Chapter 117
Jaden was not in a hurry to visit the villa. Instead, he entered the kitchen and washed his hands. He took out the cold vegetables from the food box and placed them on a small plate. Then, he took out fresh fruits, washed them, cut them, and placed them neatly on the plate. He brought them out and placed them on the coffee table.
"You two eat slowly. I’ll go cook," Jaden said.
Avery raised her hand. "Jaden, it’s not that I’m lazy, but I’m not good at cooking. I only know how to cook instant noodles or bake things in an oven."
Jaden smiled. "There are many people in our family who can cook. You study hard, so it’s fine if you don’t know how to."
Then, Avery and Josie sat in the living room, watching television and eating snacks while Jaden was busy in the kitchen. Avery glanced at the kitchen from time to time and saw Jaden holding onto his apron and standing in front of the kitchen counter, cutting chickens and ducks. His actions were clean but not ferocious at all. It was quite pleasing to the eye.
When he brought out the cooked chicken potpie, the pieces of chicken were cut very well. They were neither too big nor too small, arranged neatly. It could be said to be a blessing for the obsessive-compulsive loyalists.
By the time he finished cooking eight dishes and a soup, Claire and Arthur had also rushed back. The family of five sat together and discussed the restaurant while eating. It was really harmonious, lively, and happy.
Josie did not understand what the adults were talking about. She was the first to run to the sofa to take an afternoon nap after eating.
The adults discussed until three o’clock in the afternoon. Jaden was about to go back when Claire smiled and said, "Your grandfather called me in the morning and asked you to play in the city for a few days before going back. Otherwise, they’ll think that you look down on them and believe they’re useless and unable to survive without you by their side."
Avery was speechless. ’Grandpa is quite cute!’
Arthur also said, "Grandma also called me. She said that Mom is very tired from running a restaurant and asked you to accompany her for a few days. Don’t be in a hurry to go back. If anything happens, they will inform you in time and tell you not to worry."
