Tobias gently patted Skylar’s head. “What are you afraid of? An ugly daughter-in-law will have to face
her parents-in-law sooner or later. Besides, you’re only going to meet mother-in-law today. Come on,
it’s not your first time meeting my mom.”
Skylar didn’t know much about Tobias’ father as he rarely talked about him. The only information she
had was Tobias’ father was still alive. He had a daughter and a son, and her daughter was Ingrid, the
crazy woman.
Patricia opened the door for them. Skylar nodded and smiled at her.
She was a little surprised to see Winnie behind Patricia.
The two of them had been ripping on each other maliciously on the internet, and paying verified
Instagram account to slander each other. But, on the surface, they still manage to pretend to be polite.
Claudia came down from upstairs. She was wearing a dark blue dress, with a hairpin on her hair. She
didn’t look her age. Obviously, she had been taking good care of her skin.
Skylar wondered if Claudia had gotten an anti-wrinkle injection before. People would definitely believe
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe was in her fifties.
Winnie immediately held her arm lovingly as soon as Claudia got down. From the corner of her eyes,
she gave Skylar a provocative stare.
“Mrs. Ford, it’s almost dinner time. Today, I’ve prepared pan-seared steak, scalloped potatoes, and
grilled salmon for you. Sheldon told me that you like to eat fish. I specially learn to cook grilled salmon,
thinking to impress you with my cooking skill.”
Claudia rested her hand on the back of Winnie’s hand. “That’s very kind of you. It’s not easy to make
grilled salmon perfectly. Looks like my son could satisfy his taste buds in the future. How lucky!”
Skylar could remember Winnie’s public persona clearly. In a reality show, she presented herself as
someone who didn’t know how to cook. She was even scared to turn on the stove and ended up
covering her ears. Bullet screen comments flew across the screen.
Winnie is so adorable.
Don’t be scared Winnie. I will cook for you for the rest of my life.
Sob… Winnie, you did a great job.
Someone who didn’t even know how to turn on the stove knew how to cook grilled salmon. The phony
b*tch was obviously putting on an act.
Claudia didn’t even bother looking at Skylar from the moment she entered the house. It was such an
uncomfortable feeling to be treated differently.
However, she felt a little relieved. At least, Claudia wasn’t overreacting like she how she did before.
Back then, she couldn’t wait to chase her out anytime.
There was a total of five people, but only three dishes were on the dining table. It was all prepared by
Winnie. Besides, the portion was small. It was the first time they officially met the elders. Claudia’s
attitude was obvious towards Winnie and Skylar.
Before sitting down, Skylar had already noticed that there were only four sets of cutlery on the table.
Tobias placed his cutlery in front of Skylar. Then, Claudia immediately got Patricia to take out another
set of cutlery.
“I thought Ms. Jones is on diet.”
Skylar’s brows drew together. How did she know that I’m on diet? Or perhaps it was Winnie who told
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher about it.
But how could they not prepare her cutlery? Even if she was on diet.
Skylar was very polite. “Mrs. Ford, I’m not intentionally losing weight recently. Girls should take care of
their bodies. It’s not good to be too skinny, it looks unhealthy.”
Sheldon remained silent until he cut off a slice of the steak and put it in his mouth. He gave Winnie a
thumbs up and said, “Dear, you cook really well. The steak is very tender.”
Winnie said, “Mrs. Ford, I’ve included lemon juice in my marinade and left it for a few hours to soften
the steak. So that it wouldn’t be too tough or too chewy for you.”
Skylar stood up and took out her handmade mille crepe cake, hoping that Claudia would show her
some respect. She said, “Mrs. Ford, I made this dark chocolate peanut butter crepe cake. It has dark
chocolate, peanut butter, and whipped cream in between.”
Skylar had a talent for cooking. The cake she made looked beautiful. It was even better than those
from the bakery.
Claudia showed an indifferent look at the cake on the table. She didn’t even bother to taste it.
She twitched her lips. “You really love those fancy things. Do you know how unhygienic it is? Did you
wear disposable gloves when you were making the cake?”
