Not long after Huston left, Evelyn also finished washing her hands and followed him out. The table was set with utensils and dishes, and Sadie's cooking skills were naturally praiseworthy. Even Huston, who was so picky, was satisfied, let alone the others.
Sure enough, while eating, Cathy couldn't help but exclaim, "Huston, the maid you hired is such a great cook, even better than me."
Huston lightly nodded his head. He didn't say much during the meal.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment, and there was only the sound of utensils touching the dining table. Evelyn wanted to lighten the mood, but her memory gap made her hesitant to say much.
On the other hand, Renee seemed to be in a good mood, as the matter of her admission to graduate school had been settled.
Evelyn had a bowl of soup, and the delicious taste filled her mouth. Before she could savor it fully, she saw the bottom of the bowl. She wanted to get another bowl but hesitated because Cathy was here, and it wouldn't be appropriate to reach for it herself.
Usually, Sadie would help her add more, but unfortunately, Sadie was cleaning up in the kitchen.
Just as she was contemplating whether to ask for more soup or not, suddenly, a pair of well-defined hands appeared in her sight, and the next second, her bowl was taken away.
Evelyn looked up and saw Huston, who was lowering his head, carefully ladling soup for her and removing the excess oil to make it lighter.
Evelyn looked at him in surprise. How did he know that she wanted to drink soup?
This scene also caught Cathy's eye. She knew her son's personality; he had always been aloof and often wouldn't express his feelings. She had gradually grown accustomed to him being this way.
But it was the first time that Cathy had seen him get along with Evelyn, and she felt a little upset.
