Back at Donovan's house, Alice was a bit worried when both Donovan and Queenie hadn't returned after quite some time.
Finally, she lost her patience. “I hope nothing bad happened. No, I should call them and ask about their whereabouts.”
Ava smiled and persuaded, “Hey, don't. Have you forgotten how the youngsters nowadays don't like eating at home? Perhaps they found a restaurant they preferred out there when they wandered around. Thus, stop worrying about them. Let's start eating.”
Convinced, Alice quickly put down her phone.
“You're right. How silly of me. I nearly disturbed them.”
Soon after that, Arielle and the others arrived at her new house.
Donovan's mood finally elevated at the sight of the shabby furnishing in her house.
“Trish, help me to pour some tea for them. I'll wash the vegetables first.”
“All right.” Trisha mustered her courage and did as instructed.
After taking a sip of the tea, Queenie stood up. “You're guests as well. So, sit down, please. Since
I know how to cook, I'll help Arielle.”
With that, she headed toward the kitchen.
When she stepped into the small, open kitchen, she couldn't help but feel suffocated.
While trying hard to hide her discomfort, she
approached Arielle. “Let me help to wash the vegetables.”
“There's no need for that. You're a guest, so you should stay put.”
“Don't worry about it. I work in a hospital, so I'm used to a busy schedule that I can't sit still without doing anything.”
Upon hearing her passionate remarks, Arielle had no choice but to accept her offer. “In that case, please help me with the cabbage.”
