Oliver suddenly frowned and asked suspiciously. Oops. This person… can he not be so smart? Elaine was stunned, and immediately said with a laughter, “Of course I know! Isn’t this just testing you? Guess what delicious food I made for you?”
Elaine was smiling but secretly sweating. Oh my God, she didn’t know what was made too! It definitely cannot be exposed!
Oliver’s eyes were bright again, rolled his eyes, and smiled while guessing, “Fish soup? Or chicken soup? Or is it sea cucumber soup?”
Elaine said straightforwardly, “No way it’s sea cumber soup! Her family is also impoverished, how could she afford to buy sea cucumbers for you? The possibility is zero.”
“Her family? Whose family?”
Oh! Elaine almost bit off her own tongue. Cold sweat was dripping.
“Haha, it’s my sister. I always speak that way, saying, my family is my sister’s family, because, haha, my father is bias to my sister. I always complain that that family isn’t my family but theirs. Haha, it’s a habit and it just smoothly came out.”
Oliver was relieved and said, “You’re such a poor thing, you look pretty good, and quite cute, why isn’t your father fonder of you? Don’t be afraid, it’s enough that I like you. If it doesn’t work out, you can move to my house. If they don’t care about you, I will! I will get the chefs to cook delicious food for you every day.”
Elaine was smiling outwardly but was sweating cold sweat secretly. Oh God, if she had to face this Master Young like this every day, she felt that she would suddenly die of cardiac arrest!
“Hahaha, let’s not talk, come on, it’s time to eat. Are you starving? You did not have breakfast at all?” Elaine hurriedly opened the thermos flask and looked down, almost swallowing her saliva.
Wow, it was small fragrant wontons! She liked wontons the best! Pure lean meat with a little coriander sauce was preferred! She absolutely loved it. Damn guy, he had such luck to get to eat something delicious. Sally actually made him chicken wonton soup. Jealous… She wanted to eat too.
She forgot everything when she got excited, and said, “Oh, it’s actually chicken wonton soup.”
Actually… Of all words to use, she used ‘actually.’ Luckily, Oliver was obsessed with her face and didn’t notice what she had just said, but it had also frightened her into a cold sweat. One day, she would die because of her loose mouth.
“Look, what a pretty wonton! How is it, smell it, the taste must be good too? Here, stretch over your nose over and smell it.” Elaine coaxed Oliver like she persuaded her sister. Ellie would lose her temper at times and wouldn’t eat out of spite, and her father wasn’t at home, and couldn’t look after the kids. Hence, Elaine became half the parent, being angry to the point her hair stood up, and on the other hand, she would have to prepare the meal and coaxed Ellie to eat. So, at times, Ellie would call Elaine, her aunt.
Oliver was stunned. How long has it been that he had enjoyed such sincere and pure care? Just like that, gently coaxing him to eat, like… a mother’s warmth. Oliver looked at Elaine’s face in a daze. His earliest memory was when he was in the first grade of elementary school, getting out of the car. He would see his mother’s anticipating figure. He could also plunge into his mother’s embrace.
And then… This kind of warmth disappeared so quickly. His mother was diagnosed with seasonal depression, she was either crying all day or was clamoring to commit suicide. If not, she would be slightly better and indulged in mahjong.
When he ate, it was a group of servants accompanying him, and they would place delicious food on a plate and pass it to him. Sometime, he would not eat out of spite, but no one would stop him. The servants wouldn’t dare to tell him to eat more. He would starve and cry in the garden for a long time. All he wanted was a little attention from his mother, was it too excessive?
When he thought of that, Oliver’s eyes became hot, and his eyes were slightly red.
But Elaine, that woodblock, wouldn’t bother noticing other people’s emotions and feelings. She was still drooling and trying to attract Oliver, praising, “Wow, it smells so good! Fragrant and delicious wontons!!! It’s handmade without any additives… Here, here, try one! Quickly try it, it must be delicious!”
Oliver couldn’t help laughing, and said jokingly, “Elaine, you can be a peddler or be a waitress.”
Elaine glared at Oliver and yelled, “Do you want to eat or not? You only know how to give me random positions. Even I want to be, I don’t want to be a waitress. A waitress is the most pitiable, there’s no words to describe how cruel it is! Sending plates after plates, you can only see but not eat. For me, I want to be the chef! When every dish is done, I’ll use a spatula and eat a piece first. Woah, that’s what you call ‘eating the world’s food without spending a penny’!”
“Hahaha… Good! You have ideas! I think you can start fighting toward your goal!” Oliver was amused by Elaine that he shaking forward and backward with laughter. It turns out that a good woman wasn’t how much passion she brings to you in bed. Instead, she could keep you in a warm and cozy atmosphere.
“It’s made by you?” Oliver squinted at Elaine.
Elaine groaned in her heart, but smiled on her face, “Yes, yes, I made it myself. It took me more than an hour! Sigh, it’s troublesome to request for leave just to make it for you. I even had my salary deducted for leaving early. A lot of money was wasted just to cook a meal for you.”
