Chapter 706


    Emmanuel got into his Maserati and headed toward the Gomez Residence.


    Along the way, he noticed that he was being followed by another vehicle.


    This time, Emmanuel deliberately drove slowly, allowing the other vehicle to


    catch up. However, the pursuer maintained a certain distance, appearing


    very professional.


    Since the follower wasn’t willing to get closer, Emmanuel had to show off his


    driving skills, quickly shaking off the pursuer.


    After confirming that he had lost the tail, Emmanuel continued on his way to


    the Gomez Residence, which made him arrive muchter than the nned


    time.


    Inside the Gomez Residence, Rhea had already returned from her shopping

    with the ingredients.


    Seeing the abundant ingredients she had purchased, Juan felt relieved.


    Looks like Rhea’s going all out this time!


    He had been worried about boasting to Emmanuel repeatedly that his


    daughter was a great cook. He feared that if Rhea performed poorly, it would


    be a blow to his bragging rights.


    Moreover, after practicing medicine for decades, there were only a few


    medical practitioners who could earn his admiration. A renowned physician


    who could truly make him respect and admire them was a rare find.


    Yet Emmanuel, despite his young age, hadpletely won him over with his


    medical skills. He was eager to treat this young prodigious doctor well and


    establish a deep rtionship with him.


    “Dad, I’m going to start cooking now!”


    Rhea’s enthusiasm was evident as she headed into the kitchen to get busy.


    Juan was quite pleased and smiled approvingly, saying, “My Rhea can not


    only cook for the family but also dress ssy! Wonderful!”


    Rhea’s anger only grew stronger in response. Dad’s not selling me off to some


    stranger just like that, is he?! Well, Dad, sell me off all you want. I’ll admit


    With that thought in mind, she put even more effort into preparing each dish.


    Not salting the vegetables was nothing.


    Adding “half a gallon” of vinegar to the soup was her way of waiting for that


    man to be overwhelmed by the sourness!


    The ultimate bomb, of course, was her signature dish, shrimp and meat rolls!


    She added a crazy amount of insanely spicy chili sauce into it. But then she


    thought it wasn’t enough, so why not add a ton of spicy mustard as well?


    It would be concealed inside the dish, after all. When that man took a bite,


    he’d be in for a surprise.


    Hehe, just thinking about that scene is exhrating!


    The mischievous devil inside Rhea was fully awakened, continuously


    murmuring, I’ll make you suffer from the spiciness! I’ll make you suffer!


    “Rhea, do you need any help? Can you handle it all by yourself?”


    Rhea’s mother, Edith, worried that her daughter might be overwhelmed by


    the tasks and came in to offer assistance.


    “Ah! No need, it’s fine!”


    However, Rhea blocked the doorway, triggered by the traditional virtue of


    feeling guilty when doing something mischievous. She couldn’t let her mother


    in when she was up to no good!


    Edith thought her daughter was behaving a little strangely. But fortunately for


    Rhea, Juan approached them just in time. He whispered in Edith’s ear, “Rhed


    wants to impress her crush with her cooking skills. If you help her, and he


    finds out that she didn’t cook the meal by herself, wouldn’t he think her


    cooking skills are not genuine?”


    “Oh, I see!” Edith understood instantly and quickly left with a smile.


    Rhea finally breathed a sigh of relief. She closed the kitchen door and leaned


    against it to calm herself down.


    Hmph, Dad is too confident, isn’t he? The man I have a crush on is Emmanuel.


    Does Dad really think the man visiting today can measure up to Emmanuel?!


    She simply didn’t believe it!


    Just then, the doorbell rang.


    Juan hurriedly answered the door. Seeing Emmanuel, heughed heartily,


    “Ah, just when I thought you’d never visit, you’ve finally graced us with your


    presence!”


    “You’re too kind, Dr. Gomez. I hope I’m not intruding.” Emmanuel smiled and


    handed over some gifts he had bought on the way.


    “Oh dear, you didn’t have to bring so many gifts. If people didn’t know better,


    they might think you’re my future son-inw, haha…” Juan continued to


    Rhea, hiding in the kitchen, heard her father’s words and muttered to herself,


    You might want him to be your son-inw, Dad, but I don’t want him to be


    my husband. Humph, bringing gifts on the first visit; he must be up to no


    good! Just wait and see how I deal with you!
