Chapter 235 Truly Belong (1/2)

They gathered around the table to enjoy their dinner...the appetizing aroma of chili buttered shrimp, spicy beep stew with vegetable, sweet and sour pork, lemon black pepper chicken and creamy mushroom soup made everyone's eyes glowed in anticipation and their stomach growling in hunger.

They began putting food on their plates.

Silence fell over the table once they started eating, the only sound that can be heard was the spoon and pork scooping foods left and right, then they would cast glances at each other wearing a pleasant smile on their faces.

Thirty minutes later.

In the middle of the meal.

”Wow! This is the most delicious dinner I have eaten in my whole life! Nana Aida deserves an Oscar Award for her expertise in cooking!” Caden exclaimed in glee, he voiced out his gratitude to the woman who cooked the mouthwatering dishes that melted in his mouth and made a lasting impression in his stomach.

”Superb cooking! I'm impressed!” Grandpa Waldo seconded, he scanned his eyes on the food while glancing at Nana Aida admiring the woman's remarkable culinary skills.

Adam and Jessy realized that they were both lucky growing up to Nana Aida's awesome talent in cooking and also nurtured by her loving heart. ”Nana Aida is simply the best!” they sang their praises in unison.

Nana Aida smiled graciously at her guest, it's not all time that people would shower praises on her mediocre cooking skill 'coz the mansion rarely get visitors. ”Thank you so much guys for the praises, I'm overwhelmed and beyond elated!” she joked. ”Eat plenty, there's still more in the kitchen guys,” she said delighted by their admiration.

Caden grinned. ”Sure, the more the better!” he said shamelessly.

They roared in laughter.

The foods not only delicious and appetizing it made them devour everything that Nana put in the table, and made them stay for nearly two hours just enjoying the foods and making light conversations now and then, no one wanted to get up from the table.

Caden looked at Jessy. ”Can I also work here? I don't mind sweeping the dried leaves in the woods and also around the lake, as long I can go swimming and eat Nana Aida's cooking every day I'm set for life because there is only one thing I can describe this place it's—Paradise!” he blurted out.

Adam looked at Caden, smirking. ”Seriously bro—are you gonna leave me now?”

”Were breaking up bro and there is nothing you can do about it!” Caden grinned from ear to ear.

They all laughed by Caden's silly humor.

A moment later.

”Alright guys, let's do the cleanup!” Adam stood up. ”Jessy and Caden, we will wash the dishes and clean the table. I'm ordering Nana Aida and Grandpa Waldo to retire in the living room to get to know each other better. Guys, let's keep moving!” he said chuckling.

The seniors departed from the dining room, their eyes gleaming.

Caden stood up reluctantly. ”Guys, I still need to finish this creamy mushroom soup here, can I?” he said.

”Lol, just take your time, bro. Jessy and I will start washing up the dishes in the kitchen sink and you wipe the table after you're done eating,” Adam said.

Jessy looked at Caden. ”There's still more soup in the kitchen...” she said.

”Ah, no thanks, my stomach is already full! I will just finish this—it's a waste if we throw it away,” Caden explained.

Jessy went to the kitchen and brought back two trays with her, she and Adam began piling up the dirty dishes into the tray.

After sometime Caden stood up rubbing his stomach. ”Oh God! I'm so full! Guys let me do the washing and you do the wiping on the table, I need to shake the food out of my bulging tummy,” he said.

”Are you sure?” Adam asked.

”Yesss! Leave the washing of dishes to me!” Caden said.

”Okay,” the couple relented and they brought the tray to the kitchen sink.

While Caden was washing in the sink, Adam and Jessy wipe the countertop clean and the table in the dining room.

After Caden finished washing the plates and putting them in the dish cabinet they left the kitchen and joined the seniors in the living room.

”We will go to the lake later and make a bonfire,” Adam suggested. ”Nana Aida and Grandpa Waldo you should join us—just chilling and relaxing around the bonfire,” he suggested.
