Chapter 107 – Mouthful of Words
In the car Jeffrey asked Sansa Ran with curiosity, “Mom, have you ever eaten Dad’s cooking? Is Daddy’s cooking good?”
Sansa Ran frowned at Jeffrey’s words and said, “This mommy doesn’t know, mommy hasn’t eaten either, today you and mommy will try your daddy’s handiwork together.”
Jeffrey nodded happily in response to Sansa Ran as the car drove slowly to the entrance of the villa.
Jeffrey opened the car door regardless and ran towards the villa door, Sansa Ran followed behind, worried, “Jeffrey you run slowly, later run and fall.”
Jeffrey ran up the steps and rapped on the cottage door, shouting with delight, “Daddy, Daddy, Jeffrey’s here.”
Dean Lan smiled indelicately from the kitchen at the sound of the voice and trotted in the direction of the door, replying under his breath, “Coming!”
Just as the door opened Jeffrey opened his arms for a hug from Dean Lan and pouted, “Daddy, I missed you so much when I didn’t see you for a few days, I wish I could see you every day when I wake up.”
Jeffrey just said the two fathers and sons looked at Sansa Ran to get her answer, but Sansa Ran’s answer did not go as the two fathers wanted.
Sansa Ran was a little embarrassed to be seen by both of them and replied as if nothing had happened, “I can’t believe Jeffrey misses Daddy so much, so stay for a few days! Mom will come to pick you up then.”
Jeffrey was dissatisfied with Sansa Ran’s answer, and he struggled to get out of Dean Lan’s arms, and went over to Sansa Ran and tugged on his coat, saying, “But I can’t sleep without my mom. Can you come with me?”
Sansa Ran was speechless at Jeffrey’s lies that had been repeatedly broken, so she knelt down and took Jeffrey’s hand, and unceremoniously demolished them: “Then why weren’t you scared when you slept with Daddy before? If you lie, you will be eaten by the big bad wolf.”
Jeffrey beamed and his eyes skimmed to Dean Lan to ask her to help him.
Dean Lan walked over and pinched Jeffrey’s cheeks and said, “You’re just a little naughty, come on, let’s go try some of Daddy’s best cooking.”
Sansa Ran looked at the little tricks between father and son and felt helpless. She got up and looked at Uncle Zhang who was about to drive away and shouted, “Uncle Zhang it’s meal time now, you stay and eat with us before you go!”
Dean Lan heard Sansa Ran’s words a little displeased, after all, he did not want anyone to interrupt his family’s meal, turned his head eyes gesture to look at Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang saw his boss’s eyes, understood and said, “No Ms. Ran, Mr. Lan also arranged my other things, I will not disturb your meal, Ms. Ran.”
Sansa Ran looked at Dean Lan standing aside in confusion. Dean Lan received Sansa Ran’s look and looked at Uncle Zhang and said, “Uncle Zhang, you help me finish the job and take the rest of the afternoon off.”
Uncle Zhang knew that his boss was telling himself in disguise that he had the day off. Hastily said happily: “Yes, then boss I’ll leave first.”
Sansa Ran could not stay and followed Dean Lan, holding Jeffrey, into the villa.
Jeffrey smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen and praised it loudly, “Dad, your cooking just smells good.”
After saying that, he ran ahead to the kitchen and propped himself up to see what else was inside the pot.
Dean Lan and Sansa Ran followed Jeffrey to the kitchen for fear that he would get burned, and Sansa Ran carried Jeffrey away from the pot.
Jeffrey struggled to get down and said, “Daddy, it smells so good! When can I eat it?”
Dean Lan gently pinched Jeffrey’s nose and joked, “You’re a glutton. Just a little glutton, you can eat in a little while, you go eat the rest at the table with mommy first! I’ll be over in a minute.”
Jeffrey struggled to get out of Sansa Ran’s arms and ran outside to the table to uncover the lid. Jeffrey grabbed a piece of the delicious food in front of Jeffrey’s eyes and was ready to feed it to his mouth, but it fell on the table because it was too hot and he couldn’t help but say, “That hurts!”
Sansa Ran heard the sound in the kitchen and rushed out. She saw Jeffrey blowing on his hands, holding a wet wipe to wipe Jeffrey’s hands, and scolding him, “I told you to be greedy, now it’s done! How’s that? Does it hurt?”
Jeffrey felt aggrieved inside, “I didn’t eat breakfast this morning and I’m really hungry.”
Sansa Ran felt heartbroken at Jeffrey’s words and took his hand and blew on it gently. “It’s mommy’s fault, you said mommy would never let you do that again. Come mommy will give you a huff and a puff and it won’t hurt anymore.”
Dean Lan finished that last dish and brought it out, looking at the interaction between the two mothers and children and said with a smile, “Little greedy cat, see if you are still greedy for food? Go, follow Daddy to wash your hands first.”
Jeffrey beamed and got out of his chair to follow Dean Lan to wash his hands.
Sansa Ran looked at the two and felt helpless and went to the kitchen first to bring out the dishes and chopsticks.
Jeffrey washed his hands and ran to the table first, grabbing chopsticks and tasting the dishes on the table, saying out of turn, “Daddy’s cooking is so good, just as good as Mr. Dan’s.”
And this was overheard by Dean Lan, who then came and asked, with a dark face, “You’ve seen him?”
Jeffrey nodded and said, “Mr. Dan is very nice, and his cooking is especially good.”
Dean Lan looked at Jeffrey thoughtfully and said, “When did you meet with him?”
Jeffrey, with the mentality of a child did not realize what was wrong and said while eating his food next to him, “Last time mom invited Mr. Dan to our house, he made especially good Japanese food.”
Dean Lan came over and sat next to Jeffrey and said, “So tell Daddy how good it is!”
Jeffrey opened his hands exaggeratedly and said, “It’s very, very good, I’ve never had such good Japanese food.”
Sansa Ran watched all this with trepidation, afraid that Dean Lan would be displeased, and could not help but remind, “Jeffrey, hurry up and eat! Didn’t you say you were hungry?”
Jeffrey didn’t realize he had said the wrong thing and continued, “Mom, I’m eating! Mom, you try it too, Dad made it very good.”
Sansa Ran did not expect her son, who is usually so smart, to be confused at this time, and her eyes could not help but gesture to Jeffrey.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Jeffrey then realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said, “But it’s still Daddy’s cooking, Daddy’s cooking is the best I’ve ever cooked and eaten.”
Dean Lan walked over and pinched Jeffrey’s little cheeks with his usual face and said, “Eat up, you ass-kisser! Eat a little more to help Daddy evaluate.”
