My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 435

Chapter 435

After Duke finished cooking dinner, he went upstairs to change his clothes and came downstairs again.

Even though there were only three dishes, they included six steaks. When put all at once, they took up the entire table. Mr. Winters felt quite a sense of accomplishment as a result.

Six of them sat down at the table. There was already a plate of steak that looked pretty excellent in front of each of them.

Duke elegantly put the napkin on his knee and said, "Try it to see what it tastes like." Harold was the first one who was excited to cut a slice of steak and put it into his mouth. After only tasting a bite, the little guy wrinkled his brow and said, "It's so hard, too hard, I hardly can chew it."

Duke was speechless.

According to the chef, the fire was just right for grilling the steak. Why was the steak so tough?

Alden tasted a bite of steamed sea bass and said, "The fish meat is quite fresh and juicy, but it's too salty."

Duke could not come up with any words.

The chef mentioned that'it would be good to just put two spoons of salt, and he also followed his instruction to put only two spoons of salt. What made it salty? George ate the scalded shrimp. "The shrimp is cooked, but the sauce is a little spicy."

Duke remained silent.

The sauce was mixed by the chef. He refused to accept responsibility for it. Melody took a piece of the cola-glazed chicken wing into her bowl. She took a bite, and then another bite. Seeing that gave Duke's heart a little comfort.

However, Adina suddenly said, "Mel, stop eating it. The center of the chicken wings is still uncooked."

She was forced to take the chicken wings out of Mel's bowl.

Mel pouted as she was very unhappy that her favorite food had been taken away.

Duke remained silent at this point.

But he felt it was time for him to speak up.

He coughed and said, "I was directed by the chef to make all these dishes, and I don't know how it ended out like this."

He was not blaming the chefs in any way. He was just telling the truth.

No one spoke among the group of chefs huddled in the kitchen.

Duke had his own opinions, and as they were powerless to influence him, they likewise refused to take responsibility for it.

Fortunately, the chefs had anticipated the possible scenario and prepared an extra portion of each dish.

After Adina had asked to remove the dishes, the maids brought the newly made dishes back to the table, and this time, the children finally did not spit out what they had placed in their mouths. Harold said while eating the cola-glazed chicken wings," Daddy, you better not cook in the future. What if you poison us to death?"

Duke also tasted the sensation of a million arrows prickling his heart.

However, Adina felt Duke had done rather well on his first attempt.

She smiled and said, “Hal, it took your daddy about two hours to prepare this meal. Regardless of the outcome, you should say thank you to him."

Harold swallowed the food in his mouth and thanked his

daddy reluctantly.

"The wine is here, and I also found a little fruit wine." Mr. Brown walked into the dining room carrying a few bottles of wine. "This is Lafite. It has been kept at home for more than 20 years, and today it was finally put to use. These fruit wines were bought last year. Several young masters can each drink half a glass."

Mr. Brown took six tall glasses and poured wine for each

of them.

George raised the fruit wine glass and said, "Thank you, Daddy, for preparing dinner for us."

He clinked glasses with Duke and drank half a glass of the fruit wine.

Alden also raised his glass and clinked it with Duke," Thank you, daddy, for the steamed sea bass. It tastes excellent."

Alden genuinely meant what he said. He raised his head and sipped almost a whole glass of wine.

Melody smiled sweetly and said, "I like Daddy's cooking.

Thank you, Daddy, for cooking for me."
