The refrigerator was fully stocked with ingredients.
Karina quickly prepared a plate of candied sweet potatoes and told Nicola to eat them while they were hot.
Nicola ate with a look of pure satisfaction on her face.
“Noah, have you eaten? Should I cook a few more dishes so we can eat together?” Karina asked her husband cautiously.
“I’ve already eaten,” Noah said coolly, then asked, “You went to your parents' house today?”
“Yes. My mom accidentally fell down the stairs and hurt her leg, so I went to check on her.” Karina’s excuse was flawless.
Noah nodded. “Is it serious? Which hospital is she in? I’ll go visit her tomorrow.”
“No, that’s not necessary,” Karina said, shaking her head hastily. “It’s just a minor sprain, she’s resting at home. You’re busy with work, you don’t need to make a special trip.”
Noah genuinely was concerned about Karina's mother and wanted to visit. But seeing Karina’s flustered reaction, he knew she was lying again.
However, Noah couldn't be bothered to pursue it. He didn't ask another question and simply turned and went to his room.
…
Yvonne drove Bennett back to Cherry Bay. When they arrived, Helen was downstairs walking Bullet.
Seeing his owners return, Bullet got so excited that he broke free from his leash and bounded over to Bennett and Yvonne, circling them playfully.
“Alright, settle down. Let's go home,” Bennett said, patting Bullet's large head before taking the leash and leading him upstairs.
Helen knew they would be eating out tonight, so she hadn't prepared dinner, but she had made a fruit compote.
Yvonne had half a bowl of the compote before going to her room to get ready for bed.
