Chapter 153 A ‘Good’ Cook
“Did it take him an hour? But Jacob said he needed until 10 pm at least.” “Such an impressive
performance. Whose child was that?” “You should’ve seen the faces of those shareholders who tried to
stop the boy.”
Meanwhile, by the time the father and son arrived on Muse Peninsula, it was already six in the evening.
At this time, Gianna was seen to be very busy with cooking, wishing she had more than two hands.
Nevertheless, she finally saw the meaning of cooking for the first time. Fortunately, I still had Kate to
help me in the morning, but when it came to the afternoon, I had to do it all myself because everyone
else was sleeping. The kitchen was in a mess as she had never been swamped with the preparation all
by herself. While her hair appeared to be unkempt, she didn’t even pay attention to the burn mark on
her hand. After quickly cleaning up the kitchen, she hurriedly got changed just when the doorbell rang.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, she answered the door and was greeted by South and Silas with a bottle of red wine in his hand.
“You guys are fast! I didn’t know you’d bring some wine, so I bought some ahead,” Gianna said while
Silas could tell that she was still catching her breath.
“Keep your wine. We’ll save it for next time.” Perhaps our next dinner date is already planned ahead.
“Mom, look. This is what Uncle Silas bought you.” South handed a shoebox over to his mother, who
received it in surprise. “What’s this?”
“It’s a pair of shoes. You need to stop wearing high heels at home. It’s bad for your posture, plus you’re
not short at all.” Silas’s words reminded her of the moment she nearly fell down earlier in the morning.
Well, that’s a ‘good’ way to lighten up a conversation! Gianna then smiled awkwardly and said, “Thank
you. Please come in.” After changing into a pair of flip-flops, Silas excitedly shared with Gianna about
what had happened. “South took less than five minutes to solve a problem that our tech department
had been spending hours on. He did an amazing job!” However, Gianna wasn’t surprised by that.
“There is usually nothing he can’t sort out.” Upon hearing her reply, Silas couldn’t help but wonder how
she was able to teach her child so well, even though she wasn’t with him most of the time. “It’s all
thanks to the way you educated him!” “Well, I’m not going to claim credit for this one because it was my
senior who discovered his talent and subsequently found him a tutor. Surprisingly, he’s improved a lot
over time,” Gianna answered.
It’s that senior again?! Silas felt a little jealous, as he had seemingly grown tired of hearing her
mentioning him. “Yeah, your kid is smart indeed.”
After that, they entered the dining area and were soon greeted by a table full of dishes, with some
looking burnt while the others appearing bland. At the sight of that, Silas couldn’t help but chuckle,
certain that it was Gianna who cooked them all. In the meantime, Gianna awkwardly scratched her
head and said, “This is my first time cooking. So, I don’t know how it’ll taste, but please… help
yourself.” Silas nodded and sat down while South came closer and looked at those dishes with his eyes
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlit up. “Mom, did you make all this?”
Gianna nodded in response, whereupon her son complimented her, “You’re awesome, Mom!” Soon,
Gianna raised her eyebrows at South, “Here is your little dish.” Despite the havoc she had throughout
the afternoon, Gianna still felt glad and accomplished for preparing every single dish on the table.
Meanwhile, Silas, who was sitting aside and watching them, was touched and moved by their
heartwarming interaction, feeling a strong sense of belonging. South is such a good boy, even knowing
how to make his mom happy. After that, Silas poured some red wine for the lady and himself. On the
other hand, as Gianna watched the red wine worth six figures being poured into the wine glasses, she
felt a little awkward because she wasn’t sure whether the food would compliment the wine. Oh dear! Is
the wine going to be wasted if he is not satisfied with the meal?
