Chapter 482: I Have Chosen A Guy For You


    J got to leave work on time today for her first design case was finally approved by her boss. She


    seldom came home early these days, so Johanna was thrilled and turned to Beal.


    “You go and buy something that J likes. We’ll have a big dinner tonight!”


    Then, she smiled and held J’s hand.


    “My dear, you’ve gone to work for only a week. Why have you lost so much weight?”


    However, J felt the opposite. “You’re exaggerating, Mom. I feel I’ve gained a lot of weight.” After


    getting to know Johanna and getting along with her, J felt she liked exaggerating everything.


    Johanna smiled and chose not to say anything. Beal patted his legs and stood up from the sofa.


    “All right. I’ll go to the grocery store right away. J, you grew up in Seacisco, right? So I presume


    you’d like spicy food.” “Actually, I can’t eat spicy food.” J licked her lips sheepishly. Her taste had


    always been different from that of the people in Seasisco.


    Johanna and Beal exchanged nces and burst outughing. J frowned in confusion.


    “Why are you twoughing?” Beal shook his head, sighing.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Your mother and I don’t like spicy food either. But L likes it. We asionally make something spicy


    just for her.” Beal soon returned from the grocery store and cooked a storm for dinner.


    “Your father is an exceptional cook. I’ve learned a lot from him.” Johannaughed and kept filling J’s


    te with food.


    All the dishes were out of the world. J felt she must have inherited her cooking skills from her father.


    Beal smiled at his wife’spliment. Then, he turned to look at J.


    “How are you doing in the newpany? Do you like working there?” J’s face lit up when her dad


    brought up her new job.


    “It has been great so far, Dad. Everyone in the studio seems nice.” Theyughed and chatted happily.


    L ate in silence. The warm scene made her stomach churn with unease. It seemed like only the three


    were a family and that she was a mere outsider. Besides, Beal and Johanna had beenuding J to


    everyone all day long while L sat in a corner like a failure.


    But despite the resentment, L knew she wasn’t as capable as J. She waszy and could never


    endure hardships and responsibilities like J.


    L lost her appetite as she thought about it. She despised J. Now that J had be the


    daughter of a wealthy family,she could have enjoyed the privilege of leading a luxurious life without doing


    anything. But she insisted on going to work. L felt like a loser; it was stressful.


    “I’m full. Enjoy yourselves.” She wiped her mouth with a napkin and stood up. L couldn’t watch the


    sweet interaction anymore. It upset her. Therefore, she decided to leave.


    Seeing that, Johanna served some more food to J’s te and said, “You two eat first. I need to talk


    to L about something.”


    Beal and Johanna looked at each other and nodded in silent gesture. L returned to her room,


    depressed. Johanna quickly followed upstairs.


    “What’s the matter, Mom?” L’s face softened. She couldn’t help but wonder if her mother had noticed


    her displeasure. Was Johanna here tofort her? Johanna entered L’s room and closed the door


    behind her.


    “L, I have chosen a guy for you.”
