Catching his breath, he ran to the kitchen door and shouted, \u201cMom, Claire, what are you doing? It\u2019s so early in the morning! Don\u2019t you usually sleep in until noon?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you acting so strange today? What are you making? What\u2019s that suffocating smell? Oh my god, the oven is smoking! Fire extinguisher! Quick!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ten minutes later, Hank and Claire sat across from each other at the dining table, their faces covered in soot.<\/p>\n<p>Between them was a plate of small, charcoal\u2013black cookies. Hank pointed at the plate with a blackened face.<\/p>\n<p>He asked Claire, who was also covered in soot, \u201cMom, Claire, can you tell me what this is? Squid ink cookies? Ink cookies? Ink biscuits? Why did you suddenly decide to make these?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire propped her chin on her hand, just like Hank, and sighed. \u201cOh, I couldn\u2019t sleep. I was thinking about some things and couldn\u2019t fall asleep. When I can\u2019t sleep, I like to find something to do. I watched some short videos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I saw someone making dried mangoes. They looked delicious, so I tried to make some. It doesn\u2019t look like I was very successful, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing the words \u201cdried mangoes,\u201d Hank froze. \u201cThese are dried mangoes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank was confused. \u201cWhat about mangoes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire spread her hands. \u201cThey\u2019re dried out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d Hank couldn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re dried out, baked dry. This plate in front of you is them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s strange. I clearly followed the 1:1 ratio. Why is it so different from the video? Where\u2019s my phone? I\u2019m going to report that short video.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank knew she was upset and stopped her. \u201cStop it! What\u2019s wrong with you? Sit down, and don\u2019t move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He spoke seriously, and Claire stopped what she was doing and sat back down. She looked at Hank, who was sitting opposite her with his arms crossed. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank narrowed his eyes. \u201cYou\u2019re not right. You haven\u2019t been right since we got back last night. You don\u2019t usually get up to go to the bathroom at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI counted last night, and you got up 17 times and flushed 29 times. Now, you\u2019re making these burnt mango jerkies\u2018. Something\u2019s wrong.\u201d He curled his lip, looking at her with concern.<\/p>\n<p>Claire thought that this matter should indeed be discussed with Hank. After all, he was her and Arthur\u2019s son, so she straightened her back and said, \u201cHank, I think I should talk to you about this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, your father, Arthur, confessed his feelings to me and asked me to consider being with him. I want to hear your<\/p>\n<p>1\/3<\/p>\n<p>11:47 Tue, 25 Feb tie<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 614<\/p>\n<p>opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>374-<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re just hung up on your past. You feel like you\u2019ve already been married once, so you\u2019re not worthy of my dad, who sits in that position, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, that\u2019s strange. How did you know?\u201d Claire widened her eyes and looked at Hank.<\/p>\n<p>Hank smiled smugly. \u201cOf course, I was born to you two, so I have high emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>After a few seconds, Claire stood beside Hank and pinched his arm. \u201cHonestly, how old are you? How do you know all this about love? You talk about it like you\u2019re experienced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you hurt some girl by dating her too young, or did you sneak a peek at something again?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank opened his mouth wide in pain. \u201cClaire, Claire, it hurts! It hurts so much!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, no, my studies are the most important. I just accidentally read a few too many romance novels.<\/p>\n<p>2\/3<\/p>\n<p>11:47 Tue, 25 Feb ti<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 614<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo! I won\u2019t do it again. Claire, Mom, it hurts! Don\u2019t pinch my face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From afar, the mother and son, both with dark faces, were engaged in a one\u2013sided beating.<\/p>\n<p>3\/3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-637","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
