Mr. Lowell specially asked someone to prepare the kitchen for her. All the ingredients had been prepared as well but she would have to come up with the recipe on her own.

"I won't make things difficult for you, Miss Zais. It'd be harsh on you if I'd asked you to recreate everything on the menu. How about this? You can pick one dish that you're confident in recreating. I'll leave the kitchen to you. We'll wait outside."

"Alright then."

After that, Mr. Lowell invited Ralph and Mabie to the patio to have some tea. He was good at making tea, however, none of them knew how to drink or appreciate it properly.

Ralph was not the type to drink tea. He did not know how to appreciate it but he knew how to heap praises.

After taking a sip, he immediately said, "Good tea."

Mr. Lowell just smiled and said nothing.

Mabie was a little worried about her daughter that she was not in the mood to drink the tea. After Ralph told her about Mr. Lowell and his wife's story, she felt that the man was a devoted husband. If that store was the only memory he

had of his wife, then she understood why he did not allow anyone to renovate the store and why he had set the rent so high.

But now, she felt that he was asking too much.

Vera had never met his wife and this was the first time they had met Mr. Lowell. However, now, he had asked her to recreate the dishes on his wife's menu.

It was impossible.

Mabie knew it was too good to be true when she heard that Mr. Lowell was willing to lower the rent. It sounded more like he wanted to humiliate them.

She felt a flicker of irritation run through her and she wanted to express her thoughts. However, when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered her daughter's warning. Hence, she had no choice but to hold back her words.

Forget it. Her daughter was currently in the kitchen making the dish. She had to have faith in her.

If she wanted to say anything, she would say it after her daughter was done making the dish.

Ralph was unsure how many cups of tea he had drunk while waiting. Mr. Lowell kept making new batches of tea, so he decided to show him respect by drinking the tea.

It was currently winter. His body felt very warm after consuming so much tea.
