Chapter 410 Is It Tasty
The rich broth spread across his lips and tongue, slowly sliding down his throat and into his stomach.
His stomach instantly felt warm and cozy.
He immersed himself in it, savoring it carefully.
When he looked up, he met Sophia's eyes full of anticipation.
"How is it? Does it taste good?" Sophia asked nervously.
She quietly rubbed her hands together, well aware that this was her first time cooking.
"If it's really hard to swallow, don't drink it. Didn't Chase bring food from Harvest & Hearth?"
Chase immediately stepped forward with the food container: "Mrs. White, here it is. I just tried to give the food to Mr. White, but he refused to eat it. He was specifically waiting for you to bring him food."
Benjamin didn't expect Chase to sell him out so quickly and shot him a cold glance.
Chase received Benjamin's icy sharp look and instinctively shrank his neck.
But then he remembered Sophia was there, and suddenly felt bold and justified.
What did he have to be afraid of?
This was all what Sophia had told him to do!
If Benjamin dared to lose his temper at him, he'd go complain to Sophia.
"Childish." Benjamin snorted lightly and continued to lower his head to drink the medicinal soup in front of him.
While drinking, he said to Sophia: "No need to change it, it tastes pretty good."
This was his wife's first time cooking for him.
After Benjamin finished drinking, his heart felt warm too.
Sophia took his words seriously, and her eyes instantly lit up. "Really? If it tastes good, then drink more. I'll make it for you again tomorrow."
Although she had failed many times making this soup, she felt very satisfied.
Now watching Benjamin drink the soup spoonful by spoonful until the bowl was empty, she felt incredibly happy.
Matthew and Alaric watched from the side and exchanged helpless glances.
Sure enough, wherever Sophia and Benjamin were, they couldn't avoid watching them show affection.
However, Matthew and Alaric were used to it by now.
Matthew cleared his throat, deliberately making noise to get Sophia's attention.
"Sophia."
Sophia turned to look at him, worry showing in her eyes. "Matthew, is your throat uncomfortable? Are you sick?"
Matthew: "...I'm fine, just tired from work."
More than anything, Matthew felt frustrated.
Even after all these years, he had never eaten food made by Sophia.
Sophia didn't know what he was thinking, but Benjamin keenly sensed his emotions.
Benjamin smugly raised his eyebrows at Matthew. "If you're tired, you should rest more."
Benjamin's implication was: There's nothing for you here, you can leave now.
Matthew was almost angry enough to cough up blood.
How could there be someone as shameless as Benjamin in this world?
He took a deep breath and said: "I came to see Sophia, not you."
Sophia blinked in confusion: "Matthew, what do you need me for?"
Matthew: "..."
What could he need?
He had just made up an excuse on the spot.
But now Matthew was stuck and had to make up a reason: "Robert went to Celestria a few days ago and asked me to tell you not to worry about him."
"Celestria?"
Sophia almost reflexively thought of the GeneCipher Society.
She heard that the GeneCipher Society's base was now in Celestria.
"What's Robert doing in Celestria? That place is dangerous."
Matthew shrugged: "I don't know. Robert didn't tell me."
Although he was Robert's senior disciple, he never interfered with Robert's whereabouts.
Wherever Robert went and whatever he did, he had his own reasons.
He and his fellow disciples just needed to take care of themselves.
On the hospital bed, Benjamin finished the soup and pulled out a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth.
Hearing Matthew's words, a dark gleam flashed in his lowered eyes, as if thinking about something.
Matthew continued: "Gregory also called and said he's booked a flight back to Silverlight City tomorrow."
"Really? Gregory is finally coming back!" Sophia said happily.
Come to think of it, she'd had too little contact with Gregory these past few years.
She and Gregory used to have the best relationship.
Matthew had a serious personality, and Joshua was somewhat unreliable.
Only Gregory could really have fun with her.
When they were young, Gregory often took her to skip class and go to all kinds of interesting places.
Gregory taught her racing and esports hand by hand.
Gregory was a top expert in both areas.
But to be honest, Sophia's abilities were actually even better.
This was also why Gregory was determined to participate in intensive training.
His last visit home was half a year ago.
As soon as Gregory came back, he challenged her to a match, saying his skills had improved a lot and he could definitely beat her.
The result... naturally Gregory lost again.
Sophia guessed that when Gregory came back this time, he'd drag her into another competition.
Sophia felt both helpless and amused.
But who told him to be her third senior brother? She could only indulge him.
"Gregory?" Benjamin asked in a low voice.
He had investigated Sophia's background and naturally knew how important Gregory was in Sophia's heart.
He couldn't help but feel a bit jealous again.
If Amelia hadn't interfered back then, he should have been the one by Sophia's side growing up with her.
He had missed seventeen whole years of her life.
This had always been his biggest regret.
Sophia happily took Benjamin's hand and introduced him: "My Gregory is really amazing. At such a young age, he's already the captain of a famous esports team!"
Benjamin pouted. "You're better than him."
He had seen Sophia play games, and in his heart, no one could play games better than Sophia.
He didn't want Sophia praising other men in front of him even more.
Sophia laughed and hugged his neck, kissing him on the cheek. "My husband is the best!"
Don't think she couldn't tell—Benjamin was jealous.
Feeling the wet softness on his cheek, the hostility in Benjamin's heart instantly dissipated completely.
"I think so too."
Benjamin nodded in agreement, and with a sweep of his long arm, pulled Sophia into his embrace.
Although Benjamin didn't show it, he was already blooming with joy inside from Sophia's praise.
Matthew and Alaric, who had been watching from the side: "..."
Could Benjamin have any shame left?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have almost thought Benjamin had been possessed.
After all, in their eyes, although Benjamin showed different emotions when facing Sophia, he rarely acted so abnormally.
They could only say: never provoke a jealous man.
Alaric stood up first: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Matthew also stood up. "Sophia, take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Sophia was held in Benjamin's arms, her cheeks slightly flushed.
