Timothy didn't cook at home often, so the refrigerator was sparsely stocked.
Theodore made spaghetti. When he brought them to the table, Julian's eyes went wide with shock.
"Dad, I thought you didn't know how to cook."
Theodore handed him a set of utensils. "Did I ever say I couldn't?"
"But you've never cooked for me."
"You've never gone hungry."
Julian took a deep breath and consoled himself: Dad is so busy, it's understandable he doesn't have time to cook for me. Besides, he's never cooked for anyone else.
"After all these years, has your cooking not improved at all?" Penelope said it casually, but she immediately regretted it, especially when she felt several sharp glares directed at her.
"You've eaten my dad's cooking before?" Julian raised an eyebrow.
"Mom, did you and Mr. Stapleton know each other before?" Hubert asked, his eyes wide.
"Penelope, did he used to make you that a lot?" Kristin's mouth fell open.
Theodore's face darkened as he stirred the spaghetti. "If you don't want to eat, then don't."
A wave of resentment washed over Penelope. In the past, if she had said she didn't like something, Theodore would have immediately gone back to the kitchen to make her something else.
She took a deep breath, telling herself not to be so dramatic. She lowered her head and took a large bite, only to get a mouthful of scallion.
She didn't eat scallions…
Had he forgotten?
She couldn't help but gag, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Hubert quickly poured his mom a glass of water and then peered into her bowl.
"My mom doesn't eat scallions!"
Julian pursed his lips. "How was my dad supposed to know?"
"Your dad made my mom cry!"
"Then your mom shouldn't eat my dad's food!"
"This is my house! We don't want you here!" Hubert yelled, jumping onto his chair.
"This is my uncle's house! You're the ones who should leave!"
