fume. He quickly did as instructed. “I’ll go get him right away, Mr. Seet.”
The chef entered the dining room and took a look at the beef on the table before looking at Evan. “Mr. Seet, is there a problem with the beef?”
Evan narrowed his eyes and ordered, “Eat it.”
Eat it?
