nThe corners of Old Madam Walton’s mouth twitched. She picked up another piece of black stuff and asked, “Then this is?”

nAlex: “Eggplant.”

nOld Madam Walton: “…” She didn’t understand how good food would become like this.

nGeorge picked up a piece of black eggplant and put it in his mouth. Against his will, he said, “It tastes good.”

nEric widened his eyes and muttered, “I have to leave more of such delicious eggplants for Dylan.”

nAndrew smiled. “It’s a pity that the rest of the family aren’t at home and missed out on such delicious eggplants. I hope Mr. Burton can make it for them personally next time.”

nAlex nodded. “Okay.”

nAmelia finished the bowl of steamed egg, and there was still a little bit of egg on the corner of her mouth. She smiled at Alex and gave him a thumbs up.

n“Delicious!”

nAlex’s lips curled up. It was said that daughters were considerate little darlings. These words did not seem to be lying. The next second, he saw Amelia pick up another piece of eggplant and put it in her mouth. Amelia thought that since even Eldest Uncle and Youngest Uncle said that eggplant was delicious, it must be super delicious.

nThe Walton family was shocked. “Miao, don’t eat…” Before they could finish speaking, Amelia spat out the eggplant. It tasted terrible!

nAmelia looked at the eggplant on the plate. Why was the eggplant so unpalatable? Why were Eldest Uncle, Grandpa, and Grandma eating so happily and praising it? She looked up at Alex pitifully. “Daddy, I’m sorry. This eggplant is too disgusting. I really can’t eat it.”

nAlex was speechless. It seemed like his little darling was not a little darling after all. Besides, was this eggplant that bad? Didn’t George and the rest eat it?

nAlex picked up the eggplant and took a bite. Then, he suddenly coughed. He tilted his head and spat out the eggplant. He grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down. He was silent for a moment before shaking his head at Amelia.

n“It’s okay. I can’t eat this eggplant either.”

nEveryone had smiles in their eyes, and Harper laughed out loud. The old master of the Walton family’s stern face gradually softened. He didn’t care how many points he gave Alex. As long as Mia liked him and acknowledged Alex, they would acknowledge him and his identity.

nKate had gone downstairs after arranging the flowers. She secretly peeped at the cafeteria. The entire Walton family was resplendent. They sat in the dining room, laughing and chatting happily. Kate’s eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of resentment. Why could they live so well? Why could they live happier than her?

nKate held the flower basket in her hand and clenched the scissors in her other hand. At this moment, Alex suddenly turned around, scaring Kate so much that her hand trembled and the scissors fell to the ground.

nHearing the commotion, the Walton family turned around.

nKate quickly picked up the scissors and apologized. “I’m sorry. I accidentally dropped the scissors.” With that, she ran away in a panic.

nAlex stared at Kate and frowned. “There’s something wrong with this landscaper.”

nOld Madam Walton frowned. She also felt that Kate’s behavior today was very strange. However, she had personally gone for an interview with this landscaper because her position was special. She had to take care of the entire garden of the manor and be in charge of changing the flowers in everyone’s room in the Walton family. This was just like how you had to find someone you trusted to clean your room.

nOld Madam Walton said, “Maybe Kate isn’t feeling well today, or something happened. I’ll talk to her later.”

nAlex didn’t say anything else.

nIn the blink of an eye, it was night time. Alex stayed in the guest room. He looked around the room. The interior design of the room was mature. There was only a bed, a gray bedside table, and a closet. There was also an armchair and a small coffee table. There were no unnecessary decorations, which suited his personality. It could be seen that this room had been specially decorated by the Walton family.

nAlex casually sat down on the sofa and turned on his cell phone. He clicked on Helena’s photo and looked at it silently. After a long time, he said in a low voice, “I’m sorry that I didn’t have the chance to get to know you.” He heard that before she died, the person she was most worried about was Mia. No matter what, he would take good care of Mia.

nAt night, Emma, who had finally finished her homework and was released by Dylan to eat, ate heartily. She no longer had the bad habit of being picky.

nAfter Emma finished eating, she threw the bowl into the dishwasher and ran upstairs while shouting, “Mia, Mia, come out and play!’
