Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 262

Chapter 264

Hanson certainly knew the recipe. Thinking that it was easier than making dessert, he dipped his head. "We’ll do this, then."

Jack prepared the ingredients for him one more time and hoped that he wouldn’t fail again.

On the other hand, Hanson was ready. There was no way he couldn’t even prepare a dish. Isn't today the day I prove my worth?

Hanson, who had never bothered about household chores before, was holding a knife in his hand with confidence. However, when he was looking at the round tomato, he instantly fell into a dilemma. How should I even slice it?

He stared at the tomato in a way as though he could drill a hole in it with his eyes. Then, he placed the knife on the tomato and tried to get the perfect angle, but he still couldn’t slice it in the end.

Jack pressed his palm against his forehead, thinking that they might be mistaken. The man who had gotten together with their mommy in the past might not be Hanson after all.

There was no way their daddy was so dim-witted. These kids still hadn’t realized that while they were secretly lamenting, they had started calling him 'daddy' instead of a 'jerk'.

While they were not aware of it, they had accepted Hanson to be their daddy a long time ago.

Seeing how clumsy Hanson was, Jack decided to take matters into his own hands. "You have to cut a tomato like this."

After showing him how to do it, he uttered, "It's your turn."

Hanson gave Jack a thumbs-up for his dexterity, then imitated the child's move and sliced a tomato. Although it wasn’t finely cut, he had completed the task at the very least.

With the assistance from these kids, Hanson had finally prepared all the ingredients needed to make the dish.

Gazing at the ingredients in front of him, he let out a long breath, thinking that cooking was even more difficult than closing a deal that was worth 100 million.

Jack clapped his hands and said, "Since everything is ready, you can start pouring oil into the pan."

Hanson nodded and picked up the oil bottle. The next moment, he poured the entire content of the bottle into the pan.

The kids gasped, then one of them exclaimed, "Are you trying to fry yourself? Turn off the stove and scoop some oil!"

They were worried that the kitchen would be burned down.

A flustered Hanson hurriedly removed some oil from the pan. Then, he turned on the stove, but the flame was so hot that the oil soon started boiling. Left with no other choice, he instantly dropped all the ingredients into it at once.

The kids exclaimed, "Oh my…"

Jack, especially, let out a sigh and uttered in a lethargic manner, "You have to put eggs and tomatoes separately."

Gazing at the expressionless kids, Hanson asked, "Do I separate them now?"

The kids were so exasperated that they decided to ignore him. They didn’t think they’d have such a slow-witted father.

Just then, the ingredients started getting burned after Hanson stir-fried it a little.

The kids were certain about it since they could catch a whiff of a charred smell.

According to the recipe, it was time to add some seasoning. Meanwhile, Hanson was not aware everything in the pan was burned. While holding a seasoning box, he pondered what kind of seasoning he should use.

At this point, the kids had already given up on instructing him.

After giving it a thought, Hanson got a spoonful of every sort of seasoning and calmly dropped them into the pan.

Jack gulped and remained silent as he had already lost his appetite the moment Hanson poured the oil into the pan.

Nevertheless, Hanson could do whatever he wanted as long as he was happy.

Soon, the meal was ready to be served.
