Noelle entered the kitchen and saw Charles busy cooking. She stood at the door for a while.Sensing her presence, Charles paused and asked, “Why aren’t you sitting with them?”

“We’re all just sitting around while you’re busy by yourself. Can you manage everything?” Noelleobserved Charles for a bit, noticing his methodical approach to cooking. She watched for a whilebefore asking. “Do you need any help?”

Charles‘ movements hesitated slightly and then he nodded. “Check on the stew. I had it on highheat. earlier. You can turn it down to a simmer now.”

“Okay!” Noelle walked over and took a sniff. “It smells great. What kind of stew is it?”

“Lamb stew,” Charles replied after a moment. “You were drugged yesterday. There’s probably stillsome residue in your system. Eating some stew will be good for you.”

Noelle smiled and nodded. “Alright. But what kind of drug did I take? I don’t remember anything.And about Winter…”

Noelle suddenly realized something had been bothering her all day. Given Winter’s usual behavior,she would either come to gloat or angrily confront Noelle after any incident. However, this time,Winter had been completely silent.

The more Noelle thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Especially since she could notremember much from yesterday, and Charles had not given her a full explanation. “Was it reallyWinter who kidnapped me?”

Charles raised an eyebrow. “You’re only thinking of asking that now?”

Noelle bit her lip. “You said I was drugged, so my mind is a bit fuzzy.” After stirring the stew, sheturned down the heat and leaned against the counter, watching Charles.

She noticed that even when Charles was doing something as mundane as cooking, he was apleasure to watch. Mimicking his usual mannerisms, she tapped her fingers. “You said you rescuedme yesterday. What do you think Winter will do now? Knowing her, she’ll definitely cause trouble forme since she didn’t succeed. But it’s been silent all day!”

Charles raised his eyebrow slightly. Then, with a smile, he said, “Isn’t it good that she’s not causingtrouble? Or do you have a masochistic streak?”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“If it’s not, then come over here and slice some garlic for me,” Charles directed Noelle as hecontinued. cooking. “Don’t worry about those things. They won’t affect you anyway.”

“That’s true,” Noelle agreed, feeling relieved not to be bothered by Winter. Still, something felt off,but she could not pinpoint what it was.
