Zachary was momentarily taken aback.

Back at Sinclair Manor, Vivian always ordered the chef to cook simple and mild dishes-never anything remotely this spicy.

As she grilled the beef, she said casually, "You might not know this about me, but whether I'm feeling down or in a great mood, I enjoy eating something spicy."

Zachary frowned slightly. "Does it actually help?"
