The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 139

Chapter 0139 

  

Linda took the eggs off the stove too soon. I wondered if they had fully solidified. When she cracked 

them on a bowl, however, the whites of the eggs, at least, seemed whole. Yet when she cut them in half

to remove the yokes, the yellow yoke was slimy

She didn’t seem to mind and poured them into a bowl anyway. A bold choice

Nathan leaned closer, peering into the bowl. Does that look right?” 

Linda nodded. I cook the eggs shorter than necessary so the yellow bit comes out better. It makes it 

easier to mix too.” 

To me, Julian said, I wonder who they are going to get to taste test this, because not it.” 

I really hoped it wasn’t me, either

Nathan leaned back. His face crumpled like he wanted to correct her, but ultimately, he decided to stay 

neutral

Linda then mixed the other ingredients in with the eggs and began to stir. She lifted an egg half to add 

the mixture, when the egg sl*pped down onto the ground

Sl*ppery little things, aren’t they?Linda said, laughing though it sounded nervous

She reached down, picked up the egg, and returned it to the plate

Everyone in the room went very quiet 

Linda continued adding the mixture to that egg, like nothing had just happened

Nathan leaned forward again. Linda. Did you see any problem with adding that specific egg back to the 

plate?” 

She blinked at him in obvious confusion. Accidents happen. I’m sure the floor is regularly cleaned.” 

Nathan frowned. Do you ever spend time in the kitchens at home?” 

Her brow furrowed. Sometimes,she said, but her eyes shifted as she spoke. She was clearly lying

Nicholas stepped into the center of the room. That’s enough. I believe this experiment has proven my 

case

Grumbling, Joseph pushed off from the wall and stormed out of the room. I stepped back just in time to narrowly avoid being shouldered by him

Sore loser, Jullan said

don’t understand,Linda said. What did I do wrong?” 

Someone should have been supervising the girls when they cooked,Nicholas said to Nathan, If we do another cooking challenge, please see to it.” 

Nathan bowed. A horrible oversight on my part. I beg forgiveness, Your Royal Highness.” 

Nicholas nodded

Someone explain to me what is going on,Linda said, voice rising in panic or anger or both

Julian smirked. You blew it, Linda. Not only did you undercook the eggs, but you even dropped one on the ground, then returned it to the table. Admit it, you’ve never even been into a kitchen before in your life.” 

I’ve been in one!she announced loudly

Julian smiled wider. She’d taken his bait and proven that, though she’d been in a kitchen, she had not been in one to cook. Very likely, she had never cooked in her entire life. Likely, she hadn’t seen anyone else do so either, or she would know not to pick things up off the floor

Everyone in the room watched her with pitiful eyes, except those few who were laughing

Yet Linda sought me out in her ire
