Alex returned home and was surprised to find that Hazel was in the kitchen with his mother. The two of them were preparing something for dinner. The smell of something spicy wafted through the room and Alex immediately knew that his mother had invited Hazel to accompany her to eat something spicy again.
In their family, both Alex and Ellie followed after their father. They could not tolerate spicy food. However, his mother was someone who loved to eat them.
In the past, whenever his mother wanted to eat something spicy, she would always invite Auntie Edith to eat with her. After a while of eating with them, Hazel had built her tolerance for spicy food and would accompany the two women to eat.
Although Alex had tried to eat them, he could not bear the level of spiciness that his mother had always liked.
Noticing that someone was standing at the kitchen entrance, Lily turned around and smiled when she saw her son.
