Chapter 134
“Stop howling. The chef is not here.” Rebecca came out of the kitchen. Zane looked at her and asked, “Where did the chef go?”
“In the afternoon, the chef went out to make purchases but never came back. Just now, I called them, and they said that on the way back, there was a landslide, so they were blocked by it and couldn’t come back.” Rebecca shrugged.
Blinking, Tyler questioned, “Then what about our dinner tonight?”
“What else can we do? We have to make it ourselves. I went to the kitchen just now and found that there are plenty of ingredients there already.” Rebecca pointed in the direction of the kitchen.
Hearing that, Tyler wailed. “You mean to say that we have to cook by ourselves?”
“Or what?” Rebecca rolled her eyes.
The corners of Zane’s mouth twitched as he said, “Does anyone here know how to
cook?”
Once these words came out, everyone fell silent. After a while, except for Sonia, they shook their heads one after another, saying that they didn’t. After all, it was a fact that all the people present were from wealthy families and had been served with a silver spoon in their mouths since childhood, so they certainly didn’t know how to cook.
“It’s over then. It looks like we won’t have anything to eat tonight.” Zane touched his stomach and spoke with a bitter smile.
Rebecca gave him a sidelong glance, saying, “It’s all because of you. You were the one bringing me here and causing me to have no food.”
At that, Zane bristled. “Who knew the chef was so unlucky to have encountered a landslide?”
“Yeah” Rebecca sighed.
Then, Tina pulled Toby’s sleeve. “Toby, what should we do? I’m so hungry!”
Toby’s thin lips moved as he replied, “There should be snacks in the kitchen. Let’s go
look for them and make do with them.”
“That’s all we can do.” Tina nodded. Thus, the two of them went to the kitchen.
Tyler did not want to be with Tina, so he did not go with them.
Soon, the two came out again, but their hands were empty, and there was nothing. Seeing that, Charles scoffed at them. “Didn’t you go look for snacks? Where are the snacks?”
Toby’s face was cold as he ignored him. As for Tina, she softly replied, “There are no snacks in the kitchen.”
“Are you serious? We don’t even have snacks? Looks like we’re destined to go hungry tonight,” Zane said unhappily.
Next, Charles looked at Sonia beside him. “Darling, are you hungry?”
When Toby heard this, he also looked at Sonia with imperceptible concern in his eyes. Noticing that, Tina clenched her fists slightly.
“A little; how about you?” Sonia nodded.
Charles touched his stomach and replied, “I’m hungry too.”
“Then I’ll go make some food,” Sonia said.
Other than Tyler and Toby, everyone else was shocked.
“Darling, you know how to cook?” Charles looked at Sonia in shock.
Before Sonia could answer, Tyler was the first to answer with his eyes lighting up, “Sonia knows how to cook, and her cooking is delicious.”
“Don’t tell me you have even tasted her cooking?” Charles turned his gaze to him with dissatisfaction.
Tyler proudly raised his chin and answered, “Of course. For six whole years even! Look at you being so surprised that she can cook. It seems that you have not tasted what she’s capable of.”
The corners of Sonia’s mouth twitched. Is he so thick-skinned? When have I said I’m going to cook for him?
“No,” she rejected him.
Clapping his hands, Charles laughed and said, “Do you hear that? My darling said no!”
Tyler glared at him, then looked at Sonia with sadness written all over his face. “But why?”
“Because we have nothing to do with each other. Why should I cook for someone who has nothing to do with me? Besides, your brother and your sister-in-law are here. If you want to eat, look for them.” Sonia pointed at Toby and Tina and walked toward the kitchen.
Charles smiled smugly at Tyler, then followed her.
As for Rebecca, she suddenly thought of something and raised her hand before saying loudly, “President Reed, I’ll help you out. Will you make an extra portion for me?”
“Me too, Sonia. Last time you hurt your foot, and I was the one who took you to the hospital.” Zane also spoke up.
Sonia smiled at them. “Okay, then all of you come over and help.”
“Got it.” Zane and Rebecca laughingly followed.
In the living room, Toby and the others could still hear the sound of laughter coming from the kitchen from time to time. They had no idea what the people inside said, but Sonia laughed very loudly. Pursing his lips, Toby sat on the sofa, and when he thought of her smiling at Charles and the others, he felt frustrated.
Am I really that annoying to her?
Tina did not say anything and only slightly lowered her head with her hands folded together.
Soon, the rich aroma of food wafted out of the kitchen. When Tyler smelled it, he felt even hungrier, and his stomach rumbled. The knot in Toby’s throat couldn’t help but move, and his eyes were slightly dark. He knew that Sonia could cook because she had cooked for him before, but he never ate anything she made. Yet, it turned out that she was so good at cooking; just the aroma alone made people salivate, so one could imagine how delicious it was when they ate it.
“Toby, why don’t we go cook too?” Suddenly, Tina pulled Toby’s sleeve and proposed.
