Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 261

Chapter 263

"What's more, you have the four of us helping you!"

"That's right! I'm sure you can do it!" the four children answered in unison once more.

Hanson stood up. "Then, I guess I can only lay my life down and obey your orders."

They waved their hands dismissively. "It's not that serious."

A short while later, they realized their mistake.

Hanson finally had the chance to cook for the first time in his life. Looking at the complex appliances, he was filled with absolute confusion as he kept asking, "What is this? And, what about this..."

The four children became increasingly annoyed with him as they answered all his questions expressionlessly.

Listening to their complicated explanations, the Young Master of the Luke Family who stood above everybody else finally encountered a problem that was more challenging than dealing with the four children. It's just making a meal. How can there be so many things?!

James held the recipe for making the dessert in hands while Jack took out all the necessary utensils and arranged them while Jacob stood by the side and issued instructions. "You need to knead the dough first."

Hanson stared at the flour, then he looked at the basin of water. Without the slightest hesitation, he poured all the water into the flour.

"Don't… Sigh." James was just about to stop Hanson, but it was already too late. It was obvious that there was too much water.

Hanson never expected this outcome. Blinking his eyes blankly, he poured a little more flour into the mixture. However, he felt that it still wasn't right and added a little more water again… This back-and-forth cycle continued until he finished the entire bag of flour. In the end, he still failed to produce anything.

All four children watched him working in exasperation.

Meanwhile, he continued to frown and experimented with the thing in his hands. It was clear that he had no intention of giving up as there were only five steps in total. How could he possibly fail?

On the other hand, the four children were holding their heads in their hands. Why did we let Hanson into the kitchen?

At this point, they could no longer bear to watch what he was doing anymore.

He placed the blobs of unidentifiable objects into the oven and turned the dials on the device. Then, he smiled in satisfaction. Just as he was walking toward the four children so that they could praise him for his efforts, he heard a loud explosion coming from behind. The noise was immediately followed by a burnt smell.

Therefore, the five of them immediately turned to look in that direction. They were the perfect living interpretation of the phrase 'A look of confusion on their faces'. Black smoke was coming from the oven.

"W-What did you do?" James' expression was confused.

Likewise, Hanson looked bewildered as he did not know what was going on.

All four children and Hanson glanced at each other before they hurriedly turned off the oven. The dough inside had turned into charcoal.

He looked at the pile of charcoal and sighed before he tossed it in the trash.

Jacob imagined what the dessert should have looked like. No matter how badly it was made, it's practically impossible to be this bad. Besides, why did the oven burn too?

"What did you do to the oven?"

Hanson answered innocently, "I just adjusted the temperature."

The temperature? James looked at the oven. The temperature had been set to the highest. Thus, he felt helpless for a moment.

Uh… Jacob was also stunned by the situation. I should never have allowed Hanson to make dessert.

Jack waved his hand. "Forget it."

However, Hanson had no wish to give up halfway. He was still quite keen on giving Vania a surprise dinner. "Why don't we try again?"

All four children quickly waved their hands in dismissal. "Let's just forget it. The oven is broken anyway. There's no way to remake the dessert."

Jack tentatively suggested. "Why don't I teach you how to make a simple dish instead?"

Jacob agreed. "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are the easiest to make. I'm sure you can master that."
