Chapter 2107 Is Your Wife Not At Home?
A major incident happened at Romo Street that night.
Miss Eiffie, the owner of Titan Tavern, that just brought the gold award home from the liquor-tasting event met with an assailant that robbed her after she closed her shop for the day.
The revenue of that day was robbed, and Eiffie and her servant, Mala, disappeared.
What was left was a pool of blood and a heap of
mess.
It was said that the place was even set on fire, but the kind new neighbor, Mr. Hades, found out in time and put out the fire, therefore reducing the amount of losses.
The next morning, this incident had spread to all taverns on Romo Street and then in Rodu.
Everyone could not help but discuss it.
"I can't believe something like this actually happened to Boss Eiffie. Life is really unfair."
"Yeah, Miss Eiffie is such a great person. How could this happen to her?"
"Let us pray for Miss Eiffie. Hope she's fine."
"Does that mean… Titan Tavern will disappear just like that?"
The neighbors had gathered to take a look at the scene that had been sealed off by the military. They all had a grave expression.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Mag asked Eiffie with a smile as he scooped up some porridge when he saw her coming down the stairs.
"Mm-hm. I slept very well."
Eiffie nodded. She was surprised that she could actually fall asleep the moment she lay on the bed, and it was an undisturbed sleep until morning. She had never slept so well in a long time.
"The bed is very comfortable. Thank you very much for last night," Eiffie said sincerely with a deep bow when she walked over to Mag.
"You're welcome. As neighbors, we should help each other." Mag shook his head. Thankfully, his wife was not home. Otherwise, if taken out of context, their conversation might lead to a misunderstanding.
Eiffie also realized what she said sounded a little strange, and she blushed. However, she quickly smelled the strong fragrance, and looked at the bowl in Mag's hand as she said, "It smells so good. Did you make this porridge?"
At the same time, her stomach grumbled.
"Yes. I made some porridge in the morning and also a few soup dumplings." Miss nodded. He turned off the stove for the bamboo steamer, and said, "If you're hungry, you can have some porridge. I'll wake the children up." "It's alright. I'm not—"
Grumble.
Eiffie still lost to her stomach, and received the bowl of porridge Mag passed to her.
The warm bowl was as settling as his hands, and that made Eiffie's heart flutter.
"Oh, right, is your wife not at home?" Eiffie asked curiously.
So much happened yesterday, and Mag even brought her and Mala back home, but she did not see his wife at all.
"Oh, she went back to her parents' house. I think she will be returning today." Mag gave a casual reply, took off his apron, and went upstairs.
Eiffie looked at Mag's back, and could not help but think to herself, Mr. Hades is such a nice man. He can make such a delicious breakfast even when he has to take care of his children alone. I really envy his wife… Mag came down very quickly to Eiffie, who was sipping on the porridge, and said, "Oh, right. The neighbors are all praying for you in front of your tavern, so I think you and Mala should just stay upstairs and not show yourselves.

"I am going to the court to get my statement recorded in a while. After that, I will be going to the black market to contact the person who gave the mission."
Eiffie did not expect Mag to come down so quickly. She placed her spoon down immediately, and nodded as she licked her lips. "Mm-hmm."
Mag looked at her and smiled as he pointed to the corner of her lips. "Porridge."
Eiffie quickly licked the corner of her mouth and blushed. "Is the food to your liking?" Mag asked as he sat in front of her.
"Mm-hmm. Your porridge is the best I've ever tasted." Eiffie nodded. These were her heartfelt words.
She hadn't tasted such delicious porridge before. The mysterious translucent and chewy ingredient as well as the tender lean meat and the smooth texture completely soothed her soul.
Very quickly, Amy and Annie came downstairs.
"Wow, are we having soup dumplings for breakfast today? My favorite!" Amy's eyes lit up when she saw the bamboo steamer stacked up high.
"Young Mistress." Mala sat beside Eiffie as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. However, she quickly got up again and greeted Mag.
Mag brought the soup dumplings over.
He did not have to say anything, and Amy was already teaching Eiffie and Mala how to pick the soup dumpling up and how to eat it.
Eiffie and Mala looked at Amy in shock. The meaty fragrance of the dumpling wafted in the air. When they watched the little one drink the soup, they could not help but swallow their saliva.
"Did you make this exquisite dumpling too, Mr. Hades?" Eiffie looked at Mag, who was sitting opposite her, in disbelief.
"Yes. I'm not sure if it would be to your liking." Mag nodded and took a soup dumpling for himself.

Eiffie picked up the soup dumpling like them. The thin dumpling skin was filled with soup. When she picked it up, the dumpling swayed from side to side, as though it would explode any moment. Eiffie put the dumpling on her plate carefully, and heaved a sigh of relief.
This soup dumpling is amazing. How did Mr. Hades wrap the soup so perfectly within such a thin layer of dumpling skin?
After that, Eiffie copied Amy, and bit a hole open in the dumpling.
The soup gushed out immediately, and she quickly put her mouth over the hole and took a sip.
Hot!
The soup in the dumpling, which was just taken off the stove, was still piping hot.
However, when the soup gushed into her mouth, her attention was all on the soup itself. It was intoxicatingly fresh, and that totally dispelled the stinging pain from its heat.
"Oh… This is a remarkable taste! It's an indescribable feeling!" Eiffie raised her beautiful brow. Compared to the porridge, this soup was intrusive and irresistible.
When she was almost done with the soup, Eiffie lifted her head up and licked her lips, wanting more. After that, she picked up the deflated dumpling with her chopsticks, and took a bite.
The dumpling skin was chewy, and the meat filling, which was submerged in soup, was fatty but not greasy. The texture was smooth, and it was another remarkable experience. "This is delicious!" Eiffie put her chopsticks down, and looked at Mag as she exclaimed, "Your culinary skills are amazing."
Yes. She was starting to get jealous of Irina.
The latter could marry such a gentle and meticulous man who was so good at cooking. How enviable.
"So good… Too good… I'm going to cry…" Mala held her bowl in both hands. She had already licked the soup cleanly, and her eyes were glimmering
"Have some more. There's enough." Mag put another dumpling in Mala's bowl. This young maiden is rather honest.
After breakfast, Eiffie and Mala volunteered to do the dishes, so Mag went straight out.
However, the moment he opened the door, the neighbors all swarmed over.
"Boss Hades, what happened last night?"
