Later, in the kitchen of an apartment unit in Northern No. 1, Amanda was busy washing and preparing the ingredients for dinner.

It’d be too late if she waited for Selina to come back with groceries. So, she got to making dinner after finding some simple ingredients in the fridge.

“Yeah, I do,” Amanda answered subconsciously while washing the vegetables, taking a second to realize what she had just replied to.
