nAnna closed the call and without any notice, she fell down.
n
"Mom, what happens?
" Rena and Aiko were really worried about Anna's condition.
nThey know their mother was not a weak woman. Since their father's died, their mother has singlehandedly handle all of the family matter.
nEven though they can't say that everything works perfectly, it didn't alleviate the fact that their mother had tried their best for them.
n
"Mom, tell us. We are already adults now, we could help reduce some of your burdens.
"
nThe scene was really heartwarming, 2 filial daughters trying to reduce the burden of their single mother, but the reality wasn't as beautiful as fantasy.
nAnna told her 2 daughters that the phone call was from the manager of their last restaurant.
nThe manager told Anna that their head chef had resigned from the duty and most of the chefs had also followed him.
nThis situation was already bad for them, and to make it worse, their restaurant had a dinner appointment from an influential figure next Wednesday.
nAt first, this appointment was the best gift for them. They could use this appointment to promote their restaurant and regain their foothold back in the culinary business.
nThe 2 daughter's faces also despaired at the situation. They know how important this appointment was to their life.
nWhile the mother-daughter pair was still in their dejected mood, Ray came to Rena side and put his hand on Rena's shoulder.
n
"It's okay Rena, we could still handle this.
"
nRena turned at Ray with tears flowing from her beautiful eyes. She looks at Ray complicatedly, she was pretty happy that Ray was here for her, but on the other hand, this matter was really important and they didn't have any idea to solve this situation.
nDifferent from Rena, Aiko has a sneer on her face. She looks toward her sister's handsome classmate and started to sneer at him.
n
" What do you know about our family? This matter was important to us, you outsider didn't need to bother with this.
"
nAiko held her tears and continued, She seems to about throw all her dissatisfaction from the matter into Ray.
n
" You with your handsome face and happy-go-lucky lives would never understand the pain of our sisters. If you only wanted to get into my sister's pants, then I could answer you right now. My sister would never be with a happy-go-lucky stupid boy like you!!!
"
nThe word was a bit too much, but contrary to her expectation, Ray didn't even show any discontent to her. Instead, the look in his eyes was filled with pity and understanding.
nShe was a bit startled at Ray's demeanor. This feeling was a bit strange to her.
nSince her father's death, her life has been hell. Some people will look at her with pity, but most of them have some mockery in their eyes. The princess was now fallen into the slump, and they couldn't have a better time to mock the fallen princess.
nAiko glared at Ray full of frustration, she was ready for the second round of outrage, but Ray had interrupted her first.
n
"Well, it's no use to cry and quarrel right now. Wait a minute, I will give you the solution for this matter.
"
nRay ignored Aiko.
n
" Rena, could you show me the way to the kitchen?
" Ray softly said to Rena who was still blushing on his side.
nRena actually didn't really understand what Ray was intending, but she chooses to trust Ray and led him to the kitchen.
nThe two walked out of the room side by side, with Ray holding Rena's hand affectionately.
nThey soon reach the kitchen, where most of the furniture was missing, and only a simple stove and refrigerator were left.
nRay looks toward the refrigerator and found the ingredients he needed.
n
"Well, this should be enough. Please wait outside Rena, I'll give you a pleasant surprise.
" Ray winked at Rena.
nAfter making sure he was alone in the kitchen, Ray soon contacts Aina.
n'Aina, use the skill upgrade book on the elementary cooking skill.'
n DING!!! It is indicated that the host wanted to use the skill upgrade book to enhance the elementary cooking skill. Proceed? Y
/N
nWith the power of Aina, Ray felt the surge of cooking skill knowledge quickly gathered into his mind, If he could be a winner in masterch*f cooking competition before, now he felt that he could even won michlein stars just by making fried egg.
nHehehehe, smile surged in Ray's face. With this, he will be one step closer in resolving Rena's problem and getting the family in his harem.
n.
n DING!!! A new mission has issued to the host.
n Please resolve the worries of the Vermillions
n Rewards: 30 system points, 20 attributes points, Rena Vermillion affection 10,
nAiko Vermillion affection 15, Anna Vermillion affection 30.

nThe notification was just right on time. Ray didn't waste anymore time. He took the egg and rice from the refrigerator and put it into his side.
nHe proceed to heat the pan with oil while chopping shallot and garlic on the side.
nWith all ingredients being ready, Ray quickly piured the egg on the hot pan and rapidly followed by the other ingredients.
nJust a quick 5 minutes later, Ray came out of the kitchen with a tray on his hand.
nThe vermillions were looking at him confusedly, Ray antique was a bit too much for them.
nAnna and Aiko thought that Ray just want to cheer them, while Rena has a bit expectation on her heart.
nIn her mind, Ray would do nothing wasteful. And he must have an objective in this.
n
"Sorry for the wait, Here is your long awaited dish beautiful ladies.
" Ray said while smiling at the Vermillions.
nThe smile on Ray's face was too dazzling, with the 159 charm. It would be a lie if they said that their heart didn't skip a beat while watching him.
nWhile the three was still in a bit of daze, Ray elegantly opened the tray and golden light started to shine from the dish.
n' Hehe, I might not be a professional head chef before, but could their dish shine like mine?'
