Channing did not answer and only turned around to look at her. He said after several seconds, “Okay.”

Winnie asked, “Did you look for Chassell?

Channing confirmed, “I did.”

“You went to look for him…”

Channing said, “You already asked the second question.”

Winnie was puzzled.

Channing stood up and said, “Let me use the kitchen.”

Winnie paused for a while before realizing that she had been fooled. Channing was indeed smart and could think very quickly.

Winnie looked at his back and rubbed her eyebrows. She was holding back a lot of questions but did not know where to begin.

After a while, the food was delivered.

Winnie collected them and walked to the dining room. She then asked Channing, “What are you doing?”

Channing emerged from the kitchen and said, “I wanted to cook two dishes but your fridge is empty. You had some expired frozen food which I already threw them away.

Winnie was speechless and felt embarrassed again.

She then said, “Let’s eat.”

Channing looked at the food and said, “That’s too much. Pick a few that you wish to eat and keep the rest in the fridge.”

Winnie looked at the dishes and picked some. The rest were brought to the kitchen to cool off before keeping them in the fridge.

Winnie had to control her weight and did not eat much. She said, “Do you want to eat some more?”

“No need, it’s enough,” Channing replied. They finished the food and none was wasted.

Channing packed up the garbage and then said, “Have an early rest. I’ll leave now.”
