“Ah! That's more like it!” Joyce eventually put her hands down in satisfaction.

Caitlin poured two cups of tea and served one of them to Justin. “Justin, don't reject anything right away. Joyce should return you the favor. Even if it's between husband and wife, no one should expect the other party to be spending on the gifts at all times, isn't it?”

“Mom, I share the same sentiment with you.” Joyce nodded in agreement.

Justin took the cup of tea from Caitlin and threw a subtle glance at Joyce before replying, “Mrs. Rivers, I got it. I'm sorry for my impulsiveness just now.”

Caitlin uttered joyfully, “It's all right. Take a seat first. Join us for lunch later, okay?”

Justin nodded, gasping admiringly, “Okay! Mrs. Rivers, it's been quite a while since I last tasted the dishes prepared by you. I can still remember vividly quite a few delicious dishes that you used to prepare. Ah! Garlic butter grilled fish is undoubtedly your signature dish!”

Flattered by him, Caitlin could not refrain from chuckling. “Ha! You're indeed good at flattering. Okay, I'll prepare garlic butter grilled fish for you in a while. Joyce, give your dad a call now. Ask him to stop playing chess with his friends and go to the market now to buy me a fish.”

“Okay!” Joyce whipped out the phone and gave Jonathan a call.
