As she spoke, she shot her a glare.
Upon seeing this, Adriana was about to scold her, “Neera, is this how you treat guests? Since when is itacceptable to have guests help with cooking...”
But Daisy didn't mind at all, she was already used to this kind of carefree interaction with Neera.
She rose with a smile. “It's okay. I'll do it with her. It's a good chance to chat with her.”
Before long, the two of them had entered the kitchen.
Knowing that Neera was going to cook today, the chefs at home consciously stepped aside, ready to assist her.
Someone eagerly said, “Ms. Garcia, could you please make a bit more for us too? It's a rare treat for you to cook,and it's been so long since we've had your food. We've been craving it for a while now.”
Neera happily put on an apron, her eyes curving into a smile as she cheerfully agreed, “Sure, no problem.”
Later on, Osbert and Luigi conscientiously came over. They brought along Obadiah too.
Over the past couple of days, Obadiah had heard about everything that had happened in the research center fromOsbert.
Upon learning that Eugene himself had come to help, he specifically came over to greet him.
As soon as he entered the door, Osbert, lured by the aroma of food, dashed towards the dining room.
Upon seeing the table, laden with several delicious dishes, wafting enticing aromas, he instantly started salivating.
Unable to resist, he stealthily reached out to pinch off a piece for a sneaky snack.
As a result, Neera caught him red-handed.
She swatted his hand away and said, “Have you washed your hands before sneaking bites here? Hurry up andhelp me bring out all the dishes first.”
With a regretful sigh, Osbert could only resign himself to help.
After a busy three hours, the ten dishes were finally all served on the table. Each dish was a delicacy and lookeddelicious.
At this moment, Eugene was playing chess with Jean.
Under Jean's aggressive moves, he found it difficult to make progress, retreating step by step. His brows weretightly furrowed, even his small mustache seemed to be fraught with worry.
Upon hearing that it was time to eat, his eyes lit up. He tossed the chess piece into the box without a secondthought, and he dashed off in a hurry without any hesitation.
As Neera was walking this way, she saw Eugene walking towards her. The old man was walking briskly andsteadily, hurriedly passing by her.
Looking into Jean's helpless yet smiling eyes, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. She then turned her headto expose the old man who was trying to sneak away.
“I don't mean to be offensive, but you ran when you couldn't win. This is not very gentlemanly. Don't you think?”
The old man was displeased. Holding his head high, he declared with conviction, “Food trumps everything, andnothing else matters as much!”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Soon, everyone took their seats, and the atmosphere was filled with joy and harmony.
Chad also brought over a few bottles of his treasured fine wine for everyone to taste and enhance the mood.
Eugene ate heartily, without any dietary restrictions.
Neera looked on, concerned about his health, and advised, “Please eat slowly, and try to eat less greasy food,otherwise you might have trouble digesting it.”
The old man swallowed the food in his mouth and waved his hand.
“Don't worry. I'm in great health and can eat a lot. There's no need to worry about me. Besides, how often do I getto enjoy your cooking? I must make the most of it.”
Beside him, Obadiah also laughed and said, “Indeed, it's been a long time since I've had the dishes Neera cooked.I really miss them.”
Neera served him more food. “Then, please eat more.”
Obadiah nodded repeatedly. “Okay.”
The atmosphere at this dinner was incredibly delightful, with smiles on everyone's faces. novelbin
Eugene indulged in drinking and ended up consuming nearly half a bottle in the company of Chad and Obadiah.
Jean only had a small drink.
Eugene didn't force him after hearing that his health didn't permit him to drink too much alcohol.
Instead, it was Luigi and Osbert who ended up drinking quite a lot.
By the time it all ended, both the two old men and the two young men were thoroughly drunk.
Chad had an excellent tolerance for alcohol, so he was only slightly tipsy.
Seeing the situation, Adriana helplessly called for the servants, “Help them upstairs and take them to the guestroom to rest.”
Chad was personally cared for by her. Before going upstairs, she didn't forget to remind Neera.
“I don't think your teacher is able to leave, so let him stay here tonight. Remember to give Mrs. Hanson a call.”
