The corners of Old Madam Walton’s mouth twitched. She picked up another piece of black stuff and asked, “Then this is?”
Alex: “Eggplant.”
Old Madam Walton: “…” She didn’t understand how good food would become like this.
George picked up a piece of black eggplant and put it in his mouth. Against his will, he said, “It tastes good.”
Eric widened his eyes and muttered, “I have to leave more of such delicious eggplants for Dylan.”
Andrew smiled. “It’s a pity that the rest of the family aren’t at home and missed out on such delicious eggplants. I hope Mr. Burton can make it for them personally next time.”
Alex nodded. “Okay.”
Amelia finished the bowl of steamed egg, and there was still a little bit of egg on the corner of her mouth. She smiled at Alex and gave him a thumbs up.
“Delicious!”
Alex’s lips curled up. It was said that daughters were considerate little darlings. These words did not seem to be lying. The next second, he saw Amelia pick up another piece of eggplant and put it in her mouth. Amelia thought that since even Eldest Uncle and Youngest Uncle said that eggplant was delicious, it must be super delicious.
The Walton family was shocked. “Miao, don’t eat…” Before they could finish speaking, Amelia spat out the eggplant. It tasted terrible!
Amelia looked at the eggplant on the plate. Why was the eggplant so unpalatable? Why were Eldest Uncle, Grandpa, and Grandma eating so happily and praising it? She looked up at Alex pitifully. “Daddy, I’m sorry. This eggplant is too disgusting. I really can’t eat it.”
Alex was speechless. It seemed like his little darling was not a little darling after all. Besides, was this eggplant that bad? Didn’t George and the rest eat it?
Alex picked up the eggplant and took a bite. Then, he suddenly coughed. He tilted his head and spat out the eggplant. He grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down. He was silent for a moment before shaking his head at Amelia.
“It’s okay. I can’t eat this eggplant either.”
Everyone had smiles in their eyes, and Harper laughed out loud. The old master of the Walton family’s stern face gradually softened. He didn’t care how many points he gave Alex. As long as Mia liked him and acknowledged Alex, they would acknowledge him and his identity.
Kate had gone downstairs after arranging the flowers. She secretly peeped at the cafeteria. The entire Walton family was resplendent. They sat in the dining room, laughing and chatting happily. Kate’s eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of resentment. Why could they live so well? Why could they live happier than her?
Kate held the flower basket in her hand and clenched the scissors in her other hand. At this moment, Alex suddenly turned around, scaring Kate so much that her hand trembled and the scissors fell to the ground.
Hearing the commotion, the Walton family turned around.
Kate quickly picked up the scissors and apologized. “I’m sorry. I accidentally dropped the scissors.” With that, she ran away in a panic.
Alex stared at Kate and frowned. “There’s something wrong with this landscaper.”
Old Madam Walton frowned. She also felt that Kate’s behavior today was very strange. However, she had personally gone for an interview with this landscaper because her position was special. She had to take care of the entire garden of the manor and be in charge of changing the flowers in everyone’s room in the Walton family. This was just like how you had to find someone you trusted to clean your room.
Old Madam Walton said, “Maybe Kate isn’t feeling well today, or something happened. I’ll talk to her later.”
Alex didn’t say anything else.
In the blink of an eye, it was night time. Alex stayed in the guest room. He looked around the room. The interior design of the room was mature. There was only a bed, a gray bedside table, and a closet. There was also an armchair and a small coffee table. There were no unnecessary decorations, which suited his personality. It could be seen that this room had been specially decorated by the Walton family.
Alex casually sat down on the sofa and turned on his cell phone. He clicked on Helena’s photo and looked at it silently. After a long time, he said in a low voice, “I’m sorry that I didn’t have the chance to get to know you.” He heard that before she died, the person she was most worried about was Mia. No matter what, he would take good care of Mia.
At night, Emma, who had finally finished her homework and was released by Dylan to eat, ate heartily. She no longer had the bad habit of being picky.
After Emma finished eating, she threw the bowl into the dishwasher and ran upstairs while shouting, “Mia, Mia, come out and play!’
