"Grandma, is it good?"John took a bite of the pasta, looking satisfied as he watched Violet.However, Violet had no interest in talking to him at all. She was eating her pasta loudly, almost burying her head in the plate.She had a vegan diet, and Liam had hired many skilled chefs to prepare vegan dishes for her. However, she had never tasted vegan food as delicious as this plate of pasta.John took a few more bites of pasta and asked, "Grandma, did you hear me?"Violet, who had only ever called him "dear", suddenly gave him a light tap on the back of his head. "Stop bothering me, little rascal. You're disturbing my meal."Despite being hit, John felt overjoyed. It seemed that the cooking skills of his future wife had won Violet over. Their future was looking good now!John had known since he was a child that Violet had the sharpest judgment when it came to people. If she said someone was good, then they were definitely good.Meanwhile, Lana noticed something from the surveill
When Lana learned that Eric had arrived, she felt a headache coming.It had been a month since then. How had he still not given up?Ever since George's birthday banquet, Eric seemed to be attached to Lana. He kept calling every day, asking her how she was and inviting her out. He even suggested fetching Lana to and from work.Yet, Lana ended up refusing his kind gestures.It was difficult enough to get away from the Kanes. She had no intention of marrying into any wealthy family again. Right now, she only wished to earn money. With money, she could have any guy she wanted.Eric was in a white suit, with his medium-length hair tied into a small braid. He had a straight nose with a pair of gold-framed glasses. He seemed like a prince charming from fairy tales.He casually found a place to sit and was about to call Lana when she appeared."You're finally willing to see me?" Lana replied awkwardly, "It's not like I was avoiding you intentionally."Eric gently pushed his glasses
"Faster, Milo! The movie is about to start!" The people in front urged.Nadia also turned around and added, "Come on, what are you standing there for?"The young man with glasses was Milo. When Nadia turned around, his gaze lit up with affection. "I'm coming, I'm coming."Nadia had already bought the movie tickets for a group of six, and their seats were all together.To create an opportunity for Milo and Nadia, the other four insisted that they sit in the middle.The movie was a comedy, which created a light-hearted and funny atmosphere. Everyone kept laughing.Milo occasionally glanced at Nadia, clearly not paying attention to the movie. Nadia, on the other hand, was unaware of the glances and enjoyed the movie. After all, she had never dared to imagine this kind of life before.After the movie ended, someone suggested having dinner together.Nadia had to work at the spa in the evening, so she didn't want to go. But Milo looked at her affectionately and said, "If your famil
Soon, the night of Eric's private restaurant, The Codfather Café, launch had arrived.Even though Eric launched a lot of private restaurants, he did not plan to make a profit from them. He had only invited a few good friends to taste the dishes prepared by the newly hired international chef. That was why he scheduled this dinner for the evening. As long as he was the one launching it, there would be a constant stream of customers even without promoting it. Eric didn't need to worry about making a profit at all.When the time came, many luxury cars were parked outside the private restaurant."Olivia, you smell really good. What perfume are you using?" Jennifer was talking to a charming and well-dressed young woman.The young woman was wearing a short sky-blue cocktail dress. The adorable woman looked around 17 to 18 years old."This one is a Westwood exclusive custom-made fragrance. How could it not smell good?" The young woman's name was Olivia Sockman, and she was Eric's cous
When Olivia and Jennifer walked past Lana, they noticed her nose twitch slightly, and she frowned. She said, "Seems like we'll need to be more cautious doing business in the future."The guests all distanced themselves from Lana after Olivia's persuasion, not wanting to have any association with her. After all, Olivia was Eric's cousin. Lana found a quiet place to sit, relieved she didn't have to engage in meaningless social interactions. She could take this opportunity to rest."Olivia, your fragrance is really mesmerizing.""Of course, Olivia's wearing a Westwood exclusive fragrance today."Jennifer's words instantly attracted all the female guests' attention, causing a small buzz."Hurry and tell us, Olivia. How did you get your hands on Westwood perfume in such a short time?""Yeah, this scent is too nice. I can't wait any longer!"The female guests were all admiring Westwood's craftsmanship and were followers of Westwood. However, Westwood was too mysterious and difficult
Lana sneered with her head down. "You're the one who doesn't know how to appreciate food. If you don't believe me, go ahead and ask the others. See what they have to say.""This young lady makes a good point. The hawthorn sauce is too sweet, especially when paired with the already fatty foie gras. It might taste pleasant at first, but it becomes cloying after a while. Just look, hardly any of us are reaching for a second piece."Yves was the one who spoke, a renowned international chef in his younger years. After retiring, he had been involved in various culinary-related activities. He was also one of the judges on the recent popular TV show "Chef King Championship", so he was invited as an honored guest alongside Eric tonight.Tonight, he was the only one qualified to comment on the chef's culinary skills.After Yve's words, the others nodded in agreement. It was indeed true that the hawthorn sauce outside the foie gras was overly sweet, and eating too much of it became unpleasa
Upon discovering Lana's vegan diet, Eric was struck with guilt. "Lana, why didn't you tell me earlier that you're a vegan? I could've had the chef prepare special dishes just for you," he exclaimed.Lana, however, was unfazed. It wasn't due to religious beliefs that she avoided meat. She simply couldn't stomach it."It's okay. I can eat the vegan side dishes. They are delicious, by the way," she replied with a smile.Sensing Lana's skepticism, Eric chose to respect her feelings and decided to back off. Nevertheless, he subtly signaled the staff to prepare additional vegan side dishes in the kitchen.Having savored the chickpea and quinoa salad, with Lana consuming almost every bite, she politely excused herself, stating that she needed to use the restroom.Initially, Eric had planned for a wait staff to accompany Lana, but she declined the offer.Preferring the freedom to explore on her terms, Lana disliked the feeling of being controlled.In a matter of moments, Lana returned t
Olivia had intended to challenge Lana, but she was taken aback when Lana proposed a bet."What? Backing down now?" Lana's demeanor turned aggressive, her beautiful face etched with disdain. "Apologize to Chef Alan for your ignorance right now."Olivia, the only daughter of the Sockman family, had been sheltered by her parents and older brothers since childhood. When had she ever faced such humiliation?"Why should I apologize?" Olivia continued to argue defiantly. "I haven't done anything wrong!""Yes, you have!" Lana fired back. "Mr. Wheeler established these private dining restaurants to share exquisite cuisine. "You've attended many special banquets like tonight's, yet you couldn't even identify the ingredients. Tell me, haven't you done something wrong?"Lana's argument was compelling, leaving Olivia speechless.However, what crushed Olivia was Eric's statement."If you can't distinguish between paprika and herbs, Olivia, you should apologize to Chef Alan," Eric said."Er
