Chapter 293
Tracy was indeed a state banquet chef. Her culinary skills were extraordinary. Even Mrs.
Sullivan, who had always insisted on eating less, had drunk two bowls.
If not for Mr. Brown's reminder, Mrs. Sullivan might even have a third bowl.
"This chicken soup is delicious.” Mrs. Sullivan reluctantly put down the bowl.
Tracy smiled. "Good that you liked it. It's already very late. I have to get going.”
"You're leaving?" Mrs. Sullivan was a little reluctant.
The culinary skills of famous chefs were too precious. She wanted Tracy to stay for a few more days.
However, it was not convenient for her to speak out and invite her.
After all, Tracy was the head chef of the state banquet. Moreover, she had not cooked personally for many years. A few years ago, Tracy was invited to continue to be the head chef of the state banquet, but she had rejected it.
Tracy had retired. She rarely appeared elsewhere besides the Smith Cuisine Hall and the restaurants opened by her students.
It was already a pleasant surprise that Olivia could invite her over. It would be impossible for her to stay further.
Everyone present could tell what Mrs. Sullivan was thinking.
But no one spoke.
Brad smoothed his sleeve before saying haughtily, "Tracy, why don't you stay and cook for us for a few more days?"
As he had been overseas for many years, Brad did not know much about the happenings in the country. He only knew that Tracy was a state banquet chef and one of the top chefs in the region. However, he did not hear that she had not cooked personally for the past few years.
He thought that he would be able to have her agree to his request as it was just a matter of money. Just like Olivia, he could also invite Tracy.
Mrs. Sullivan had given him a large sum of money over the years. He had used it for investments and thus accumulated a lot of wealth.
Tracy was just a chef. He could easily employ her services.
After saying that, Brad even looked at Olivia with a provocative gaze. "Tracy, don't worry. I will compensate you well. As long as you're willing to stay and cook a few meals, I will give you double what Olivia paid you."
"Double?" Tracy laughed.
Her restaurants were all over the country. She had become a brand in the food industry. She had earned more than enough money. It was a joke that someone had used money to entice her.
Tracy did not know whether to laugh or be angry.
"Yes." Brad's tone was firm. "As long as you're willing to stay, I'll give you double whatever Olivia gave you."
Mrs. Sullivan sat at the side. Her eyes started to well up after she saw how determined and considerate Brad was in trying to help her convince Tracy to stay.
His biological son, Daniel, had never been so concerned about her.
On the other hand, Brad was always considerate of her. He was generous with his money so that she could enjoy Tracy's cooking.
However, she did feel that Brad's behavior was inappropriate and disrespectful.
Despite his behavior, she was nonetheless touched by Brad's actions.
What a good child!
Brad had been observing Mrs. Sullivan's expression. He knew he had done the right thing when he saw her eyes well up.
He knew Mrs. Sullivan's personality well. He knew that she would fall for his tricks.
Brad had always acted like that since he was a child. No matter what good stuff he got, he would give it to Mrs. Sullivan first. No matter what he did, he would tell Mrs. Sullivan first.
He loved her with all his heart. He relied on her wholeheartedly.
He was a stark contrast to Daniel. Daniel was smart. However, he was also mischievous and a little distant from his mother.
Brad held Mrs. Sullivan's hand and said gently in an emotional tone, "You're like a mother to me. You raised me yourself. When I was young, I swore that I would be filial when I grew up.
Even if it's the stars in the sky, I'll pluck them for you. Something as simple as this isn't even worth mentioning.”
“Oh, why would I need you to pluck stars for me?" Mrs. Sullivan turned her face away. Her heart had melted.
Her efforts back then were not in vain. Brad had grown up to be someone with filial piety and consideration.
"Tracy." Brad turned to Tracy. "Tell me how much to pay you. No matter how much it is, I'll give it to you. I'll double the amount Olivia gave you!"
Tracy looked up at Brad. She felt awkward. After a while, she said, “Olivia didn't give me money.”
Hearing that, Brad raised his eyebrows. His voice turned icy. "That's insensible of her.”
