"Hold on, you're saying too much!" Liam said scribbling on his notepad.

"Again, I want a well done steak, with creamy mushroom soup, with toasted bread. I also want Apples, peeled and cut. Fried fish, and some grape wine, cold. And for dessert, strawberry and blueberry cake and a pack of chocolate chip cookies." Wyatt repeated.

"Isn't that too much?" Hena said bringing back a basket of mangos from the previous order.

"Did I stutter?" Wyatt said as Hena shook her head and gave him some mangos.

Liam sighed, and rushed out with Boman.

Ever since returning from the Asphodel war, Wyatt had been neglected due to all the other work given to his friends.

Today, everyone is free, so they dedicated this day just for Wyatt who had a broken arm.

They promised to do everything he said for the whole day.

"How are you not full?!" Abela asked returning with another set of snacks.

"Are you questioning my hunger?" Wyatt said.

She sighed and said "no, it's just that I really wanna punch you."

Wyatt stuck out his tongue.

"Do you want me to massage you?" Boman suddenly said.

"Oh, sure why not." Wyatt said eating some candy.

While Boman went behind him and placed his hands on Wyatt's shoulders.

Suddenly squeezing them making Wyatt shout "Ah! What the!"

"So you feel more relaxed" Boman aid smacking his back.

While a dragon landed in the garden, and Robin hopping off with a basket of potatoes.

"These were hard to look for." Wyatt said.

When Wyatt finally stood up on his chair, grabbing the potato basket and heading to the kitchen.

While the rest follow him.

He places the basket on the counter, just staring at it.

"You made me go to a far away place just so you can stare at it?" Robin complained.

"My grandma used to make these delicious potato things...I don't know how to do it though." Wyatt said.

"Do you remember how it looked like?" Lenore asked.

"It was nothing but a solid plain snack. Grandma said it was all potatoes." Wyatt replied

"Are you talking about mashed potatoes?" Abela said.

"Potatoes...that are mashed?" Wyatt got confused.

Abela sighed, as she rolled up her sleeves.

"Can I do it?" Abela asked.

Wyatt nodded.

As she grabbed some potatoes and washed it.

"You guys go rest over there while I cook." Abela said as everyone went away except for Robin.

"Can I help with anything?" Robin asked.

"Well, you can start off by peeling these potatoes."

Robin hesitantly got the potatoes, and peeled it without any knowledge.

Abela started setting up the charcoal and making fire. She placed a pot above it and boiled some water.

She went to Robin and made fun of his work.

"Let me help you." Abela reached for the potatoes, and Robin blocked her.

"No. I will cook with my future wife." He said ignoring Abela.

After, she placed the peeled potatoes on the boiling water.

...

After mashing the potatoes, she added seasonings.

She remembered her techniques from her past life as Cleo.

She placed it on a plate, and went to Wyatt.

Wyatt took a spoonful and became silent.

He looked down.

Everyone hesitantly grabbed a bite, and also became silent.

"Is it bad?" Abela asked.

Wyatt sobbed saying "It tastes exactly like Grandma's."

Everyone smiled and gave thumbs up.

"You're going to be a good wife." Lenore said taking another spoonful.

"Let me make another set." Abela laughed heading to the kitchen.
