“Thanks man, you’re so generous.”
As soon as she said that, Yvonne saw the sip’s worth of broth in her cup, and the grin on her face faded.
She could not help but roll her eyes.
‘When he said he’ll pour me some, he did mean it, huh?”
Seeing her expression, the actor who played the police officer could not help but laugh out loud and then
said meaningfully, “Evie, he might have claimed that the broth comes from his family, but it might not be
from his mother.”
Yvonne immediately understood what he meant. “Pfft, I see. It’s no wonder he’s being so stingy…”
The last sentence was whispered.
After James finished drinking the soup, he frowned when he saw that the two were staring at him
strangely. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, everything’s fine. You enjoy your soup, Evie and I will stop bothering you.”
The actor and Yvonne exchanged gazes, and the two of them went back to doing what they were up to.
On the other side of town…
When Giselle returned to the apartment, Estelle came out of the kitchen and asked, “Have you delivered
the soup?”
“Yes.”Estelle was delighted. “James is working so hard in the Kong Ports, so you should bring him more food.
from time to time so that he’ll appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration.”
Giselle smiled. “Mom, you’re the one who made the broth and food, so aren’t those symbols of your
thoughtfulness and consideration?”
“If you knew how to cook, would I even need to be here?” Estelle felt extremely helpless and continued
to speak earnestly. “I know that it’s very hard to be dating an artist. After all, James is an actor, so you
absolutely can’t ignore the relationship between you two. You must carry out more intimate activities and
interact with each other as much as possible to build a close connection and relationship.
“People in the entertainment industry have very limited free time, so they rarely spend enough time with
their significant others. That’s how many celebrities get divorced after getting married-”
“Mom, you can move on with what you were doing in the kitchen before I came home already. I need to
go through some documents.” Giselle immediately interrupted her mother’s words and then went into her
room.
“Gigi, you…” Estelle was so angry that she felt a slight headache.
‘I’ve been doing my best to help her, but this imp just doesn’t appreciate my painstaking efforts.’
In the evening…
When James finished all the shooting for the day, he received a call from Estelle. And it was already 7:00
p.m. when he arrived at the apartment.
Estelle had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, all of which were his favorite dishes. “James, when
you came over to our place before this, I realized that you like Mexican food very much, so I’ve specially
cooked these dishes for you.”1/2
James gave off a polite smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Peterson.”
“You’re now part of the family, so there’s no need to act so politely around me.” As she spoke, Estelle
continued to fetch him more vegetables.
Seeing that Giselle only cared about eating her meal with her head bowed, Estelle gave her a slight
nudge with her foot under the table. “Don’t just sit there and eat.”
James stared at her too.
Giselle casually picked up a piece of braised beef ribs and left it on his plate. “You should eat more.”
Her actions seemed very insouciant, and Estelle was so exasperated that she was at a loss for words.
James thought of something, and a hint of slyness surged from the bottom of his eyes. “I want to eat
some chicken. Can you fetch me some?”
Giselle lifted her head, and just as she was about to say something, she felt an intense glare coming
from Estelle.
‘How could she treat her boyfriend so indifferently?’
Giselle picked up her fork, and when she was about to pick up a piece of chicken for him, she froze for a
split second. She then met James’s eyes, saw the smugness that was beaming from his eyes, and
instantly understood everything.
She immediately placed the fork into her mouth, licked it, and then used it to fetch him a piece of
chicken. Seeing the change in James’s expression, she smirked. “Do you want some more?”James chuckled out of anger and said, “You win.”
After dinner, Estelle specially asked Giselle to send James back in order to provide her daughter with
more opportunities.
While they were on the way, James sat in the front passenger seat with his arms folded. “Your mother
really treats me like her own son. If she were to find out that the relationship between us is nothing but a
facade, I wonder how infuriated she would be?”
