Chapter 104: SEESAW BATTLE HAD JUST BEGUN


    Sarah tried to calm herself down and smiled, “Emma, you are back. I’m surprised and happy to see you


    here. I don’t expect you to cook for me. It looks like I’ll eat a lot tonight. Wait for me, I’ll go upstairs to


    change my clothes, and then I’ll cook for you too!”


    Sarah went upstairs with a smile on her face. Charles was surprised, wondering why Sarah’s


    expressions changed so fast.


    But Emma looked after Sarah as she left and suddenly bowed her head. She seemed to be a bit


    frustrated at Sarah’s response, it was beyond her expectations. Sarah wasn’t angry and didn’t even try


    to argue with Charles. Was she not angry seeing her intimately interacting with Charles?


    Once upstairs, Sarah reflected on her actions just now. She felt that she had done well, better than


    Emma, and Charles would not think of her as stingy and jealous. Emma, our seesaw battle has just


    begun. Do you want to fight against me and break up my marriage? I will never let that happen! Sarah


    thought to herself.


    After changing her clothes, Sarah came down to help right away. Emma wanted to show off her


    excellent cooking skills, but Sarah was determined to outshine her. After all, Emma was not the only


    person who knows how to cook in the world. Sarah thought she could do much better, given that she


    had lived alone for a long time. Plus, Emma was raised in a rich environment where she never had to


    help in the kitchen.


    All three were in the kitchen, Sarah was cutting some of the ingredients on her own, watching Emma


    and Charles busy with their food. Sarah wanted to test Emma if she really knew what she was doing,


    but as expected, it looked like it was the first time she was frying a fish and doing a terrible job.


    Charles was standing beside her and asked, “Are you okay? Maybe I can help you. It seems to be hard


    work.”


    Emmaughed, “I can do it. See! I learned it a while ago in Australia. We invented our own recipe by


    adding some curry, you’ll like it. It’s delicious!”


    “Yes?” Charles asked curiously.


    “Yes, it’s tasty. All my friends like it. We did it every day!” Sheughed out happily.


    Sarah smiled and said in azy tone, “Curry is hot. Charles must avoid certain foods since he had a car


    ident. He can’t eat spicy food. And we are all about a light diet. The fish is too fresh, and perhaps


    curry will destroy its vor. What’s more, students like any kind of food, they mostly don’t have the


    luxury to be picky, unlike us, Emma!” Sarah smiled innocently at Emma, who seemed to feel as if


    someone just poured a bucket of cold water over her head.


    Charles was listening to them and tried to intervene. “It doesn’t matter. I can eat it!”


    Sarah red at him deliberately and said, “That’s why you haven’t recovered yet. You must avoid it!”


    Charles shrugged his shoulders and dared not to respond. Emma was silent for a little while, then


    asked, “So, how about the fish now?”


    Sarah was cutting garlic. “Go on. Don’t worry about what I said. You do your recipe, and I will do mine.


    If the curry is too strongter, you can have some of my steamed fish.”

    “You’re cooking separately?” Emma was a little surprised.


    Sarah turned around and smiled, “No, but since you cooked specially for me, I can’t disturb you, right?


    So after we both finish, we can eat together!”


    Charles pped his hands in agreement, “That is a great idea. I can have two different meals. Let me


    see how much you have learned these days.” Then he said to Emma, “I heard that you’re a good cook.


    Come on, I think highly of you!”


    Emma smiled briefly. Her hands clenched tightly to her apron, giving away her nervousness. Emma felt


    really awkward. If she were the only one cooking, Charles would be obligated to praise her as a caring


    andpetent girl. But if Sarah also cooked, maybe she would lose to her. Could she reallypare it


    to Sarah?


    She had wanted to show off, but things were going wrong. Since she couldn’t give up now, she just


    smiled and said, “I will try my best!” Then she turned around and continued working.


    Sarah had finished preparing her ingredients and just stood there watching them, watching Emma


    struggling to do her best. Although they had been working there for a while now, nothing had been


    done yet. Sarah didn’t help, she just watched Emma struggle trying toplete her work.


    After a long time, Emma was finally done, and Sarah started to make her dish. She was a seasoned,


    skilled cook, and Charles was watching her with admiration. Emma lowered her head and finally


    walked out of the kitchen.


    Half an hourter, the food was all done. Sarah’s dish looked more appetizing than Emma’s, and as


    expected, Charles praised Sarah’s dish while eating. “Wow, darling, I didn’t know you cook so well. It


    tastes great!”


    Sarah pretended to be angry, but soon they smiled at each other. Emma was hurt by him praising


    Sarah’s food over hers, so he turned around to look at her and quickly added, “Emma, yours is also


    delicious. The taste of curry on fish was special. It makes me recall my life as a student. Without You, I


    would have forgotten about my student experience.”


    That was not the reason why she had gone through all this trouble, Emma thought to herself. She then


    smiled and epted hispliment. Sarah wanted tough, she had finally won her for the first time.


    She remembered how Emma had plotted against her at the beginning, but this time her revenge was a


    sess thanks to Carrie’s advice.


    She used to be busy working and had never learned how to keep a man happy and how to continually


    be alert to other women, which was why she had experienced two failed rtionships before.
