Chapter 72: Feeding
Chapter 72: Feeding
Oliver suddenly frowned and asked suspiciously. Oops. This person… can he not be so smart? Elaine was stunned, and immediately said with a laughter, “Of course I know! Isn’t this just testing you? Guess what delicious food I made for you?”
Elaine was smiling but secretly sweating. Oh my God, she didn’t know what was made too! It definitely cannot be exposed!
Oliver’s eyes were bright again, rolled his eyes, and smiled while guessing, “Fish soup? Or chicken soup? Or is it sea cucumber soup?”
Elaine said straightforwardly, “No way it’s sea cumber soup! Her family is also impoverished, how could she afford to buy sea cucumbers for you? The possibility is zero.”
“Her family? Whose family?”
Oh! Elaine almost bit off her own tongue. Cold sweat was dripping.
“Haha, it’s my sister. I always speak that way, saying, my family is my sister’s family, because, haha, my father is bias to my sister. I always complain that that family isn’t my family but theirs. Haha, it’s a habit and it just smoothly came out.”
Oliver was relieved and said, “You’re such a poor thing, you look pretty good, and quite cute, why isn’t your father fonder of you? Don’t be afraid, it’s enough that I like you. If it doesn’t work out, you can move to my house. If they don’t care about you, I will! I will get the chefs to cook delicious food for you every day.”
Elaine was smiling outwardly but was sweating cold sweat secretly. Oh God, if she had to face this Master Young like this every day, she felt that she would suddenly die of cardiac arrest!
“Hahaha, let’s not talk, come on, it’s time to eat. Are you starving? You did not have breakfast at all?” Elaine hurriedly opened the thermos flask and looked down, almost swallowing her saliva.
Wow, it was small fragrant wontons! She liked wontons the best! Pure lean meat with a little coriander sauce was preferred! She absolutely loved it. Damn guy, he had such luck to get to eat something delicious. Sally actually made him chicken wonton soup. Jealous… She wanted to eat too.
She forgot everything when she got excited, and said, “Oh, it’s actually chicken wonton soup.”
Actually… Of all words to use, she used ‘actually.’ Luckily, Oliver was obsessed with her face and didn’t notice what she had just said, but it had also frightened her into a cold sweat. One day, she would die because of her loose mouth.
“Look, what a pretty wonton! How is it, smell it, the taste must be good too? Here, stretch over your nose over and smell it.” Elaine coaxed Oliver like she persuaded her sister. Ellie would lose her temper at times and wouldn’t eat out of spite, and her father wasn’t at home, and couldn’t look after the kids. Hence, Elaine became half the parent, being angry to the point her hair stood up, and on the other hand, she would have to prepare the meal and coaxed Ellie to eat. So, at times, Ellie would call Elaine, her aunt.
Oliver was stunned. How long has it been that he had enjoyed such sincere and pure care? Just like that, gently coaxing him to eat, like… a mother’s warmth. Oliver looked at Elaine’s face in a daze. His earliest memory was when he was in the first grade of elementary school, getting out of the car. He would see his mother’s anticipating figure. He could also plunge into his mother’s embrace.
And then… This kind of warmth disappeared so quickly. His mother was diagnosed with seasonal depression, she was either crying all day or was clamoring to commit suicide. If not, she would be slightly better and indulged in mahjong.
When he ate, it was a group of servants accompanying him, and they would place delicious food on a plate and pass it to him. Sometime, he would not eat out of spite, but no one would stop him. The servants wouldn’t dare to tell him to eat more. He would starve and cry in the garden for a long time. All he wanted was a little attention from his mother, was it too excessive?
When he thought of that, Oliver’s eyes became hot, and his eyes were slightly red.
But Elaine, that woodblock, wouldn’t bother noticing other people’s emotions and feelings. She was still drooling and trying to attract Oliver, praising, “Wow, it smells so good! Fragrant and delicious wontons!!! It’s handmade without any additives… Here, here, try one! Quickly try it, it must be delicious!”
Oliver couldn’t help laughing, and said jokingly, “Elaine, you can be a peddler or be a waitress.”
Elaine glared at Oliver and yelled, “Do you want to eat or not? You only know how to give me random positions. Even I want to be, I don’t want to be a waitress. A waitress is the most pitiable, there’s no words to describe how cruel it is! Sending plates after plates, you can only see but not eat. For me, I want to be the chef! When every dish is done, I’ll use a spatula and eat a piece first. Woah, that’s what you call ‘eating the world’s food without spending a penny’!”
“Hahaha… Good! You have ideas! I think you can start fighting toward your goal!” Oliver was amused by Elaine that he shaking forward and backward with laughter. It turns out that a good woman wasn’t how much passion she brings to you in bed. Instead, she could keep you in a warm and cozy atmosphere.
“It’s made by you?” Oliver squinted at Elaine.
Elaine groaned in her heart, but smiled on her face, “Yes, yes, I made it myself. It took me more than an hour! Sigh, it’s troublesome to request for leave just to make it for you. I even had my salary deducted for leaving early. A lot of money was wasted just to cook a meal for you.”
Oliver was very moved and couldn’t help said, “My wallet is over there, and you’re in charge of my money. You can take how much you want. You can fill in the missing amount. How can I make my girlfriend spend money, I can’t bear it!”
Elaine’s face slumped. Couldn’t this bastard forget about the girlfriend thing? Damn it… Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t want your money, I’m happy to do so. Because I know Master Young is the bigger person and has always been kind and benevolent. You wouldn’t put the head injury incident to heart, right?”
“Hahaha, so you were waiting for this.” Oliver smiled and pointed at Elaine, “Now, now, didn’t I tell you before, that matter is over, I won’t hold the both of you accountable.”
“Really? You’re so kind! Yeah!” Elaine cheered, and her eyes were shining. “Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Quickly eat. You have to quickly eat these wontons. It won’t taste nice after it is soaked for too long and when it’s cold.
Hey, don’t think that these wontons are cheap, let me tell you, this kind of local flour is the most nourishing ones. Don’t think that eating steak or pizza is good enough. That’s dining for the emotional appeal. Instead, this wonton is to eat for health. You’re sick now, you should eat something easy to digest. Come, try how it tastes.”
Elaine was long-winded as if she was trying to influence her sister, Ellie. Oliver listened with a warm heart. Elaine filled a bowl and handed it to Oliver. Oliver raised his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and said, “Feed me.”
What...Elaine was dumbfounded. Please, he wasn’t two or three-years-old, he was in his twenties! He actually… wanted someone to feed him? Cold sweat plus goosebumps.
“Your hands are fine, right? You can eat it by yourself.” Some people were willing to be disabled.
Oliver took it for granted, “Oh, didn’t you see it? I have a drip needle in my hand, if I were to move carelessly, and that needle slips or moved, it is dangerous! And, you should feed me… Your man is sick, the wife should feed him.”
Elaine whispered, “Humph, who is your wife, shameless!”
Oliver smiled wickedly and blew breath into Elaine’s face and said, “Of course, I don’t mind if you feed me with your mouth.”
Elaine almost vomited out. Sigh, forget it, she shouldn’t be lower herself to the same level as a lunatic. If that’s what he wants, she would just feed him. Eat, eat, eat more, and make your stomach bloated! Humph!
Elaine took a spoonful and handed it to Oliver. Couldn’t help but advise, “Hey, eat carefully, it still seems a little hot.”
Then, habitually leaned in, rounded her lips, and blew towards the wontons. Her fragrance also blew towards Oliver’s face, and he felt that time could stop at this moment. Oliver squinted his eyes happily and opened his mouth to eat a wonton.
Oliver’s eyes widened, and his chewing stop suddenly!
“What’s wrong? Does it taste bad?” Elaine realized Oliver’s abnormality and asked.
Oliver frowned his eyebrows as if using a lot of energy. He swallowed that bite of wonton, smiled with difficulties at Elaine, and said, “No, it’s not bad, just that it’s a bit hot.”
“Oh, that’s okay, eat slowly if it’s hot.”
Oliver glanced at the wontons, and his expression stiffened. He looked like he was looking at poison instead of wontons.
Elaine secretly swallowed her saliva while actively feeding Oliver. She kept smiling like she was looking at her own child. The expression was very peaceful and sweet.
Oliver was utterly mesmerized by her expression, swallowed a wonton in one bite. He really swallowed it without chewing. After finishing a bowl, Oliver couldn’t eat anymore, waved his hands, “I’m full, I’m not eating anymore.”
“Huh? Eating so little? Didn’t you not eat breakfast at all? You’re so tall, yet you only eat this much? Your appetite isn’t bigger than mine! Eat a little bit more? Okay?”
The more enthusiastic Elaine was, the paler Oliver’s face became. He waved his hands in horror and said hurriedly.
