"You''re practically old enough to be his mother! God, you really are shameless..."


    Of course, Betty did not back down from Lacey''s protests either. She put her hands on her hips, screaming at Lacey in response.


    "You demon of a child! You''d be detained till next year if I hadn''t gotten Mister Penn to bail you out! What are you going to do about me liking Mister Penn, huh? Get out of my house if you don''t like it. You can go wherever you want!"


    Wilbur sighed at the sight of the mind-boggling argument happening before him, returning to his room instead.


    There was a knock on the door barely three minutes after Wilbury down in bed, followed by Lacey''s voice.


    "Hello? Wilbur, are you resting? It''s still pretty early, do you want some food?"


    Wilbur got up and opened the door to Lacey having changed into some more casual clothes, which made her look a lot more pleasing to the eye.


    "It''s fine if your cooking''s even worse than your mother''s. But if it''s good, I''ll consider paying you extra. I''m just curious as to how you and your mother settle arguments like that when they happen?"


    "What does it look like? We''ll just have to get the man based on our own skills! Besides, I refuse to believe you''d even look at a hag like Betty Lent. Anyone in their right mind would prefer a young littledy unless you''ve got some weird kink."


    Lacey stuck out her chest at Wilbur as if to prove a point.


    Wilbur raised his hands in surrender. "You know what, let''s not talk about that. It''s going to take me a while to get used to this open-minded mindset over here. Please tell me what you can make and whip up a few good dishes for me! Oh, and free up your night for me if you can. I''d like to know what you know about Wencoven!"


    Lacey knew that this was a golden opportunity and could hardly nod fast enough. "But of course! I can whip up a feast! However, with this cold temperature, I think some warm soup would be best. Give me a second and I''ll get it all sorted out for you!"


    Lacey disappeared from sight after that.


    Wilbur returned to his room for another twenty minutes or so, until Betty came upstairs to call him out to eat.


    Lacey and Eliana were in the middle of stirring up a huge pot in the corner of the diner on the first floor, but there was also another tall, gorgeous blond woman there.


    She looked to be in herte thirties but had smoking hot curves with a perfect face to match.


    She had a fiery glint in her eyes, her full lips radiating a seductive aura.


    Thedy was fashionably dressed as well, wearing a miniskirt despite the freezing cold weather.


    Any other man would have fallen for her in a heartbeat!


    Lacey was worried that Wilbur might back out of his deal at the sight of a foreign face and hurried over to exin to him, "Wilbur, this is Eliana''s mom, Monica. She''s just here for a free meal. Pay her no mind."
