NovelEnglishChapter 1385 Everett grabbed a pair of cozy slippers for Jeffrey as soon as he stepped in, and with a tone mixed with seriousness and curiosity, he asked, "So, what goes into making that ginger ale remedy? I can send Kevin to pick up whatever we need, and you could teach me." It was clear he was here to learn. After all, if it meant he could whip up something to soothe Dorothy's morning sickness, he was all in.

"No need for Kevin to run errands; I've brought everything with me!" "Fresh ginger, then? What else?" Following Jeffrey into the kitchen, Everett was eager to see the ingredients, thinking it wise to stock up on whatever was needed. With no clear end to Dorothy's morning sickness in sight, if this ginger ale remedy worked, he'd have to make sure they always had son hand.
But then, Jeffrey, after rummaging through his bag, triumphantly pulled out a small packet! "Ta-da! Here it is!" he said, flashing a grin at Everett, "Instant ginger ale mix!" Everett was momentarily speechless, almost feeling the urge to call for help.
Jeffrey went on to explain, "All you need is water. Mix one packet with a liter, shake it well, refrigerate, and it's ready! And don't worry about it being cold; I checked with the doctor, and it's fine for Dorothy to have it occasionally. This stuff really works wonders for morning sickness!" Everett, frowning deeply, held the packet skeptically.
"Dorothy mentioned that Karen told her you made it from scratch." Jeffrey hushed his voice, conspiratorially whispering, "When have I ever set foot in a kitchen, let alone make something like this? But if I told Karen it was instant, she'd think was half-assing it. Knowing it was handmade' by me, though? She was over the moon, kept singing my praises!" "You lied to her." "It's a white lie!" Jeffrey pressed the ginger ale mix into Everett's hand. "Look, I call this way in the dead of night as a favor. You can't blow my cover! Just say I taught you step by step, or I'm dead meat." Jeffrey had been fretting over what to do ever since Everett's call. He was the last person you'd find in a kitchen, always having been waited on hand and foot. But outright refusal would not only raise Karen's suspicions but also disappoint Everett.

"You can't leavehanging! Besides, look at how convenient and quick this is. Mix it now, and Dorothy can have it the next tshe fee she feels sick of we were to actually brew it, we wouldn't finish before tonight." Everett wasn't hesitating about the deception; instead, he was scrutinizing the ingredient list on the back of the instant mix packet. Convenience was one thing, but Everett was concerned about additives. "Trust me, it's totally safe. Would I
give anything harmful to Karen, especially when she's carrying my daughter? Jeffrey winked, "I've got more stashed in my office drawer. I'll bring you sfrom work tomorrow! Bought a bunch and left it at the office, didn't dare bring it home."
He even had it shipped directly to the Lopez Building! The content is on novelenglish.net!
