Edwin shifted his gaze toward Laura.

She remained engrossed in the antics of Tom and Jerry, leisurely savoring each potato chip.

Edwin mustered a smile.

“Your home cooking smells positively delightful.

It’s been quite some time since I enjoyed a meal of this caliber!”

Internally, Lina rolled her eyes.

The audacity of it all!

In the midst of it, Peter, enveloping Edwin in a hearty embrace, quipped, “Pay no heed to Lina’s chatter! Today, it’s you and me enjoying a good drink together.

He even tasked his wife with preparing a modest hot pot so they could partake in conversation while enjoying the meal and libations.
