"Yeah. I do most of the cooking, so that's an aroma I'm familiar with," Sam answered.
Benjamin commented, "That's eccentric of Waylon. He invented a weird drug, only to add a strange smell to it."
"Yeah. The thick smell of common seasoning reminds me of my mom."
"Alright. I'll let Waylon know. He didn't believe me when I told him," Benjamin said.
Sam gave a nod. Prior to hanging up, she uttered, "Okay. Mr. Benjamin, don't try to swoop in and take Ms. Louise away. It's indecent to do that."
Benjamin was lost for words.
It was a great opportunity.
Benjamin was confident that Emmeline would fall in love with him so long as her feelings for Abel were no more.
He was the only person in the whole of Struyria who could compete with Abel.
Sam nervously said, "Why aren't you talking, Mr. Benjamin? Don't get any ideas!"
"I know. What do you take me for? Am I that type of person?" Benjamin questioned.
Once the call ended, Benjamin rang Waylon back.
"Waylon, Abel is now in love with Emma, but Emma didn't hear him say it, so she took the Worryfree drug. Sam said it smelled like paprika. Why must you add such a weird smell for a drug?"
Waylon fell silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Is this a time to laugh, Waylon? How can you make light of the situation?" Benjamin was furious.
Waylon replied, "Here's the thing. Can you ask Sam to check whether she has the smoked paprika seasoning in the kitchen? If she has none, I can mail a few bottles over."
He then gleefully terminated the call.
Benjamin held the phone with a blank expression.
Did Waylon just tell him to check with Sam whether they had smoked paprika seasoning in the kitchen?
Apparently, Waylon was happy to deliver some bottles if there were none.
What did he mean by that?
It then dawned on Benjamin.
"Hold Abel and Emma until my return. I'm taking a quick trip to Nightfall," Benjamin told Janie.
While Janie was confused, she did as she was told.
"Oh, okay. Hurry back. I don't know how long I can stall Emma."
