Chapter 53 A Little Foodie
Ariane looked displeased and lost her appetite. She listlessly jabbed at the bun in front of her with fork, reducing a piece of bun to mere crumbs before setting her fork down heavily.
Frustrated, she took out her cell phone from her pocket. With no signal, she resorted to playing a solo game on her phone, deliberately turning the sound effects up loud in a bid to catch George’s attention However, George was engrossed in a discussion about rural education support with the volunteer
teachers, not sparing her a glance.
Meanwhile, Emma, who had taken Ariane’s original seat, was happily chatting and laughing with the villagers nearby. Her occasional comments had the
village women and children laughing heartily.
George, standing opposite her, glanced over. In his sparkling phoenix like eyes, he saw Emma, unbound by etiquette, stuffing chunky pieces of beef in her cheeks, savoring it with relish. Her radiance was evident in her eyes, and her face reflected a foodie’s joy.
George gently knocked his knuckles against his nose, letting out a soft chuckle. So, it wasn’t him who scared her, but rather his interruption of her meal,
which scared her away?
Indeed, she was quite the little foodie.
Meanwhile, back in Boston,
On Saturday, Luc took Lindsey to the villa in Quincy where Jane and Soraya lived
Luc, could you check how I look in this dress again?”
“Also, is my makeup suitable?”
Lindsey asked sweetly, hooking her arm into Luc’s after getting out of the car
There was a softness in Luc’s eyes, and he complimented affectionately, “Lindsey, you look good in anything!”
“Oh, brother, you know how to tease. You used to say that I looked good in anything, but now that Lindsey is back, you only have eyes for her. What about your cute little sister?”
Soraya, for reasons unknown, stood not too far away. She had made her way from the main entrance to the garden gate. As she watched her brother and Lindsey, their sweet and loving expressions seemingly deepening, she couldn’t bear to interrupt the two lovers who had b
been apart for five years.
“Little Soraya,” Lindsey called out happily, her face beaming with warmth and joy. She quickly closed the distance to Soraya, as if she had never left…
At hearing Lindsey call her so affectionately, Soraya quickly excused herself and scurried over, her voice sweet as she said, “Sister Lindsey, it’s been so long since we last met!”
Lindsey warmly replied, “Soraya, it’s been a while. You have grown even more beautiful.”
Soraya, familiar and comfortable, looped her arm
arm with Lindsey’s and began to lead her inside. Thank you. Lindsey! Both you and my brother better hurry
inside, Mom is waiting for you.”
Turning to Luc, she playfully scolded, “Luc, let me borrow Lindsey for a moment, I’ll return her to you later.”
The two women were strolling ahead, while Luc trailed behind with Lindsey’s gift. As he watched his sister laugh and chat with Lindsey, he couldn’t help but
contrast this with the disgusted expression his sister wore around Emma
-I wonder why could Emma not be as lovable as Lindsey
In the meantime, Jane was instructing the housekeeper to have the fruits washed thoroughly. The top–grade abalones, sea cucumbers, and shark’s fins which were shipped from overseas needed to be cooked properly so as not to lose their original taste, and the blood swiftlet’s soup had to avoid Overcooking Other dishes also needed to be kept fresh.
“Mom, Lindsey, and Luc are back
Hearing Soraya’s voice coming from the front door, Jane hurried over.
“Jane, hello!” Lindsey greeted with a smile, taking the Fedilian scarf she’d brought back from the US from Luc.
ust a small token of my appreciation!”
Jane didn’t directly accept the gift box from Lindsey. Instead, she held her hand warmly and said, “Ah, Lindsey, I had looked forward to your return. Come in come in, let me have a good look at you. There’s no need for these gifts.”
Only then did she casually take the gift box from Lindsey. Seeing the brand on the box, her eyes sparkled brilliantly Fadilian‘ was her favorite brand, only available overseas and not sold domestically. Luc had bought things of that brand for her during his stay abroad.
And the series that Lindsey sent, she saw it in a magazine, and it was a limited edition, with only ten available worldwide. This is generous!
Lindsey is indeed much better than the tailor’s daughter, no, she is too much better

Lindsey showed a gentle and elegant smile and kindly said: “Jane, we haven’t seen each other for five years. I always remember you as the elder. I wasn’t sure what you like So I asked Luc about it. He told me you like Feranti, so…
Jane laughed so hard that she couldn’t close her mouth. She pulled Lindsey to sit on the genuine leather sofa in the center of the hall, frowned at Luc, and said “Luc, you really should have helped Lindsey pick the gift. Instead, you let her buy this expensive one.”
Lindsey naturally took over the conversation, “Jane, don’t blame Luc, I was the one who insisted.”
“Mom, accept Lindsey’s good intentions,” Luc spoke at the right time. How could he not know the little thoughts in his mother’s heart?
Jane frowned at her son again, patted Lindsey’s hand, and smiled: “Okay, don’t let Lindsey overspend next time. You’re such a good, polite child. Even after five years, you’re still as beautiful as ever! No. You’re more beautiful now, with a mature and elegant beauty. No wonder my Luc.
She left the sentence unfinished, leaving room for people to imagine. That’s what she wanted to express
There was a ripple in Lindsey’s heart. What woman doesn’t like being praised for her beauty and youth?
And when she heard that Luc had been thinking about her all the time, she was even happier.
“Thank you, Jane Five years have passed, how could there be no changes? But Jane, you’re getting younger and younger. While time is said to defeat beauty, for Jane, it’s a case of beauty laughing at a time, forever youthful and beautifull”
Jane had a wide grin. Her smile was about to spread to her ears.
She then took the opportunity to shift the topic to Luc. She invited Lindsey for dinner, but it wasn’t just a simple meal, there was something else she intended. She first wanted to get a sense of Lindsey’s feelings. If she too, was hoping to marry Luc, then wait until Emma came back from the West. immediately proceed with the divorce, and then…..
As long as the divorce is processed, they can start planning for the wedding between Luc and Lindsey. This time they must make it grand and invite all the notable figures in Boston. She can’t let her son down.
Her excellent son getting married to Emma, was indeed a grievance for him.
Marrying a woman he doesn’t love, she can relate to that feeling. So, she didn’t make Luc hold a wedding, nor did they take wedding photos, they simply got a manage certificate. Initially, they planned to have a secret marriage, but Madam Taylor felt this wouldn’t be appropriate. If they were found to have secret marriages, they might be labeled as the Taylor family which is snobbish.
So later on everyone in the hospital knew that Luc was married, and his wife was Emma, who had pursued him for three years.
“Look Lindsey, your mouth, is still so likable. Luc, don’t you think so?”
