Chapter 148
“So what if these dishes are made by Olivia?” Melanie asked naively.
Pressing his lips together, Nathan replied, “Her dishes are no different from poison.”
With a grave expression, Kate stared at Nathan and snarled, “Stop criticizing her dishes!”
Embarrassed, Nathan retorted, “You always criticize her cooking skill as well.”
“I can say that, but you can’t!” Kate said in an unreasonable manner.
Afraid that they might fall out and make Melanie feel embarrassed, Olivia quickly stopped them, saying, “Alright, I
admit that my cooking skill is horrible, otherwise I wouldn’t have sought Kate’s help. How dare you criticize my
cooking skill? You’re no better when it comes to cooking.”
With a smile, Nathan replied, “I can cook a little better.”
Melanie said smilingly, “It’s fine.” With that, she picked up a piece of fried eggplant made by Olivia and commented,
“It’s okay. I think it’s quite delicious. Your cooking skill is already much better than mine because I can’t cook
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanything.”
Upon finishing her words, she also picked up a piece of fried garlic rib.
Seeing that, Olivia fell into silence. Since she wants to put on a show, then go ahead.
Realizing that the rib was too hard to chew, Melanie put it back on the plate.
“Stop eating that. Let’s try this,” Nathan said as he peeled the skin of a fried shrimp for Melanie. “This should be
okay.”
Cocking her head, Melanie flashed a smile at him. “Thanks, Nate.”
Nathan replied lovingly, “Come on, try this.”
The moment Melanie put the shrimp into her mouth, she directly nodded and praised, “Oh, this is delicious. I envy
those who can cook well.”
Kate was forced to give a response and put on a smile, since Melanie’s words were directed at her.
Like a child, Melanie clung to Nathan’s arm and pouted her lips, saying, “Nate, I’m worried about our future. Both of
us can’t cook, so what are we going to eat?”
Nathan said lovingly, “Don’t worry, I will learn to cook. There’s no way I’ll make you starve.”
Staring at Nathan, Olivia’s expression turned dark. However, she couldn’t give him a reminder in public, so she said
implicitly, “Stop the public display of affection. Don’t you know that Kate and I are single?”
Covering her mouth, Melanie giggled. “Sorry, we’re used to it.”
“How long have you guys been together?” Olivia questioned.
Tilting her head, Melanie looked at Nathan and asked, “How long have we known each other?”
“I think it’s been half a month.”
Shooting him a coquettish look, Melanie looked at her wristwatch and announced, “We’ve been together for
thirteen days, three hours, twenty-three minutes, and fifty-seven seconds.”
Delighted, Nathan directly pulled her into his arms. “Wow, you do care about our relationship. You’ve even counted
it down to the seconds.”
Shrugging, Melanie gazed at Olivia and Kate across the table and said shyly, “Nate, stop it. There are other people
around.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNonchalant, Nathan replied, “They aren’t other people. They’re my best friends who are as important as you.”
Feeling a lump in her throat, Kate breathed deeply for a few times to cast away her unease.
“Olivia, are there wines in your house?”
Taking a look at Kate, Olivia knew that the latter was in a bad mood, so she quickly answered, “There are. I have
only one can of beer left, but there are white wines.”
Kate replied, “Alright.”
Rising from the chair, Olivia took out a bottle of white wine from the cabinet and poured it into four glasses.
Looking at Melanie, she asked, “Why don’t you drink beer?”
“Olivia, I really can’t drink alcohol one bit.”
With that, Melanie turned to Nathan and pouted her lips.
Understanding what she meant, Nathan replied, “Olivia, stop forcing her. I’ll drink it on her behalf.”
Hearing that, Olivia couldn’t help but take a deep breath and replied, “Alright.”
Gazing at Melanie, Kate said, “Actually, we all want to drink wine with you. Since you can’t drink it, Nathan will take
your place.”
