Chapter 737

Jared ambled over, and he and Agnes began to eat.

Agnes had prepared a sumptuous meal, including medium rare steak, pot roast, Caesar salad, and a bowl of clam chowder.

It took Agnes a long time to prepare the food.

Over the years in Manhattan, she had been so busy with work, she barely had time to cook.

She usually just had a sandwich.

And Nocturne, who had a long slumber schedule and difficulty digesting complex foods, usually ate simpler food. Fortunately, Nocturne never got sick of the simple diet.

Jared had already started to dig in.

Jared tried a bit of everything, then said candidly, “The steak is a bit overcooked, I’ll deduct ten points. The pot roast is leaning on the saltier side, another ten off. The vegetables could be fresher so that’s twenty off. And it tastes like you forgot the salt in the clam chowder. That’s another ten off.”
