Aunt Evans announced it was lunchtime.
Everyone sat around the table, and as Cindy Clarke looked at all the dishes, she remembered her promise to Peggy Lewis.
So she brought it up, “You didn't forget that we're having a home-cooked meal at your house tomorrow, right?
I'll be bringing along Morgan.”
“What?
What's going on?” The little guy was unaware of this plan and curiously asked Cindy Clarke.
Seeing the Old Madam and others also clueless, Cindy Clarke explained, “Peggy doesn't know how to cook.
When she planned to prepare dinner for Fourth Uncle, she specifically asked me for easy, foolproof recipes.
But her parents haven't tasted her cooking yet, so she wants to cook for them when she goes home tomorrow.”
“Not only have her parents never tasted it, but I, as her best friend, haven't tasted it either.
When I heard she'll be cooking, I wanted to go and try it,” explained Cindy.
“I want to go too!
I want to go too!” The little guy was immediately excited.

“I haven't tasted the food Godmother cooked either.”
The Old Madam exclaimed, “I didn't expect that Lyke Zhekova would be the first to taste Peggy's cooking.
He's a lucky lad.”
Peggy Lewis was feeling embarrassed by the Old Madam's words.
She was getting so much praise despite not being able to cook.
“I didn't forget,” said Peggy Lewis to Cindy Clarke.
“I've already told my parents that I'm coming home tomorrow.”
Peggy thought for a moment and then suggested, “How about I prepare dinner instead?”
Lunch would be too rushed.
If it's for dinner, at least she'd have the entire afternoon to prepare.
“Sure,” Cindy agreed.
Adrian Zhekova wasn't interested in Peggy's cooking.
After all, nothing could beat Cindy's cooking.
So he didn't propose to go along.
Plus he didn't know Peggy's parents as well as Cindy did.
If he were to go, Peggy's parents might not be able to relax.
That means he would be alone for tomorrow's dinner.
Adrian looked at Cindy Clarke with a slight grievance.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Looking at Adrian's possessiveness, what was the big deal about Cindy going over to Peggy's parents for dinner?
He was so pitiful.
It wasn't like Cindy cooked at home every day.
As Third Old Master Zhekova put it, Adrian didn't marry Cindy Clarke to be a housekeeper.
Even though Cindy's dishes were delicious, and she enjoyed being in the kitchen, it didn't mean she should be immersed in kitchen smoke all day.
Normally, the housekeeper does the cooking, and sometimes they'd order meals from their restaurant.
Cindy primarily focused on mastering different cuisines.
The dishes she prepared for video shooting doubled as a meal.
Sometimes, Cindy would experiment with new recipes just for the sake of improving her cooking skills.
Researching a new cuisine always necessitated several trials.
Thus, Adrian and the little one became her guinea pigs.
But even her experimental dishes tasted good.
It was like Cindy was working, and the fruits of her labor were savored by Adrian and Morgan.
Usually, she wouldn't cook all three meals of the day.
However, she always made snacks for the two of them without fail.
At this moment, Lyke suddenly asked, “Is it…
alright for me to go?”
“Of course not,” both Cindy and Peggy thought in unison.
However, neither had the nerve to say it out loud.
Cindy suspected that Lyke was really smitten with Peggy.
Otherwise, wouldn't Lyke, with his emotional intelligence, have known whether it'd be appropriate to visit the Lewis family?
What grounds would he have to visit?
He wasn't anyone special to Peggy at the moment.
Wouldn't it be awkward to drop by?
Surely Lyke would have considered all these, right?
But he still wanted to go.
Cindy figured that Lyke was probably hoping to introduce himself to Peggy's parents.
That way, they wouldn't think of introducing a boyfriend to Peggy.
They would know that there's already a great guy like Lyke around Peggy, so they wouldn't have to rush.
Moreover, there'd be a comparison.
A comparison that could hurt others.
Once Lyke was in the picture, it wouldn't matter who else they introduced to Peggy, the gap would be significant, right?
Lyke was quite scheming.
The Old Madam seized the opportunity and said, “That's true.
Anyway, Lyke also needs to drop Peggy home.
Since he'll be right there, it would only be appropriate to go up and visit.”
Peggy sought help from Cindy.
To her surprise, Cindy said, “Since Peggy has already met our elders, it's only fair that Fourth Uncle goes to meet Peggy's parents.”
“There's some truth in that,” the Third Old Master Zhekova approved.
“So, it's settled,” Lyke quickly determined, not giving Peggy a chance to refuse.
“So when you go, you should bring something along.
Lyke can take it when he goes to meet your parents tomorrow,” the Old Madam was suggesting.
They had lots of health supplements at home.
Bird's Nest, Fish Maw, Propolis, and plenty of Royal Jelly.
The Old Madam was considering them while eating.
She would pack some of these for Lyke to take away.
Visiting elders usually entails bringing some supplements.
Ordinary families bring fruits, milk, or grains.
But since they were well-off, they'd naturally bring some superior supplements.
Lyke could have bought these himself, but there wouldn't be time to get appropriate ones for such an impromptu decision.
Those sold in the market, frankly, were not of the quality they have at home.
Peggy hadn't expected they would decide today over lunch that Lyke Zhekova will be going to her house tomorrow.
Cindy's argument seemed reasonable.
Since Peggy had already met Adrian's family, it wouldn't seem right to not let Lyke meet her parents.
But it felt a lot like both parties were meeting their in-laws.
Instead of helping her escape, why was Cindy fueling the fire?
Peggy felt a headache coming on just thinking about having to bring Lyke home tomorrow.
How was she supposed to explain this to her parents?
She definitely couldn't mention she was living at Lyke's place.
Her parents definitely wouldn't accept her living at a man's house.
And if she were to mention that she lives with Lyke, she'd have to give the reason.
Wouldn't that cause her parents to worry?
That would render her initial concealment meaningless.
Who knew Adrian would add to the confusion at this moment, “I'll go too.”
If Lyke was going, regardless of whether Peggy's parents felt uncomfortable or not, he would go too.
At least he wouldn't have to be apart from Cindy.
Plus, he wanted to witness the gossip.
He wanted to see how Lyke and his future in-laws got along.
Old Madam nodded, “You can go with them.
That's great, it's about time that Peggy's parents meet you.”
Cindy wasn't close to her family, so Peggy's parents were like her own parents-in-law.
They should see who their daughter Cindy was married to.
“And give some pointers to your Fourth Uncle while you're at it.
He doesn't have much experience,” the Old Madam suggested.
Peggy: “…”
No experience?
What experience is needed to be a guest?
Lyke: “…”
