The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 880

As both of them continued talking, a burning smell suddenly spread throughout the kitchen.

Matilda exclaimed, "Oh no! My stir-fried shrimp!"

After that, she hurriedly pushed Jacob away and she was blushing as she ran towards the side of the stove. She looked at the pan and she suddenly wailed, "It's over! It's gone! The shrimp is burnt now!"

Jacob hurriedly reminded her, "Turn off the fire quickly! Otherwise, it’ll get even more burnt!"

Matilda hurriedly turned off the gas on the stove. The shrimp in the pan was completely burnt at this point. She could only say helplessly, "This is all your fault! The stir-fried shrimp was originally my best dish but now it is completely destroyed..."

Jacob also felt very guilty and embarrassed.

Therefore, he hurriedly said, "Should I go out to buy you another bag of shrimp?"

At this time, both Charlie and Paul who were enjoying their tea outside also smell the burning smell coming out from the kitchen. Charlie subconsciously asked, "D o you think they burnt something?" 8

Paul frowned before he replied, "My mother is a very professional cook. I don’t think that something like that would happen while she's cooking..." 6

Charlie stood up and said, "Paul, why don't you sit down and wait for me for a short while. I’ll go in and take a look at what's happening just in case something's wrong."

Paul hurriedly replied, "Then I'll come with you too."

When Paul was preparing to stand up, Charlie quickly stretched out his hand to stop him before he smiled and said, "Please sit down and enjoy your tea. I'll just g o and take a quick look by myself.”

However, Charlie could see that his father-in-law and his first love's faces were flushed red. It felt like they must have some close and intimate contact just now. 5

Charlie deliberately pretended to be surprised as he asked, "Dad! Aunt Hall, did you burn something? Are both of you alright?” 5

Jacob hurriedly replied, "Well, we’re fine. Nothing’s wrong, everything's fine. We accidentally burnt a dish but Aunt Hall and I are dealing with it now. You don’t have to worry about anything." 4

How could a dish possibly be burnt when there were two people watching over it? Charlie could not help but think that they must have been up to no good just now.

At this time, Jacob had a guilty conscience and he said, "Charlie, you should just go out and enjoy your tea and conversation with Paul. Aunt Hall and I can deal with this on our own..."
