Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 

“Ulric!” Cadence couldn’t help but move forward, directly blocking Ulric’s view. She affectionately tugged at his sleeve and said, “Ulric, come and try the dishes I made” 

Ulric withdrew his gaze, smiling indulgently. “Alright, I’ll taste our superstar’s cooking” 

Cadence blushed again, glancing over at Melody with a cold sneer in her heart. 

Cadence thought, ‘Ulric must have just glanced over subconsciously. There’s no way he has any interest in that woman!‘ 

She pulled Ulric to the table, personally feeding him a piece of shalone, then koked at him expectantly. 

Ulric swallowed and generously gave a thumbs–up. “You have truly grown up. Any man who marries you will be very fortunate.” 

Cadence’s heart fluttered, but the tabou kept her from waying more. She just smiled and curled her lips.. 

At this moment, Margaret noticed Melody walking over and waved her hand. “Melody, you’re finally heret Come quickly. The roast lamb is almost ready!

rable. 

Melody quickened her pace and placed her tray on 

“Melody, what did you make? Margaret asked curiously. 

Melody smiled and opened the first lid. 

Cadence stood by, expecting everyone to see Melody’s meager country dishes. However, when the lid was lifted, a rich sour and spicy aroma mixed with the scent of duck filled the air. 

She 

he was momentarily stunned and hurriedly looked into the casserole. 

Inside, the old duck meat was partially submerged in a rich but not greasy broth, the golden yellow paired with pickled peppers making it look incredibly appetizing 

dence had to admit that this dish’s aroma alone made one’s mouth water. 

But she didn’t know how Melody made the dish. 

She had left very few ingredients for Melody, yet the dish she made looked more appetizing than any of her owIL 

Meanwhile, Margaret couldn’t wait after smelling the aroma and had a servant serve her a small piece. 

The duck meat, simmered to the point of melting in the mouth without losing its original flavor, was entirely devoid of its usual gamey taste, replaced by a full–bodied savory flavor. 

One bite in. Margaret didn’t even have time to praise it before taking a second bite. 

The second bate led to a third, and soon enough, she had devoured some duck meat. 

Only after finishing did Margaret find the time to look at Melody in amazement. “Melody, what is this dish It tastes like duck, but there’s no gamey flavor at all. 

“This is my homemade duck, It’s meant to be appetizing, and the broth is very nourishing, just right for you,” Melody said. 

“I love this dish!” Margaret’s eyes narrowed in satisfaction. 

“Is it really that amazing?” Astrid muttered to herself and took a scoop as well 

The moment the broth hit her julate, she was overwhelmingly satisfied. 

Astrid was stunned. 

The Swanson family’s chefs were highly paid hires, yet even the best dishes from those chefs couldn’t compete with Melody’s duck 

Astrid thought. This wretched woman indeed is good at cooking 

However, Astrid couldn’t bring herself to praise Melody out loud. She pouted and forced herself not to take a second bite. 

But ultimately, she couldn’t resist the aroma and quietly asked a servant to get her some.

Ulric was also drawn by the aroma and took a piece of duck meat. 

He chewed silently for a few seconds, then looked at Melody and said, “Miss Fox, you are truly impressive. Not only are your medical skills. outstanding, but your cooking is exceptional 100. If you ever open a restaurant, I will be the first to invest. 

Melody briefly forced a polite smile and then looked over at Ken. 

But Ken was not looking at her, instead staring coldly at his phone, 

Melody thought, “What’s with him? 

“Seems like Miss Fox’s cooking skills are quite good, Cadence said with a fake smile. “I thought country folks only are poor dishes, but it turns out there are such delicious dishes in the countryside, even making Margaret praise them.” 

Melody ignored the ‘country folks comment and smiled. “Miss Hunter, you can try it too. If you like it, I can teach you how to make it someday” 

“No need Cadence replied coldly. “I can’t get used to this 

Melody shrugged and opened the second lid. 

Inside was some beautifully colored mousse. 

I made some mousse. If you feel the duck greasy, you might try this, Melody said 

“Melody, you’re so thoughtful. You should teach my useless chefs sometime to improve my meals. Margaret’s eyes were full of satisfaction with Melody 

Cadence saw this and grew even more resentful 

But then she remembered her plan, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. 

She thought. Just wait, you’ll have a good show soon! 

As the sky darkened, lights illuminated the backyard, making it as bright as day. 

Everyone enjoyed their meal, and suddenly. Cadence stood up and said, “I just remembered I brought some gifts back from abroad. Miss Fox, would you mind coming with me to get them?”
