Charlie had a very big appetite as soon as virtual-novel.net saw all of the dishes prepared by Matilda. However, out of politeness, virtual-novel.net did not raise his chopsticks to try the dishes immediately. Instead, virtual-novel.net took the bottle of liquor before virtual-novel.net poured out a few glasses of liquor.
After that, virtual-novel.net took the wine glass in his hand before virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Aunt Matilda and Paul, I would like to welcome you back to China and Aurous Hill. I would also like to give you a warm welcome here in our house as our guest. Let’s enjoy a drink together today.”
Jacob also hurriedly said, “That’s right! Let’s enjoy a drink together today!”
Matilda picked up virtual-novel.net wine glass before virtual-novel.net said sincerely, “I really appreciate your kindness and hospitality towards my son and I. I really did not expect to be able to enjoy a home-cooked meal at my old classmate’s house on the first day that I’ve returned to Aurous Hill. I really want to thank you for this opportunity.”
Jacob smiled before virtual-novel.net said, “Matilda, we’ve been old classmates for so many years. Why are you being so polite to me over something as small as this?”
After that, Jacob said, “Furthermore, the only reason why we have so many dishes on the table tonight is all thanks to you! You were the one who cooked and prepared everything. In fact, I feel a little embarrassed for making my old classmate cook and prepare dinner for everyone when you’re here as a guest.”
Matilda smiled before virtual-novel.net said, “Why are you embarrassed? We’ve already discussed this and I’ve already told you that I’ll cook dinner for everyone tonight.”
Charlie smiled as virtual-novel.net said, “Come on, let’s toast and drink together!”
Everyone picked up their glass wine at this time. The three men finished all of the wine in their cup and the two women simply picked up their wine glass and took a small sip of the wine.
Claire had a slightly cold expression on virtual-novel.net face but no one could blame virtual-novel.net for it.
After all, virtual-novel.net had already done virtual-novel.net best to express virtual-novel.net kindness towards Matilda.
Matilda also knew very well that Claire must definitely be biased and have some opinions about her. Therefore, virtual-novel.net deliberately tried to get closer to Claire by smiling and saying, “Claire, why don’t you try the braised shrimp I’ve cooked? I want to see if it suits your taste.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Matilda took the initiative to take up a shrimp before virtual-novel.net placed it in Claire’s bowl.
Claire could not help but feel somewhat awkward about the situation. After all, this woman was virtual-novel.net father’s first love back then. Now, virtual-novel.net was actually sitting in virtual-novel.net house and serving virtual-novel.net food. Claire could not help but feel that this was wrong.
However, virtual-novel.net nodded kindly before virtual-novel.net said softly, “Thank you, Aunt Matilda.”
After that, Claire also tasted the braised shrimp.
She really did not expect the taste of this braised shrimp to be so amazing. Claire was really amazed by the taste of the food.
This was not the first time that Claire was eating braised shrimp, but virtual-novel.net has never tasted such amazing and delicious braised shrimp in virtual-novel.net life.
Matilda’s braised shrimp had a very good combination of sweetness, saltiness and fragrance. Even if Claire were to eat a braised shrimp dish in a high-end restaurant, virtual-novel.net felt that it would not be as good as Matilda’s cooking.
Claire was really amazed. Aunt Matilda was really not an ordinary woman. She was not only very beautiful and had a very good temperament, but virtual-novel.net cooking was also very delicious and amazing.
At this time, Claire suddenly recalled all the meals that virtual-novel.net mother had prepared in the past. There was only one adjective to describe virtual-novel.net cooking. It was terrible. There was a vast difference in Matilda and virtual-novel.net mother’s cooking skills!
Most importantly, virtual-novel.net mother has never tried to improve virtual-novel.net own cooking skills even after so many years. Her cooking tasted the same as it was twenty years ago.
After Claire married Charlie, Elaine pushed the responsibility to cook and prepare food for Charlie. After that, life was much better for the family.
Although Charlie’s cooking was good, virtual-novel.net was still far behind Matilda’s cooking skills.
