"Everyone is here?"
Suddenly Lis's voice was heard in the middle of their meal and Hailee stood stunned in the middle of her argument with Lexus, with the spoon held high in her hand.
When Hailee's eyes caught Lis's figure, she gasped and immediately lowered her hand, focusing on the food on her plate. This actually made Lexus laugh.
"Hey, why are you being as quiet as a rabbit now?" Lexus teased as he took another piece of meat, while Ramon just stared at the girl in front of him who was now eating silently.
Lis then stepped closer and sat beside Hailee, opposite Ramon. "You are having dinner."
Lis came to this house because neither Ramon, Hailee or Lexus, whom she told to check on Ramon, picking up her phone calls. So, Lis decided to see what happened to these children.
"These are all made by Hailee," said Lexus proudly, as if he had cooked all of this, then he went back to eat voraciously.
"Is it true?" Lis raised her eyebrows in disbelief. She had never met a single girl, at Hailee's age, who could whip-up something edible in the kitchen. "Is it true that you cooked Hailee?"
"Yes, of course. Ramon and I saw her cooking with our own eyes," replied Lexus, who then took another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth shamelessly.
Lis looked at Ramon, but her eldest son didn't even look at her and only focused on the food on his plate. In fact, Ramon was very selective when it came to food, especially because he had allergies to certain types of food and not all foods match his overly sensitive tongue.
Because she didn't get a response from Ramon, so Liz had to turn her attention to Hailee.
"So, this is all cooked by you?" asked Lis. She still couldn't believe Lexus's words, but why would her son lie?
"Yes," Hailee replied shyly. Ramon then asked a waiter to place one more set of cutlery for his mother, while Hailee put a few pieces of shrimp and vegetables on her plate. "Give it a try," muttered Hailee.
Actually, Lis had eaten before coming here, but since this was the dish made by her prospective daughter-in-law, it wouldn't hurt if she tried.
And her eyes widened in disbelief as the tender and juicy flesh touched her taste buds. The texture of the meat was very fitting with the sauce that it was so tempting. Lis had eaten something like this before, but of course it was the work of a famous chef, while Hailee…
Lis turned to look at the girl next to her who was smiling waiting for her comment.
"How is it? Delicious, right?" asked Lexus knowingly upon seeing his mother's surprised expression. The man chuckled as Lis tried to clear her throat in an attempt to return to her calm demeanor.
"Delicious," Lis replied which made Hailee grin happily. "Where did you learn to cook?"
"Self-taught," said Hailee, she then poured a drink into Lis' glass and added other foods, so that this Mrs. Tordoff could taste. "I like to eat, so I got interested in trying too."
"I too like to eat, but I can't cook," said Lexus, who was now receiving a disapproving look from Hailee. If only Lis wasn't there, then the two of them would have argued again. "Supposedly, if you have came to this house from the start when you two decided to be together, I could have got the chance to enjoy your cooking earlier."
Hailee pursed her lips and it made Lexus tease her again.
