Naomi looked at Nelson, still a bit worried for him.
Truth be told, she was not worried about Nelson's cooking skills not being up to par. If he could not cook well, then so be it!
She was just concerned that Amos' trial was to prevent them from being together.
After all, Amos did not have a good impression of Nelson!
Although she was worried, no one could dissuade her father's decision, no one except for her mother, Eudora!
However, the look on Eudora's face was obvious that she too, had agreed to it!
Nelson suddenly reached out and patted her on her shoulder, and whispered to her in a low voice.
He whispered to her in a low voice, "It's okay, I can do it!"
His husky and magnetic voice was inexplicably convincing, making her worried heart instantly ease a little.
After that, he turned around and went to the kitchen.
The quiet living room soon became lively again.
Harley called Amos and Christopher.
Harley beckoned Amos and Christopher, "Come on, let's have another round!"
Naomi stood there in a daze for a while before walking to the kitchen to take a look.
Amos, who was behind her, called out to her, "Don't show your emotions. Don't let others know what you're thinking about. It seems that you have forgotten everything I've taught you!"
Naomi stopped again.
"I'm sorry, Dad! I'll remember your lesson from now on!"
About an hour later, Nelson started serving some dishes.
One plate after another was placed on the table. The weight on Naomi's heart lifted and she finally felt at ease.
As the dishes were served, it was almost time to start lunch.
Tina looked at the dishes and could not help but praise them, "These dishes look really good!"
Nelson came out from behind, the apron still on his body.
"Thank you for your compliment. I'm just doing what I should!"
As he spoke, Cindy came in with a bunch of flowers in her hands.
"Miss Naomi, someone sent this just now. It's for you!"
Naomi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Nelson. Nelson's heart tightened, but his expression was still calm and no changes could be seen from his expression.
A card with familiar words on it was attached, "Naomi, from today onwards, I will pursue you! Have a great day!"
The card was from Benedict!
Naomi frowned as she thought that she had made things very clear to him. However, Benedict still was reluctant to give up.
"Naomi, what's wrong?" Eudora called her.
Only then did Naomi snap back to reality. She replied, "Nothing. I'm going to put the flowers away. You guys can eat first!"
It was undeniable that the dishes cooked by Nelson were really good.
Tina was someone who was incapable of hiding her emotions. Most importantly, she herself had no idea how to cook, therefore, she liked people who were good at cooking a lot.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking at such a young age. Did you find someone to teach you?"
Nelson shook his head and said, "No, I didn't. It's just that I've been travelling around for so many years since I was young. Naturally, I'd think of ways when I'm hungry..."
His words made Eudora pause for a moment.
The fact that Vincent had wandered outside when he was a child had always been a sensitive topic that the Granger family did not dare to mention.
Although Vincent had hurt her in the past, he had been young back then. In addition, he had been manipulated and used by other people to do so, so none of that was his fault.
Eudora had failed to take the matter to heart.
Later on, when they had wanted to help Vincent, they were being sincere about it.
