"Come here."
Flossie hooked her finger towards little Hutchinson. Then, she pointed to a spot next to the couch, indicating that he should come and sit there.
After cautiously glancing at Flossie a few times, the little boy hesitated but quickly obeyed, approaching her and voluntarily climbing onto the couch to sit beside her.
Nonetheless, he was still a little nervous inside.
After all, he had done many things wrong that day...
However, Flossie didn’t ask him why he had chosen to play games with her from the start, or why he claimed that the watch was bought by her, or why he insisted on having her join him for dinner. Instead, she simply allowed him to sit by her side and handed him the remote control. Meanwhile, she sipped her tea, which was a bit strong, from the cup next to her.
The tea was quite bitter.
The bitterness hit Flossie’s taste buds from the first sip. But she remained calm throughout, mainly because little Hutchinson seemed to be observing her preferences vigilantly.
"Sis, do you want more?"

Seeing Flossie finish her tea, little Hutchinson, in high spirits, leaned in to ask.
Flossie’s eyebrows twitched as she looked at him, eager to see the teacup in her hand. The grip on her fingers tightened slightly. Quickly, she averted the little boy’s gaze and placed the cup on the coffee table before standing up. "I’m going to check the kitchen."
Little Hutchinson glanced toward the kitchen, saw his father busying himself inside, and nodded happily in agreement. "Okay."
Walking towards the kitchen, Flossie couldn’t help but rub her forehead halfway. She found it quite challenging to get upset at this overly well-behaved child.
Such a shame.
Flossie appeared somewhat unwell, and a chill seemed to hang around her as she entered the room.
Almost the moment she approached the kitchen, Glenn Hutchinson noticed her presence. He didn’t immediately look up at her arrival but calmly continued to finish stir-frying the vegetables in his hand. Only after arranging the cooked food on a plate and putting down the wok, did he glanced up at the approaching Flossie.
"Need a hand?"
Flossie asked as she rolled up the sleeves of her shirt.
Only wearing a thin shirt underneath her trench coat, she didn’t feel the cold thanks to the room’s heating and the closed doors and windows.
"What can you do?" Glenn asked casually as he washed the pan.
He had heard about Flossie’s "sensational" performance in the cooking class. However, certainly because he had heard about it, he didn’t put too much faith in Flossie.
It was told that when the cooking class was busy and short-staffed, both Becca Reyes and Flossie were asked by the instructor to stir-fry a dish. Becca’s dish was passable, but Flossie’s was horrific. The cooks didn’t dare to taste it and decided not to waste it by feeding it to the pigs. However, several pigs preferred to skip a meal rather than eating it that night.
This incident became a joke among the soldiers.
Of course, rumors always become distorted in the retelling. Still, as the saying goes, "there’s no smoke without fire." Flossie’s culinary skills may not have been as terrible as rumored, but they certainly weren’t good.
"I can chop vegetables."
After thinking, Flossie wisely decided not to interfere with Glenn’s cooking.
Silent and indifferent, Glenn only diverted his attention to Flossie after washing the pan. He eyed Flossie for a few moments, then took a few steps to the side, and grabbed an apron hanging on the wall.
