Chapter 83 Never Stepping a Foot in the Kitchen


    Although J hadn''t spoken out his name, Samuel and his wife somehow knew who she was talking


    about.


    "Jane, if you love him so much then just go and get him. But don''t be as stupid as I was when I was


    young, I loved your dad a lot, and grabbing the opportunity when he was drunk, I entered his room and


    made him furious!" E recalled their story and gazed at the man with angry eyes.


    Samuel coughed, and said, "Sweetheart, don''t mention what we did all those years ago." He always


    felt he was lucky because E was dedicated. He had a happy family now.


    E smiled and kept instructing her daughter. "What I mean is that you can try your best to grasp


    Daniel. But don''t be stupid and do wrong things which aren''t in ord with your personality and status,


    because then he mightter look down on you."


    Wasn''t this stupid? Did her mother refer to what they had already done?


    J was shy and Daniel was proactive! But she didn''t dare tell this to her parents.


    She nodded tactfully, and said, "OK, dad and mom. I know what you mean now."


    OK. The first step she needed to do was to say sorry to Daniel. Afterwards, she would make him her

    boyfriend.


    But meanwhile she had to deal with Kate. And how could she?


    While J was getting more and more worried, Samuel asked again "Sally said that Daniel had made


    a proposal, but you rejected it. Is that true?"


    "Yes, it was because... I was sad. So I rejected him." J didn''t dare to tell her parents the true


    reasons behind her rejection.


    E looked at her daughter quietly, and then said, "You liked him before but rejected his proposal. I


    think that''s why Daniel is so angry and is still with Kate!"


    ''But if Daniel already proposed to her that means that he could still be interested in her.''


    "No, mom; he became Kate''s boyfriend first, and then proposed. He wanted to have two girlfriends at


    the same time. That''s why he proposed!" What kind of person was Daniel, having two girlfriends at the


    same time?


    The three of them talked about this but could reach no concluding answer.


    It was almost December and it was cold outside. J put a jacket on her when she got out of the car.


    ''It''s cold outside! Should I cook a soup for Daniel to warm him up?'' thought J.


    ''They say that the way to win a man''s heart is to first win his stomach.''


    Her parents were very good at cooking, and so was her brother. But she... knew little about cooking.


    ''Is it toote to learn how to cook?'' she pondered.


    "Mom!" J stopped E on the staircase just before reaching the second floor.


    E turned around.


    "Teach me how to make soup!" J was so serious that E seemed to be doubtful of her. She


    looked at Samuel and immediately knew what she wanted to do.


    Samuel said "No! How could my daughter ever cook for a man!"


    Jane hadn''t even cooked for him!


    Looking at her husband, E smiled, and said, "Do you really want to learn?"


    "Yes, dad! I''ll cook for you when I learn!" She was already good at making all sorts desserts and


    cookies, and so she would also acquire cooking skills soon.


    Samuel gazed at his daughter, and said, "My daughter, you won''t ever need to enter the kitchen


    because I''ll cook for you instead!"


    Jane had been carefully raised by him. She would forever be his sweet little daughter who wasn''t


    allowed to make any sort ofpromise for any other man, ever.


    E looked at her husband, and said, "Samuel, shouldn''t I cook? Am I not your sweetheart?"


    Oops! Samuel hastily held his wife in arms, and then said, "Of course, of course you are. You''re good


    at cooking. I once asked you not to enter the kitchen, but you insist!"


    After acquiring the cooking skills, especially after his retirement, Samuel had asked his wife never to


    enter the kitchen again.


    But E had always told herself that "Happiness means to cook for her beloved man."


    ''Is Jane thinking the same as me now? Well, that''s good!'' E got rid of Samuel and then took Jane


    into the kitchen. "OK. Let me teach you how to cook now."


    J was happy, and she took off her jacket and instead put on an apron...


    There were several screaming soundsing from the kitchen then. Finally, Samuel couldn''t stand it


    anymore and opened the door.


    E stood by Samuel''s side and took many deep breaths.


    "What''s happened?"


    E shook her hand "Nevermind. I can''t understand why you daughter hasn''t inherited our cooking


    genes. J was about to blow out our kitchen!"


    In that moment, they heard a loud sound. Boom!


    "Oh! Something sounded like it exploded!"


    They two parents rushed to the kitchen to see it had turned into aplete mess!


    E''s porcin soup pot had exploded. But luckily for J she was safe, because she was looking for


    other ingredients in the refrigerator.


    Samuel went to put out the fire while E looked at her daughter up and down. "Jane, are you OK?"


    she asked.


    "Yes, mom. I was at the refrigerator."


    ...


    J was then cast out of the kitchen by E. From that day on she, the girl who could make a soup


    pot explode, was forbidden from ever entering the kitchen again.


    J sat miserably on the sofa while her parents cleared up the mess in the kitchen.


    From time to time, she could hear something like "What''s this? Why can''t it be cleaned up?"


    "Why are so many eggs cracked open?"


    "J, you''re never stepping a foot in the kitchen from now on!"


    "Next step is to find you an excellent cook boyfriend."


    "J, don''t be silly and be Daniel''s girlfriend. Your sworn mother told me he can''t cook a thing. If you


    ever start a family, you''re doomed to starve to death because of your poor cooking skills!"


    J replied "Dad, don''t worry. Even if it were so, we could hire numerous cooks."


    "That''s right, but that''s only because Daniel is rich enough to hire numerous cooks! Nomon man


    would hire cooks for you!" Samuel was mumbling while he was mopping the floor.


    "Dad, you said that you''ll take care of me all of your life! And now you want to leave me hanging just


    because I almost blew the kitchen up?"


    ''Father is so realistic; I''m really helpless.''


    "OK, OK. I''ll take care of you! I''ve taken care of you all these years. If you ever marry a poor man, I will


    hire you a cook!"


    ...


    "Dad, could you wish for me something a little bit nicer?" J mumbled.


    ''s! How stupid I am! J, J... how can you save your love?'' she pondered.


    J then ran to the kitchen, like she was suddenly inspired. "Mother, could you teach how to cook a


    fried dish? It''s OK and you don''t need to worry about any pot bombings!"


    E stopped sweeping the kitchen floor for a few moments, and said, "J, I strongly suggest to cook


    some cookies instead. Because you know how to make cookies and desserts. If Daniel really loves


    you, he''ll be happy to enjoy the cookies you know how to make, not the dishes or soups that you


    don''t!"
