Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

163 Parenting

Since the establishment of Penny's fan club, most members have been busy even at weekends. Lily wanted to keep the momentum and thus, she was hosting a charity event on the weekend. Although not every member participated due to a variety of reasons, the ones who signed up were enough to support the cause.

When Saturday rolled in, Jessa had to visit the Bennet Mansion to do some large cooking for Tomorrow's event. Helping her in the kitchen was Allison. Allison could have asked the chefs to do it for them, but Jessa already told her she was coming to teach her and also to use Allison's kitchen because it was more spacious.

As they chopped some vegetables quietly, Allison couldn't help but glance in Jessa's direction. Unlike her, Jessa had been slicing through everything with precision.

"It's amazing," she thought. I think she has better knife skills than some chefs."

Allison gazed down on her board, and she took minutes to finish chopping some

carrots. When she was done, she turned to Jessa. Her small bowl of chopped vegetables was akin

to an ant compared to Jessa's output.

"Where do I... put these?" she asked meekly, making Jessa pause.

Jessa glanced at her before her eyes fell on the small bowl. "We're feeding an entire community, and that's all

you got?

"I'm not used to feeding an entire community."
