Chapter 123 You are such a good eater
After eating for a while, someone couldn’t sit still and started to flatter him, “Uncle, this is fried chicken nuggets. I also participated in the preparation of this dish! Come and try it and see if it’s delicious?”
“Yeah.” Callum didn’t refuse.
“Uncle, try this soup. I also participated in it. Does it taste good?” Laura said, and a soup bowl was placed in front of Callum.
With that flattering look, people who don’t know her would definitely think that Laura is Callum’s wife .
The man still responded indifferently with one word, “Yeah.”
…
Aurelia was of course not happy when a woman kept flattering her husband. But the mother-in-law across the street hadn’t said anything yet, and even picked up food for Aurelia from time to time, so she couldn’t react too much to this scene.
She just lowered her head and ate her dinner in silence until a piece of fish was placed in her bowl. “It has been deboned.”
Aurelia paused. If her mother-in-law wasn’t there, she would definitely be jealous of Callum. “Finally you remembered that your wife is sitting next to you?”
I swallowed all the words and turned them into two words, “Thank you.”
Two minutes later, a piece of shelled shrimp was placed in her bowl. “Don’t you like seafood? Mom specially made two or three seafood dishes. You can eat more.”
Rachel smiled slightly, “Yes, Aurelia, this Australian lobster was just flown in from abroad today. It’s very fresh. I made it into sashimi. Come and eat it!”
“Well, thanks, Mom!” Aurelia thanked Rachel gratefully.
She didn’t act pretentiously and quickly ate the shrimp. Callum watched carefully, and when he saw Aurelia trying to pick up the Australian lobster again, he was one step faster than her and blocked her hand holding the chopsticks.
As Aurelia looked at him in bewilderment, Callum dipped the lobster meat that Rachel had sliced into the sauce and passed it all to Aurelia. He finally took the ones with shells on and put them on the plate in front of him and started to peel the shells.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Aurelia, “…”, opened her mouth, leaned close to his ear, and whispered to him, “Mom and Laura haven’t eaten yet!”
The man was unmoved, “They don’t eat lobster.”
“Yes, Aurelia, Mom is allergic to lobsters and Laura doesn’t like seafood.” In fact, Rachel really wanted to sigh that her son had forgotten his mother after he got a wife.
Look how he fawns on his wife, but doesn’t do anything for his mother! Although she thought so, Rachel was still very happy to see that they were so loving.
“Allergic? Then is it okay for you to slice the shrimp?” Aurelia looked at her worriedly.
Rachel shook her head, “It’s okay, just don’t eat it!”
“Then… Mom, you eat this.” She pushed a plate of beautifully presented dessert in front of Rachel.
“Okay, thank you Aurelia.” Rachel cooperated and ate the dessert she handed over.
“What about you? Are you allergic to seafood, or do you just not like eating seafood?” she asked the busy man beside her.
Callum shook his head.
Yuck, this man! He only says one word if he can avoid saying two words. He is really taciturn!
Laura finished her dinner quickly, followed by Rachel, and then Callum, who slowed down to accommodate her.
Finally, only Aurelia was still eating, while Rachel and Laura sat opposite her, eating fruit and chatting.
She felt a little embarrassed before eating. It was her first time eating with her mother-in-law, and she ate so much. Would it scare her?
While she was daydreaming, Callum gave her another chicken wing . Noticing that she was not paying attention, he gently reprimanded her, “Focus on eating!”
All right!
After eating until she was full, Laura looked at Aurelia with admiration, “Aunt, you can eat so much, but the key is that you are not fat. I’m so envious!”
…Aurelia couldn’t tell the truth from the falsehood in her words, so she just responded with a smile and continued eating.
Rachel didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. “Being able to eat is a blessing, Aurelia, eat slowly and make sure you are full.”
Aurelia almost cried. She was so lucky to have such a good husband and mother-in-law. “Okay, Mom!”
After dinner, Callum asked the servant to cut another serving of fruit and brought it to Aurelia. Seeing the platter of more than a dozen kinds of fruit, Aurelia, a foodie, ate it all without resistance.
At around nine o’clock in the evening, Rachel let Laura stay in the villa.
Aurelia doesn’t care. Callum and she sleep in the same room anyway, and Laura can’t do anything out of line!
It was late at night and the villa was even quieter.
Rachel knocked on the study door and pushed it open after getting permission from the person inside. Callum was still working on the computer, so she closed the door and walked over to sit down on the chair, “Callum, do you have a lot of work?”
“What’s wrong, Mom?”
Rachel glanced at him, hesitant to speak, “About you and Aurelia, your father’s side…”
Callum was silent.
“You know, in his heart, the eldest daughter of the Grant Family is…”
“Mom! Aurelia and I are already married. When you go back, tell him to put all his thoughts aside.” Callum’s tone was firm.
Rachel looked embarrassed, remembering her father’s temper. Callum closed the laptop and said, “I’ll tell him about this myself. Mom, just pretend you know nothing.”
“No, if you say it, you guys might end up arguing. Let me say it!” Callum and his father Adam often disagree on company matters, and they always end up parting on bad terms.
Callum thought for a moment, “Actually, this was Grandpa’s idea at first, but now it’s my idea. Whether Dad accepts it or not, I can’t separate from Aurelia.”
“Your grandfather?”
“Well, grandpa wants to repay the old lady of the Sheridan Family.” Callum’s grandfather and Aurelia’s grandmother are not only old classmates, but also each other’s first love, and they have been separated for many years.
When they met again, both of them had already started their own families and careers.
Aurelia’s grandmother waited for Callum’s grandfather for many years before getting married. The last time the two met was before Aurelia’s grandmother died.
Callum’s grandfather then realized that Grandma Sheridan had waited for him for so long, and he felt extremely guilty towards her.
Grandma Sheridan pointed at Aurelia who was washing towels for her not far away, and said, “That’s the only granddaughter I can’t let go of. She has been without a mother since she was a child, and it has been very difficult for her over the years… If you have a suitable candidate, I hope you can arrange a good home for her…”
Grandpa Finnegan agreed without hesitation, so Grandpa Finnegan kept Aurelia’s matter in mind.
Not long after Aurelia’s grandmother passed away, Grandpa Finnegan was also in poor health, which delayed his visit to Aurelia. When he found the Sheridan Family again, he learned that Niall’s health was also very bad.
