The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 158

The minds of geniuses really were wired differently from ordinary people.

Just then.

Felix dropped a piece of sticky rice cake onto Jasmine's plate.

"The pastries here are insanely good," he whispered.

Snapped out of her thoughts, Jasmine shook her head. "I can't."

"Didn't you skip breakfast?"

"I skipped it because my stomach issues flared up yesterday."

"You can't eat when you have a stomachache?"

"I need something light and easy to digest."

"This rice cake is light."

"It's made of glutinous rice."

"What's wrong with glutinous rice?"

"It's heavy on the stomach."

Penelope stared in disbelief.

Listening to this exchange was making her blood boil.

Where was Jasmine finding the patience to answer every single one of his moronic questions?

Why hadn't she just slapped him to shut him up?

Penelope glared at Felix. "Can you try acting like a normal human being?"

Felix looked genuinely confused. "What did I say wrong?"

"Do you have zero common sense?" Penelope snapped.

"What's wrong with not knowing glutinous rice is hard to digest?" Felix looked past his mother to Julian, who was seated at the far end. "Julian, did you know it was hard to digest?"

Julian was silent.

He genuinely didn't know.

"Your brother's brain is ninety-nine percent work," Penelope said dryly. "It's normal for him not to know. You cook for yourself all the time. It is not normal for you."

"Double standards," Felix muttered.

"Excuse me?" Penelope narrowed her eyes.

Jasmine stayed perfectly quiet.

Eventually, ignoring Mr. Smith's frantic protests, Howard forced Yates to publish the clarification video.

The video thoroughly outlined the exact reasons for the cancellation.

Valery's name was never explicitly mentioned.
