Chapter 348 Her Cooking
Kayden was desperate to win Tilda’s forgiveness and get her back to the Jenson Villa. Then, his family could finally be together.
Wade was just as tense, his eyes glued to Timothy.
Santiago, on the other hand? He just slouched back, hands behind his head. He looked completely unbothered.
He could already guess what Tilda might say. It’d probably be something humiliating.
Only Kayden and Wade were stressing out about it.
“…She went into the kitchen and made something for you guys!”
Timothy placed a plate on the table and lifted the lid to reveal Flonche-style cabbage rolls.
Kayden’s eyes lit up. “Tilda made this for us?”
“That’s right. And it tastes incredible.”
Timothy actually looked a little freaked out as he said it.
It was like watching a cooking prodigy.
She was so young, yet the dish was full of creativity and bold flavors.
Every step was flawless, the timing perfect.
She’d made Timothy’s signature veggie dish. It was just as impressive as his Rainbow Jelly, which had taken him years to master.
Timothy felt lucky he’d started his career early.
If he’d had to compete with Tilda, he might’ve ended up second-best.
Timothy’s praises showed that this dish was truly outstanding.
Kayden couldn’t wait. “Let’s try it!”
He took it as a sign that Tilda was touched by their efforts, maybe even willing to make peace. Perhaps she even agreed to return to the Jensons.
Santiago snorted. “You’re gonna eat that? From Tilda? Watch out for poison!”
“If you’re not eating, then zip it!”
Kayden snapped, and Santiago instantly looked aggrieved.
“Relax, there’s no poison. I watched her cook the whole time. If you’re worried…”
Timothy cut a piece and popped it in his mouth.
“Oh yeah, that’s perfect!”
Even he was hooked.
He sneaked another bite. “See? Totally fine. No need to worry.”
As soon as the cabbage roll was cut, the aroma hit everyone and whetted their appetite.
Even Santiago, who didn’t want to eat at all, felt his mouth water.
Wait, why does this smell so good?
It even smelled better than Timothy’s signature dish.
How did she do that?
Knowing Tilda had made it just for them, Kayden and Wade grabbed their utensils, cut off a piece, and tasted it. Their hearts pounded with excitement.
The flavors exploded as soon as they chewed.
“Wow, this is insane! I can’t even describe it! The texture… Is this chicken breast?”
“And there’s buttery sautéed morel mushrooms, asparagus, and foie gras inside.”
Timothy added, “There’s also a creamy mousse made from chicken breast, butter, eggs, and fresh cream. That’s the magic of this dish.”
Before seeing Tilda make the dish, he’d never even thought of using a filling like that.
Steaming it all together, she’d made an amazing Flonche-style cabbage roll.
Kayden savored each bite. “Tilda’s cooking is actually amazing.”
Wade set his utensils down, keeping his eyes down to mask a flicker of sadness.
Tilda, as your brother, I barely know you at all.
What other talents do you have that we don’t know about?
What’s the meaning behind this dish?
Are you truly moved by us and thinking about forgiveness?
Wade knew that getting Tilda back felt like chasing a dream that was way out of reach.
Still, he couldn’t help but hope a little.
After all, she’d made them such an incredible dish.
Tilda, if you truly want to forgive us, even if you don’t come back…
Even if we end up as strangers…
At least don’t stay enemies like before, fighting until one of us gets hurt.
If that happened, and Tilda wouldn't make an enemy out of them, Wade would feel okay with it.
Santiago watched Kayden and Wade enjoying the food so much that his stomach started growling.
He tried to hide it by pretending to sip his water.
Damn, they look like they’re loving it. Could it truly be that good?
Regret started creeping in.
Man. I truly want a bite.
“Ms. Tilda also told me the name of this dish."
“She called it… ‘Get Lost.’”
