Unchained Desire

Ruby didn't have time to scold Ethan. She hurriedly picked up the food on the floor and threw it all into the nearby trash can.

Ruby turned her head away in shame, "It's nothing, Ethan was being disobedient, and I was scolding him."

"I wasn't being disobedient," Ethan argued loudly, then started crying again, "You said that delicious food should be saved to eat slowly."

"Enough!" Ruby was so angry she felt dizzy, but with Phoebe there, she didn't want to let her know about such an embarrassing matter. She suppressed her anger, her voice seething through her teeth, "Do you know that cooked food goes bad after a day?"

Phoebe had seen the food on the floor earlier-chicken legs, fries, jerky, and other things from the past few days.

Hearing Ruby's scolding, she almost guessed what had happened.

Ethan had lived a hard life before, and there were many things he hadn't eaten, so he cherished them and would hide the food he couldn't bear to eat, thinking he could eat it slowly. But Ethan didn't know that food had a shelf life and would go bad if left for too long. The smell in the house probably made Ruby discover his hidden food, which led to her outburst. Phoebe felt heartbroken and didn't know what to do.
