Chapter 1998

Isabel had eaten Roland's mother's cooking several times.

The first time was after Roland was officially hired as the vice president of Carter Corporation. He mentioned that this was his mother's way of thanking Isabel for helping her back then.

Isabel never thought much of what she did for his mother since it did not take much effort on her part. However, Roland sounded very sincere when he invited her. Another factor was his irresistibly handsome face which made it near impossible for her to say no.

She thought it was going to be a regular meal and wanted to get it over with quickly. To her surprise, his mother had made a sumptuous feast fit for a king where the table was stacked full of different dishes and all of them tasted of gourmet quality. She even thought she was dining at a five- star restaurant at one point.

Furthermore, it was cuisine from Southboro that she had not tasted for a long time.

Although Southboro was a place associated with painful memories, the quality of the food there was the one thing redeemable from her stay there.

Ever since getting her first taste of Roland's mother’s cooking, she would make up an excuse to go to their place once every month or so, just to get another taste of the wonderful cooking.

Since it was Roland himself who offered an invitation this time, she would be a fool not to take it.
