Chapter 259


    “Can a chef’s food everpare to a mom’s homemade meal? I just want the kids to feel the warmth


    of home! They’ve been unfortunate enough to grow up without a mother. Now that they finally have


    one, can’t you, as their mom, cook them a meal?”


    “I remember growing up eating chef-cooked meals all the time, and I turned out fine! I don’t have any


    psychological issues.”


    “You…”


    Seeing their argument was about to explode, ra quickly intervened. “I think cooking could be fun;


    she just wants me to practice! Emmett, stop getting Mom upset; I’m okay.”


    “I see; now that you have ra as a wife, you don’t care about your mother anymore!”


    Just as Sophia finished speaking, Patrick Melendez came downstairs. He sensed the tense


    atmosphere in the dining room.


    “What’s going on here?”


    Sophia nced at her husband but said nothing.


    ra smiled and said, “Good morning, Dad.”


    “Mhmm.” Patrick nodded, sitting next to his wife. “Why can’t you guys talk things out? Why does it


    always have to be so tense?”


    Emmett spoke up. “Well, ask Mom why she won’t leave my wife alone.”


    “What’s going on?” Patrick looked at her.


    Sophia turned away. “I just thought ra should learn to cook and make breakfast for the kids. What’s


    wrong with that? Isn’t cooking a skill a woman should have? You know our family situation. Aiden grew


    up without a mom and never tasted her cooking. I just hope she can give the kids more motherly love.


    Is that wrong?”.


    “Didn’t I tell you not to meddle in the younger generation’s affairs?”


    “…” Sophia frowned but remained silent.


    Patrick turned to ra. “You too. You shouldn’t bother him with small things like this. Do you want to


    see them arguing?”


    “No!” ra immediately denied it. “I didn’t tell Emmett anything!”

    “Dad, I know some things without ra telling me. Mom always picks on ra when she sees her; I’m


    not blind or deaf.”


    Hearing this, Patrick looked at Sophia again.


    Sophia put down her cup of milk, clearly displeased.


    “So if she does something that I’m not satisfied with, can’t I voice my opinion? You’re my son; she’s my


    daughter-inw; I’m the elder here with more experience and insight. I just gave a reminder, is that


    considered malicious?”


    “I’ve told you not to meddle in the younger generation’s affairs.” Patrick despised family disputes and


    said sternly, “From now on, no one in this house is allowed to trouble others! If I find out, I’ll have to


    take action! Everyone should mind their own business!”


    ra immediately nodded. “I understand. Mom and Dad, don’t be angry! It’s all my fault, not Mom’s.


    Emmett misunderstood that I don’t like cooking, but I actually love it! I’ll start cooking from tomorrow!”
