She proceeded to recommend several other dishes, creating a cheerful atmosphere.
Despite this, Stella couldnât help but notice that Matthew hadnât taken a single bite.
She glanced at the mushrooms she had just boiled and hesitated for a moment before offering her plate to Matthew.
âWould you Like some?
Theyâre delicious.

Her hand hovered for a moment, but Matthew remained impassive.
Thinking that he might not be accustomed to hotpot, Stella was about to retract her hand when Matthew spoke up suddenly.
âIs it spicy?â
Stella blinked in surprise, shaking her head quickly.
Matthew accepted the plate, selected a mushroom, and savored it delicately.
Once he finished the mushroom, Stella, still somewhat taken aback, asked, âWould you like to try something else?â
Matthew seemed less resistant now.
He replied softly, âIf you think itâs delicious, give me more.
â
Stella nodded in agreement, meticulously selecting each dish before adding it to the pot.
After a brief boil, she handed the plate to Matthew.

She glanced at the photo with satisfaction, marveling at Matthewâs down-to-earth demeanor.
Matthew smiled inwardly, savoring each bite.
The food prepared by his wife was undeniably delicious.
After the delightful dinner, Flossie decided to add some sparkle to the evening.
She returned with a bottle of champagne in hand, a gleam of celebration in her eyes.

Stella felt slightly bashful at the high-spirited atmosphere Flossie had created, but there was no stopping her now.
