Huh? Julia Bluen was a little at a loss. Once the food entered her mouth, should she swallow it or spit it out? Noticing the contrite look on her husband's handsome face, she decided to swallow it, not wanting to shake his confidence further. So, she slightly relaxed her furrowed brow and forced the extremely salty vegetable down into her stomach. Then, she hurriedly picked up the bowl of soup, which tasted as if no salt had been added, and gulped it down frenetically.
Glades Horne, seeing her actions, thought the soup must taste good, and a slight smile crept onto his embarrassed face. Julia drank the whole bowl of soup, then quickly filled another, drinking half before she stopped—a testament to just how salty the vegetables had been.
