A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Cherish ignored Carlos' attitude and called after him with a smile, "Then I'll prepare the dishes I made the day before yesterday."

Carlos stopped midway up the stairs. He grabbed onto the handrail hard enough for his knuckles to turn white. "Just give it a rest, Cherish," he said through clenched teeth.

He did not want Cherish running around the kitchen.

Cherish was stunned. She then asked, "Why? Don't you like my cooking?

But your appetite has been good lately."

She did not sound argumentative. She looked at him with inquisitive and sincere eyes.

Carlos blinked, keeping his face neutral despite feeling a little annoyed. "It doesn't matter whether I like your cooking or not. The point is that you don't have to try so hard."

"Well, I want to," Cherish snapped. She put her hands on her hips and added, "I came here to take care of you, and if taking care of you means doing some housework, then I'll do it. If you can eat the food prepared by the cooks, you can eat the food I prepared."

If Carlos dared to snap back at her, she would charge at him and break his leg.

At this point, she no longer cared if Carlos did not want her to try. She would take care of him because she loved him like a drunk loved wine.

A little startled by the change in Cherish's attitude, Carlos simply nodded and said, "Fine."

He then proceeded to his room without looking back.

As soon as Carlos disappeared to his room, tears welled up in Cherish's eyes. "That bastard! He can really make anyone feel bad without even trying!" she muttered.

She was so angry that she stomped all the way to the kitchen and prepared a nutritious soup to make him feel guilty.
