Misty shouted at Jessie:
"You mean old hag! You're awful!"
Then she looked at the disastrous meal Cynthia had prepared for them.
Her young face instantly filled with misery.
Cynthia fixed Misty with a cold stare.
She said icily:
"What's wrong, Misty? Don't you like my cooking?"
Misty gave an awkward smile and hurriedly said:
"Of course I do, Cynthia! How could I not like your cooking?"
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of something unidentifiable and stuffed it into her mouth.
In that instant, Misty wanted to die.
Sure enough, Cynthia's cooking hadn't changed.
It was still just as awful!
Jessie saw that Misty had given in anyway.
With a look of bitter resignation, she picked up a charred lump of food.
She put it in her mouth.
The moment it reached her stomach, cold sweat broke out all over Jessie's body.
She looked at Cynthia standing nearby and asked in confusion:
"Cynthia, why aren't you eating?"
Cynthia smiled at her and Misty.
"Don't worry about me! I've already eaten!"
At that, the last of their resolve collapsed.
She's unbelievable. All this just to torture us.
Cynthia, you've really gone to a lot of trouble!
Xu Mu, who had been watching the whole spectacle, quickly said to Cynthia:
"Cynthia, Misty and Jessie only just got here. They haven't had a chance to rest, so they probably wouldn't have an appetite for anything. Why not let them take a break first?"
His words were music to their ears. Both nodded frantically at Cynthia.
Seeing that Xu Mu had spoken up too, Cynthia deflated like a balloon.
She relented.
"All right! Get some proper rest today."
"I'll make you another meal tomorrow."
Misty and Jessie didn't care what Cynthia planned to whip up tomorrow. Right now, all they wanted
