Chapter 913

"Okay, Mom!" Alice nodded and continued saying.

"I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the environment yet. | don't know what | should do and what you need me to do. Just letme know, and I'll definitely take care of it properly."

Rosalie's expression eased slightly as she nodded. “Alright, I'll leave it to you if there's anything.""Okay." Alice had a smile on her face as usual.

However, Jensen, who was behind her, had already lost his patience. He said directly, "Mom, | thought that since you haven'tcooked in a long time, you will be overwhelmed. If we hadn't come to help, it would seem like we're insensible!"

Rosalie certainly didn't like cooking much. In this house, Nelson did the cooking for the most part.

In the past, Rosalie had felt that not knowing how to cook was a blessing, but in front of Alice, she felt very ashamed. She didn'texpect to be exposed by Jensen right in front of Alice by mentioning that she hadn't cooked in a long time.

Rosalie's face turned pale and she refuted coldly with some embarrassment, "How would you know that I haven't cooked in along time? You've been away from home for so many years. Do you know how we've been living these past years? Yet you dareto say that. Aren't you too casual with your words?"

Her words carried thorns.

As soon as Rosalie spoke, her words carried thorns with them as she fired back.Jensen naturally understood that she had become angry out of embarrassment.Yes, that was definitely the case.

He smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately continued to bring up Rosalie's past, "Mom, no matter what, | lived in thishouse for 20 years before | moved out. | do still have some understanding of you."

"If you don't like cooking, then you don't. No one will hate you for it. Besides, Dad has never said he isn't willing to cook for you,and | don't have the right to say anything about you either."

“But since you're saying that I'm too casual with my words, | certainly do have things to say."

"| think it's normal for a family to talk casually, isn't it? Aren't you saying whatever you want too? Why is it that the moment Icasually say something, you become all prickly? That can't be good, can it?"novelbin

“Not to mention that now I've moved back and I'm going to be living here every day. Whether you have cooked in a long time willbe evident over the next two days. I'd like to see if you've suddenly changed your nature and you're going to start cooking daily.Or perhaps you're going to try and be a good mother."

"If you cook for me every day, then | should properly thank you, Mom, for completely making up for the loving meals that | haven'tenjoyed for the past 20 years!"

As soon as these words were uttered,

Nelson's lips curved into a smile as he was cooking. It seemed that Jensen's words had hit the nail on the head.Rosalie's expression was very awkward.

She was furious when Jensen deliberately say those words.

If she cooked every day, she might go crazy!

But if she didn't, she would end up being laughed at by him. Especially in front of Alice, she would be looked down upon.

So, Rosalie snorted. "Then you'd better watch and see if | can persist in cooking every day. But if | do that, your wife must helpme and be my assistant every day!"

Rosalie was doing this on purpose.

Knowing that Jensen wanted to humiliate her, she wouldn't let him succeed. She had to get Alice involved and get her to stay inthe kitchen every day.

However, Jensen smiled and replied, "Mom, you might not be too aware of it, but Alice is not a housewife. She will soon takeover the Smith Group, as the head of the group no less. Therefore, she'll have to socialize a lot every day. Most of the time, she'llbe working at the company. How would she have time to be your assistant in the kitchen?"

The word "housewife" deeply pierced Rosalie's heart again. The moment she got provoked, she would explode in a fit of rage.She didn't expect Jensen to hit her sore spot over and over again.

At this point, Rosalie's expression was extremely awkward.She glanced at Jensen and then at Alice, and her eyes were full of displeasure.Alice could not bear to see Rosalie like this. She knew that Jensen had done it on purpose.

She didn't know what was going on either. Jensen, who was usually gentle and elegant, kept provoking Rosalie and deliberatelytried to hurt her.

Alice dared to vouch for it.“Alice, are you that busy?" Rosalie looked at Alice and asked.Alice immediately said, "Oh, not really!"

“Mom, if you ask Alice, how is she supposed to answer you? If she tells you that she's busy, you definitely won't understand. It'shard to put yourself in someone else's shoes and consider their point of view."

"You will find out how busy she is later. There's a lot to work to do when it comes to Smith Group, and she has a heavy burden toshoulder. | hope you can both understand Alice, Mom, Dad. Don't ask her for any favors in the future. Also, it'll be a normaloccurrence for her to leave early and return late."

As soon as Jensen finished speaking, Rosalie's expression changed again. From what she could see, he was just trying to standin her way in all ways possible while trying to excuse Alice.

Nonetheless, Nelson nodded and agreed, "Alright. Young people are ambitious, and they should be invested in building theircareer. Don't worry about us and do what you have to. We are retired, and your mother is a housewife. She can't understandbecause she has not worked like that before."

He said that she had never worked!Rosalie was about to burst from rage.This father-son duo was mercilessly hitting her sore spots over and over again.

She was a housewife, who had never worked before.

She hadn't cooked in a long time and wasn't used to it.

These were all her sore spots.

She was extremely furious.

Rosalie's expression was distorted into an ugly expression, yet she couldn't act out.

Alice felt awkward too, and sheimmediately spoke up, "Dad, Momdoesn't have it easy either as bg ifeof a polic man, \es 6rd Staying witheawAll (eur life is in danger all thetime. She will understand me. We'reboth women, after all. If | canunderstand Mom, then | believe shewill understand me as well." Pleaseread the original content atNovelDrama.Org.

Alice could see that Rosalie had been targeted by the two. If she didn't speak out and stand on her side, Rosalie might actuallydie of anger.

She could only say so to help Rosalie out of trouble.As soon as she said this, Nelson looked at Alice with appreciation in his eyes.As for Rosalie, she was also greatly moved by Alice's words. She shifted her gaze to Alice and stared with watery eyes.

She put down the things in her handand said in a low voice, "Do what youhave to and do your jpdjaropert |yoy dontuhaveld db and end upbecoming a housewife, people willlook down on you. Don't worry, | canunderstand your situation." Pleaseread the original content atNovelDrama.Org.

When she walked past Alice in the instant and they brushed shoulders, Alice sensed that Rosalie's eyes were full of loneliness.Alice thought that one of Rosalie's greatest pains was that she didn't have a job.Without a job, it meant she didn't have any say in the family's finances.

After thinking for a while, Alice couldn't bear it any longer. Therefore, she looked up at Jensen and then at Nelson.Nelson said, "Jensen, come and help me out. Alice, you should head to the living room and rest up.""Okay," Jensen complied and entered the kitchen.

On the other hand, Alice said, "I'll go and accompany Mom."
