After Bella left the dining table, the atmosphere immediately became tense. Ryan's eyes flickered, and he stared at the food in front of him, suddenly losing his appetite. Alice, too, sensed something was off, frowning slightly as she watched Bella's retreating figure.

Different foods can interact in strange ways, and mixing certain things together isn't just about overeating—it can have more serious consequences. Ryan knew this all too well from personal experience.
Take beef and chocolate, or alcohol and cream, for example. Eating too much of these combinations could lead to discomfort.
