A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 82

Johnson Xia told the story as slowly and calmly as he could, but the trembling voice gave him away, which somehow made Linda felt like crying.

They all said Johnson Xia married Sherry Nalan merely for the interest of his family. But judging from his tone, Linda believed that he had truly loved Sherry Nalan.

And the smile on his face when he talked about her, it could only be found on those who loved someone so deeply with all their hearts.

"Alright. Come on, let's go make dumplings. I'm starving, and I have to eat on time according to Dr. Xu's instruction."

Wiping off the sadness in his face, Johnson xia turned to Linda and Charles Mu with a tender look.

"Fine. Father, can you show me how to make the filling? I want to learn and help Linda next time we make dumplings." said Charles Mu.

And one of his hands was intimately around Linda's waist while he talked to Johnson Xia.

Father? Johnson Xia was stunned for a second before he realized that Charles Mu was addressing him... He was not quite used to the change from Lord Xia to father so quickly.

"Knock it off! I can chop pork and make my own filling. I don't need your help." Linda rolled her eyes at Charles Mu but then answered with a smile.

"I don't think so. What if you cut your fingers? It's killing me to see you get hurt."

Looking slightly pink, Linda said nothing back. This man seemed to always have a way to put her at a loss for words.

Gathering all the ingredients, they went into the kitchen. Linda was cleaning the vegetables and Bun was doing the cutting.

Charles Mu, however, was observing Johnson Xia chopping the pork and making the filling with great interest. The earnestness in his eyes somehow made Linda want to giggle.

Linda was quite familiar with the whole process and so the preparation was done in a jiff.

And Linda was actually surprised at how proficient Johnson Xia was in making the filling. He was not lying. He must have done it a lot in the past.

Now that they were gathering around the table, Linda started to chat with her father while making dumplings.

There were so many things she wanted to know about her birth mother Sherry Nalan. Linda had always had a feeling that her mother was a woman of secrets and mystery.

And yet she die so suddenly... It was such a pity.

"Father, I have a picture of mother. She seems so elegant and graceful. Isn't it amazing that such a well-born lady like my mother could make dumplings?"

"Aren't you the lady of our Xia clan?"

"Well, it's different... Considering the fact that I grew up in an ordinary family..."

Johnson Xia meant to say that Linda was also a respected lady, but he forgot that actually Linda had hardly enjoyed her life before she was found back.

And it was all his fault, Which made Johnson Xia felt more guilty.

Johnson Xia stared Linda with a mixed feeling for a while, and then he reached for the tea cup. After taking a small sip, he continued, "Don't be fooled by your mother. She did look like a quiet and graceful lady when she was not talking. But she was actually quite lively, and always whimsical and energetic. She loved travelling, you know. Just as much as she loved to take me around with her. She was also a big fan of cooking. And do you know what the most incredible part was? It was her business acumen. The Xia company would never have achieved so far without her. But the company was over the hill after her death, and it just kept sliding down... Well..."
