"William, how many times did Mama tell you to stop bothering your teachers?"
Suddenly, Lisa's voice sounded quite loud from inside the small kitchen. Not long after saying that, she turned around and put down a few plates of her cooking. Immediately, every corner of Vira's apartment was filled with the delicious smell of Lisa's cooking.
"Auntie, anyway.." William whispered while glaring at Vira.
"What's wrong? What are you trying to do..." Vira replied in a whisper.
If someone saw the two of them, they would definitely think that Vira and the boy were conspiring, about to do something harmful. Especially if they saw the look on William's face now. The boy looked absolutely like his life would end at that very instant.
"Come on, hurry up you guys!" Lisa wiped the sweat off her temples with her sleeves, "Let's have dinner before the dishes get cold."
"Hurray!!" William shouted. The boy immediately got off the sofa and ran to his mother.
Oscar closed the magazine he hadn't read before and followed William from behind. He didn't have time to notice the admiring gaze that was watching him from behind. His eyes were too busy observing the various types of dishes that filled the mini bar.
If asked about her type before, Vira would definitely answer a man who is warm and likes children. But ever since she saw Oscar in person, her type of man changed drastically. She now likes a man who has a mixture of foreign blood, a president, smart with children, and has a strong back as well as broad shoulders. Also, sensual lips.
Her type is definitely a man like Oscar.
On the mini bar that feels cramped with 4 people sitting around, Lisa's cooking looks so luxurious. The various kinds of vegetables and meats that gave off a delicious aroma were able to make it difficult for the other three to swallow their saliva.
After placing a plate of white rice in front of them, Lisa just sat next to Vira. Earlier after work, she did feel tired. Even now, her feeling of tiredness is getting worse after she finished cooking the various dishes. But seeing William's face that looked so cheerful made her tiredness disappear without a trace.
Same thing with Vira. Every time Lisa glanced and looked at her, a feeling of warmth and relief enveloped her body. Every time Vira put one spoon after another into her lips, the woman would not stop humming happily.
"I swear, your cooking tastes really good!" Vira took one of the dishes that Lisa made, "I bet if I finish this, I will cry because Sis Lisa's cooking is delicious!"
"Better than the taste of your cooking, huh?" Lisa teased while raising and lowering her eyebrows.
Hearing that immediately made Vira turn around quickly. "Yes! Rather than my mischief that failed miserably yesterday, this is way better!"
The taste of the dish that failed miserably was still neatly stored in Vira's brain. Now, remembering that embarrassing moment when her mouth was filled with the delicious taste of Lisa's cooking, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself. She was overly confident that she thought she could cook for Lisa.
Suddenly, a crisp laugh escaped Lisa's lips. The woman looked at Oscar who was sitting across from her with a mocking look.
"Don't worry, you've got a pal for bad cooking here, even much worse than yours!"
At first, Oscar was not interested in listening to their conversation. The taste of Lisa's cooking made him feel like finally coming home after a rough day. But when he heard the last words that came out of the woman's lips, Oscar immediately felt his face turn red.
If he had known the ending would be like this, that he would get secretly ridiculed in front of his son and the woman he just met today, he would not have dinner with them!
Oscar looked up and gave Lisa an eye that seemed to be telling her to stop joking around.
Right at the same time Oscar saw Lisa, Vira was looking up and wanting to get her drinking glass. In that instant, she immediately knew what Lisa's words meant for Oscar. Knowing that the man's dishes might be worse than her cooking made Vira feel relieved.
At least, God is fair enough with the humans He created. Oscar was handsome enough that God made the man unable to cook. Vira couldn't imagine if Oscar, who was already handsome, not to mention having abundant wealth, could cook like a chef in a five-star hotel.
Lisa ignored Oscar's gaze and preferred to put a few pieces of meat onto William's plate. She deliberately cut the meat small enough so William wouldn't choke.
"Eat a lot, honey," said Lisa warmly. She propped her chin and saw William's cheeks puffed up because his mouth was full of food. "Eat a lot so you can grow up healthily!"
That's Oscar's only weakness. Every time he heard or saw Lisa's attitude towards his son, his heart felt like it could stop at any moment.
Weak. Oscar was a weak man for his ex-wife.
When Lisa looked up, she saw Oscar, who had been watching her since earlier. The woman misunderstood and assumed that Oscar was jealous of her attitude towards their child.
"What are you looking at?" Lisa grumbled incoherently.
Instead of having the man jealous, it was better for her to treat Oscar the same way. That made Lisa raise her hand and put some meat on her ex-husband's plate.
"Here, you also eat a lot."
Seeing his plate full of Lisa's cooking because she brought him another side dish made Oscar smile widely. Even though there was still a lot of meat on his plate that he took himself earlier, Oscar still ate what Lisa gave him first.
Then, after that incident, the ex-husband and wife had a kind of fierce fight. After Lisa put the side dish on Oscar's plate, the man did the same to Lisa's plate. Gradually, their plates became full and Vira could only look at them in disbelief.
Vira swallowed her saliva. "...Hello, ah excuse, but please share the food fairly.. It just so happens that William and I are still hungry."
