Reborn Before The Divorce

With that in mind, she smiled and spoke up, “Although I own a restaurant, to be honest, I’m not very good at cooking. Your family’s chef must make delicious food. I remember Nydia has a picky taste, and regular dishes may not suit her palate.”

“Well, she does have a picky mouth and isn’t easy to please,” Jesse nodded.

Nydia was quite surprised. She didn’t expect Jesse to respond like this. What was he up to today?

This sentence had a completely different effect on different people’s ears.

Barclay: He’s showing off his love?

Willette: He’s being disdainful of Nydia!

“My mouth is picky, but I can cook myself,” Nydia thought she still had to act like she was at odds with Jesse in front of Willette.

“Yes, you can cook, but… don’t forget that you made a customer sick with your cooking before and our restaurant had to compensate them a lot of money,” Willette said with a smile, seemingly without any reproachful intent. “Other people cook for money, but if you cook, it’s a matter of life and death.”

“Snap!” Nydia slammed her chopsticks on the table and looked at Willette with an unfriendly expression.

“Sis, how could you say that? When that customer got sick, I asked for a thorough investigation, but you just compensated them to avoid trouble. Who knows if he intentionally framed me?”

Before Willette could speak, Nydia continued, “If you don’t stand by my side, it’s fine, but you’ve been teasing me about this incident. Don’t you regard me as your little sister?”

Willette was speechless.

She felt that something was off again! The feeling from before had returned, and Nydia had left her at a loss for words again. On top of that, Barclay was now looking at her reproachfully.

Just as she was fuming, Jesse spoke up, “If you’re wrong, you’re wrong. Don’t try to defend yourself. If you really harm someone with your cooking, it’s more than just compensating them.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Jesse, how could you say that?” Nydia asked indignantly, staring at Jesse with a look of grievance.

However, she only received Jesse’s cold gaze, ignoring her anger.

“Mr. Pascall, thank you for speaking up for me. However, this matter cannot be blamed on Nydia. It’s my fault for not explaining it clearly to her. I only wanted to protect her from harm at the time, but I didn’t expect her to misunderstand,” Jesse said.

Willette looked at Jesse with a soft gaze, as if there were deep feelings in her eyes.

Barclay: as if I’m unnecessary!

“Brother-in-law, do you also think it’s my fault?” Barclay was suddenly asked, feeling superfluous.

He looked at Willette and Jesse, then gave a gentle smile to Nydia. “I remember Nydia used to cook very well. At that time, the guest couldn’t tell if he got sick from the restaurant’s food or if he was already unwell, or maybe he was trying to cause trouble.”

“But Willette also had to consider the whole restaurant, so she had to inconvenience you.”

Then he looked at Willette again with a slightly reproachful look. “Willette, you shouldn’t have brought it up again.”

“I just said it casually, is it necessary to make a fuss?” Willette was very annoyed, perhaps because she felt supported by Jesse, so she vented her anger.

“Don’t argue, don’t fight because of me, I’m sorry, let’s not talk about it anymore.” Nydia apologized immediately.

Willette widened her eyes in surprise, looking at Nydia as if she were a stranger. This was not the Nydia she knew. How could Nydia have such a scheming side?

“Mr. Pascall, sorry for making you laugh.” Barclay raised his glass and said to Jesse.

Jesse’s lips curled slightly. “It’s quite funny.”
