S31 16. Make Dinner

Seeing her favorite person, Diana’s face immediately brightened. “It’s nothing, Sophie. It’s

no big deal. It’s just that Kara refused my request to make dinner.”

“It wasn’t Mommy who refused, It was us who forbade her. Mommy has a fever,” Louis

explained in an annoyed tone.

Sophia blinked in annoyance. However, two seconds later, the sound of her laughter was

heard.

“Gosh, Grandma. If Kara can’t make it, I’m willing to prepare dinner. You don’t need to be

angry.”

“Sophie, why are you siding with them? I just want this woman to cook. Can’t you just

fulfill an old woman’s wish?”

Confusion spread in the air. No one dared to refute Diana’s last sentence. Like it or not,

Kara made a decision-to give in again.

“Okay, I’ll prepare dinner. Do you have any special orders, Grandma?”

Diana’s chin lifted along with her eyebrows. “Anything. What’s

important is that you cook. Not someone else.”

“Okay.” Kara nodded while secretly glancing at Frank, asking for him not to say anything

else.

Only after Diana and her favorite guest left did he whisper, “You can’t force yourself,

Kara.”

“Yes, what if Mommy’s fever gets worse?” Emily furrowed her brows, exasperated.

Kara smiled and shook her head gently. “Don’t worry. I am strong. My body is just adapting

to the cold weather. Later the fever will subside.

Now, do you want to help me prepare dinner?”

The twins nodded swiftly. The curve of Kara’s lips widened.

“Then, let’s go to the kitchen. Let’s check what’s available in the refrigerator. There’s still

plenty of time, even for the difficult menu.”

Without waiting for orders, Frank and Barbara followed. However, their steps deliberately

slowed down.

“Brother, I’m sorry. I was helpless earlier,” Barbara tugged at Frank’s shirt.

“Where were you when they bullied Kara?”

Barbara scowled. “Grandma told me to wrap the gifts. She didn’t listen when I protested.

Trust me, I had done everything I could to protect my sister-in-law.”

Frank sighed faintly. “Well, that’s okay. But I have to reduce your pocket money.”

Barbara gasped. “You think I’m looking after Kara for money?”

She stopped Frank’s steps then crossed her arms. “I protect Kara because she is my sister-

in-law. My intentions are sincere.”

“Yes, I know. But I still want to cut your pocket money. That way, I’ll be a little less

annoyed.”

Barbara snorted in disbelief. “That is not fair.”

“Now you protest?”

“That’s because the deduction doesn’t make sense. Even though I can earn my own

money, I still need extra. The New Year’s gifts I want to buy for Louis and Emily are

expensive.”

Frank smiled slightly. “Now you admit that you expected money from me.”

“I really

the money,” Barbara grumbled. However, a second later,

her expression turned sad. “You know that marriage costs a lot of money, right? I want to

help Philip.”

“Philip has a lot of savings. What are you worrying about?”

Barbara rolled her eyes upwards. Her lips were slightly forward.

“He drained his savings to make my dream wedding come true. If our mission went

smoothly, I wouldn’t feel guilty. But the situation is like this. It feels impossible for us to

get close to Grandma. Without that inheritance, Philip’s savings are dying.”

Laughing softly, Frank ruffled Barbara’s hair. “Your standards are too high, Sister. Even if

you spend one billion, the hundreds of millions that are sitting in Philip’s savings are still a

lot.”

“So you still want to cut my pocket money?”

Frank smiled crookedly. “You’ll see. Now let’s go to the kitchen. Don’t let Kara’s workload

pile up.”

Pouting, Barbara let Frank push her back. Unbeknownst to both of them, Sophia had been

watching. A sly smile was carved on her face. <

“Thank you, Barbara. You gave me a brilliant idea,” she muttere

Then, she changed course. Other things were much more imp than showing her presence

in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, the others began to divide the tasks. Kara took cal the meat, Frank and

Barbara peeled the potatoes, while the twins were busy at the sink. Their laughter could

occasionally be heard amidst the sound of splashing water.

“Louis, wash them properly. The tomatoes will be flabby if you keep dropping them.”

“I’ve tried my best, Emily. But the tomatoes are too big and round.

They roll easily.

“That’s just your excuse. Look, I can do it even though my hands are smaller than yours.”

On the other side of the kitchen, a pair of siblings was also working

while arguing.

“Brother, you peeled it too deeply. Look, a lot of skin was wasted.” Barbara pointed at the

evidence with a knife.

“You’re the one who didn’t peel it deeply enough. Look, your potatoes go black.”.

Barbara’s brows furrowed. “But the potatoes that you peeled are also starting to go

black.”

Kara smiled at the conversation. “Have you put water in the bowl?”

Frank and Barbara turned their heads in unison. “Isn’t it the last step?”

“The peeled potatoes should be soaked immediately so they don’t

turn black.”

Frank and Barbara spontaneously rounded their mouths. Without waiting for orders, Frank

brought a bowl towards the twins, asking them to fill it with water.

Meanwhile, Barbara took a potato and took it to Kara. “Sister-in-law, did I not remove

enough skin?”

Kara smiled amusedly. “Yeah, peel it a little deeper.”

Frank’s laughter immediately echoed. “I told you. I’m the one who’s right.”

“Is that so?” Barbara reached out, taking one potato from the bowl. The water splashed on

Louis’ face.

“Phuh!” Louis spontaneously scooped his face. “Auntie!”

Emily giggled again. “That’s a payback for playing with the tomatoes all along.”

Ignoring Louis’s groan, Barbara showed Kara the potato. “How about this?”

Kara’s heart tingled again when she saw the drastically reduced size of the potato. “Frank,

you’re peeling it too deep.”

“Really?”

It was Barbara’s turn to laugh. “We’re the same, Brother. You’re no better than me.”

Frank’s lips pursed. When he returned to the table, he didn’t dare speak any more.

However, when he was about to continue peeling potatoes, Philip

came in a hurry. His face was a little panicked.

“Barbara, your father called. He asked why your number wasn’t active, “Philip said with a

high arched eyebrow.

“Have you got a signal?” Frank and Barbara asked in unison.

Philip nodded. “Yes. Come on, hurry! Don’t lose the signal.”

Barbara wiped her hands as she walked to the door. “Where’s cell phone?” She threw the

napkin to the table.

“I still hang it on the tree.”

Barbara sighed in disbelief. “You want me to climb a tree?”

“What else can I do? That’s the only place my phone can get a signal.”

The twins’ laughter suddenly filled the air. “I can imagine how much trouble it would be for

Auntie to climb a tree.”

“That would be cute. How about we watch it

or a while?”

Louis’ eyes widened. “That’s a great idea! Mommy, can we stop for a moment?”

“We’ve finished washing all the vegetables!” Emily placed the last tomato in the basin

then raised both hands.

Kara smiled. “Yes, Little Angels.”

“Woohoo! Thank you, Mommy!”.

The twins slumped down from the chairs they were standing on. Then, they ran to the

front door.

“Auntie, wait for us!”

Kara stared wide-eyed at the speed of the two toddlers. “Little Bee, dry your hands first!”

Not getting an answer, Kara washed her hands. “Frank, I’ll handle the twins.”

“Yeah. Don’t forget to bring their hats and gloves too. They won’t be there for a while.”

Kara nodded then hurried to follow She didn’t notice that someone was waiting for Frank

to be alone.
