"Wow! You cooked all of these dishes?" Edward said excitedly while looking at the food in disbelief. Most of the dishes were his favorites.
"Yes, but I don't know if you'll like Them." Daisy said with a stammer. Though Edward assured her that nothing had happened, she was still a bit worried.
"Wow! Mom, my favorite coca-chicken. Love you!" Then Justin jumped into Daisy's arms and gave her a big kiss. The way he spoke was quite similar to Edward.
"I thought what you really love is coca-chicken, not me!" Daisy said jokingly. Justin seemed to be so preoccupied with his studies that she hardly saw him all day.
"No. I love Coca-chicken. But what I love most has always been you, mom." Justin hugged her flatteringly as if to prove what he said was true.
"Really? But I think you love coca-chicken more than me." Daisy quipped, joking about his flattery.
"LOL. Mom, are you jealous of coca-chicken? Cheeky!" Justin stroked Daisy's face with his small hands.
"Yes. Yes, I'm jealous. I am not as important as coca-chicken to Justin. I'm heartbroken." Daisy said playfully. She knew how silver-tongued and playful Justin could be. But she chose to ignore it because she liked the way he held her.
"Mom, you are the most important person to dad. Right, Dad?" Justin looked up at Edward who was smiling happily, his eyes shining slyly.
His words struck Edward dumbfound. How was he suddenly involved in their joke?
"Yes. You and your mom are equally important to me. You both are indispensable for me." Edward replied quickly. His words were precise and witty.
Daisy was a bit embarrassed and changed the topic. "Bon appetite. Let's eat. Or the food will get cold." Then she put Justin on the chair and sat beside him quietly.
"Okay, Justin, let's find out if your mother is a good cook or not." Edward's look was full of expectation.
"Dad, mom is an excellent cook. Once you try her food you will definitely ask for more." Justin could vouch for Daisy's cooking skills. He knew her talent more than anyone.
"Okay. Let me give it a try." Then he put a spoonful in his mouth. As he chewed, the expression on his face was also changing constantly.
"Do you like it? Is it any good?" Daisy looked at Edward anxiously, desperate to hear an answer.
