After her alarm clock rang, Larissa went to the next room to wake Aster up as usual.
When she walked out of her bedroom, she was surprised to see both Aster and Kevan fully dressed, sitting side by side in the dining room.
"Mommy, come and have breakfast! Uncle Kevan made it! It's really delicious!" Aster waved at her excitedly.
Larissa walked over doubtfully.
Kevan had made a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, and pasta.
Larissa had bought the pasta a long time ago and placed it in one of the cabinets, completely forgetting about its existence.
Kevan had cooked the pasta and mixed it up with some black pepper sauce.
As the enticing aroma of food filled the air, Larissa couldn't help swallowing her saliva eagerly.
She sat down across from Aster and picked up the cutlery on the table.
"Thank you for your hard work. You're unwell, and yet you went through the trouble of cooking breakfast for us," she said with an apologetic look at Kevan.
"Just consider it payment for letting me stay here for two nights." Kevan smiled and gestured to the plate in front of her. "Take a bite."
Larissa had witnessed his culinary skills during the time they lived together. He was pretty good at cooking.
However, she hadn't expected that even after losing his memories, he still retained his cooking skills.
"It's delicious," she concluded after taking a bite.
"See!" Aster said proudly, as if she had just praised him.
Larissa rolled her eyes at him, but Aster didn't seem to notice her annoyance.
Aster turned to Kevan with an expectant look. "Uncle Kevan, can you come over more often to cook for us? Your cooking is super delicious! They are the best dishes I've ever had!"
Larissa couldn't help feeling disgruntled by Aster's effusive praise of Kevan's cooking. For the past few days, she had been trying her best to cook new dishes for Aster.
Before getting off work, Larissa was already thinking of what groceries to buy for dinner, so much so that she had started losing more hair.
In the end, all her effort was nothing in comparison to Kevan, who had just prepared one breakfast for him.
