“Have a seat and I\u2019ll tell you.”<\/p>\n
He tells her everything about how Mia pretended to be sick. After Karin hears it, her eyebrows are still knitting in a frown.<\/p>\n
“Even if she has been cured, the death of her parents has something to do with your family after all. Will you really not feel guilty for her anymore?”<\/p>\n
Troy nods, “Don\u2019t worry, I know what you are afraid of. I guarantee you that I will not make Mia your trouble.”<\/p>\n
“For real?”<\/p>\n
“For real!”<\/p>\n
“Great, you\u2019d better be. Or you will be dead!”<\/p>\n
Seeing her smile, Troy\u2019s mood turns bright right away, “Let\u2019s go for night snack then. I\u2019m a little hungry.”<\/p>\n
“Are we going down the mountain this late?”<\/p>\n
“Or what else can we eat? Yuma is already asleep.”<\/p>\n
Karin pats him on the shoulder, “Although Yuma is asleep, you still have me, don’t forget, my family run a snack bar.”<\/p>\n
Are you saying that you will cook for me?”<\/p>\n
“Of course.”<\/p>\n
“What will you make me then?”<\/p>\n
“What do you want?”<\/p>\n
He thinks for a while and says decisively, “Dumplings.”<\/p>\n
“Dumplings\u2026”<\/p>\n
“What\u2019s the problem?”<\/p>\n
“Nothing, but it\u2019s a little bit complicated. I have to chop stuffing, knead the dough, and wrap it with hands. Probably when it\u2019s done, it\u2019s already dawn, and you are starved to death.”<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s okay, I can wait.”<\/p>\n
“Do you really want to eat dumplings?”<\/p>\n
“Yep\u2026”<\/p>\n
Karin rolls her eyes and says, “\u2026 Fine.” She asks for it. Just going out to eat will save a lot of troubles.<\/p>\n
After entering the kitchen, she puts on an apron, pours flour into the basin, and begins to skillfully knead the dough.<\/p>\n
“Do you need a hand?”<\/p>\n
Troy walks in with a pleasant smile on his face.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ll be fine. You can just eat.”<\/p>\n
“What kind of stuffing are you making then?”<\/p>\n
“Human flesh with celery.”<\/p>\n
What? He opens his eyes wide in horror, and then approaches her flirtatiously, “Is it your flesh? I’ll eat it if it’s yours. I’ve long wanted to have a taste of you.”<\/p>\n
As he says it, he starts to take action, biting her ears, biting her neck, which makes her giggle, “Alright, stop playing, I won’t make you food if you keep playing like this.”<\/p>\n
“Then I will take a shower first.”<\/p>\n
“Go.”<\/p>\n
Making dumplings is really not an easy task, even though she is already very quick, it still takes her a lot of efforts to roll out the crust and chop the stuffing.<\/p>\n
After taking a shower, Troy goes downstairs, and stands in front of her refreshingly, “Not done yet?”<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s still dark outside, what\u2019s the hurry?”<\/p>\n
He raises his eyebrows, “You are not waiting for the dawn, are you?”<\/p>\n
“Do you think it is easy? Have a try yourself.”<\/p>\n
He leans his palm against his brows and sighs, “Alright. I can only do the eating part.”<\/p>\n
He sits next to her, watching her dexterous fingers squeeze out beautiful dumplings within three pinches, and he asks with interest, “You are skilled. Did your father teach you this?”<\/p>\n
“No, my dad wouldn\u2019t teach me. He has been dealing with dumplings for a lifetime. He doesn\u2019t want me to inherit my ancestral business anymore, so he saved money for me to go to college and study abroad, just hoping that I could have a more promising future than his.”<\/p>\n
“So you learned it secretly by yourself?”<\/p>\n
Karin glances at him irritably, “I said my dad had been dealing with dumplings for a lifetime. If you grew up in a family where dumplings are all around, then you don\u2019t need to be taught, and you don\u2019t have to learn it secretly. You can learn without a teacher just by watching.”<\/p>\n
Troy realizes it all of a sudden, “Oh, so it turns out to be like this.”<\/p>\n
He squeezes his chin with one hand, thoughtfully, “What if I didn\u2019t say I wanted to eat dumplings, what are you going to make for me?”<\/p>\n
“Gnocchi.”<\/p>\n
“Gnocchi? What are gnocchi?”<\/p>\n
She stuns for a while and nods, “Yes, what\u2019s wrong?”<\/p>\n
“My host wants to invite you to his house. I wonder if you are available.”<\/p>\n
“Who is your host?”<\/p>\n
“The second uncle of Mr. Troy, Emmanuel Charlie.”<\/p>\n
Karin\u2019s heart trembles for a bit, and she asks politely, “Why is Mr. Emmanuel asking for me?”<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t know about that. You\u2019ll know when you get there.”<\/p>\n
She hesitates for a bit, and gets in the car eventually. What must be must be.<\/p>\n
The car draws for ten minutes and stops in front of a luxurious villa with guards standing on either side of the door. The aura is quite powerful.<\/p>\n
“Miss Karin, please come in.”<\/p>\n
The driver leads her into the magnificent living room. On the sofa sits a middle-aged man of about fifty years old. His eyes are piercing, with a delicate cigar between his fingers and his legs crossed, exuding an aura of majestic king.<\/p>\n
How strange. Didn’t all the elders of the Charles family go to the Ziteng Garden last time? Why does she have no impression of this second uncle?<\/p>\n
Karin thinks suspiciously.<\/p>\n
“Miss, have a seat.”<\/p>\n
Emmanuel gets up and points at the sofa kindly.<\/p>\n
She feels flattered right away. Maybe because she has seen how Troy\u2019s eldest uncle was, she naturally classifies his second uncle as the same kind. But she is a little confused when she hears him call her “miss” in such a friendly manner…<\/p>\n
“Mr. Emmanuel, why do you invite me here?”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t call me Mr. Emmanuel, you can just call me uncle.” He smiles and looks at her, “You look really nice. No wonder my nephew would turn against us for you.”<\/p>\n
Karin feels disappointed suddenly. She thought he was more sensible than the eldest uncle. But it seems like he\u2019s not.<\/p>\n
No matter who it is, as long as he prevents or opposes her relationship with Troy, he\u2019s bad.<\/p>\n
“If you intend to say something to satirize me, it\u2019s not necessary. I\u2019m not staying here to be humiliated.”<\/p>\n
“Ha-ha.”<\/p>\n
Emmanuel laughs out loud, ashes the cigar and says, “Don\u2019t get me wrong. I didn’t invite you here to humiliate you, but just to get acquainted with you. I have heard from my daughter that my elder brother went for you. I was not in Zurich that day, so I can only know what happened from what they said to me. I heard you made my elder brother so angry and fierce. I respect you and I\u2019m also curious. You know, in the whole family, except for Troy, there has never been anyone who dares to confront him.”<\/p>\n
Karin calmly corrects him, “I didn\u2019t confront him. I just think that all men are equal. If he didn\u2019t respect me, I didn\u2019t need to respect him.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2639","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
