Chapter 70 - 70: Living in a muddle all these years
Sherry Woods looked at Yigol Novak in surprise: Can you really cook?
Last night, Yigol had mentioned that he would take care of Suri Drew at home, but mens words on such matters were not very reliable. Today, she saw Yigol naturally come to the parking lot, and it turned out he was going to buy groceries.
Yes, Ms., since youre here today, you can try my cooking. I dont mean to brag, but my dishes are much better than those in restaurants, Yigol said with full confidence.
While talking, he had already sat on his electromobile.
Riding the electromobile eliminates worries about traffic jams and is quite convenient.
This vehicle Sherry Woods couldnt believe her eyes.
This is mine. I like to ride it when traveling short distances. Its convenient, no need to wait for traffic lights and whatnot. Its especially handy for grocery shopping because finding parking for a car can be slow.
Did you use to deliver packages? Sherry Woods recalled what he said about his job last night.
Yes, thats why I suggested that you try mingling with crowds, Ms. When you get lost in the crowd, youll instantly feel insignificant, and your sadness will be smaller too. Otherwise, youll be constantly living in regret. Your past is already filled with regrets, and in a few years, youll regret your present too. If you cant handle it, you should go on a trip or something.
If youre willing, Ms, and if money is an issue, Ive got you covered. As long as you can find yourself again, I believe Suri would be happy to see it too.
As I told you before, I dont need money, nor am I very ambitious, but I dont want to stay at home all day either. Thats too dull, and people tend to overthink when theyre idle. So I started delivering packages, and its been two years.
Ms, if youre not used to riding the electromobile, you can wait here. Ill go back for Suris car key. Yigol said and was about to go back, but Sherry Woods stopped him.
She hesitated for a moment and said, Lets just use this one. It seems pretty nice.
Her family had been well-off, and she had never experienced riding an electromobile before. Yigols words gave her an urge to try it for the first time. She sat in the backseat of Yigols electromobile: Lets go.
Yigol laughed joyfully, and they set off. The two of them soon arrived at the market.
They bought a lot of things and went back home.
In the kitchen, Sherry Woods offered, Let me help you.
On the verge of calling her mom, Yigol changed his words quickly: No need, Im more comfortable doing it myself. You can sit down and watch TV for a while.
Are you afraid that I dont know how to cook? Dont underestimate me. I used to be very good at cooking. Otherwise, how could Suri have grown up so big? After her conversation with Yigol, Sherry Woodss mood had improved a lot.
Unexpectedly, shed lived for so many years in a daze, and it took one conversation with Yigol to make her feel refreshed.
Her troubles were zone, her dauzhter had found happiness, and now Sherrv Woods had only one wish: to see Yigol and Suri get married and give her a grandchild soon.
As for Yigols family situation, Sherry Woods didnt ask much or worry about it.
With Yigol being so outstanding, his parents must be reasonable too.
Ms, you really dont need to help me. If youre bored, you can just watch me from the sidelines. You can see if I can take care of Suri well, and that way, you can be assured when you marry her off to me, right? Yigol joked.
After their time spent shopping together, he realized that Sherry Woods was a very sensible person, so he started joking with her. Sherry Woods laughed heartily: Alright, then Ill just watch.
Yigol confidently and happily started cooking.
In Sherry Woodss imagination, it would be good enough if Yigol could cook well. She didnt expect his cooking skills to surprise her.
Yigols movement in the kitchen, his steps in cooking, and the aroma of his food all refreshed her perception of him.
This young man really wasnt lying. His flawless actions alone were enough to outshine most professional chefs, and his presentation of dishes was superb. She suddenly felt hungry.
This young man, no wonder he won her daughters heart he was so capable.
It seems that what he said was all true and accurate.
Yigol deliberately showed off his cooking skills in front of Sherry Woods.
Suri had only one mother, and while they didnt interact before, a mother is always the closest person in the world. Gaining his mother-in-laws approval added security to his and Suris happiness.
Sherry Woods asked in astonishment, Yigol, did you study cooking professionally?
Your actions in washing and cutting vegetables look very professional.
Yigol shook his head and replied, No, I didnt. Ive never studied cooking professionally, but I enjoy making dishes for myself. I can confidently say that there are not many chefs in the world who can cook better than me, even professionals.
She had heard this before while they were shopping for groceries and didnt pay much attention to it. Now it seems that Yigol was actually being modest in his words.
He then made several more dishes. The more she watched, the more amazed she became.
Many of the techniques Yigol showcased were unheard of for her, let alone seen before.
Before her husband betrayed her, Sherry Woods considered herself a qualified wife. She enjoyed experimenting in the kitchen, and her cooking could rival professional chefs.
However, compared to Yigol, it was clear that there was no contest.
She hadnt pursued the taste of food for more than a decade.
But now, seeing the dishes prepared by Yigol, she felt an unprecedented desire for food.
Just the sight of it was mouthwatering, and she wanted to taste it immediately.
As she looked at Yigol, she found him more and more pleasing to the eye. This son-in-law was truly flawless and perfect.
She decided that once her daughter woke up, she would make sure to talk to her, urging her to hold on to Yigol tightly. Otherwise, once such a good son-in-law was gone, theyd never find another like him.bender
After dinner, Sherry Woods was even more satisfied with Yigol.
His performance at the dinner table was exceptional, treating Suri as a treasure.
After dinner, she announced her wish to go home. Yigol and Suri accompanied her..
