Lewis had a suitcase he specifically used for business trips. There were a few sets of clothes inside and some daily necessities. He always put this suitcase in his car, so he could leave at any time for any last-minute business trips.
Now, this suitcase was serving its purpose.
Larissa arranged for Lewis to stay in another guest room. It was just next door to Wendy's. Wendy had met Lewis a few times. Although they were not "familiar" with each other, they were not complete strangers either.
Wendy had nothing against Lewis coming. She also did not think that her life would be impacted as well. After all, Lewis and Larissa usually left early and came home late. They spent very little time with her at home.
"Have you guys had dinner?" Wendy asked Lewis and Larissa before Lewis entered the guest room to clear it up for himself.
Lewis and Larissa had worked overtime and had just gotten home now. They had no time to eat at all.
"Is there anything else left to eat here?" Larissa had not felt hungry until Wendy asked her that.
She did feel a little hungry.
"Nothing ready-made. If you want to eat, I'll cook some pasta or lasagna for you both?"
The caretaker Larissa hired was only in charge of Wendy's daily meals.
She usually did not make extra food.
Thankfully, the apartment had plenty of convenient foods that Larissa stockpiled on, so they would not go hungry.
"No need for me." Lewis politely refused. He took his suitcase and entered the room. The door closed in Larissa and Wendy's face.
Wendy stuck out her tongue. After they had walked far away, she only complained quietly to Larissa. "Your cousin is so cold! Previously when he came to have our steak dinner, he seemed rather friendly. Why did he change so much after only a short time?"
