Chapter 738: Just added vitamins
Even though Zoren could keep a straight face while eating Penny’s cooking, he couldn’t keep it up for long. He was sweating, and his complexion steadily paled, revealing his discomfort. However, Atlas was different.
Since Atlas had arrived very early, he was already eating by the time Penny called everyone for breakfast.
"Since today is a big day for everyone, I prepared this little breakfast to boost your strength and energy!" Penny announced cheerfully, gathering everyone around. "I’m sure you’ll all be very busy today, so eat well!"
Atlas raised his brows, holding his fork as he noticed his plate was already half-finished. He glanced at everyone, squinting as he noticed their aghast expressions. They all stared at their plates with horror, reluctance evident in their eyes.
’Why are they looking at the food as if it were poison?’he wondered, unable to understand their reactions. ’The food is good, even for a picky eater like me.’
Was the food Penny prepared last night a new dish that she might have messed up a bit? That was the only explanation Atlas could come up with.
Atlas took a spoonful and ate it, noticing that everyone was watching him. "It’s good," he encouraged. "You should eat it since Penny prepared it out of the goodness of her heart."
"Don’t be shy," Penny chuckled playfully before turning to her husband. "Renren, come on, eat up. It’s very special."
Zoren smiled and nodded at her, but didn’t say anything further. Instead, he cleared his throat and picked up his cutlery, bracing himself. In his mind, he told himself he would eventually get used to it.
Meanwhile, everyone else was looking at Atlas in disbelief. They were concerned about Zoren, but they couldn’t believe Atlas and his betrayal.
’How can he eat this food?’they wondered. ’It doesn’t even look like he’s forcing it.’
Unlike Zoren, Atlas seemed to be genuinely enjoying the food. At this point, they could only assume that Atlas’s taste buds were as unusual as Penny’s. Unless he had no sense of taste, that might explain it. But Slater, who was sitting beside Atlas and knew how picky his First Brother was, found it especially confusing.
