    Chapter 54 The Ultimate Move


    "Please take a seat, guys. It''s time for breakfast."


    Jocelyn carefully ced each child''s te in front of them after they were seated at the table.


    Calvin had never tried anything Jocelyn had cooked before. He stared at his food with judgy eyes


    for a long time before beginning to eat it.


    Jocelyn, who was standing next to him, couldn''t take it anymore. She persuaded him, "Mr. Austin,


    please try it. Do you like the food I made? I know it looks like a disaster, but it might taste good!"


    "Can humans eat this?"


    Calvin was a picky eater who valued the appearance of his food. The sight of the shattered omelet


    on the te turned him off from eating it.


    He suspected she had no idea that the appearance of food directly impacted the appetite of the


    person eating it.


    Jocelyn found what he said strange.


    She had always been a good cook, but she identally poked the omelet by mistake. She felt it


    was unreasonable for him to be so picky, even though the omelet didn''t look appealing.


    Cooking meals for Calvin was a challenging task for her.


    Although Calvin was fussy, the children showed enthusiasm for the breakfast.


    "My mommy makes the best breakfast in the world!" Jeffrey eximed as he wolfed down his food.


    Jocelyn couldn''t stopughing as she appreciated her son standing up for her.


    Tammy was Jocelyn''s biggest fan, so she genuinely loved everything she cooked. As she dug into


    her meal, Tammy said, "All the things my mommy makes are delicious! I love it! It tastes so good!"


    Sean decided to join Tammy and Jeffrey after seeing how much they relished their food. His eyes


    widened when he tasted the omelet because he thought it tasted fantastic.


    Jocelyn winked at Calvin to show him that her cooking was a hit with the three kids. "Look at


    Tammy, Jeffrey, and Sean! They all like my omelet! That must mean that it''s not so bad, right? Why


    not give it a shot?"


    Calvin remained silent. But, after a brief pause, he picked up his knife and fork because he was


    curious how it tasted.


    He took a bite of the omelet. "It doesn''t look so good, but it tastes really well." He thought to himself.


    Jocelyn stared at him as he ate it and asked, "How''s that? Does it taste good?"


    "It''s just average!" He said.


    No matter how perfect it was, he wouldn''t tell the truth because he didn''t want her to know how


    much he enjoyed her cooking.


    "Why do you say it''s average when the kids say it''s delicious? You seem to have unrealistic


    expectations for your breakfast." Jocelyn thought to herself.


    "Let me try some," Beatrice said as she approached the table.


    After trying the omelet she made, Beatrice was impressed with Jocelyn''s cooking skills. "Wow, it


    tastes so great! It''s absolutely delicious!"


    "Really? That''s wonderful! You can eat as much as you want!" Jocelyn said as she served the


    children more omelets.


    Calvin was in a much better mood after having delicious omelets for breakfast. He casually wiped


    the corners of his mouth and got up from the table after he threw away his napkin.


    Jocelyn immediately caught up with him and asked with expectation, "Mr. Austin, can I go out


    today?"

    Calvin didn''t respond, instead simply looking at her. Jocelyn shook her arm to prove she was cured


    and said, "Look, I''m fine now! I''m feeling so great today! Believe me!"


    Calvin was in a good mood and was relieved that she hadn''t gotten him into any more trouble. As a


    result, he said, "Yes, but Marcus has to follow you."


    "Great! Thanks! Bye!"


    Jocelyn was overjoyed to have Calvin''s approval. She politely walked him out the door, then went


    upstairs to get dressed.


    Jocelyn soon came downstairs to say good-by to Beatrice and the children.


    "I have to go somewhere right now, Mom, and I won''t be back untilter." Wait for me, Jeffrey, and


    Tammy!"


    "All right, Mommy. I''ll be waiting for you." Tammy waved as she spoke.


    "Mommy, I''ll take care of my sister," said Jeffrey. He always wanted to help Jocelyn in any way he


    could.


    Beatrice was relieved to see that the children had behaved themselves. She asked Jocelyn with


    concern, "Where are you going, my dear? Have you really recovered? Do you need Calvin to give


    you a ride?"


    "That''s not necessary, Mom. I''m just going to have a spa day. I can go there by myself."


    In fact, it was just an excuse Jocelyn made to get out of the house. She reasoned that if Calvin


    came back home after Beatrice called him, he probably would refuse to let her out.


    Beatrice told Jocelyn to wait a minute when she heard her say she wanted a beauty treatment. She


    said as she took a card from the room and handed it to Jocelyn, "Here you go! You can get good


    beauty care services with this card."


    Beatrice gave her a membership card of Prisci SPA that was valid for the highest tier of services.


    The Prisci Spa was the most famous beauty salon in the city, frequented by wealthy women and


    celebrities. Jocelyn had no intention of going to such a posh spa for beauty treatments.


    "Is this a Diamond level VIP card for Prisci Spa? Thanks, Mom, but that''s just too fancy for me. I


    just ..."


    Jocelyn was embarrassed to admit that it was just an excuse.


    "It''s not that big of a deal. Remember, you''re Calvin''s wife now, and you certainly deserve the best.


    Women should treat themselves like princesses. If you value your appearance, you''re doing a favor


    for yourself and your loved ones. Just take it!"


    Jocelyn epted the card because she realized Beatrice was genuinely kind to her, which moved


    her.


    Jocelyn feltpelled to visit the Prisci Spa after receiving that thoughtful gift from Beatrice.


    Otherwise, she wouldn''t know what to say if Beatrice asked her that night if she had gone there.


    After Jocelyn left the house, Jeffrey and Sean began to fight over who Tammy should y with.


    Jeffrey couldn''t stand the thought of his sister spending so much time with Sean. He brought her to


    their side and said, "Tammy, I''m your brother. You can''t always hang out with Sean!"


    "Why? But Mommy told me I should spend more time with Sean!"


    Tammy did it not only because she liked to follow her mother''s instructions but also because she


    really liked Sean.


    "Mommy didn''t mean that. You need to remember that you are my sister, not his. Why don''t you


    come with me to the intable castle? Let''s have fun together!"


    Jeffrey cast a nce at Sean, who was standing nearby in silence.


    Sean did nothing but stand there looking enviously at them. He knew Jeffrey and Tammy were


    brothers and sisters born to the same mother. However, he could never be Tammy''s brother since


    his mother was not Jocelyn.


    "But Sean is so lonely on his own! He doesn''t have anyone to y with."


    Tammy turned back to look at Sean. She felt sorry for Sean whenever she saw him because he


    didn''t have a mother and had troublemunicating with others.


    "If you be with him all the time, I''ll have to be alone! I''ll be pathetic too!" Jeffrey began to act pitifully


    to win Tammy over.


    "The three of us can hang out together," Tammy said innocently, blinking her big eyes.


    Jeffrey scowled and folded his arms in annoyance. "Hmph, I''m not ying with him."


    "Well, I guess I''ll go painting with Sean."


    Tammy finally chose to be with Sean. When Jeffrey realized she was leaving, he pulled out his


    ultimate trick.
