Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 32.3

"But what?" 

Gwen's heart, which had just settled, suddenly leaped in her chest.

"But it's definitely not as good as what I make." 

Hode wasn't joking when he said this; he had a system that rewarded him.

When it came to cooking, he was among the best of the best, and he could tell just by tasting how many seasonings had been used.

"Can you still cook?!" 

Gwen was truly surprised that Hode knew how to cook. He was already so talented in many areas, yet he hadn't neglected life skills at all.

"Of course! I have a precise grasp of seasonings. For example, this dish contains hand-ground black pepper and celery…" Hode said earnestly, starting to explain how to prepare a good meal.

In fact, it was...

[Ding! You have tasted excellent vegetable soup!]

[Reward: Master-level culinary skills!]

Having a system is really great!

However, Gwen listened very attentively, her eyes fixed on Hode. The soft candlelight illuminated his handsome face. Hode, who was seriously explaining, captivated Gwen's gaze. She didn't even notice what Hode was saying; she just nodded instinctively. To her, a serious guy was incredibly attractive, especially since he seemed to excel at everything without any arrogance.

"If I could really be with him, I'm sure I'd be very happy," Gwen thought, a vision of the two of them together suddenly flashing in her mind. At that moment, she felt her cheeks heat up slightly. It was the first time she had felt insecure about herself. Though she considered herself impressive, she felt like she paled in comparison to Hode.

"Why is your face so red?" 

Hode noticed Gwen lost in thought and instinctively touched her cheek. The moment they made contact, Gwen snapped back to reality. She felt the warmth on her face, her heart racing so fast that she could even hear it.

"Do... do I?" 

Gwen hurriedly shook her head, her eyes flustered. "Maybe the vegetable soup is too hot!"

"I thought you were secretly drinking alcohol behind my back," Hode said without calling out her lie, smiling. "But unfortunately, I have to drive later, so I can't order wine."

"I didn't…" Gwen's voice was barely a whisper. 

At that moment, she felt completely flustered. 

"No way, Gwen Daisy, how can you be so lacking in confidence?"

"Just look if you want!"

"Didn't you even hug him first and kiss him!?"

"Even if I… did that, it wouldn't be a big deal!"

Gwen was desperately trying to pump herself up, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

Suddenly, at the shop's entrance, a familiar voice floated over: "Hode."

That voice, both familiar and cool, yet with a hint of seduction...

Hode suddenly looked up and saw a woman in a crimson trench coat standing at the front desk. Even with a mask, he instantly recognized her—it was Wanda! That trench coat, that figure, was unmistakable!
