“In this weather, a hot pot is just perfect. Karina made the dipping sauce herself, you all have to try it.”
Noah set up the induction cooker and brought various ingredients to the table.
Karina busied herself setting out the tableware. Yvonne pitched in to help, and the atmosphere finally eased.
Once the hot pot was simmering, Noah realized he’d forgotten to bring any wine.
Bennett had some in the trunk of his car; a friend had brought him a couple of bottles from abroad a while back, and he’d left them there.
While Bennett went to his car to get the wine, Yvonne sat at the table, dipping vegetables into the pot.
Noah made small talk with Yvonne, discussing things happening in their social circle, and the mood grew noticeably warmer.
Karina was busy putting meat and vegetables into her daughter Nicola’s bowl.
Watching Noah and Yvonne chat so pleasantly, she felt an inexplicable knot of resentment forming in her stomach.
Yvonne was such a vixen. She used that innocent-looking face of hers to seduce men everywhere she went.
First Thomas, then Bennett. After that, she led her brother on, and now she was flirting with her husband right in front of her.
Karina was so angry she wanted to splash the boiling broth from the pot onto Yvonne’s face, ruin that vixen-like beauty, and see who she could seduce then.
“Noah, why did your assistant prepare so much meat? The four of us can’t possibly eat all of this. And Nicola is just a child, it’s not good for her to eat too much.”
Karina placed some cooked meat into Noah’s bowl as she muttered.
