He cut a pat of butter and dropped it in, letting it melt into the mixture.

"Do you want me to teach you how?"

In fact, Erica also wanted to have a try. She nodded immediately,

“Sure! Sounds like fun!" With just a few words and a pleasant scent, all the stress she felt from Tessie and Tam melted away. She was focused on making chocolate.

Matthew just stood there. He looked at her in disgust and said, "Go wash your hands."

‘Oh... I haven't washed my hands yet..."

She went to the sink, turned on the tap and quickly washed her hands.

Then she took out a few tissues to wipe her hands and ran over.

"I'm all washed up now. Let me at it!"

Matthew put down the tools in his hands and moved over.

As soon as she got the spoon, Erica started to stir the mixture in the glass container Like him.

“Do I need to put anything else in it?”

“Yes. The rum. I'll go get some.”

“Okay, go ahead. I'll take care of this." Erica continued to stir the mixture enthusiastically

Matthew wanted to tell her to slow down, but then he decided against it. He went upstairs to get the rum.

When Matthew came downstairs with the rum, he heard a loud bang from the kitchen.

He was sure the sound came from there.

Suddenly, he had a bad feeling. He quickened his pace and went back into the kitchen.

There was no sign of Erica there. He took a few steps forward and saw the dumbfounded girl squatting on the ground.

The ground was a mess. The glass container had fallen to the ground and broken into several pieces. A gooey mess met his eyes, spreading over the kitchen floor.

Seeing Matthew come over, Erica apologized in a timid voice, "I... I didn't mean to." She stared at the broken glass container. Someone had to clean this up. She figured that was her job.

As soon as she reached out for the shards. Matthew immediately stopped her.

"Don't move!"

But it was too late. The glass fragment scratched Erica's hand. She cried out, "Ah!"

Blood oozed out from her finger.
