After Giving Birth, All My Beast Ex-Husbands Suddenly Want Me Back Chapter 59: An accident

"Leah, you’re here again?"

Nina was a little surprised. Leah had co again today—and she had brought along a female Nina didn’t recognize.

"Nina, this is my mother, Teah. She said she wanted to co and see you," Leah explained.

"Hello, Nina." Teah smiled gently. "Leah is always telling what a wonderful female you are. I heard you gave birth the day before yesterday, so I wanted to visit you and see the little ones. I hope you don’t mind."

"Of course not," Nina replied with a smile. "Please have a seat in the yard for a mont. I’ll tidy up a bit and co right out."

She returned inside, settled the egg babies down, and picked one up. Turning to the others, she said softly, "Babies, the hide-and-seek ga is starting again. Be good, alright?"

The eggs wobbled obediently.

After giving them a gentle pat, Nina stepped outside.

The mont she appeared, Leah ran over eagerly. "Nina! Can I hold the baby?"

With a smile, Nina handed the egg to her.

Leah cradled it happily, practically glowing with joy. Today, the little one was hers to cuddle.

Then she glanced at Mino and Yanai and frowned. "Nina... what happened to their faces? Why are they so swollen?"

"We went to take down a beehive this afternoon," Nina replied lightly, suppressing another laugh. Seeing that it was nearly dinner ti, she added, "Have you eaten yet? I’m planning to grill at tonight. Would you like to join us?"

Leah’s eyes lit up. "Yes! I’ll stay for dinner. Can my mother join too?"

"Of course. But should we invite Minnie and Bibi as well? I’m not sure if they’ve eaten yet."

"I’ll have one of my mates check. At this hour, they probably haven’t started cooking."

She casually sent one of her mates to fetch them.

anwhile, Nina asked Mino to prepare the at and had Yanai set up a temporary cooking area—two fires, one for stone-pot grilling and one for open-fla roasting.

Soon, Minnie and Bibi arrived, bringing fruit with them.

"Nina, Leah’s mate said you were treating us to grilled at, so we brought so fruit for you," Minnie said, handing them over.

"Thank you," Nina replied warmly. "Go ahead and sit down. We’ll start grilling soon."

Worried they might be hungry, she began with the stone-pot grill.

She brushed a layer of oil onto the heated stone surface, placed the at on top, and added minced garlic and other seasonings to enhance the aroma.

The fragrance quickly spread through the air.

Leah and the others stared at the sizzling at, practically drooling.

"Nina, what did you just add? It slls amazing!" Minnie asked.

"It’s called garlic. It adds fragrance to dishes. You can find it in the forest behind the mountain. Later, I’ll show you what the whole plant looks like so your mates can gather so."

As she stirred the at, the rich aroma grew stronger.

Soon, the first batch was ready. Nina served each of them a bowl and handed out chopsticks.

She demonstrated how to use them. Leah and the others learned quickly—and even those who struggled managed to scoop food straight from their bowls.

After the first bite, Leah sighed in delight. "Nina, cooking at like this in a stone pot is incredible! I’m making my mate do it this way from now on."

"Nina, what did you brush on the pot earlier?" Bibi asked.

"That was rendered pork fat. Slice fatty pork thinly and cook it in the stone pot until it releases oil. Store the oil in a bamboo container—it keeps for a while. Or you can simply rub a thin slice of fat over the pot before grilling. It prevents sticking and burning."

"Oh!" Bibi nodded, turning imdiately to her mate. "Did you morize everything Nina said? I want this again tomorrow."

"Yes, I rember," her mate answered carefully.

Just as Nina reached to grill another batch, Mino gently took the wooden spatula from her hand. "Nina, I’ve got it. You eat first—I’ll grill."

After eating a few bites, Nina asked the others, "Would you like to try grilling yourselves? We’ll do open-fla grilling this ti. It’s simple."

"I want to!" Minnie volunteered eagerly. Females usually didn’t cook their own food—this was new and exciting.

Leah and Bibi eagerly agreed.

Nina handed each of them a skewer.

Reluctantly, Leah passed the egg baby to her mate. "Hold it properly. If you drop it, you’re not sleeping beside for the rest of your life."

Her mate inhaled sharply and held the egg as if it were the most fragile treasure in the world.

One drop and my happiness is over, he thought grimly.

Nina dipped a small brush into oil and coated the at. "Start by brushing oil like this."

They copied her carefully.

"Now place it over the fire. Turn it after a short while. Don’t let it burn."

She demonstrated, then brushed honey lightly over her skewer. "When it reaches this stage, add a little honey. If it’s drying out before it’s cooked through, brush more oil."

They followed her movents exactly.

The skewers cooked quickly.

"It’s ready. Try what you made—but be careful, it’s hot."

Minnie blew on hers and took a bite. Her eyes widened. The flavor was rich and sweet.

"This is amazing! I made this!"

Leah and Bibi tasted theirs and sighed in satisfaction.

"Mine’s better than what my mate makes—so fragrant and tender!" Leah exclaid.

"Honestly, what have we been eating all this ti? These useless mates should kneel on pebbles. This is way better than what they cook," Bibi declared.

"Exactly. If not for Nina, we’d never taste sothing this good," Minnie added.

Nearby, the "useless mates" trembled silently.

Nina chuckled.

Teah, however, stared at Nina while eating, a flicker of struggle crossing her eyes.

But rembering what Tali had told her, she suppressed her guilt.

She picked up a bamboo tube of water and deliberately knocked it over.

"Ah!" she cried, jumping to her feet.

Everyone turned toward her.

"Mother, what happened?" Leah asked.

"I accidentally spilled the water," Teah said. Then she looked at Nina. "Nina, could I borrow a fur skirt to change into? This one’s wet and uncomfortable."

"Of course. Wait a mont—I’ll get you a new one."

Nina hurried inside and returned with three brand-new fur skirts. "See which one you like. They’re all new. You can keep whichever you prefer—no need to return it."

Teah selected one with tiger-pattern markings. "This one."

"Alright. You can change in that stone room," Nina said, pointing to the bathing room.

Teah hesitated slightly. "May I change in your room instead?"
