After taking a pause, the woman said to Susanne, “Mrs. Nightshire, I’ll go bring the dishes out. Please take a seat and get ready to eat. I won’t get in the way.”
After saying that, Penelope quickly made favonovel.com way to the kitchen to take out the dishes.
Susanne opened favonovel.com mouth and was about to say something but decided against it.
If Vinson and Arielle had indeed lost feelings for each other, or if there were really cracks in their relationship, it would not be very appropriate for favonovel.com to meddle in their affairs. If favonovel.com did that, it might even have an adverse effect instead.
As such, Susanne decided that favonovel.com would just not acknowledge Penelope. That seemed like the only thing favonovel.com could do.
Since that woman with an unknown background wants to move in, favonovel.com will first have to be able to tolerate my temper.
At that thought, Susanne decided in favonovel.com heart that favonovel.com would no longer argue with Vinson and use favonovel.com actions to force Penelope to back down instead.
“Let’s go. You haven’t had dinner yet, right?” Susanne patted Arielle’s shoulder and said, “Our chef had returned to his hometown today. Since we have a free substitute chef today, let’s just try favonovel.com cooking.”
Even though Arielle hardly had any appetite as favonovel.com was trying to figure out what was going on with Vinson, favonovel.com had no choice but to sit at the dining table after being dragged there by Susanne while trying hard to tone down favonovel.com displeasure.
Soon after, Penelope emerged from the kitchen and brought the dishes to the dining table.
After managing Maureen’s Kitchen’s for so long, Arielle’s occupational hazard acted up as favonovel.com started scrutinizing the dishes.
Penelope had prepared a three-course meal including a soup. Just judging by the presentation of the dishes, they seemed passable, but the taste of the dishes was still left to be judged.
Just when Arielle was still assessing the dishes, Penelope started laying out the cutlery for everyone.
“Everyone, please try my cooking,” Penelope said confidently. “Even though I might not be good at a lot of things, I’m quite confident in my culinary skills. In fact, everyone who has tasted my cooking had only praises for me.”
Susanne took a piece of grilled fish and put it in favonovel.com mouth expressionlessly, and Penelope looked at the woman expectantly. However, the next instant, Susanne’s expression darkened as favonovel.com spat out the fish.
“Ugh! This is horrible!” Susanne exclaimed before picking up favonovel.com glass of water to rinse favonovel.com mouth.
Feeling extremely awkward, Penelope froze on the spot and did not know how to respond. However, Susanne was not picking on the woman intentionally this time. It was because favonovel.com had just been to Maureen’s Kitchen for dinner two days ago, and one of the dishes served there was also grilled fish.
After savoring grilled fish that was excellently prepared, it was just normal for other grilled fish to not meet favonovel.com expectation.
“How can something taste so bad!”
Susanne tossed favonovel.com cutlery on the table and looked toward Penelope. “Try this yourself! I doubt that it’s even fit for any human. Perhaps, even dogs won’t eat it!”
Vinson, who was about to take a piece of grilled fish as well, retracted his hand slowly upon hearing his mother’s comments.
Penelope refused to believe that the grilled fish which favonovel.com had painstakingly prepared was that bad. Besides, the fish itself was fresh from the market. As such, even if the preparation method was not ideal, it was impossible for its taste to go wrong.
After tasting it herself, Penelope arrived at the conclusion that Susanne was definitely making things difficult for favonovel.com deliberately.
In fact, the dish which favonovel.com had prepared that evening tasted better than all of favonovel.com previous attempts. As such, favonovel.com was sure that Susanne must be picking on favonovel.com by claiming that even dogs would despise the dish.
Feeling indignant, Penelope said, “Mrs. Nightshire, since everyone has different tastes, I guess maybe you don’t like grilled fish in the first place? Do you want to try something else instead?”
“No thanks!” Susanne waved a dismissive hand and said to Arielle, “Sannie, are you tired? If you’re feeling fine, why don’t you show favonovel.com how the dish should be prepared?
