Chapter 340

Nydia was just about to open her mouth to explain where this money had gone, but she heard Jesse waving his hand.

“No need to tell me, it’s your own money anyway, you can do with it as you please.”

“?” Asking and not wanting to know the answer? Sick!

“I’m going on a business trip tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Nydia responded just as she answered, “You’re going on a business trip? How long?”

Jesse did not expect Nydia’s reaction to be so great.

“Four or five days.”

Nydia was surprised. If she didn’t treat his legs for four or five days, it was likely that half of her previous efforts would be wasted.

“Going somewhere on business?”

“Need to report to you?”

It was clearly a mockery from Jesse, but Nydia obediently answered, “Of course! We’re not divorced yet, right? You won’t need to report to me once we’re really divorced.”

The moment these words came out, Jesse sneered, “There is no need for that now either!”

After saying that, he left, this sudden anger made Nydia very depressed.

Unable to get information about the business trip from Jesse, she could only start from Vergil.

However, when she went to ask Vergil, Vergil said with a difficult face, “Madam, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s because Boss has instructed not to tell you.”

“Why?”

“I’m not sure.”

Nydia frowned, thinking that there was something really wrong with Jesse, he had actually even instructed Vergil.

“What did he say to you? Did he tell you not to tell me anything about him in the future or was it just this time?”

Vergil’s face was instantly embarrassed, he didn’t know how to answer the question.

But it was the answer if he didn’t answer.

“Fine, I won’t embarrass you, I’m going to make a late night snack, will you eat?”

“What?” Vergil was confused, he hadn’t eaten anything made by Nydia for a long time, now there was an opportunity in front of him, should he eat it?

“Don’t you want to eat? Forget it if you don’t eat.”

Vergil unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, remembering all the delicious food he had eaten before.

“Are you having a problem with me again now? So you won’t even eat what I’ve cooked?” The expression on Nydia’s face when she said this was somewhat helpless and sad, and she sighed, “Forget it.”

“No, madam, it’s not like that, I …”

“Then do you eat?”

“Yes!” Vergil nodded heavily.

Nydia smiled, “Okay, I’ll go make it, I remember you love spicy food right?”

“Right.”

After Nydia left, Vergil scratched his head, thinking that it shouldn’t be a problem to just have a midnight snack. He would eat quickly and pretend as if nothing had happened, so Jesse wouldn’t find out. Not long after, Nydia brought out the midnight snack.

“Vergil, come and eat,” she said.

“Sour and spicy noodles?”

“Yes, try it and see if it’s spicy enough.”

Vergil was from C City and had a special fondness for sour and spicy noodles. He hadn’t had authentic sour and spicy noodles in a long time since moving to H City.

After taking a bite, he inexplicably teared up, thinking of the taste of his mother’s cooking.

“What’s wrong?” Nydia noticed Vergil’s abnormal reaction.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that I haven’t had something this spicy in a while, I need to adjust to it.”

Vergil ate quickly, he had to finish before Mr. Jesse found out, and didn’t have time to savor the taste.

“You should eat slower,” Nydia said. “If you haven’t had something this spicy in a while, eating too fast can cause you to choke.”

Listening to Nydia’s gentle voice made Vergil feel even more guilty.

“Missus, we’re going to the capital on a business trip,” he said and immediately began eating.

However, as he ate, he realized something was wrong. He felt a familiar pressure on top of his head and couldn’t help but look up, dropping his fork on the table and picking up a sour and spicy noodle. The chili pepper went straight into his eye, causing him to tear up.

But he didn’t dare to make any extra movements and just looked at Jesse with his eyes wide open.

“I happened to be making some midnight snacks and thought that since Vergil works so hard, I’d make him some,” Nydia said with a smile.

“Well, eat up, take your time,” Jesse said.

“I’m done, I’m done,” Vergil stood up and didn’t dare to take another bite.

Jesse glanced at the remaining noodles in the bowl. “You didn’t finish.”

Vergil could only reluctantly finish the noodles. “It’s not that I don’t want to, I just can’t. I’m full,” he said.

“Do you dislike it?”

“No, I don’t. I just… I’ll eat!” Vergil said.

Under Jesse’s watchful gaze, Vergil finished the bowl of sour and spicy noodles. His eyes were red from the chili pepper, but he didn’t dare to wipe them, making him look a bit comical.

“Mr. Jesse, I’m done. I’m going downstairs now.” Today, Jesse let him stay on this side, so they could leave for the airport together in the morning. But Vergil felt like there wouldn’t be a next time.

“Did you eat something and make Missus do the dishes?”

“I’ll wash them. I’ll go wash them now!” Vergil picked up the dishes and utensils and ran off like a gust of wind, leaving only Jesse and Nydia in the dinning room.

Nydia looked at Jesse’s calm face and found it a bit funny. “Why did you scare him?”

“When did I scare him?”

Nydia was taken aback and thought back, but it seemed like she didn’t. If someone else said these words, it wouldn’t matter, but the person who said them was Jesse, and coupled with his expression, wasn’t it scary?

However, she had already gotten the information she wanted. She could ask Vergil about the hotel information later. In any case, the treatment could not be stopped. Otherwise, she would have to pay a billion if she didn’t divorce after three months, which was enough to make her heart ache.

“Are you trying to please the people around me now?”

“Why would I try to please the people around you? I wanted to have a midnight snack myself and saw Vergil here, so I just made more.” Nydia said calmly, her face showing no emotion.

“Then have another meal.”

Nydia didn’t react.

Jesse stopped talking and just looked at Nydia, his gaze seemed to say: “Try it, savor it slowly.”

“Do you want to eat it?”

“Make some more.”

Nydia held back the urge to roll her eyes and asked, “Are you going to tell me you want to eat sour and spicy noodles?”

“Sure.”

“…” Are you fucking kidding me? It was clearly because Vergil ate sour and spicy noodles that you wanted them too!

She gritted her teeth and held back.

First, she should go make him some sour and spicy noodles. For now, she couldn’t anger him. Everything had to revolve around his leg injury. After three months, if he still acted this way, she would just slap him!

After she finished making it, she brought it over to Jesse.

This bowl wasn’t as sour and spicy as the one she gave Vergil, but she purposely put cilantro in it since Jesse didn’t like it.

Sure enough, Jesse frowned when he saw the cilantro.

“Why did you put cilantro in it?”

“You can pick it out.” Nydia answered casually.

Jesse hesitated for a moment, then pushed the cilantro aside and prepared to eat.

“Aren’t you afraid I poisoned it?”

“What poison?”

Ha! Jesse’s humor always appeared inadvertently.

“Go ahead and eat. It’s not poisoned.”

But Jesse pushed the bowl towards her instead.

What did he mean?
