Chapter 120: Jared and Tina Cooking Together

Tina glanced at the noodles in front of her and thought it best to spare herself, letting the guinea pigs do the testing. She stood up, carried five bowls of noodles to the kitchen, and dumped them. "I'll cook a new batch." Although it was her first time cooking noodles, she often watched Jennie cook and felt confident her steps were correct. Fifteen minutes later, Jared Farrell and his friends again faced a new batch of noodles with indescribable expressions. "Is it the vinegar this time?" Hayden Cohen barely managed the overwhelming sour taste, puzzled.

Tina's expression darkened. "I'll try again."

"Don't!"

Before Jared Farrell and the others could stop her, she was back in the kitchen. Throughout the evening, she stubbornly cooked seven batches of noodles, forcing Jared and his friends to taste each disastrous attempt, their faces ashen and spirits crushed.

"It's too late, Jared, I'm too tired, not hungry anymore. Let Nathan take me to my mom's place," Sophia gave up first, previously planning to stubbornly stay but now wishing she could flee faster.

"I'll take you!" Hayden Cohen quickly stood, grabbed Sophia, and ran before Tina could object.

"Ah, I just remembered the car needs fueling. There's a half-price deal, I better fill it up before midnight," Nathan Lehman made a clumsy excuse, following Hayden's lead to escape.

Soon, only Tina and Jared Farrell remained, staring at each other over the table full of noodles. Jared noticed Tina's reluctant gaze at the noodles and chuckled, realizing cooking was not her strong suit.

"Let me teach you," he said, standing up and using his uninjured left hand to wrap around her waist, leaning on her shoulder with a suppressed laugh.
