Chapter 272-The Other Side Of My Stepfather
Helanie:
I had cooked so much food, and probably that’s why everyone was wondering what the occasion might be. Butter chicken, lemon chicken piccata, braised short ribs, and more dishes, along with salads, pavlova, and a creamy fruit bowl for dessert.
Emmet tasted the filet mignon first, and the way he closed his eyes to savor the flavor felt like a small victory to me.
Then he took a bite of the aglio olio pasta, and once again, he closed his eyes and let out a louder-than-expected moan.
"Mmmmmm!"
Everyone turned their heads toward him.
"This is so good," he said with his mouth full.
Mr. McQuoid quickly grabbed some food and started nodding his head nonstop. My mother noticed their reactions and picked up a fork. Her response was even more surprising. She looked shocked.
"Seems like the chef has finally learned how to cook," my mother commented, unable to hold back her praise.
Maximus pointed to his lips, signaling me to stay quiet and not reveal the truth just yet.
Maximus and Kaye obviously enjoyed the food since they were there when I was cooking. Slowly, their eyes turned toward Norman, who wasn’t paying much attention to what he was eating.
