Chapter 884


    At this time, Matilda gave ire some steamed fish in vinegar sauce before she smiled and said,


    "ire, why don''t you try the fish? This is also one of my specialty dishes. However, I’ve not cooked


    this in a long time so I''m not sure if it will suit your appetite." 6


    When ire saw Matilda enthusiastically cing the fish in her bowl, ire nodded slightly in order


    not to hurt her feelings. After that, she said, "Thank you, Aunt Hall. You don''t have to keep giving


    me food. You should eat first." 4


    Matilda nodded before she smiled and said, "Alright then. Make sure that you eat more today. If you


    can''t reach any dishes, ask Charlie to take some food for you then."


    ire nodded immediately. After that, she tasted the fish that Matilda had ced in her bowl. ire


    could not help but marvel in shock as soon as she tasted the fish. 7


    Matilda’s cooking was really delicious and amazing. The fish was soft, chewy, and very fragrant. 5


    Jacob was also dumbfounded.


    He has never eaten such delicious home-cooked food i n his entire life. Eating a delicious meal at


    home waspletely different from eating a delicious meal in a restaurant.


    There was a warm feeling of blessing when a person ate at home and that feeling would always


    keep a man lingering and hovering, s


    This was the main reason why there was a saying that went ''a woman must first fill up a man''s


    stomach if they wanted to keep a man''s heart’. 9

    Jacob felt that his stomach and taste buds had beenpletely conquered by Matilda''s amazing


    cooking skills at this time.


    He looked at Paul with an envious look on his face before he said, "You''re really blessed, Paul! Your


    mother''s cooking is simply amazing." 1


    Paul smiled before he said seriously, "Uncle Wilson, that depends entirely on how you look at the


    situation."


    "For instance, I was suffering when I was away at college since my mother wasn''t around to cook


    for me after I left home. Everything that I ate at college seemed tasteless." 5


    "Later, I had to travel frequently because I was busy at work. At that time, I was flying in and out of


    the United States very frequently and I had no chance to taste the food cooked and prepared by my


    mother at all."


    "However, I''ve already gotten used and ustomed to the taste of her cooking, I can’t get used to


    eating out a t all. That kind of feeling is actually very painful too."


    Jacob sighed as he said, "That’s true. It would be easy for people to change from a frugal to a


    luxurious lifestyle, but it would be difficult for a person to give u p an extravagant and luxurious


    lifestyle for a frugal one. Your mother''s cooking is really very delicious. If I were you, I would no


    longer be interested in any food outside."


    As soon as ire heard the cryptic meaning behind her father’s words, she was not very happy.


    Therefore, she picked up her wine ss before she said, "Aunt Hall, let me give you a toast. You


    came back here all the way from the United States. It must have been very difficult for you to do so.


    I would like to sincerely wee you back home."


    Matilda hurriedly picked up her wine ss before she smiled and said, "Thank you, ire. Let''s


    enjoy this drink together!”


    ire touched her wine ss slightly with Matilda''s wine ss. After that, she sighed as she said,


    "Well, it''s really a pity that my mother isn''t home now. She has been talking about you for so many


    years. She''d b e really happy to know that you are back in Aurous Hill." 9


    As soon as ire mentioned ine, the expression on Jacob and Matilda’s faces changed


    immediately.


    Both of them knew very well that ire was deliberately mentioning ine at this time. She wanted


    to remind them that this was her mother''s family and home and even if she was not at home


    now, she was still the mistress of this house! s


    Matilda was slightly embarrassed and she smiled awkwardly as she said, "I haven’t seen your


    mother in so many years and I really want to see her too.”


    After that, Matilda turned around to look at Jacob before she asked him, "By the way, where’s


    ine? Why isn’t she home?"


    Jacob hurriedly replied, "She has gone back to her mother’s house for the past few days. She will


    be back soon."
