Chapter 295 Dont Be Double-faced (1/2)

”Only God knows what goes on in this madman's mind. Perhaps he will cook up an unpalatable breakfast,” Rita taunted David, as she glanced at him with mischief.

David, however, didn't feel embarrassed at all. He gently placed the hot pot on the table.

Emily and Rita looked at the pot and found chopped herb-medicines and vegetables in the porridge. They were all minced meticulously so that the two women could not make out what kind of herb-medicines and vegetables there were in the pot. The unpleasant smell of the medicine in the porridge eventually spread out in the dinning room.

Now, Emily was ready to believe what Rita was saying about David's cooking. Not only did the dish not look appetizing at all, even the porridge seemed a bit burnt. Emily felt hopeless, and yet she optimistically convinced herself that may be the porridge would make up for its unappealing smell with its surprisingly good taste...

”What the hell is that?” Rita exclaimed with a disgusted expression on her face.

David sighed and rubbed his nose. Even he couldn't help admitting to himself that the porridge in the pot could hardly be presented as food. ”You told me that you've been suffering from menstrual cramps recently. So I consulted an old herbalist doctor and got this herbal prescription from him. This pot of porridge was cooked according to the prescription. Regardless of how it looks, this herbal porridge will do good to your health,” he explained.

”Are you sure it will do good to my health? I think I will probably suffer a serious case of food poisoning after I eat it,” Rita answered, as she covered her nose with her hands.

David quickly replied, ”It's safe to eat. Really. I've tasted it.”

David's interaction with Rita was so entertaining that Emily could not help but burst into laughter. The depressive thoughts of Jacob gradually faded away from her mind in this fun-filled, loving atmosphere.

Under David's expectant gaze, Rita reached out to fill the bowl with porridge, with a doubtful expression on her face, before tasting it...

”Well, what do you think?” he asked. David, who had never cooked anything in his life before, looked like a student waiting for his homework to be evaluated by his teacher.

Rita's face turned green, and even though she did not speak, she frowned at him with an obvious expression of disgust on her face. She couldn't even find the words to describe the taste of the porridge.

On the other hand, Rita's lack of consideration, upset David, as it was a severe blow to his pride and confidence.

Disheartened, David wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but since the seats beside Rita were already taken by Emily and Dylan, he had no choice but to sit right across Rita.
