Billionaire’s Missing Darling (Olivia and Daniel) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 

The circumstances changed and everyone stood in favor of Cynthia. They believed that diners were qualified to taste and judge the dishes, but they could not judge blindly and spout nonsense. If you felt that the soup 

1. it. was not good, you had to give some reasonable comments to prove 

Olivia looked up and did not say anything. 

Andrew was still young and did not know these things, but his mind was sharp and smart. He could sense that the atmosphere was unusual. 

The little boy jumped off the chair and ran to Olivia. He hugged her arm to comfort her. 

Olivia had got tired of all the quarrels today. She was unwilling to get involved at all. She had retorted previously only because Cynthia had gone too far. 

But now, backed with her little one’s comfort, boundless power suddenly rose in her heart. 

If she still flinched before challenges as usual and was unwilling to defend herself, then others would think that she was spouting nonsense. 

Olivia did not care about other people’s opinions at all. Other than a few family members, she did not care about anyone else in her life. 

However, things were different now. She cared about Andrew’s thoughts. She did not want to leave a bad impression on him. 

Thinking of this, Olivia carried Andrew on her lap and asked him softly, “Do you think that seared salmon tastes good?” 

Andrew felt that it was delicious, but he was determined to stand on the same side as Olivia. 

Hence, he tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying, “It doesn’t taste good. It’s too salty.” 

Olivia’s eyes lit up. She did not expect the little boy to be blessed with a sharp gustation. 

“You’re amazing!” Olivia scratched his little nose. 

Andrew was a little shy. He lowered his fair and tender little face, but his heart was blooming at Olivia’s praise. 

He was also awesome. 

Since he was so capable, did Sister Olivia like him more? 

Stop it Cynthia sneered. Her gaze was mocking. “Don’t hide behind a kid. 

Olivia ignored Cynthia’s sarcasm. Instead, she hugged Andrew and 

recalled. “Andrew, did you feel good when you took the first sip, but feel sweet after swallowing it all 

Andrew nodded. ‘Yeah. That’s sweet. 

Olivia petted his soft head. “It shouldn’t be just sweet. It should be a faint sweet. It seems to be sweet, but actually, there should be a slight difference. Because two of the ingredients were added in the wrong order, the taste is wrong as a result. 

Hearing this, Cynthia was shocked. She didn’t watch her cooking. How could she know? That’s impossible. 

When she chose to make seared salmon with herbed couscous, she heard that Daniel would be here, so she was a little distracted and added the ingredients in the wrong order. At that time, she was flustered, but when she took a sip later, the taste was not much different and nobody could not discover it. Only then did she feel relieved. 

Even the assistant in the kitchen didn’t know about such an accident. Why Olivia could find it? 

Olivia continued speaking. “There’s still one more ingredient that hasn’t been put in for too long, so it tastes a little bit tense. Or the taste would be better.” 

She talked as if she was having a class with Andrew. “Seared salmon with herbed couscous is reputed to be good for health, but health doesn’t mean a bad flavor. However, because it’s not cooked properly, this dish lost its original taste as it should be.” 

Olivia pointed out every shortcoming of this dish one after another and made an explanation for the causes, 

Andrew’s eyes widened as he listened with earnest attention. He kept exclaiming. So this dish was not a good one. 

However, the color drained from Cynthia’s rubicund face bit by bit. Her complexion was extremely pale, and she felt like standing on the verge of à cliff, about to collapse. 

Some of the drawbacks that Olivia mentioned were known to her, while others were exactly what she was unaware of. Because this was how her 

Paffionirs Missing Darling 

master had taught her, she did not know whether Olivia was right. 

However, there was no denying that this soup was indeed not good enough. 

She lowered her head, too ashamed to speak. She lost her wits and had no idea how to react to Olivia’s comments. 

Cooking was her life. She would not tolerate any blasphemy against this sacred career. She did not want to lie, but she did not dare to admit that Olivia was right and embarrass herself in front of Daniel. 

Her heart was torn apart in a tumult of feelings. She didn’t know what to 

say. 

Before she could make a decision, someone spoke up for her. It was an old customer. His tone was mocking. “Stop pontificating on cooking as if you’re an expert in cuisine. Seared salmon with herbed couscous is an exclusive specialty created by the Smith Cuisine Hall. It’s not available anywhere else. It’s not a normal dish that you can enjoy at other restaurants. Be humble!” 

“That’s right,” the other diners echoed one after another. “We’ve come here quite a few times, but we didn’t find any difference at all.” 

People’s support gave Cynthia courage. 

This dish was indeed not perfect, but it was not as worthless as what Olivia claimed. There were several flaws that she had never heard of. Her master had always been cooking it in the same way. 

That so–called reasonable faint sweet theory was simply made up by Olivia. 

It was probably because she had a sensitive tongue so she could taste the subtle differences in taste. 

At the thought of this, Cynthia’s heart was filled with boundless courage. She looked at Olivia with a faint smile and said in a mocking tone, “I didn’t expect Ms. Taylor to be talented in making up stories and telling nonsense in a logical way as if you’re a connoisseur. You almost deceived all of us.” 

Her tone changed as if she could not bear to expose Olivia. “However, it’s a pity. This dish is the Smith Cuisine Hall’s secret recipe. Only we know how to cook it. Ms. Taylor doesn’t even know how to make it, right? So how dare you to talk bullshit here! Shame on you!.”
