"Maybe his friend only wants to see him, but not me," Avery replied casually. "Are you hungry? I'm a little hungry. If you're hungry, then I'll go make something to eat." "What are you planning to cook?" Adrian was a little hungry, so he got up.
They headed to the kitchen.
They made too much ravioli that morning so there was excess.

"Okay! I like ravioli.” "Is there anything that you don't like to eat? " Avery asked with a smile.
Avery would naturally relax when chatting with Adrian.
"lI don't like bitter squash." Adrian grimaced. "Bitter squash is really bitter, but Mrs. Scarlet likes them." "lI don't like them either, but bitter squash is good stuff," Avery said. "But if you really don't like them, you don’t have to eat them." "Hmm. Can | try cooking? | want to give it a go." Adrian had never cooked anything before.
"Okay! I'll teach you." Avery moved aside a little. "We'll first turn on the stove. You press this switch before turning the knob. No.
We should use a clean pot and fetch a suitable amount of water. Maybe until this line here. Once you have the water, we place the pot on the stove, then turn the knob and wait for the water to boil." "What do you mean when the water boils?" Adrian asked while looking at the water in the pot.
"When the water starts bubbling, it's boiled. This is when you can throw the ravioli or pasta into the pot." Avery patiently taught Adrian. "Like ravioli that has cout from the freezer, usually you need to cook it for about 15 minutes. When it's almost time, you can take one out to try." Adrian nodded. "It doesn't seem that hard." "It isn't. You're smart too, so you will learn quickly. Shea even knows how to make soup!" Avery praised. "If you want to learn all these, Mrs. Scarlet can teach you." "Mrs. Scarlet is afraid that I'll dirty my clothes or hurt myself when | use the knife.
"You can tell her that you'll be careful. Mrs. Scarlet is a softy. If you ask her a few more times, she will agree to you." "Hmm." Soon, the water boiled.
"You can now put the ravioli in. The water is boiling. You must be gentle. Don't get burned by the water. It will hurt." Avery instructed Adrian.
Adrian took the ravioli =f):V]Q: slowly put them in.

By the kitchen door, Elliot looked at the heartwarming scene. He did not want to enter and spoil the beauty of the moment.
When all the ravioli was in the pot, Avery spotted Elliot from the corner of her eyes.
"When did you return? Why didn't you say anything?" Avery wiped her hands dry with a towel and strode to him.
He did not reek of alcohol, but he smelt faintly of foreign perfume. He most probably has gone to meet a woman.
"I just returned not long ago. Are you two cooking ravioli?" Elliot's expression was calm.
"Hmm, do you want to eat some? If you want, I'll get Adrian to cook more." "I'm not hungry. Does he know how to cook them?" "I just taught him. He should be fine." Then, Avery walked over to Adrian and asked, "Is there anything else that you don't know?" "Yes," Adrian asked, "How do | turn off the fire?" Avery pointed at the knob and said, "Just turn the knob back to its original place.
Then, turn the switch off." "Okay. | understand. Go watch TV with Elliot! I'll call you when it's ready." "Hmm. If there is anything that you don't know, you can callanytime," Avery said with a smile and went to the living area with Elliot.
The TV was playing a group of people singing.
