Chapter 928: The Reappearance of the Female Corpse Case

Ruud waited until Tina got up and left before excitedly boasting to Alina, "Alina, did you see that? Our daughter finished the noodles I made!"

Alina patted his hand in encouragement. "I told you, you have a knack for cooking. This is just your second time, and you've already won her over. It's not as hard as you thought."

"Our daughter will accept you in no time."

Tina returned to grab her lunchbox, overhearing their conversation. She smirked faintly and threw out a casual remark as she walked past them, "Next time, remember to wear reading glasses while cooking."

Ruud froze. "Is she saying I'm old?" His brief moment of pride vanished as his anxiety returned. "Or... was there something dirty in the noodles?"

He anxiously examined the bowl but found nothing wrong after a thorough check. Not knowing what kind of vegetables Tina liked, he had been cautious, adding only simple seasoning to the soup, following what he'd learned from the Reed family.

Seeing Ruud so nervous, Alina couldn't help but reassure him. "She's teasing you. I think it's fine. The noodles look delicious..."

Her voice trailed off.

Alina slowly put down her spoon, her expression revealing an understanding she chose not to voice. Out of love for Ruud, she forced a smile and nodded.

"I think it's fine."

Ruud didn't believe her. Using her spoon, he tasted the soup himself. For a moment, his face, dusted with flour, froze.

The soup was sweet.

So were the noodles.

Had he mixed up the salt and sugar?

That couldn't be! He had carefully read the labels. As someone who could detect millimeter discrepancies in mechanical parts at a glance, how could he confuse salt with sugar? Ruud was dumbfounded.

Alina stepped forward and hugged the man, who was still rooted to the spot, her voice full of tenderness. "Don't be discouraged. This is only your third attempt. We'll have plenty more chances in the future. One mistake doesn't matter." Hearing his wife's comforting words, Ruud felt his heart soften completely.
