As soon as the dish entered his mouth, and his tongue tasted that flavor, Kai Bright felt as if he had been struck by lightning, leaving him utterly out of sorts. This taste—he’d exhausted all his life’s learning, yet couldn’t find the words to describe it. "Delicious, right?" Charles Seymour’s voice floated over; although his tone was no different from usual, Kai heard the intense murderous intent in those three words, each word cutting like a knife, incredibly sharp. If he dared to say it wasn’t tasty, he reckoned he could be sliced to death. "Delicious." Kai Bright summoned his most honed acting skills from training, displaying a look of surprise and joy, "Sophie, I didn’t expect your first try at cooking to be this good. You truly have a gift." "Really?" Sophie Wilson looked at Kai Bright in surprise. Honestly, when Charles Seymour praised her cooking earlier, she was a bit skeptical. Now that Kai said so, she started to believe it a bit. "Really!" Kai Bright felt no insincerity at all; his clear eyes were full of pure honesty, his words more genuine and pure than gold. "That’s good." Sophie Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, "If you like it, please eat more." Kai Bright’s body stiffened, shivering inside, that taste... But thinking of his safety, Kai Bright still nodded happily in agreement: "Great, I should eat more then." It’s just a dish, after all. During missions in the jungle, he had eaten all sorts of things. Isn’t it just a mixed stew? Kai Bright decided to muster his professional spirit in one word—eat! However, just as his chopsticks were "firmly" reaching out, they were intercepted by Charles Seymour, who looked at him with deep eyes: "This is for Sophie to cook for me." Kai Bright was so touched that tears almost welled up. He had always misunderstood Charles before; in fact, Charles was indeed warm-hearted. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 Look, to spare him further suffering, Charles bore it all himself. Truly a good brother! "Really, my cousin made it, what’s wrong with me having a couple of bites? Don’t be so stingy," Kai Bright grinned as he spoke, continuing to reach with his chopsticks. With Charles being so righteous, how could he leave his good brother to suffer alone? He’ll keep Charles company and eat it together. Good brothers are righteous, sharing troubles, sharing that mixed stew. Kai Bright’s wrist was suddenly pinched by Charles Seymour’s fingers, unable to advance an inch, and Kai looked up in confusion at Charles. Charles reiterated sternly: "This is for Sophie to make for me." After speaking, Charles released Kai’s wrist and seriously continued eating. Charles’s action made Sophie Wilson laugh and she explained to Kai Bright: "Cousin, you can have the dishes, my home chef made those pretty tasty." Kai Bright nodded repeatedly: "Sure, sure." While eating, Kai Bright watched Charles, and nearly poked his chopsticks into his own nostril. Because he discovered something quite alarming. Charles wasn’t just being polite; he genuinely wanted that dish to himself. What kind of possessiveness was this, allowing Charles to eat such a character-filled dish with such happiness? Could it be, this is the power of love? Isn’t this power of love a bit too grand? Watching Charles eat bite after bite with such relish, Kai Bright swallowed hard, suddenly feeling that being single is actually quite good.
