Chapter 386
Other people spent money chasing the person they liked
Calvin, on the other hand, was apparently spending his brothers.
Gideon had every reason to suspect that if Calvin ever knelt down and begged Eliza for forgiveness one day, he’d probably have to kneel right
there beside him.
At this hour, the seafood market was already closed, so Calvin ended up buying seafood from a seafood restaurant instead
The way he selected everything looked far too practiced, clearly not the first time he’d done this
Gideon, meanwhile, was having a hard time adjusting to what he was seeing
In his mind, Calvin had always been the pampered young master of the Young family.
A noble son raised in comfort and privilege.
Someone who had staff to take care of every detail of daily life–food, clothing, shelter, transportation.
The sort of child other parents always pointed to as an example. Excellent grades, excellent character, heaven’s favorite.
And people like that were usually the farthest possible thing from mundane domestic life.
Cooking, least of all.
Of course, that had been Calvin’s image before.
But now that Gideon was watching him wash rice, set the congee to boil, clean and prepare the seafood with practiced precision, watching him accurately judge the simmering time and the proportion of seasoning, he was truly stunned.
He stood there in a daze for quite a while, then pointed at the fragrant, clearly delicious seafood congee in the clay pot and asked, “Calv… are you serious? You really know how to cook?”
The aroma alone was enough to make anyone crave it.
Even someone like Gideon, who ate delicacies from land and sea all the time, found his appetite stirred.
Calvin glanced at him blandly, clearly unimpressed by how thoroughly Gideon’s worldview had just been shattered, and replied in an unhurried tone, “What’s the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss?”
He didn’t just know how to make congee. He also knew how to make all kinds of stomach–soothing dishes and soups.
He had learned them specifically from a restaurant.
The same restaurant Eliza used to go to often.
After that great upheaval in his life, he had developed severe insomnia and needed sleeping pills long–term just to barely fall asleep.
Later, after he got together with Eliza, things improved a little.
But he was afraid of becoming addicted to that feeling.
So every time he let himself indulge, he would do everything he could to pull away afterward, deliberately widening the distance between

He assigned in value.
When he had said he would share honor with her someday, he had not been lying.
That had always been part of his plan.
Later on, he began carrying out his revenge plan and deliberately arranged to cross paths with Medea again.
At the welcome party he hosted for Medea, Sadie had spoken up for Eliza and said Eliza had developed serious stomach problems from all th business drinking
That very night, Calvin went to the restaurant and learned how to make stomach–nourishing soup from the chefs there.
Afterward, he gradually learned other nourishing soups too…changing them up constantly for Eliza.
It had taken a long time, but in the end, he really had nursed her stomach back to health.
And later still, when he counted the days and knew he was about to go to prison, he made Sadie learn every single dish Eliza liked to eat.
He was afraid Eliza’s spoiled stomach wouldn’t be able to tolerate other people’s cooking.
Gideon wanted to try the congee, Calvin stopped him at once,
“Order your own takeout.”
“I mean, come on! You made that much. What’s wrong with giving me one bowl? Gideon was practically drooling “Besides, Eliza can’t possibly eat all of it. Just give me a small bowl. Considering I went out with you this late to buy seafood.”
Calvin ignored Gideon’s pathetic complaints entirely and turned the heat down to a low simmer.
By his calculation, if he left at five, the timing would be perfect to bring Eliza the congee,
In the end, Gideon didn’t get even a single spoonful
He resigned himself to eating takeout instead.
While eating, he kept shooting Calvin deeply aggrieved looks.
“Why can’t I eat it?”
“Because you’re not Eliza.”
Gideon: “So Eliza is the only one allowed to eat food you make?”
Calvin’s silence was the answer.
Gideon still refused to give up. “Then has Uncle Young ever eaten food you made?”
Gideon nodded solemnly. “Alright. Balanced*
