Chapter 205

If this little girl were a stock, her value would have skyrocketed by now.

Thinking about what lan had just said, Nelson glanced at him and asked, “Are you sure it’s Yvonne and I who are destined? Shouldn’t it be you two instead?”

A few months ago, when lan brought this child to his shop, he never would have thought that she was actually his long–lost

niece.

Ian curled his lips into a smile but remained silent, thinking, ‘Of course, Yvonne and I are the ones truly destined

Jeremy happened to think the same thing.

Nelson couldn’t stay here for too long since his business partner was still waiting inside, so he got straight to the point and asked the question that mattered most to him: “That stew–did you really make it?”

“Yes,” Ian’s smile faded as he nodded seriously.

Ian replied, “Don’t look at me with that suspicious gaze. Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes? Think about it–how long has it been since you last ate my cooking? Isn’t it only natural that I’ve improved?”

He spoke so naturally, without a hint of nervousness or hesitation, that if it were someone unfamiliar with him, they might have believed him.

But Nelson had known lan for many years–he might be able to fool others, but not him.

Nelson shot him an exasperated glance and countered, “Cut it out. I know you too well.”

Leaning in slightly, he added, “Cooking at this level requires talent. Even the top chefs in the country, who cook every single day, haven’t progressed that quickly.”

That was a fair point.

Ian knew he couldn’t fool Nelson, so he wasn’t surprised.

Instead, he admitted, “Alright, fine, it wasn’t me. It was actually Yvonne.”

He held the little girl’s soft, warm hand, gently rubbing it as he looked up with a smile and said, “Surprised? Feels like a miracle, doesn’t it?”

Ian wasn’t worried at all–because he knew no one would believe him.

Nelson stared at him for a few seconds, frowning slightly, and said seriously, “If you had told me it was Jeremy who made it, I might have believed you.”

Beside him, Jeremy’s eyes widened in surprise. Excitedly, he asked, “Huh? Mr. Landstrom, do you want to try my cooking?”

Nelson had never tasted it before, but seeing the boy’s eager expression, he instinctively felt uneasy. He quickly shook his head in response, “No, save it for your dad.”

He shook his head, “No, keep it for your dad to eat.”

Jeremy propped his chin on his hand, his clear voice tinged with frustration as he replied, “But my dad won’t eat it.”

Nelson could already guess as much.
