Eric, too, was taken aback, completely mesmerized. So, Khloe had a skill for home cooking as well. Yet, he had never seen this side of her. Had she picked up these skills for someone else, perhaps Henrik?

Jealousy clouded Eric’s face at the thought. He resolved that he must speak with Khloe privately that day.

Suddenly, Tillie had an idea. She realized that preparing food on her own would be time-consuming and eyed Khloe. “Khloe, could you show us a few cooking tricks? I’ll make it worth your while by sharing my ingredients with you!”

“I want in too!” Adele immediately chimed in, her eyes sparkling.

Moya’s gaze also turned towards Khloe, filled with eager anticipation.

Khloe was open to the idea. She knew that energy was crucial for survival in the wilderness, and proper nourishment was key. Her prior aloofness had been a reaction to Giuliana’s aggression, not to these others who bore no ill will. Teaching them a few culinary skills seemed like a small gesture.

“What are you in the mood to cook tonight?” Khloe asked, continuing to enjoy her steak as she looked at Adele, Tillie, and Moya.

Once the three had decided on their menu, Khloe guided them through the process of gathering ingredients and showed them how to start a fire and manage the cooking, all the while offering tips that were straightforward but effective.

In no time, Adele, Tillie, and Moya happily devoured their creations, their delight noticeable.

“I can’t believe how delicious this is! I’m usually a disaster in the kitchen. I’ve ended up in the hospital before!” Adele exclaimed, overwhelmed with excitement.

The livestream viewers were again taken aback.

One viewer asked, “The dishes Khloe helped them create are amazing, but isn’t this getting a little over the top?”

“Not at all! I made pasta along with Adele, following Khloe’s instructions, and it was fantastic!”

“And I joined in when Khloe was teaching Moya to make a vegetable salad. It’s the best salad I’ve ever eaten!”

On the sidelines, Giuliana and Sloane watched, visibly seething as Khloe once again became the center of attention, their envy clear in their expressions. Rafael, on the other hand, looked on with respect and growing affection. Inspired by Khloe, he gathered some wild mushrooms, roasted them, and was contentedly full, while Giuliana and others were left hungry, subtly being handed energy bars by the crew.

Khloe observed this silently. After finishing her meal, she glanced at the fading fire and announced to Adele and the others, “I’m going to collect some more branches.”

On the island, the mosquito risk was real. Without any repellent, smoke was the next best deterrent, so Khloe planned to gather wet firewood and plants known for repelling insects.

Eric, unbeknownst to Khloe, followed her as she left the camp.

After they had put some distance between themselves and the camp, Eric hurried to catch up with Khloe and stepped in front of her, blocking her way.

As the last rays of dusk faded, Eric’s face was filled with a shadow of jealousy as he asked, “Khloe, you can shoot arrows and cook? Why didn’t you tell me? I never knew this about you!”

Had he been aware of Khloe’s many skills, he might not have so easily misjudged her.

“Who are you to demand answers from me?” Khloe responded coldly, raising her chin.

In the golden evening light, she seemed ethereal, her beauty striking.
