This atmosphere is not quite right.
Gabriel frowned and peeked, and over there Enrico was about to speak when Paige took the cutting board for the meat and threw a whole piece of tenderloin on it.
“Bang!”
Paige chopped down with a knife.
Now the meat was flying everywhere.
“…”
Enrico pinched a piece of meat that had flown onto his shoulder, looked at it for a moment, and wondered if this woman was really here to comfort him.
…
Paige followed an online recipe and made four dishes and a soup, and they looked pretty good.
“Wow,”
Gabriel said, his eyes lighting up at the improvement. He quickly climbed onto a chair and knelt down, picked up the chopsticks, and said, “Daddy, eat, Mommy, eat!”
Enrico sat down opposite Paige. Paige was in a good mood after letting off steam while chopping vegetables, and said, “Let’s eat.”
“I want a piece of meat,”
Gabriel picked up the chopsticks, used them with some difficulty, and barely managed to pick up a piece of stir-fried pork and put it in his mouth. Before he could be proud of himself for using chopsticks, the salty taste that rushed into his mouth made his tears spin.
It was so salty.
Gabriel wanted to vomit.
Paige stared at him and asked, “How is it? Is it delicious?”
Gabriel looked at her calm face, her mind full of the scene of her just chopping the knife, and forced the piece of meat to go down his throat. “It’s delicious.”
His tears were getting more and more watery.
“Why are your eyes wet?” Paige looked at him with some surprise.
“Mommy’s cooking skills have improved, and it’s so delicious, I’m such a happy child,” Gabriel gave her a big smile.
Paige was amused and her depression was swept away a lot. She picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, “Then eat more.”
“…”
Gabriel’s tears of emotion grew even more. “Mommy, aren’t you going to give Daddy some?”
Paige remembered her task and picked up a small bowl, filled it with winter melon and pork rib soup, and placed it in front of Enrico. ‘Have some soup. I skimmed off the foam, so it’s very light and not greasy.”
Enrico sat there staring at her and said coldly, ‘Who are you trying to impress with your mood swings?”
“It’s just a trivial matter, and my emotions will pass.”
Paige naturally would not dwell on such trivial matters.
“Why are there so many problems here?”
Enrico said unhappily, holding up the small bowl with his long, slender hands, and taking a spoonful of soup with one hand, he sipped it slowly.
“It really is a trivial matter.”
Paige didn’t want to mention it again, and turned her head to look at Gabriel, who was stirring the meat slices in the bowl. She said, “In fact, you shouldn’t push Gabriel too hard. Not everyone is born good at learning, and if you’re not good at learning, it doesn’t mean you can’t live. Just do it step by step.”
“…”
She’s not happy about it having to do with Gabriel?
A glimmer of melancholy passed through Enrico’s eyes, but he didn’t ask any more questions and continued to drink from his bowl.
Gabriel sat there on his knees, watching Enrico drink without moving a muscle, and couldn’t help but look at the bowl of soup. It seemed that the soup was normal.
“Mommy, I want some soup too!” Gabriel held up his small hand.
“Okay,” Paige smiled at him and ladled up a small bowl of soup and handed it to Gabriel.
Gabriel cheerfully took it and picked up the spoon to eat. After one bite, his whole face bulged and his eyes almost fought together.
Oh no, is the salt in the house free?
Why is this so salty too.
A tear rolled down Gabriel’s eye.
Paige looked over, and Gabriel quickly wiped away the tear, swallowed it, and desperately scraped the white rice into his mouth, taking several bites before lifting his little face and smiling, “Mommy’s cooking is really delicious.”
Paige was very happy to be coaxed. Her son was so good. What’s wrong with not liking to study?
“It’s delicious, why are you only eating rice, eat more vegetables.”
Paige then served him some vegetables.
“…”
Gabriel was so happy that his eyes were red.
With trembling hands, he scooped up another spoonful of soup, silently looking at Enrico, who was eating with great composure. Did his father eat so salty that it didn’t matter?
Paige reached for the stir-fried pork with peppers on her chopsticks, but Enrico placed the dish and plate in front of himself, then ordered a bowl of winter melon soup and two other dishes, leaving only a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of Paige. He said in a cold and indifferent voice, “Are you going to coax me or am I going to coax you? This dish is for me, so you can have the one with vegetables.”
“…”
Paige looked at him speechlessly, “In my current position, should I go to the door and eat it from the bowl?”
“I’ll show mercy and you don’t have to go.”
Enrico drank his soup expressionlessly.
“…”
Forget it, let him pretend for a couple more days.
Paige picked up a chopstickful of scrambled eggs and put it in her mouth. It was a little too sweet, but it was barely acceptable.
Gabriel’s eyes rolled around, looking at Paige and then Enrico, before he carefully picked up a piece of the scrambled egg and ran his tongue over it.
It was sweet!
It wasn’t salty!
It was edible!
Gabriel’s eyes widened, and he looked at Enrico, who was still calmly eating his soup, with sudden understanding.
He had learned something.
Gabriel had a newfound admiration for his father, and Enrico was very kind to him. He flipped a piece of meat over his hand and offered it to him, saying, “Little dwarf, eat more, so you can grow tall.”
“Good father, drink more soup.”
Gabriel straightened up and used his own little spoon to ladle soup for Enrico.
What a picture of a loving father and son.
Paige watched and felt that there was really no need for her to be provoked by irrelevant people. Her life couldn’t be better right now.
After lunch, Paige sat on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and peeled an apple while watching the news.
Over at The Capital, Rafael and the others obviously felt that the time was right, and chose this moment to reveal the secret of Wind Island’s formation. Watching the media’s reaction, she knew how sensational the news would be.
It was so sensational that it had even overshadowed the Ferris Wheel virus.
“We can see that the public is very emotional. They are smashing up one of the shopping malls owned by the He family. The police are maintaining public security. We hereby appeal to everyone to act rationally. The law will not let those lawless plutocrats get away with it.”
“This can be described as a major upheaval of the entire plutocratic class in Country A. Looking back, we now know why Paige was sentenced to death in the first place. She didn’t do anything, but she was sentenced to death.”
“The Presidential Palace has just issued a public announcement that the collective trial of the chaebols will not affect the domestic livelihood of the people. Please be assured.”
Every TV station is talking about this, and the news is non-stop.
Paige peeled an apple and handed it to Enrico, who raised both feet and half-lay on the sofa, his dark eyes fixed on the TV screen.
He naturally took the apple and took a bite without looking at her much, completely unlike before, when he would hug her no matter where they sat.
Paige was a little uncomfortable. She peeled another apple and was about to hand it to Gabriel when she saw the little guy climb onto the kitchen counter and hold a water glass as he drank, drinking very quickly and taking one glass after another.
“Are you very thirsty?” Paige looked at him strangely.
