Chapter 317: Mine Is Stronger
It had already been more than an hour, but Zach was still in Old Madam Liu’s room. Meanwhile, Keira was already done arranging their stuff with Thea’s help, but Thea had also left to prepare dinner.
Keira decided to head to the kitchen to help her. Besides, Zach and his grandmother seemed to be taking their time to have a heart-to-heart talk about Zach’s father.
Keira sighed. If Old Madam Liu was already this clingy to Zach now, she could not imagine how clingier she would be in the upcoming months, during their stay there. Zach was her real descent, the son of her only son. And she was Zach’s wife. So it seemed only natural for the old madam to favor Zach and her more.
Still, she hoped Old Madam Liu would give everyone a fair treatment because she did not want any misunderstandings between Zach and Jeru, especially now that they were already on good terms. It would not be good if Old Madam Liu gave Zach a preferential treatment.
"Wow, that smells good!" Keira praised as soon as she entered the kitchen and smelled the pleasing aroma of the dishes Thea was preparing.
"So I heard the kitchen has been your territory nowadays?" She jested to which Thea responded with a nod and a smile.
"That’s right... You want to learn how to cook, right? I will teach you in our free time," Thea offered as she stirred the ingredients inside the cooking pan.
Kiera nodded as she grabbed a saucer plate and a spoon to taste Thea’s dishes.
"Why are you the only one here? Did you shoo away all the kitchen helpers?" Keira asked as she noticed that they were the only ones in the kitchen.
"Haha yeah... I let them rest whenever I’m in the kitchen. I prefer to do things on my own, especially when it comes to cooking. And that includes preparing the ingredients," explained Thea.
Keira nodded as she blew on the sauce on her spoon to make it less hot. She was looking forward to eating Thea’s dishes because she could already tell from the smell that they were all delicious. She knew about Thea being her mother-in-law’s cooking apprentice since she was young. This was how Thea knew how to cook well.
