In Daprein. Stacey and Hayden had been busy in the kitchen for long time before dinner was finally ready.

Lillian and Kevin were called in for dinner. Seeing the delicious dishes on the table, their eyes lit up with excitement. Even Loretta was shocked. ‘Is this really cooked by my uncle? Wow! It looks delicious tool It looks even better than what Dad madel she thought.

At that moment, Loretta suddenly felt a little bit jealous. She glanced at Lillian and Kevin and then couldn’t help but look at her uncle. ‘Could L… make Uncle Hayden my dad?‘ she thought.

However, this thought quickly passed through Loretta’s mind. She shook her head and pushed that dangerous idea away. No. I’d better not. Although Daddy’s cooking isn’t as good as Uncle Hayden’s, she makes cakes for me and Mom every day Besides, Daddy builds beautiful castles and takes me and Mom on trips every year. Daddy is also very nice, and I don’t need to have a new one! she thought.

Debra was also amazed. When Hayden said he could cook, she was actually a bit shocked, but at that time, she thought Hayden would just make ordinary home–cooked dishes–nothing too surprising. Even people from wealthy families sometimes liked to cook for themselves. But Debra didn’t expect that the dishes Hayden could make were anything but simple home–cooked meals; they were simply amazing.

“Hay, these dishes… thank you,” Debra said. Being a smart person, she quickly realized that Hayden was trying to impress Becky with all this.

Hayden looked at Debra and smiled, “Becky helped too. We made this together.”

Debra laughed broadly and nodded repeatedly. “Okay!”

“Let’s sit down and eat together.” Hayden invited them with a smile.

Marissa and Joey were still staring at Hayden, the couple was also amazed by the spread. They knew that Hayden wanted to show off in front of Becky and her two kids, but they didn’t expect him to have such skills.

“Daddy, I want to eat that bird!” After sitting down, Kevin said excitedly while pointing at a dish.

Hayden smiled and agreed, “Okay”

“Daddy, I want to eat that flower! The red one is so beautiful!” Lillian exclaimed, looking at the red flowers decorated on another plate.

Hayden looked at Lillian and nodded with a smile, “Okay!”

Loretta felt anxious as she watched her younger brother and sister make their choices. She looked around the table and finally spotted the deer dish. She quickly shouted, “Uncle, I want that deer!”

Hayden responded as usual, “Okay.” He then started serving the three children their chosen dishes: Kevin wanted the bird, Lillian wanted the red flower, and Loretta wanted the deer.

“Wait a minute!” Just as Hayden’s spoon was about to go down, Debra rushed to stop him.

Hayden halted and looked up at Debra..

Debra quickly grabbed her phone, saying anxiously, “Wait a minute! I need to take a photo first!”

Everyone laughed at this. Hayden couldn’t help but chuckle, and Stacey also took out her phone, secretly snapping many photos of the beautifully arranged dishes on the table.

While cooking in the kitchen, she had already taken several photos because the dishes looked stunning. She didn’t dare to

believe that such beautiful meals could be made with those familiar ingredients..

She wanted to capture all the dishes so she could practice at home. Cooking such cute and beautiful food should help with getting children to eat, especially Jeremy.

Since Lillian and Kevin grew up, she hadn’t noticed that the two kids were picky eaters. They almost ate whatever was served. But Hayden had put in the effort because Jeremy was a picky eater.

When Jeremy was at her house, he was very well–behaved. He would eat whatever was presented to him and never caused a fuss. However, this kind of obedience made Stacey feel a bit distressed now.

Jeremy is also a child who should be as carefree as Lillian and Kevin. There’s no need for him to be so obedient and sensible in front of other people. He doesn’t have to please others; he could be favored!‘ She thought.

After taking photos, everyone began to eat dinner. Hayden first served all the dishes that the three children had requested into their bowls, and then the adults joined in.

But facing such a beautiful spread, Stacey didn’t know how to start. Every dish was perfect; it felt like a shame to eat it.

“Don’t you like it?” Hayden’s voice suddenly came from beside her.

Stacey was startled. Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she immediately shook her head.

“Then why aren’t you eating?” Hayden frowned slightly, worried that she didn’t like the food he had prepared.

Stacey was speechless.

Everyone was secretly observing Stacey’s expression. Marissa felt excited to see Hayden in a relationship up close, while Joey was also curious about the situation.

Debra was a bit intrigued, thinking. This table of dishes really reflects his feelings. Becky is not someone who lacks senses: she should be able to discern good food from bad, right?

Just… I think these dishes are so beautiful that it would be a pity to eat them,” Stacey admitted, noting that everyone was watching her. Her ears turned red with embarrassment.

Hearing this. Hayden smiled. He picked up the serving fork and placed a dish he knew Stacey liked into her bowl. “Enjoy it

Marissa held her bowl and felt a twinge of envy. She thought, ‘A Hayden is so good at this. Why didn’t I see it before?

Joey watched as Marissa stared at Hayden and felt a little sad in his heart. Though he knew Hayden was just his wife’s cousin, seeing their connection stirred something in him. He picked up his fork and said to Marissa, “Let’s eat.”

Stacey noticed the interaction between Joey and Marissa, which made her feel less embarrassed. She sighed with relief.

“Everyone, come on. You don’t have to pick up food for me. L… can serve myself, Stacey mumbled.

But Hayden didn’t seem to hear her; he kept serving dishes for Stacey throughout dinner. When she finished one dish, he’d offer her another.

Marissa also had her husband serve her food. Although Lillian and Kevin were young, they had developed the habit of serving each other at home. From time to time, they would pass food not only to each other but also to Loretta.

Seeing her younger siblings picking food for one another made Loretta proactive too. She grabbed her small fork and carefully picked up food for them.

As a result, Debra found herself alone at the table. Fortunately, even though Lillian and Kevin were busy serving each other, they occasionally remembered their grandma and turned to pick some food for her. Debra finally felt included; she felt her love for the kids paid off.
