Of course, it was still edible.
So, holding the belief that one mustn't waste food, she ate it all.
Then, she picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp.
The coffee was too milky but lacking in sugar, the bitterness and milky taste intertwining. Although it had its own flavor, he still preferred something sweeter.
However, at this moment, Kemi hadn't noticed these details, as she was entirely captivated by Jason's "her" response.
"Is she your friend?"
Kemi tentatively tested the waters.
While nodding, Jason's gaze shifted toward a book on the dinner plate.
"XXX Appraisal of Different Species?"
"It's a popular book lately, and I thought it could help you, Jason, so I specifically bought it for you," Kemi explained, holding back her urge to ask further questions.
With that, Jason headed to the small living room.
He needed to improve his writing.
And reading others' books was naturally the most direct method of improvement.
If it was a recently popular book, then there must be something valuable in it worth learning from.
With this thought, Jason opened the book.
Then, he found himself unwittingly absorbed in it.
Kemi, seeing Jason so engrossed, didn't speak up to disturb him. Instead, she quietly left room 313 and returned to 312.
"How did it go? How did it go?"
The moment Kemi walked in, the younger Telly rushed over and asked eagerly.
"He found fault with a bunch of pastries as well."
Kemi stopped midway through her sentence.
Telly asked curiously.
"And, it seems like Jason has someone he likes," Kemi said, her expression downcast.
"Jason, looking like a psycho killer, has someone who likes him?"
"Is that person crazy?"
Telly spoke her mind candidly, and only after the words came out did she realize what she had said.
"Kemi, I didn't mean you."
Scratching her head with an embarrassed expression, Telly then quickly changed the subject.
"What a difficult guy. For such a beautiful woman like you to personally bake a cake for him and he still doesn't appreciate it, plus he has other women? He must be very picky, right?"
Assuming she was right, Telly wore an indignant expression and then reached for the Gold cake that she had helped make on the table.
She couldn't believe the cake she and Kemi made tasted bad.
"So fishy, so gross."
After just one bite, Telly threw the cake down and went to drink water.
When Telly was okay, Kemi continued.
"Jason ate all the pastries."
"Then, he had coffee and went to read."
"Didn't he say the pastries tasted bad?"
"Really saying one thing and meaning another."
Telly was taken aback but then scoffed again.
"The pastries did taste pretty bad."
"I tried them myself, and Telly, you stopped after one bite."
"But Jason ate them all."
"I think Jason is a really gentle person. He knew that the pastries I made didn't taste good but ate them anyway to spare my feelings."
"Tall, strong, powerful yet gentle Jason, you make me like you so much."
Kemi muttered softly, her gaze drifting involuntarily to the wall.
Telly was about to say something but eventually didn't say anything at all.
Instead, a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
She was very curious about how Jason could eat something so unappetizing.
On the other side of the wall was Jason's room 313.
Jason, engrossed in his book, wasn't paying any attention to the conversation next door.
Of course, this didn't mean Jason would ignore everything.
Jason raised his head, drawing his thoughts away from the engrossing world of the "XXX Appraisal of Different Species" and looked toward the direction of the door.
The next moment, there was a knock at the door—
Simultaneously, a shadow emerged behind Jason, slowly lifting its arm with two sharp blades silently extending from the wrist. As the arm reached forward, they aimed directly at Jason's neck.
