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.”
