"It seems like she's okay with letting her parents do all the hard work but can't handle any herself." Nathalie, having successfully stirred the pot, carried a bowl the size of a basin out of the kitchen.
Once Miranda snapped out of her gloomy mood and opened the fridge, she realized it was nearly empty. She wanted to give Nathalie a piece of her mind, but Nathalie had already vanished.
Nathalie waltzed into the dining room with the massive bowl, filling the air with a mouth-watering aroma. Cameron and Greta, seeing the huge bowl of spaghetti, thought Nathalie had decided to be generous and made some for them too. They walked over, only to watch her set the bowl on the coffee table and, like a magician, whip out a fork and start eating.
Greta was dumbfounded. "Can you really eat all that?"
Nathalie shrugged. "Whatever I can't finish, I'll give to the dog."
Greta and Cameron immediately lost their appetite. They turned away, avoiding the sight of the spaghetti Nathalie was devouring.
Their stomachs eventually started growling, and that was when Miranda awkwardly emerged with a tray carrying a few plates and bowls. The dishes were bland. She had made overcooked vegetables with a few bowls of plain white rice.
"Mom, is this all you made after all that time?" Greta sneered at Miranda's cooking.
Already worn out, Miranda replied, weary-eyed, "If you don't like what I've made, you can cook the next meal yourself."
Greta pouted but kept quiet. The meal was dull and uneventful.
Not only were they still hungry, but to make matters worse, Greta ended up with an unexpected bout of diarrhea afterward. She turned to Miranda and said, "Mom, what did you put in the food? Why am I the only one with an upset stomach?"
Miranda, feeling wronged, said, "It's probably your delicate stomach. We all ate the same thing and are fine. How is this my fault?"
Tears rolled down Greta's face. "My weak stomach... Didn't you make me like this?"
