Chapter 464
Kenneth momentarily thought about Melvin; he didn't have a deep impression of him. As one of the four prominent wealthy families in Hardgrad, the Spencer family was the most low-key, and Melvin also kept a low profile. He only appeared when Arabella returned to Hardgrad for the first time, giving off a somewhat elusive and mysterious feeling.
Kenneth realized that he had been neglecting this person. Melvin had always been around and played an essential role in the incident.
Handing the Habs' Bowl to Arabella, Kenneth asked, "I heard that you and Melvin grew up together. You are childhood sweethearts?"
"Yes, my mom liked Melvin. He was my mom's last apprentice."
"Your mom?" Something flashed in Kenneth's deep narrow eyes. He realized he had never asked about her mom before, and she had never mentioned it.
Arabella wanted to say something, but at that moment, Alma walked in with a smile. "Ms. Snyder, I heard you wanted to eat noodles today. I just ground some flour and will make elbow macaroni for you."
"Alma," Arabella quickly took Alma's arm, feeling embarrassed, and blinked. "You don't have to go to so much trouble. I already bought ready-made noodles.
Alma lovingly scolded, "Those noodles aren't as tasty. I will make you elbow macaroni."
Alma poured the freshly ground top-quality flour into a bowl and added milk, eggs, and a little water to make elbow macaroni.
In no time, Alma skillfully made a plate of handmade macaroni.
Kenneth glanced at Alma. If he wasn't mistaken, Alma was not just an ordinary star-level chef; she seemed to be one of those highly paid private chefs hired by noble families.
"Wow, Alma, it's been so long since I last saw you cook. Your skills have improved. Every time you cook for me, I don't need to do anything." Arabella complimented.
Alma quickly prepared a sauce for the elbow macaroni, and the fragrance of the spice was so enticing that one could feel like having several bowls of it just from the smell.
"Ms. Snyder, I didn't do anything. You cooked the macaroni yourself."
