Chapter 269: 269: Really Made the Dubious Man Leave in Anger
Soon, Enna Clark and Lulu Kennedy had the meal served on the table.
“I want to sit next to Uncle Baron!” Tobias Clark swiftly took the seat on Baron Lawrence’s left.
Without needing any prompting, his little sidekick Rose Howell climbed up to the right side, “I want to sit next to the handsome uncle, too.”
The two kids claimed the seats on both sides of Baron Lawrence.
Enna could only sit next to Lulu Kennedy, with Wyndham Howell on her side. Wyndham looked at the spread of dishes on the table in surprise, then turned and asked Enna, “Enna, did you make all these?”
“No, I couldn’t have made all these on my own. Ms. Lulu helped with two dishes.”
Tobias immediately asked, “Ms. Lulu, which two dishes did you make?”
With cheeks blushing, Lulu said shyly, “I made the vinegar sauce eggplant and stir-fried shredded pork. My cooking skills aren’t great, and they’re not as tasty as Sister Enna’s.”
“Let me try.” Tobias grabbed a chopstick full of eggplant, fed it into his mouth, and chewed it twice. He felt it was not as good as his wife’s cooking, but he still complimented it, “Delicious!”
Lulu took his word for it and was overjoyed, “Really?”
Tobias felt slightly guilty, as he glanced over at the Dubious Man who was wearing a dark expression and his wife who had a lot on her mind, but decided to lie in the end, “Really, Ms. Lulu, your cooking is delicious. I’ll have Uncle
Baron give it a try. If you don’t trust me, you should trust Uncle Baron, right?”
With that said, he quickly placed a slice of eggplant in Baron Lawrence’s bowl, tilting his head like a polite little baby, “Uncle Baron, eat.”
Then, not minding whether Baron ate it or not, he grabbed a braised spare rib and put it into Wyndham Howell’s bowl, “Uncle Wyndham, this braised spare rib is Mummy’s specialty, it’s really delicious. Give it a taste. It’s definitely much better than the ribs sold outside.” He gave Baron the eggplant!
He gave Wyndham Howell the spare ribs!
And those braised spare ribs were made by Enna herself!
Baron Lawrence’s suppressed anger was almost completely ignited at this moment. He dropped his chopsticks and stood up, saying coldly, “I’m full, you guys enjoy your meal,” before leaving without waiting for others to say anything.
The room door swung open with a creak, then slammed shut with a bang!
There was silence in the living room.
Lulu hesitated and asked uneasily, “Um… did Mr. Lawrence get angry because the eggplant I made wasn’t good?”
Wyndham Howell was the only other person in the room who knew the truth. He kindly reassured Lulu, “It’s probably not that. Maybe Baron’s appetite isn’t good. Don’t worry about it. Let’s eat.”
Tobias succeeded in making the Dubious Man leave, but when he was actually gone, Tobias somehow felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Glancing down at the colorful band-aids on his arm, he couldn’t help but remember the Dubious Man coming to his kindergarten, getting Rhiannon to apologize to him, applying medicine to his wounds, and taking him to the amusement park…
Tobias felt a sudden tightness in his chest and lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks and said to the others, “Uncle Wyndham, Ms. Lulu, I’m full too. You guys enjoy.”
“Brother Tobias?” While Rose was happily munching on spare ribs, she noticed Tobias had stopped eating. Although she was reluctant to let go of the spare ribs, Rose put down her chopsticks, gazing longingly at the ribs while saying, “Rose is full too, not eating anymore….”
