Eudora quickly bought the ingredients and followed Amos back.
When they arrived home, Cindy, whom Amos had called for, was already there. She was a young lady, and Amos had said that she seemed to have some combat skills. It seemed that she had learned her fighting skills from the same organization as Charlie.
Eudora had initially thought that the ladies from that organization would be boring and dull. However, Cindy was sweet and cute, just like her name.
Cindy immediately walked up to greet them as soon as Eudora and the others entered, âMr. and Mrs. Granger, welcome back! Itâs getting late. Would you like me to cook?â
Eudora quickly shook her head, âNot today. Iâll be cooking.â
Cindy was surprised, âMadam, are you worried that my cooking wonât taste good? Although my cooking skills may not be as good as yours, Iâve recently received an advanced cooking certificate, and my instructor is a first-class Michelin cook. I also took a culinary exam a while ago, but itâs a shame that I only got a level 2 qualification. However, Iâll continue to improve myself! President Granger told me that I have to cook your favorite dish. Why donât you let me cook instead?â
Eudora was flustered.
âAre you sure that your cooking isnât as good as mine? Iâm confident that you are a much better cook than I am. Itâs such a pity that a proficient cook like you is only cooking at my home!â Eudora pondered in her mind.
âIf you have any doubts, I could show you my certificate.â
âNo!â Eudora explained hurriedly, âItâs not that I donât believe in your cooking skills. Iâve been planning to cook since earlier today. It has nothing to do with you. Cooking has long been my hobby, isnât it, Amos?â
Amos nodded, âWhatever you say! But you need to take care of yourself. Why donât I help you with that?â
âNo, Iâll be fine on my own. You guys could just wait outside for dinner!â
After that, she went into the kitchen alone.
Wesley and Charlie, who had eaten Eudoraâs cooking before, were looking forward to it. Even though she had not gone through professional training like Cindy did, Eudoraâs food still had a place in their hearts.
It wasnât farfetched to say that Eudoraâs cooking would remind one of their warm homes! Her cooking would leave a lingering experience and even remind someone of their motherâs cooking.
Cindy saw the excitement on their face, and she asked instinctively, âIs it that delicious?â
âOf course, you are in luck today! You still need to work harder on your cooking.â
Cindy nodded, âI will!â
Eudora came out of the kitchen a few moments later. The smell of scorched food filled the air as soon as the door was opened. Charlie was on high alert and he immediately rushed over.
âIs something burning?â
âItâs okay!â Eudora was very calm, âYou guys came in the nick of time. Hurry up and serve the dishes!â
Charlie immediately nodded and quickly walked over to see Eudoraâs cooking.
The next second, he was surprised for a moment.
The dishes looked rather odd. All of them were cooked with excessive oil, thus, they looked extremely greasy and burnt.
Cindy didnât understand what was happening. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she said, âThey all look so unique!â
Wesley glared at her and immediately said, âThis must be Madamâs latest recipe! Letâs serve them while they are still hot.â
He immediately took two plates from the shelf.
Charlie also followed suit and set the dishes out.
âLetâs eat together!â Eudora said, âPlease enjoy yourself at home!â
After that, she sat down.
Eudora said hurriedly when she noticed that none of them had lifted their fork, âLetâs eat!â
She had almost emptied a bottle of cooking oil in the kitchen just to make these dishes unappetizing and unpalatable. At last, they looked as unappetizing as she had hoped.
Amos took a spoonful into his mouth casually, and the people next to him looked at him expectantly.
Eudora was anticipating his reaction too. She was expecting him to spit the food out the moment it entered his mouth.
Surprisingly, he didnât.
Not only that, he even chewed it patiently. Finally, he swallowed it slowly and praised, âItâs delicious.â
Eudora was flustered.
She seriously wondered if her cooking was that good. Amosâs genuine reaction was the main reason for her doubt. He looked so sincere and unpretentious that she didnât want to believe what she just saw.
She subconsciously picked up her spoon to take a bite.
Just as she was about to lift her spoon, Amos had already snatched away all her dining ware.
âI want the whole dish. Itâs too delicious.â
Juju picked her spoon up quickly and said, âI want some too. Give me some.â
The next second, Jujuâs dining ware was taken away by Amos as well, âI want to eat more.â
This left Eudora and Juju in a state of bewilderment. Cindy, Charlie, and Wesley, who were next to them, were very eager to have their first bite.
âAs I said, the Madamâs cooking skill is top-notch. You canât miss it!â
Cindy nodded and said, âI canât believe that Iâm so lucky to taste the Madamâs cooking on my first day here. Iâll try to learn from it!
Each of them then took a spoonful into their mouth.
In the next second, all three of them paused, and they all had an incredulous expression on their faces.
Eudoraâs face was full of nervousness, âWhatâs wrong?â
In the next second, they heard Amos say, âAppreciate what you haveâ¦â
The implication was that every meal was hard-earned!
Amos was warning them not to spit the food out.
They finally knew why Amos could be a person of his caliber, considering how he had remained so calm despite having eaten three bites in a row. This kind of composure and resilience were all worth admiring.
Finally, Charlie was first to stand up as he mumbled, âI⦠I still have something important to attend to. Please excuse me.â
Wesley looked angrily at Charlie, who had left abruptly. He got up and left hastily to catch up with him, âIâll help you with thatâ¦â
Cindy watched eagerly as the two men left the dining table. She couldnât find an excuse and had to say, âI⦠I think I heard someone calling me from outside.â
After that, she also ran out quickly.
There was no doubt that both Wesley and Charlie spat everything in their mouths into the trash can once they were outside.
Cindy also puked before exhaling deeply, âMy goodness, it certainly feels great to be alive. I thought that it was going to be my last meal!â
Wesley nodded. He felt that he was being fooled by Charlie. Last time, he had seen a very resilient, independent, and charismatic side to the Madam. Therefore, he thought what Charlie said was true.
That was why he was so excited about her cooking. Who would have thought that things would turn out this way?
âCharlie, do you have something against me?â
Wesley gritted his teeth as he asked. Cindy, who was next to him, immediately nodded.
âCharlie, I donât think that Iâve ever offended you, right? How could you lie to me like that? I really wanted to learn cooking from Madam!â
Cindy felt that Eudoraâs cooking really tasted like her motherâs cooking.
Her mother was never a good cook, and she did grow up eating such awful-tasting dishes.
Charlie sighed. He felt that there was no way for him to explain his way out of this.
