Chapter 148:

After thirty minutes had passed, Norah efficiently whipped up five dishes and a soup, offering both stir-fried and chilled options, the tantalizing aroma filling the kitchen.

Susanna inhaled deeply, exclaiming, “Wow, the aroma is incredible! I’m eager to dig in!”

The quartet took their seats at the dining table. Norah served the prized cedar wine to Sean and Phillip, and prepared warm soy milk for Susanna. “Here is the finest cedar wine. Please enjoy yourselves.”

Phillip hesitated, eyeing the liquid before him, mindful of his upcoming drive.

Noticing Phillip’s expression, Sean said, “Alright. It’s Norah’s treat. Feel free to indulge.” Sean gracefully lifted the goblet, swirling it with refined elegance, exuding an air of nobility. He brought the glass close to his nose. “This cedar wine is light, clear, and elegant, with a delightful aroma,” he described before taking a sip and savoring its smooth, mellow flavor.

“Are you a connoisseur, Sean?” Norah raised an eyebrow. “Not everyone is familiar with cedar wine.”

This particular liquor wasn’t commonly found, so Norah was pleasantly surprised by its purity when she first tasted it with the Hayes family.

Among the wealthy, wine, champagne, and whiskey were commonplace, with wine standing out as a high-end liquor, renowned for its rich aroma and distinctive flavor. Affluent connoisseurs often sought aged wine for tasting and collection purposes.

Norah seemed to have monopolized most of the cedar wine due to her fondness for it.

“This is my first time tasting it, and it’s excellent liquor.” Sean picked up his fork, examining the array of dishes. There were five in total, with only one featuring cilantro.

“Last time, I noticed that both you and Susanna avoid cilantro, so I prepared only one dish with it. Please give it a try,” Norah explained.

Susanna, the group’s ambiance specialist, praised each dish from the first to the last, creating a cheerful atmosphere throughout. Norah relished this positive feedback, dining with a content smile.
