Be Nice
Instead of getting annoyed, Aaron found Pat’s behavior adorable.
Once they’d gotten back, Arielle went ahead and prepared the ingredients. Pat was helping her rinse the
vegetables at the same time. While the Wilhelms were reading newspapers, they would go into the
kitchen to check up on them from time to time. It was a heart-warming scene.
When Aaron saw that, he was filled with envy. I want to have a warm and blissful family as well.
After an hour, the exquisite dishes were served at the dining table. Aaron couldn’t help but drool when he
got a whiff of the delicious food.
Between keeping his pride and enjoying the food, he ended up choosing the latter. Hence, he acted
casual as he made his way toward the table before taking a seat. In fact, he was quite nervous. What if
little kitty chases me away? Wait, even if she does, I’m going to stay.
“Hey! San made these for me. You’re not allowed to eat.” Pat stared at Aaron warily when he sat down
next to him. Pat was extremely protective of the food served. He was worried that Aaron might finish
them all up.
“Pat, be nice,” Andrea instructed gently. Surprisingly, it worked. Upon hearing that, Pat immediately toned
down and behaved himself.
Aaron realized Arielle didn’t mind having him around for the meal because she had put five sets of
utensils on the table. With his confidence renewed, he turned and taunted Pat, “Hey! Did you forget
where those ingredients come from?” At the same time, he was trying to divert the attention away from
himself.
Although he heard Aaron loud and clear, Pat kept mum. All the ingredients are provided by this bad man.
If I say anything further, he might chase me away and keep all the dishes to himself. I better not say
another word.
Despite thinking so, Pat wasn’t willing to back down just like that. After pondering for a while, he decided
to scoff and roll his eyes at Aaron. Aaron found the boy’s actions amusing and burst into laughter.
Frustrated, Pat rolled his eyes at him again.
As Arielle was serving up the last dish, she raised her brows when she saw Aaron sitting at the table.
That’s quite self-conscious of him. After spending a day with him, he doesn’t seem like a bad person at
all. Although he’d kidnapped the Wilhems to blackmail me, he hasn’t done anything to harm them.
Actually, she had her reason for letting Aaron have a meal with them. She wanted to get on his good side
so that she could use him to find her biological father once they had arrived at Turlen. Since I don’t speak
Turlenese, and I don’t know anything about the place, I have to build a rapport with him.
“San, take a seat. You’ve already done so much,” Andrea said with a smile on her face.
Hubert took a piece of the braised pork and put it into his mouth. Instantly, he widened his eyes in
amazement. He glanced at Arielle and praised, “San, your cooking skills have improved again! This is
amazing!”
“San, the meat is so tender and delicious!” Pat exclaimed after having some spicy beef stew. He was
very impressed with the food, and he quickly took some more.
When Andrea saw how much Pat and Hubert were enjoying the food, she picked up her utensils and
started digging in. Aaron, on the other hand, was skeptical. These three must be overreacting. I’ve eaten
quite a lot of Chanaean dishes myself, and Maureen’s Kitchen has the best food. How is it possible that
little kitty can cook better than them?
However, he immediately changed his mind after having a taste of the spicy beef stew, which he had
also eaten at Maureen’s Kitchen. Wow! Not only is this spicy beef stew comparable to Maureen’s
Kitchen’s, but I think it’s even better!
