Chapter: 1271
“Brian, is it a business dinner? Where are you?” Noemi persisted.
A flicker of impatience flashed across Brian’s eyes.
His mother must have enlisted Selina to accompany him.
“Mom, don’t worry about me. If that’s all you want, I’ll hang up. Bye,”
Brian uttered, intending to end the call.
However, as he glanced at the ginger in his hand, an instinctive query escaped his lips. “By the way,
Mom, do you happen to know the proper proportions of ginger and brown sugar for ginger soup with

Noemi’s displeasure grew when Brian showed haste in ending the call.
His additional question caught her off guard.
“What’s with the sudden interest?” she inquired, her tone tinged with surprise.
Regret immediately washed over Brian. Why had he sought his mother’s advice?
“It’s nothing, Mom. I have to hang up.”
“Wait! Is it for Rosalynn?” Noemi’s voice now carried a tone of fury.
“Brian, you are a man destined for greatness. How noble you are! Don’t you realize that a gentleman
should steer clear of the kitchen? How dare you attempt to make ginger soup for a woman?”
Brian let out a sigh. “Mom, I was just asking casually. Bye.”
As he ended the call, Noemi continued to call out his name on the other end. Frustrated by his abrupt
hang-up, she angrily tossed the phone aside. It rebounded off the sofa and fell to the floor
Observing the commotion, Selina approached and retrieved the phone, offering it to Noemi. “What’s
wrong? Why are you so upset?”
Noemi’s eyes burned with anger. “My own son didn’t come to have dinner with me, yet he’s busy
cooking ginger soup for Rosalynn. He’s an influential man! How did he become so humble?”
A flicker of jealousy flashed in Selina’s eyes
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Deanna and I are accustomed to it. We witnessed firsthand how Brian cared for Rosalynn during
dinner. It seemed Like Rosalynn took it all for granted and didn’t appreciate Brian at all. Isn’t that right,
Deanna?”
Witnessing the intense scrutiny directed towards her, Deanna blinked and offered a nod of
acknowledgment.
Noemi’s anger was unabated. “Rosalynn is audacious! Ever since Brian was a child, I never had him
engage in such menial tasks. Even after their marriage, she shouldn’t be treating my son as her
lackey.”
Deanna murmured, her lips barely moving, “It doesn’t matter. If he’s willing to do these things for her, it
indicates that they have a strong relationship.”
