NOVPUBChapter 974: 461 Faith_3 Chapter 974: 461 Faith_3 Kelly Martinez gave Anton Cook a meaningful glance.
Anton Cook, a “toad” in this context, looked up at the sky speechlessly.
“If you’re bored, consider signing up for a stand-up comedy class.
The comedy field is missing a big shot without you.” 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Kelly Martinez rubbed her chin, “I think so too…..”
Clydie knocked on the door and carried in a tray with a bowl of rice noodles, a stack of snacks, and a plate of cut fruits.
“You eat something first, I’ll prepare lunch later.”
Kelly Martinez looked at her.
“This is more like it.
...
A girl’s sincerity is the most appealing.”
Clydie blushed and left after setting down the tray.
Kelly Martinez took a bite of the rice noodles.
“I think you should write a book called ‘The Feasibility of Repentance’, or maybe ‘The Years I Spent As A Bodhisattva’.
It’ll surely be a global bestseller.”
Master Aubree Groove rolled up her sleeves and walked out, ignoring her.
In the kitchen, Clydie was squatting on the floor selecting vegetables.
She promptly stood up when she saw Master Groove entering.
“Master Aubree, are you hungry?
Let me cook now, just wait a little while longer….”
Master Groove had already squatted down and began to select vegetables efficiently.
Clydie paused for a moment and then squatted down quickly, “Master Aubree, how can you do such dirty work?”
Master Groove continued to work without looking up, said: “Aunt Ledger sent over a basket of taro.
Wash them, we’ll make caramelized taro for lunch.”
Master Groove skillfully rinsed the selected vegetables by the well, then proceeded to wash and steam the rice.
Clydie thought, she’s not an aloof rich lady after all, but a humble commoner.
Certainly, an over-glorious one.
They set out a large round table in the courtyard with a variety of dishes on it.
All the dishes were vegetarian.
Colorful, fragrant, and yummy, the sight brought water to the mouth.
Madon Linggo walked in confidently, “It’s a great honor to get to savor Ms.
Aubree’s cooking.”
The timing was just right.
Ms.
Aubree uncapped her apron and wiped her face, smiling, she said: “Sergeant Linggo, please.”
Peter Aria followed Madon Linggo’s steps.
It was his first time tasting the food made by Ms.
Aubree.
He had always thought the praises that netizens kept lavishing on Ms.
Aubree were a bit exaggerated.
Until he tasted her cooking, he finally realized that they had been underappreciating her.
It takes skill to make ordinary vegetables and tofu taste exceptionally good.
It’s not just about controlling the cooking duration or the ratio of the ingredients.
He could taste the dedication, patience, and sincerity that many ordinary chefs were lacking.
Just like life, cooking has its own sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and spiciness.
Life wouldn’t be life without any of these elements.
Kelly Martinez hummed: “I’ve known you for so long, but never saw you cook for me.
Today, I’m only able to taste it because of them?”
Anton Cook replied coldly, “You’re lucky to have something to eat.”
After eating, Aubree then turned to Madon Linggo, “Sergeant Linggo, how is the case coming along?”
Clydie perked up her ears, this was what she was most concerned about.
“This afternoon, my colleagues will come to take Norman Capris back to Pethkids to face trial.
However, Dr.
Aria and I will still need to stay here for a few days.”
Hearing that Norman Capris would be taken to Pethkids, Clydie let out a sigh of relief.
She hoped to never see Norman Capris again.
Kelly Martinez glanced at Madon Linggo and Peter Aria, “What’s so interesting about Four Seasons Town?
You guys can’t be here for sightseeing, can you?”
Madon Linggo laughed without actually laughing: “Mr.
Brian doesn’t need to worry about it.”
Kelly Martinez rolled her eyes, “Even if you won’t tell me, I already know.”
Madon Linggo just squinted his eyes without saying a word.
After lunch, Clydie stayed to wash the dishes, while Master Groove went to town’s health clinic with the leftover food to visit Madam Capris’ husband.
He was hit by a stick by Norman Capris which resulted in a cut on his head.
Luckily, it wasn’t a major injury.
Lidya Linggo knocked on Granny Dewey’s room with a bowl in her hand, “Granny, let me feed you.”
“This is a noodle soup made by Master Aubree Groove herself.
She put a few Chinese medicines in it that are easy to digest and absorb.”
Granny Dewey gratefully said, “Thank Master Aubree Groove for me.”
Lidya Linggo’s eyes wandered, “Granny, do I look familiar to you?”
Granny Dewey’s sight was bad.
When she heard the question, she squinted her eyes and leaned forward.
When she saw Lidya Linggo’s face clearly, she suddenly screamed and sat straight up.
“You…
you…”
Lidya Linggo squinted her eyes and smiled, “Does Granny finally recognize me?”
Granny Dewey suddenly furrowed her eyebrows as if remembering something.
She shook her head, “No…
I mistook you for someone else…
I’m tired, I want to rest, you can go out first.”
After finishing her words, she laid down without eating and turned her back to Lidya Linggo.
