Nicole looked at it. It was from Kai.
She picked it up and put it on speakerphone.
"What’s up, Third Brother?"
She spoke and pressed the mask on her face, afraid that it would fall off.
Kai said, "Dad wants you to come home to eat. He just caught some fish.”
Nicole looked at the man in the kitchen. Clayton’s back stiffened slightly, but he did not turn around. However, the movements of his hand clearly slowed down.
She pursed her lips and spoke with a smile.
"I'll go home tonight. We've already started eating."
"That’s great! That fish is all mine then!"
Kai hung up the phone excitedly, not giving Nicole a chance to backtrack.
Nicole paused and peeled the mask off while gritting her teeth.
"It's not crispy fish, is it?!"
It was Kai and Nicole's favorite dish.
Clayton heard it and came out. When he saw that
Nicole took off the mask even though it was not time yet, he paused for a moment.
"What crispy fish? Why didn't you continue the mask?"
Nicole bit her lower lip. "I'm not in the mood anymore! Let's eat. The butler must've cooked crispy fish. Kai won this time!"
Clayton wrinkled his brows. "Do you like it that much?"
"Of course. I’d rather exchange Kai for the fish! It's Mr. Anderson's best dish, but unfortunately, it’s a lot of trouble to make, so he didn’t cook it often as he got older..."
Clayton laughed at Nicole's somewhat regretful look.
"It's rare to see you get angry over a fish. Looks like it’s really good. I'd like to try it when I have the chance."
Nicole raised her brows. "No problem. We’ll go back tonight!"
Then, Nicole sent a message to Mr. Anderson, asking him to prepare in advance.
For Clayton's sake, the butler would not refuse.
Nicole only sighed in relief when she got the reply from Mr. Anderson.
