The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 211
Chapter 211: Looking Familiar
“Sophia is back?” David could smell the aroma of food in the air before entering the room. He couldn’t help but salivate. The food he had for lunch had long been digested. At this time, his stomach was growling with hunger.
“Yes, David, I’m back.” Sophia saw David running over excitedly. Her face was filled with a happy smile. There was still one place where the people would always look forward to and wait for her. How nice.
“Quickly wash your hands. I’ve made your favorite dishes.” Laura smiled and pointed at the dishes on the table.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten at yours. Thank you.” Olivia looked at the dishes in front of her and said sincerely. Laura’s cooking skills were famous in the entire neighborhood.
Sophia looked at the few seemingly ordinary but extremely delicious dishes on the table. She could not help but salivate. It had been a long time since she had tasted her mother Laura’s cooking.
She could not help but pick up her cutlery and taste a piece of sweet and sour fish. It was indeed delicious, and the taste was very palatable. She could not help but exclaim in admiration.
She smiled and nodded, then picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth. The fish was fresh and tender, and the meat was exquisite, fresh and sweet, and delicious. It gave people a long aftertaste.
“Delicious!” Sophia could not help but give a thumbs up and praise it. Laura’s cooking was really good.
Hearing Sophia’s comments, Laura smiled. She knew that her daughter had been missing her cooking.
“Your cooking is getting better. It’s really delicious,” Olivia quickly echoed. She couldn’t wait to rush to the dining room and finish all the dishes on the table. That way, she would be able to relieve her hunger.
“Mom, you’re so biased. You only cook like this when Sophia is around. I don’t usually get this kind of treatment. Other families value sons over daughters. Look at our family. Sophia is a treasure, and I’m a weed.”
“David, it’s not that exaggerated. Don’t you know how Mom treats you? I haven’t been back for a long time, so I deserve special treatment. Are you jealous?”
“I’m not jealous of you. Here, eat this. I heard that you suddenly fell in love with tofu. I learned it recently.” David complained about Laura’s favoritism but still pushed Sophia’s favorite dishes to her side.
“David, you said that Laura is biased. I think you’re biased too.”
“Haha, Olivia, you eat more too,” David quickly said to Olivia.
Seeing the three of them eating so happily, Laura smiled. Since Sophia was not around, Olivia had come less often. David and Carl often worked overtime, and the house was usually empty.
At eight o’clock in the evening, the three finally stopped the feast, leaving only traces of a glorious meal in the room. They had dined for two hours.
Sophia leaned on the sofa and touched her bulging belly with her hand. She hadn’t eaten so much for a long time.
“I wonder if you will hurt the baby if you continue to eat like this,” Laura said as she sat on another chair and drank coffee.
Sophia had always felt that the more she drank coffee, the more energetic she became. However, her mother said that she could sleep well after drinking coffee. In that case, her mother was different from the others.
Sophia shook her head and smiled as she agreed, “Of course not. It’s the baby who wants to eat it. Besides, I can’t bear to part with it. I still hope she will look after me when I’m old.” She looked very confident.
“How can you have a child with the intention to have it look after you in your old age? A daughter is meant to be spoiled. The matter of old age should be left to the son. Olivia, don’t you think so?”
“Hahahahaha, yes, yes, yes. Laura, you’re absolutely right. Daughters are meant to be spoiled.” “Hey, Mom. You’re being biased again, aren’t you?” David protested.
Sophia sat beside him with a faint smile on her face. Looking at the lively scene in front of her, she felt happy. She didn’t know when it started, but it had been a long time since she had been so happy.
It wasn’t entirely because of work. Perhaps it was because she was away from home. No matter how good the people she met treated her and cared for her, they could never be as happy as a family. Unfortunately, her father, Carl, was still on a business trip. However, she would stay home for a long time after she had resigned. Soon, their family would be able to sit together.
“Did the two of you return on your own just now?” David suddenly asked. He remembered that the man who had brushed shoulders with him earlier looked somewhat familiar. He felt that he had seen him somewhere before.
“Yes, Sophia came in my car,” Olivia quickly replied. David was not far away from them. Could he have seen it?
That was not right. Knowing David, he would have rushed up to them if he saw someone bullying his sister. But why did he ask this?
“David, why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
“I saw someone at the door just now, and he looked a little familiar. I thought it was the person who sent you back earlier. It’s nothing. Let’s eat.”
The person who sent them back? Was he talking about Sebastian? Did he come with Wright? Why didn’t he show himself just now? Was he afraid that Sophia would reject him?.
