Even if it was all fake, those words still made Edwards' hand pause mid-meal. He raised his eyes and looked directly at Janice.

The other three family members noticed a shift in the atmosphere, but none of them said a word.

After a few seconds, Edward silently picked up some food and placed it on Janice's plate. His voice, usually calm and detached, softened without him realizing it. "Eat more."

Matilda, oblivious to the undercurrents in the room, clapped her hands in excitement. "Edward, your cooking is amazing!"

It was proof that talented people excelled at anything they put their minds to.
