The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 595

"Good afternoon, Amy," Sheryl greeted her and pulled a chair for her. Seeing a displeased look on Amy's face while looking at the porridge that Sue bought, she tried to console her,"Don't worry too much, Amy. Shirley will just eat a little."

"That wouldn't do." Amy shook her head in disapproval. "Shirley is ill., and what she needs the most is healthy food," Amy said.

Amy then walked closer to Sheryl and handed her three lunch boxes. One was for Shirley, and the other two were for her and Sue.

"Making the soup for Shirley took some time, and I just cooked a simple meal for you. But don't worry, I'll make you a special dinner tonight." she said as she opened the boxes for them.

When Amy said that it was just a simple meal, they were surprised to see what were inside the lunch boxes. There were actually three dishes — sweet and sour ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and Chinese green tender. And they all smelt good.

Looking at the mouth-watering dishes in front of her, Sue gasped and thought, 'How could this be considered a simple meal?'

On the other hand, Amy made a chicken and vegetable soup for Shirley. She also put some carrots in it and it looked so delicious.

Feeling delighted, Amy took the spoon and was about to feed Shirley.

"Let me do it, Amy," Sheryl interrupted, feeling a little embarrassed.

"No, it's okay. Let me just do it." Amy refused to give the lunch box and the spoon to Sheryl. "Just enjoy your lunch there," she added.

Shirley was already starving so it didn't take long for her to finish the soup. Amy felt glad and laughed heartily while looking at the little girl's cute face.

"Did you like it?" Amy asked Shirley. The little girl nodded her head vigorously.

"What would you like for dinner?" Amy asked again in a very pleased tone.

"Well..." Shirley hesitated for a moment and looked at Sheryl's direction. "I want sweet and sour ribs," Shirley answered with a begging look. They didn't notice that Shirley had been staring all the while at Sheryl's bowl of sweet and sour ribs.

"Sweet and sour ribs? Oh, I'm afraid you can't have it," Amy declined. Hearing Amy's reply, Shirley lowered her head and pouted her lips.

Seeing Shirley's saddened expression, Amy thought of something. She then smiled and said to Shirley,"How about this? I would just make you ribs porridge for dinner. For sure you would love it."

Suddenly, Shirley looked up to her with a bright smile. "Really? That would be nice." Shirley was truly delighted.

"Of course," Amy assured her. "Only puppies lie," she added.

"Amy!" Sheryl interrupted their conversation. "Don't bother. That would be too much trouble for you," she said. The last thing Sheryl would want was to be a burden to Amy.

"That's all right. You don't need to worry," Amy assured her. "Cooking is my hobby so it won't be a trouble for me."

"Well, I mean…" Sheryl sighed. Eventually, she found nothing to say. On the other hand, Sue enjoyed the dishes so much that she had fallen for Amy's cooking skill. Because of that, she urged Sheryl to agree. "Sher, Amy is really good at cooking. The dishes she made are way much better compared to the dishes in restaurants."

"Oh, thank you so much for that compliment, Sue," Amy said with a bright smile. Sheryl couldn't argue anymore so Amy won.
