Alex says, “you weren’t here, so we ordered delivery ourselves. If you don’t like the food, we can go out to eat.”
“OK!”
Miya readily agrees. At the same time she walks up to the table. After all, they can’t waste it. She’s not picky now.
Of course, Miya does not forget to help Ben unload his schoolbag and let him sit on the table.
“Mommy, even if the dishes are not delicious, we won’t blame you!” Joey complains as soon as she sees Miya coming.
Miya suddenly freezes. She frowns and looks at Joey and asks, “what are you talking about?”
Miya doesn’t seem to know what she did wrong. Joey decides to talk to her and make her realize her mistake. “Mommy, you destroyed the ingredients. Why did you say that the servant didn’t buy food?”
“Is there anything in the fridge?”
Miya hasn’t cooked for a long time. Her stomach grows bigger and bigger. She suddenly wanted to cook today, but she saw that the fridge was empty.
“Of course, ma’am.” The servant says, “I have always been upright. I will never steal the money.”
Miya thinks she doesn’t mean that!
“Maybe you are too tired. Anyway, we have ordered delivery. Forget it.” Alex holds Miya in his arms again.
Miya is confused but nods, “maybe I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
The servant hears Miya’s apology and is immediately embarrassed. “It’s OK.”
All in all, the farce is over. The happy family will never think of a pair of eyes staring at them all the time in the house where they have lived for a long time.
Miya is a little hungry at the moment, but the delivery guys haven’t come. When she sees there are several dishes on the table that look good, she suddenly smiles, “there are dishes here. Why don’t you eat?” She picks up the chopsticks and tastes them.
Alex pushes away Miya’s chopsticks in time to prevent Miya from eating.
“What are you doing?” Miya looks at the dishes and is confused. She’s really hungry.
Others listen to Miya and don’t understand. She cooked these dishes. Doesn’t she know they are not good to eat?
Ben just came back so he is as confused as Miya.
Alex listens to Miya’s question and mistakenly thinks that she doesn’t know that her cooking is not delicious. He can’t let Miya, who is so fond of cooking, lose faith, so he says, “there’s dust on them. Now they are not clean.”
“All right.” Miya is disappointed.
Fortunately, the delivery guys come in time, and their disappointment doesn’t last long.
All the children except for Ben agree that Miya is weird, but they don’t know what is weird about Miya.
Ben is unhappy and seems to have something on his mind.
But no one cares about him. The children do their homework after dinner. Alex goes to the study to sort out the data needed by the company, and Miya goes to Ben’s room with a snack.
