The atmosphere at the dining table was extremely strange.

Elijah and Clover, smiling warmly, served Rose some food. "Rose, have some of this. You love it..."

The food was placed on the plate in front of Rose. Then, Jonathan promptly said, "Wifey, I made this."

Jonathan looked at Rose, his face clearly saying, "Wifey, praise me."

"Ugh! This tastes awful!"

Clover clearly had a disdain for Jonathan, and it was written all over his face without any attempt to hide it. He picked at her food, took a bite, and felt like spitting it out. But he had come with the intention of having lunch with Rose and ended up going there without having eaten lunch.

He didn't get to eat lunch, and his frustration left him feeling full.

Although he was still a bit miffed, as soon as the food entered his mouth, he realized he was actually a little hungry.

]He hadn't expected Jonathan's cooking skills to be, well... quite good?

He had to "reluctantly" swallow it down when his original intention was to spit it out

to belittle Jonathan, but now it was just...

Clover frowned and reiterated, "It's awful! Really awful!"

Yet the food being awful did not affect his ability to eat quickly at all.

Jonathan quietly placed Clover's favorite dishes in front of him without saying anything.

Clover wasn't interested in being pleased or won over.

Food was one thing, but when it came to compromising on anything related to Rose, that was absolutely out of the question!

After eating, Clover began to put his plan into action.

"Rose, you take a break. I need to discuss something with Jonathan." Clover smiled somewhat genuinely.

Rose looked at his smile and felt a bit uneasy. She also looked at Jonathan with a hint of concern.

"Go on. We'll come back to see you tomorrow," Clover waved to Rose, seeming almost like a big grey wolf.

Jonathan was from the Finch family, and considering Regalia was under his territory, even if Clover intended to do something to him, it wouldn't be too extreme, right?

What Clover was planning to do to Jonathan was not tat excessive.

As soon as Rose went upstairs, the smile on Clover's face disappeared. "Let's go!"

It was just one word, but it carried a strong sense of authority.
