My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 582

After Fabian left, Eudora realized that something was amiss.

"So, Juju, just now, you deliberately competed with Fabian to get him him to leave?"

Juju rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "Mommy, you've been too protected by Daddy. You don't know anything about the sinister ways of the outside world."

"And in the end, you still needed your daughter to save you?"

But on the surface, Juju pretended to not know anything.

"Mommy, what did you say?"

When facing Eudora, Juju had to maintain her innocent, vivacious and adorable persona. Otherwise, Eudora might not believe her anymore the next time! Eudora also felt a little puzzled when she saw Juju's innocent expression, wondering what was amiss.

Juju was still a child, it was impossible for her to be so scheming.

Leaving this thought behind, Eudora walked over to Juju and picked up the fishing rod.

"Juju, do you still want to fish? I'll help you!"

"No need for that. There are already enough fish here!"

After Juju spoke, she released the smaller fishes back into the water, and left two larger ones for Eudora.

"Mommy, I want to have fried fish with chilies tonight, is that okay?"

In the past, in order to take good care of the children, Eudora would usually prepare healthy, light dishes. She never cooked spicy, greasy food at home. "No, Juju, you can't eat spicy food!"

"Yes, I can!" Juju insisted.

Eudora had no choice but to give in. "Alright! Let's go back then. I'll cook for the both of you."

When they got back, they chanced upon Malcom and Tyler playing chess in the living room. Beside the men was a servant saying, "Sir, the dishes for dinner tonight, you see..." Eudora hurriedly handed over the freshly caught fishes. "Sorry, I want to cook fried chili fish tonight instead. Is that alright?"

The servant nodded immediately. "Of course!"

Tyler's eyes lit up. "Eudora, you know how to make that dish?"

Tyler enjoyed the food from Rosaville City, however, he was a local of Greene City at heart. Most of the citizens of Greene City loved spicy food.

Therefore, when he heard that Eudora was going to make a spicy dish, he was very happy.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to taste my daughter's fried chili fish!"

Malcom immediately shot a jealous look at Tyler. He had struggled against Tyler for almost all of his life, but in the end, he was defeated by Tyler just because of Eudora. However, Malcom couldn't get angry.

Tyler seemed to have sensed Malcom's displeasure.

So, he smiled deliberately and asked, "What do you think?"

Malcom remembered Fabian's repeated reminders to tolerate Tyler, hence, he suppressed his anger.

He merely replied, "Sure."

Tyler was even happier. "If I remember correctly, you also love spicy food! Eudora, you should make a bigger portion!"

Eudora's mind was filled with nonsensical thoughts. She had originally wanted to make the dish just for her children, so why was it now her job to cook for everyone? Alas, it was hard to refuse the request at that point. Anyway, it didn't matter since she was going to cook for the children.

Eudora followed the servant away, with Juju in tow.

"Mommy, I'll help you!"

Along the way, the servant said, "Miss Eudora, our Young Master can't handle his food too spicy. When you cook later, be sure to keep the spice level to a minimum!" Eudora nodded. She hadn't planned on making the food too spicy, to begin with. After all, Juju was just a child, having overly spicy food may not be suitable for her. Juju, on the other hand, rolled her eyes and a devious scheme formed in her mind again.

After they arrived at the kitchen, little Juju started helping Eudora proactively. However, there were quite a few domestic helpers in the kitchen, and hence Eudora and Juju were not really able to do much. The main dish for their meal was the fish with chilies. Eudora went to wash her hands after putting all the ingredients into the pot.

Juju volunteered to stand in front of the stove. "Mommy, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Eudora couldn't help but smile in delight.

"Okay, thank you!"

After Eudora left, Juju took the chilis from the bowl on the table and poured them all into the pot. She then stirred the pot for a while until she was satisfied and went back to stand at her original position. In the living room, Fabian went off to settle his own business after he left from Eudora and the others.

When he came back, he saw Tyler in the distance.

"Fabian, you're back at just the right time. It'll be your first time tasting Eudora's cooking, right? You must have more!"

Fabian nodded, "Okay!"

Although he had never tasted Eudora's cooking, he had heard that the first time Eudora met Tyler, she had impressed him with her cooking skills, and that was how Amos had left the Holt household. Hence, Fabian was really a little curious.

Just as he was thinking about it, the servant came over to announce dinner.

"Dinner is ready. Shall we eat now?"

Tyler immediately put down the chess piece in his hand and agreed, "Let's have dinner!"

Malcom couldn't help but murmur to Fabian behind him, "You have to eat a little more later. Eudora cooked it personally, and she'd be delighted if you eat more."

Fabian replied dryly. "Father, I know."

"What do you know anyway?! If you knew any better, you would not have needed my help at all! You have known each other for several months, but you haven't done anything yet!" Fabian was rendered speechless. Was a few months considered a long time?

Soon, the servants arranged the table and everyone sat down accordingly.

Juju's eyes were fixed on the fish dish. Tyler was the oldest family member and was also a guest. Therefore, he took the first piece of fish.

"Not bad, it's delicious."

Tyler complimented with a smile. He wasn't just saying it out of courtesy, for it really was delicious.

It was just that...

After eating it, even he who could handle spicy food well, felt that the dish was quite indeed quite spicy! "It's just a little..."

Before he could even say the word 'spicy',

Juju immediately handed him a glass of milk.

"Grandpa, here you go!"

Tyler immediately stopped his thoughts and happily took the glass of milk and drank a big mouthful.

"Who said that daughters are the apples of their fathers' eyes? Granddaughters are a delight too!"

Malcom looked enviously at the happy family and couldn't help but poke at Fabian again. "Fabian, have a taste!"

At the same time, he winked desperately, probably hinting Fabian not to forget what he had instructed.

Fabian had no choice but to pick up his spoon and put a piece of fish into his mouth. It tasted decent, and the fish was very tender and smooth.

The next second, when his taste buds finally reacted, the intense spiciness had numbed his mouth.

Fabian paused suddenly, and Malcom, who was next to him, pressed him on the shoulder.

Malcom thought that Fabian was just not used to the taste, but Eudora was looking at him. How could Fabian really spit the piece of fish out?

Under Malcom's aura of oppressive, Fabian forced himself to swallow the fish.

When he was about to put down his spoon, Juju, who was seated next to him, smiled and stood up again.

"Uncle, is the food made by Mommy delicious?"

Fabian's smile was stiff. He had been afraid of spicy food since he was a child. When it was serious, his skin would be affected. Now, his whole mouth and stomach were burning hot. However, he couldn't say that it wasn't tasty, so he just nodded his head slightly and said, "It's very good."

Within the next second, Juju pushed the whole dish over. "Uncle, please have a little more!"

Fabian was completely dumbfounded.
