After the kidnapping incident, Aidan made a trip from Odionland to take a back home,
Isla had originally stayed for Bowen, but unexpectedly, she'd barely spent twith him and instead got hooked
on video games
That day when Bowen cto rescue Aubree, Isla finally realized that there was no place for her in Dowen’s
heart. With her pride, she decided not to keep chasing what was impossible.
So, Isla made a clean break and returned to Odionland with Aldan.
Before leaving, Isla reminded Aubree, “Don’t forget to keep teachinghow to play games on the phone | when
you're free:
Aubree spent two days in the hospital before being cleared to leave, While her body had recovered, the events of
that day stayed with her.
For quite stime, Aubree was in low spirits, barely able to muster any energy. Noticing this, Bowen helped her
get in touch with a therapist.
At Es Heights, Hugh and Carol, along with the other staff members, stood anxiously outside the kitchen,
watching Bowen's busy figure inside with bated breath.

Hugh thought to himself, “Surely Bowen can manage not to blow up the kitchen, right?”
None of them knew what had gotten into Bowen today. He suddenly decided to learn how to cook, stubbornly
refused all help, and shooed everyone out of the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Bowen fumbled around for ages before finally locating the rolled oats.
His phone, on speaker for a group video call, sat on the kitchen counter
“Well, well, well, isn’t this a rare sight! Our very own Mr. Turner, actually getting his hands dirty in the kitchen
lie’s playful, slightly mocking voice was the first to chin.
Then cMark’s deadpan question. “We won't die from eating this, right?”
“Is there anything I'm not capable of?” Armed with online tips, Bowen put the rolled oats into the pot.
“Besides,” Bowen thought to himself, it's just oatmeal. How hard could it possibly be?
‘Still, since it’s my first tmaking this, I'd better get someone to try it first, just in case it turns out terrible.
Hugh and Carol are getting on in years, and It's inappropriate to put them through that. The other staff are still
busy with work, so I'd better not interrupt them either
Aher mulling it over, Bowen decided that Mark and Ollie were the most idle, free, and healthy of the bunch.
When it cto using his friends as guinea pigs, he never held back.
“That's true,” he mused. ‘Bowen's reliability speaks for itself, he thought. “Everything he does is flawless
Trusting his friend completely, Ollie didn’t hesitate for a second before choosing to believe Bowen,
Mark, being in the know, thought to himself, ‘Wait, is Bowen just using us as guinea pigs before cooking for
Aubre,
With Ollie’s approval, Bowen smirked as he poured the rolled oats into the pot. “So, care to cto Ellis Heights
and be my taste testers?”
Mark was still racking his brain for an excuse to get out of it when Ollie had already agreed without a second
thought.
“Getting to eat a home-cooked meal from Bowen? That's prbragging material for our next night out olie
thought. He couldn't wait to jump at the chance, and he made sure to drag Mark along, “Con, Mark, you've
got to ctoo. When Bowen cooks himself, it'd be rude to say no!”

Mark gritted his teeth. “Fine, I'll go.”
The oatmeal was almost mady. Bowen figured plain oatmeal was too bland, so he grabbed sseasonal
veggies to whip up a quick
salad was ready, Olle and Mark showed up.
Ollie’s eyes lit up when he saw the salad. “Damn, Bowen, you've got sserious skills”
Bowen served oatmeal and salad. The oatmeal was simple to make but looked decent, and the vegetable salad
turned out presentable with the nor plating, Ollie’s guard dropped completely
Mark eyed the vegetables suspiciously. Is this veggle even salad material?
Dowen waved them over. “Care for a taste?”
