Chapter 27: Getting divorced while the Civil Affairs Bureau is still open
Nia Mitchell kept grumbling, pouting and complaining non-stop.
However, her complaints were silenced by Maxwell Peary with... a silent stare.
The kitchen was shrouded in steam. Maxwell stood to one side, dropping noodles into boiling water. After watching for a while, Nia secretly took one of the tomatoes Maxwell had washed and set aside, biting into it raw.
"MMM... this is really delicious. Uncle Peary, your tomatoes are exceptionally sweet."
She appraised it as she ate, then casually opened the refrigerator for a peek.
"Uncle Peary, your place has so little ready-to-eat food. Who has the energy to cook when they’re starving?"
She didn’t know how to cook either...
And Maxwell didn’t know how to cook, except for... boiling noodles.
Seeing Maxwell cutting tomatoes, she reached out and pinched another piece, tossing it into her mouth.
