8 .
The night was deep , yet the temperature showed no signs of dropping .
In my past life , I spent my final days in the basement , cut off from the outside world .
The uncertainty of my fate was a heavy weight on my heart .
Luckily , my house was well stocked .
Theres no problem a hearty meal of hot pot cant solve ; and if it cant , two meals surely will .
Iraided the fridge , pulling out some tripe , shrimp balls , duck intestines , fatty beef , lamb , and a variety of vegetables and mushrooms .
I prepared a rich , spicy hot pot for myself .
Still feeling unsatisfied , I pulled out my tablet to watch The Office .
Just as I was enjoying my meal , my phone rang .

It was Ethan , having discovered the empty basement .
Wheres all the food ? Why didnt you get the air conditioning fixed ? Are you trying to kill me ? I bought that food with my own money , so of course , I took it .
I dont need the air conditioning , so why should I pay to fix it ? Elyse ! Youre so tight fisted ; no wonder you cant make any money ! Yeah , yeah … Im poor and proud .
Youre rich ; go buy new stuff , you fool .
He wanted to keep yelling at me , but Im no longer the woman who lets him vent without standing up for myself .
I simply hung up the call .
I watched him try calling a few more times through the surveillance feed , but I had already turned off my phone .
When he realized he couldnt reach me , he stormed into the basement looking for food and finally exploded in rage .
Theres nothing to eat here ! The AC doesnt work ! And the kids just wasting food ! I trusted you with this home , and you cant even manage this ? Chloe was left speechless by his yelling .
Now he realizes his childhood sweetheart isnt all he imagined her to be ? This is the woman he always dreamed of .
Ugh ! If theres nothing , just buy some ! My son was in the living room playing with his toy car , looking at Ethan with annoyance .
Ethan didnt have a kind look for him either : The temperatures so high outside , no delivery person will accept an order .
You talk so easily , why dont you go yourself ?! My son shrugged and pulled out a bag of chips : If theres no food , there are always snacks .
If Im hungry , Ill just ask Mom to bring something .
Ethan was so mad his face turned red .
Chloe seized the opportunity , whispering softly to Ethan .
Watching the three of them , each with their own motives on the screen , I casually cooked some duck intestines , dipping them into the spicy oil to enjoy their tender taste .
