Chapter 539
The huge cantéen was spacious and bright. Many colleagues were already eating in it. Some were chewing slowly, some were gulping down their food, and some were gossiping before eating.
Seeing Natalie bring her son in, a few colleagues quickly put down their plates and enthusiastically wanted to greet her. “Hey, Natalie, is that your son? He’s so handsome.”
Her colleague half-squatted and reached out to hug Jasper. However, they respected Jasper very much and asked for permission first. “Can I hug you?”
The other young lady also liked children very much. “Can I carry you?”
Not long after.
Many people surrounded Jasper. Even a few seniors wanted to hug him. Jasper had been well taken care of by Theo. He had gained a lot of weight and was chubby. However, it could not hide the handsome genes on his body. His long eyelashes fluttered.
Jasper refused mercilessly. “No.”
Then, he hid on Natalie’s shoulder and stopped turning his head, afraid that the aunties and uncles would carry her away.
Ruby was already being carried by a young girl. Natalie apologized, “I’m sorry, this child is more shy. It’ll be fine once he’s familiar with you.”
“It’s okay. I won’t carry you anymore. This is good. It’s safe. You won’t be carried away by strangers. Your protective awareness is not bad. You’re really handsome.” She did not forget to praise Jasper at the end.
Natalie did not refute his son’s good looks because he was indeed quite handsome. Excessive modesty was simply hypocritical.
The few of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Sherri asked Rose to sit down and not move. Then, she asked Ruby to sit at the side while she and Natalie went to get some food.
At the dining table, Rose pulled out a tissue and said to the two little guys, “Watch carefully and see how I wipe the table. If you want to eat, you have to do it yourselves, understand? We have to help Mommy. Mommy is very tired from working.” Ruby nodded. She took a piece of tissue and began to wipe it according to Rose’s rhythm. However, Jasper did not move at all. He did not listen to Rose’s lies at all. It was as if she did not say anything to him.
Rose saw more and more Trevon in Jasper. She said, “Hey, kid, are you pretending to be cold to me? Do you not even listen/ to Aunt Rose anymore?”
Jasper rolled her eyes. “Auntie, it’s quite clean.”
Rose looked at the clean table and choked. She only did this to tell them to help when they were eating.
Sherri and Natalie came over with the dishes. The two of them chatted and laughed. Two plates were placed on the table. Natalie turned around and went to get food again. There were a total of three plates.
After placing the last plate on the table, Natalie smiled and said, “Don’t tell people that you didn’t have enough to eat here. If it’s not enough, I’ll go get more.”
Rose teased and gave her a thumbs-up. “You really can do whatever you want in your own cafeteria, awesome.”
Ruby didn’t know what Rose meant. She learned from her aunt and gave Natalie a thumbs-up. “Awesome.”
Natalie said, “My goddaughter knows the word awesome? That’s great. Hehe, quickly eat. Tell me what you want to eat, okay?”
Seeing the familiar pizza on the table, Rose asked in confusion, “Do you have such a pizza every day?”
Natalie took out the dishes from the plate and handed the macaroni to the two little guys. She replied, “Yes, isn’t it winter now? There must be pizza.”
Sherri bit on the fork, narrowed her eyes and pondered for a few seconds. With one hand supporting her cheek, she said, “You guys… Don’t you think this pizza looks familiar?”
Natalie sat down beside her son and picked up some food for him to eat. “Isn’t it the kind we ate in the hospital previously? Isn’t this the same? What’s the difference?”
“Let me try it and see if there’s any difference.” Rose picked up a fork and picked up a piece for the two little guys. Then, she picked up a piece for herself. It was steaming hot. She reminded the children beside her, “It’s a little hot. Blow on it before eating.”
Ruby continued to blow on it like her aunt. Then, she stuffed it into her mouth. As for Jasper, he did not do this at all. He directly let the pizza cool on the plate before moving his fork. It saved him a lot of effort.
After finishing a mouthful of food, Sherri and Rose looked at each other at the same time. Then, they looked at Natalie, who
was feeding the child. “Natalie.”
Natalie met their strange gazes and asked, “What?”
Sherri swallowed the food in her mouth. “Have you eaten food from the canteen?”
Natalie did not stop eating and continued to pick up food for the two little guys. “Are you talking nonsense? If I don’t eat here, where should I eat? In the streets?”
“Then, did you notice that the taste is wrong? It tastes the same as what we ate in the cafeteria of Athana Hospital. I’m talking about the past, not the current cafeteria.” Roșe voiced her thoughts.
“I’ve only eaten there twice or once. Back then, Trevon would go out with me to eat when he was free. The taste is about the same.” Natalie really did not care much. The dishes she cooked during her confinement period were similar to this. She thought that all chefs with good culinary skills were like this.
Their cookings all tasted similar.
Sherri stretched out an index finger and kept shaking it left and right to indicate that this was not the case. She glanced at her future son-in-law, who was eating happily, and her daughter beside her, planning to go to the kitchen to investigate. Seeing her best friend get up without eating, Natalie knew that she was up to no good. “You’re not thinking of going to the kitchen, are you?”
“Yes, you’re right.”
Natalie looked at her best friend speechlessly, who was clearly about to cause trouble. “Yes, my ass. Eat first. Ruby isn’t even full yet. The pizza is going to get cold. Others only eat the food more when they find it delicious, while you want to find the chef right away? What a strange approach.”
How could these words stop Sherri, who was filled with the desire to explore? She had long separated her butt from the stool. Before she left, she even asked Rose to take care of Ruby. “Rose, help me look after Ruby for a while. I’ll go and verify the truth and come back to share it with you.”
Afraid that her best friend would not be able to find the kitchen door, Natalie stood up helplessly. Worried that Rose would not be able to take care of two children by herself, she planned to carry her son over.
“Let Jasper stay here. I can keep an eye on him. It’s not like you guys are leaving for days. I’m a pediatrician. I have a way to take care of them. Hurry up and keep an eye on Sherri.”
Compared to the two children, Rose was more worried about the evil Sherri.
“Okay, Jasper and Ruby, you can’t get off the stool. You can only sit on the stool. Do you hear me? The two of us will be back soon.”
Ruby answered obediently, “Okay.”
“Kay,” Jasper replied lightly. He continued to eat macaroni and beans. He was not picky at all because his father would be unhappy if he was.
Rose stared at Jasper and thought, “Is coldness inherited? Will warmth also be inherited in the future?”
There were three doors at the entrance of the kitchen. Sherri did not know which door to push open. Natalie’s helpless voice came from behind. “I told you not to mess around, but you insisted on coming, yet you don’t even know which door to open.”
As she spoke, she pushed open one of the doors. The huge, clean kitchen appeared in front of Sherri, but her attention was not on it. It was on the chef.
There was more than one chef in the room. There were several of them, one in charge of pastries, one in charge of steaming, and
many more…
