Wilfred ended up eating two full bowls without realizing it.

Only when he couldn't take another bite did he put his spoon down and wipe his mouth. "The porridge is well made," he remarked.

The housekeeper chuckled. "It's all thanks to Miss Karina's idea. And to think I'm a certified nutritionist, but I didn't come up with something like this. It's a good thing she was here today!"

Karina smiled sheepishly. "It's just something I learned growing up in a regular household. We didn't have much, and when I didn't have an appetite as a kid, I'd make this porridge for myself. I'd always end up eating a lot. So, I figured it might work this time too. I'm glad it turned out well."

The housekeeper insisted she was being modest, showering Karina with praise.

Wilfred, watching the simple yet thoughtful meal on the table, felt a rare warmth in his chest. It might not compare to a five-star meal, but knowing that every bite was made with care, specifically for him, made it more satisfying than anything else. "Thank you," Wilfred said, his voice sincere.

Karina blinked, caught off guard for a moment, before waving it off. "I just did a small thing. It's nothing to thank me for."

In her mind, everything she had done still paled in comparison to how much Wilfred had helped her.

But Wilfred took this moment to heart. Though he said nothing more, he had already decided that he would do everything in his power to help her pass her upcoming exams.
