Chapter 54: Kindness
Max stared at the chubby man and wondered how he got such a beautiful wife. But then again, men like him were the most dangerous, so he didn’t want to take that risk by asking such questions.
As for his question, he just nodded and said, "Something like that! Uncle John... is she that divine chef who makes that heavenly food?"
John’s wife giggled at his remark and answered instead of John in her sweet, honey-like voice, "Yes, I am that Divine Chef, and thanks for the compliments."
Max blinked, reaching her in an instant and said in an utterly serious voice, "Then, please allow me to eat more of those heavenly dishes because they even allowed me to break through to Silver Rank. Food prepared by you is truly supreme."
"Quit acting, brat. Seriously, you disappear all night and day, then come to flirt with my wife? Get off!" John snorted and stood up, revealing his towering figure.
Max wasn’t small by any means as he stood at a decent height of 182 centimetres, but even he was dwarfed by this middle-aged man.
Standing over a head taller than him, John patted his shoulder and said, "Try that again and I will have your hands out of their sockets."
"Don’t scare off customers," John’s wife smacked his head, making him have a sulky face. She then turned towards Max and said, "You can just call me Aunt Melissa, and didn’t you say you were hungry? Wait here, and I’ll bring you something."
"Thanks, Aunt Melissa," Max thanked her and swiftly sat at the table to avoid John, who just scoffed at his attempt to hide and went to sit on his seat.
