When Jordan sat down to eat just now, Chris refused to let Jordan eat the food he ordered, and instead, insulted him by feeding him a bag of sauerkraut and bread.
Now, Jordan used the same method to get back at him!
Jordan said, "This is the food I made for my daughter. You're not fit to eat it!"
Chris had long gotten used to being tyrannical and would make himself at home wherever he went. Hence, he would often eat anything he wanted without asking for permission.
This was the first time in his life that he had been denied food so his face turned sullen immediately!
Robb, who was standing at the door, immediately came forward to speak for Chris. "Bastard! Mr. Hank is being kind to you by being willing to eat the food you cook!
How dare you forbid him from eating?"
"Mr. Hank has been to the French state banquet before. Do you understand? Do you know what kind of level you have to be at in order to attend that kind of event?!"
"You bumpkin, Mr. Hank wanted to give you some pointers because he noticed that you like cooking and yet, you still think we're taking advantage of you?"
Jordan had long gotten sick of Robb's incessant chattering. He snapped, "You dog, you're in no place to speak to me. Get lost!"
Lauren also looked at Robb and said, "Go out. Don't disturb us while we're having a meal."
Robb did not dare to disobey Lauren and thus retreated dejectedly.
At this moment, Chris was greatly embarrassed.
Lauren said to Jordan, "Jordan, Chris and I are going to get married soon, and he'll become Chloe's stepfather in the future. I hope that you two can get along a little better, okay?"
Lauren pleaded for Jordan when Chris forbade him from eating just now and now, she spoke up for Chris.
Jordan could tell what Lauren meant, so he said to Chris, "You can eat, but you have to wait until Chloe finishes eating."
After saying that, he picked up the spoon and helped Chloe crack the cheese puff pastry. As soon as he did, the puff pastry, which looked like a mushroom, vanished immediately to reveal the black truffle soup that looked like a heavenly pool.
Once the puff pastry was broken, the steam from the truffle soup quickly wafted up along with a rich aroma that infiltrated their nostrils.
The soup would taste best when eaten hot. Jordan quickly scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to Chloe.
"Baby, open your mouth."
Chloe opened her mouth and took a sip of the soup before flailing her arms about frantically. "It's delicious!"
Jordan scooped another spoonful and handed it to Lauren. "You were out and about with me the whole of yesterday, so you didn't eat anything either. Try it."
Lauren was touched. She had tasted the delectable food made by Jordan previously, so she naturally wanted to eat the food he cooked.
"Thank you, I'll do it myself."
Lauren picked up her spoon, too.
However, Jordan held the spoon for a long time without putting it down. He said, "Just use this one. Chloe used it just now. I didn't."
Jordan knew that a mother would never find her daughter's used spoon dirty.
Lauren blushed and was a little embarrassed. "That... that's not very appropriate. Why don't you put the spoon down while I drink it on my own?"
Chris turned beet red, and he glared at Jordan and Lauren with his eyes wide open. 'Is Jordan going to feed my fiancee right in front of me?'
Jordan said, "I... I don't intend to feed you either. Take it."
"Oh..." Lauren felt really ashamed and embarrassed for mistakenly thinking that Jordan would feed her like he had fed Chloe!
He didn't mean that at all! Worst still, she had made that blunder right in front of her fiance!
Lauren took the spoon, took a sip, and praised, "Mmm! It's delicious! I've never had such delicious truffle soup before!"
