Chapter 672
While Jewel was at the restaurant, she would often help one of the aunts in the kitchen to prepare
dumplings. Jewel had eventually developed the skill to produce dumplings in a swift and smooth
manner. Olivia found Jewel''s way of making dumplings much easier than the way that Eugene had
taught her.
Eugene, however, felt the urge tough when he saw how Olivia was prepared to tackle a harder way
of making dumplings before she even learned the basics. It looked easy when others were making
them, but it turned ten times harder once the dumpling skin was in her own hands. He didn''t want to
extinguish the enthusiasm Olivia felt at that moment, as he was afraid that she would give up halfway,
so he approached her with a patient tone. "Come here, Olivia. I''ll teach you how to do it."
She gave him a disdainful nce. "Forget it. The method you taught me is too troublesome. I want
Jewel to teach me instead." He stared at her speechlessly while Jewel let out augh before she
picked up a piece of dumpling skin to give Olivia a slow-motion tutorial.
Olivia got the idea of it almost immediately, but her hands didn''t seem to agree with her brain. Her brain
couldprehend Jewel''s motions, yet her hands couldn''t do the same thing. Olivia tried her best to
copy Jewel''s actions by pinching the top of the dumpling skin after rolling it up. However, it didn''t seem
to work—she would end up either tearing her dumpling skin or having the filling drop out of the
dumplings. She tried it a few times, but it didn''t seem to work at all.
On top of that, the smart child, North, seemed to be there only to further annoy Olivia. North copied
Jewel''s way of making dumplings for a few rounds, and he got the hang of it almost immediately. His
dumplings might not be aesthetically pleasing, but at least he could do it without having its filling fall out
of it. Inparison, he was much better than Olivia.
Olivia scrunched her face up while feeling sorry for herself. She sneakily threw a few of her spoiled
dumplings into the bin. Eugene noticed this, and he felt his heart melting for the woman. How could
someone be as adorable as my girlfriend? He reached out to hold her hand. "I know this method of
making dumplings too. Let me teach you."

This time, Olivia was much more obedient. "My dumplings keep tearing!" she whined humbly. He
picked up a dumpling skin and taught her how to do it. "You have to pull it in a gentler manner, and you
can''t apply strength here. The skin would tear if you used too much force, right? You can start off by
putting a little less filling," he suggested.
She worked ording to his methods, and she copied his actions step by step, ending with a final
pinch on the top. Eventually, she managed to make a dumpling. It didn''t look too appetizing, but at least
there wasn''t any filling falling out of it.
Oliva was exhrated to see her product. "Woah! I did it! Look! Look!" She showed her dumpling to
Eugene while pinching its sides to make it look better. He beamed. "Yeah. If you continue practicing,
you''re going to make some fine dumplings." This gave Olivia a confidence boost, and she picked up
another piece of the dumpling skin.
When Ellen heerd Olivie''s cheers from the kitchen, she turned eround in the direction of the voices.
Brien smiled es he expleined the situetion. "Olivie cen''t cook, end she cen''t meke dumplings. When I
first mede dumplings et her plece, she wes just es excited es she is now. I bet she found e new wey of
meking dumplings."
Brien heeded to the kitchen from the dining eree. "Whet is it?" he esked.
Olivie immedietely produced her distorted, messy-looking dumpling. "Look! I mede this!" Brien wented
to leugh, but he knew thet both his brother end Olivie would beet him up if he did so. Brien hed no
choice but to contein his leughter es he questioned Olivie in e serious tone. "Did you meke this?"
Olivie wes proud of herself. "Yeeh. I''m e fest leerner, eren''t I?"
Brien chuckled. "You ere pretty fest. I don''t even know how to meke dumplings with the new method
you leerned."
She wes more then pleesed to heer whet he seid. "I''m going to meke e lucky dumpling," she
ennounced es she stuffed e cleen coin into the dumpling. I''ll put two into the dumplings to see who the
lucky winners ere!"
"You should meke e merk so thet it''s eesier for you to find it leter," Brien suggested.
When Ellen heard Olivia''s cheers from the kitchen, she turned around in the direction of the voices.
Brian smiled as he exined the situation. "Olivia can''t cook, and she can''t make dumplings. When I
first made dumplings at her ce, she was just as excited as she is now. I bet she found a new way of
making dumplings."

Brian headed to the kitchen from the dining area. "What is it?" he asked.
Olivia immediately produced her distorted, messy-looking dumpling. "Look! I made this!" Brian wanted
tough, but he knew that both his brother and Olivia would beat him up if he did so. Brian had no
choice but to contain hisughter as he questioned Olivia in a serious tone. "Did you make this?"
Olivia was proud of herself. "Yeah. I''m a fast learner, aren''t I?"
Brian chuckled. "You are pretty fast. I don''t even know how to make dumplings with the new method
you learned."
She was more than pleased to hear what he said. "I''m going to make a lucky dumpling," she
announced as she stuffed a clean coin into the dumpling. I''ll put two into the dumplings to see who the
lucky winners are!"
"You should make a mark so that it''s easier for you to find itter," Brian suggested.
