When Yvette woke up early the next morning, she saw a busy figure in the open kitchen.
Xavier had a light–colored shirt on and gray pants. There was an apron tied around his waist.. Yvette was in shock when she saw him cooking.
She had never seen Xavier cooking before.
She had only ever heard Daphne say that he could cook and that he had personally cooked for her before.
When Xavier heard footsteps coming down the stairs, he looked over.
“You’re up? Come have some tacos.” While saying that, he placed two plates of tacos on the dining table.
Yvette didn’t notice that the sink was filled with failed attempts at tacos. Xavier’s delicate fingers had burn marks on them as well.
He had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He didn’t even know how to wash the dishes, much less cook.
Xavier was helpless when it came to day–to–day tasks. In fact, he had only searched online for a taco recipe at the last minute.
While staring at his burnt hands, he thought, Cooking honestly isn’t that difficult…”
He didn’t know why t
had suddenly gotten the urge to make tacos first thing in the morning, either. Maybe it was because he felt guilty for saying something he shouldn’t have said the night before.
When Yvette reached the dining room and saw the seafood tacos on the plate, she was so stunned that she didn’t even touch the food.
Xavier thought it was because he had done a bad job. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Then, he took a bite and realized that it tasted normal. It was certainly edible.
“You can throw it away if you don’t want to eat it,” he said. After that, he proceeded to eat it on his own. However, his eyes were fixed on Yvette’s face.
She picked up one of the tacos. She muttered, “It’s the first time anyone has made seafood tacos for me.”
Xavier didn’t realize the deeper meaning behind her words.
“You should eat more.
After taking a bite, Yvette asked him, “We’ve known each other for about 17 years, right?”

As if Xavier would remember something like that.
“Yes. It’s been over a decade.”
Yvette took bite after bite of the tacos. Her voice was barely abdible as she whispered, “I’m
such a fool.”
Xavier didn’t catch it. “What did you say?”
“I said, this is delicious.”
“You cook fish all the time. It’s my first time trying my hand at it,” Xavier said.
Yvette finished the whole plate of tacos.
“Are you full? I can get you more if you’re not. Xavier got up to get more tacos, but Yvette didn’t respond.
He looked at her again, only to realize that her neck and hands were completely red. “What happened?” He looked alarmed.
“I’m allergic to seafood,” Yvette muttered while glancing at him.
They had known each other for 17 years and had been married for three, but he had no idea.
Xavier’s mind went blank. He hurriedly carried her to the car and began rushing to the
hospital.
On the way there, he felt like he was running out of breath. “Are you crazy? Why didn’t you tell me you were allergic?”
“I told you before. You might have forgotten,” she replied.
It wasn’t like Yvette had never informed him. At the time, she had still been in high school, and she had gone to Lane Mansion to celebrate a holiday with them.
Xavier had noticed she hadn’t eaten much during the banquet, so he had sneakily got some good food for her.
She had told him back then that she couldn’t eat seafood because she was allergic to it. She remembered it like it was yesterday. He had told her, “I’ll keep that in mind. I won’t ever forget
it.”
However, for the life of him, Xavier couldn’t recall her telling him that she was allergic to seafood.
All he could remember was that Yvette had always had some dish with seafood on the table whenever he had gone home.
Naturally, he had assumed that she liked it.

Yvette seemed to know what he was thinking. She added, “The reason why I cooked fish so often wasn’t because I liked it. It was because you liked it.”
Xavier felt even more upset when he heard that. The road to the hospital felt like it stretched on forever.
“You didn’t have to do that,” he said after a long time.
It was then that Yvette realized that all he had to say in response to everything she had done was that there was no need for her to have done it.
She had been such a fool back then. “I know that now. I won’t do it in the future.”
She would never treat someone who didn’t love her like that again.
