"Okay, Mom!" Alice nodded and continued saying.
"I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the environment yet. I don't know what I should do and what you need me to do. Just let me know, and I'll definitely take care of it properly."
Rosalie's expression eased slightly as she nodded. "Alright, I'll leave it to you if there's anything."
"Okay." Alice had a smile on her face as usual.
However, Jensen, who was behind her, had already lost his patience. He said directly, "Mom, I thought that since you haven't cooked in a long time, you will be overwhelmed. If we hadn't come to help, it would seem like we're insensible!"
Rosalie certainly didn't like cooking much. In this house, Nelson did the cooking for the most part.
In the past, Rosalie had felt that not knowing how to cook was a blessing, but in front of Alice, she felt very ashamed. She didn't expect to be exposed by Jensen right in front of Alice by mentioning that she hadn't cooked in a long time.
Rosalie's face turned pale and she refuted coldly with some embarrassment, "How would you know that I haven't cooked in a long time? You've been away from home for so many years. Do you know how we've been living these past years? Yet you dare to say that. Aren't you too casual with your words?"
Her words carried thorns.
As soon as Rosalie spoke, her words carried thorns with them as she fired back.
Jensen naturally understood that she had become angry out of embarrassment.
Yes, that was definitely the case.
He smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately continued to bring up Rosalie's past, "Mom, no matter what, I lived in this house for 20 years before I moved out. I do still have some understanding of you."
"If you don't like cooking, then you don't. No one will hate you for it. Besides, Dad has never said he isn't willing to cook for you, and I don't have the right to say anything about you either."
"But since you're saying that I'm too casual with my words, I certainly do have things to say."
"I think it's normal for a family to talk casually, isn't it? Aren't you saying whatever you want too? Why is it that the moment I casually say something, you become all prickly? That can't be good, can it?"
"Not to mention that now I've moved back and I'm going to be living here every day. Whether you have cooked in a long time will be evident over the next two days. I'd like to see if you've suddenly changed your nature and you're going to start cooking daily. Or perhaps you're going to try and be a good mother."
"If you cook for me every day, then I should properly thank you, Mom, for completely making up for the loving meals that I haven't enjoyed for the past 20 years!"
As soon as these words were uttered,
Nelson's lips curved into a smile as he was cooking. It seemed that Jensen's words had hit the nail on the head.
Rosalie's expression was very awkward.
She was furious when Jensen deliberately say those words.
If she cooked every day, she might go crazy!
But if she didn't, she would end up being laughed at by him. Especially in front of Alice, she would be looked down upon.
So, Rosalie snorted. "Then you'd better watch and see if I can persist in cooking every day. But if I do that, your wife must help me and be my assistant every day!"
Rosalie was doing this on purpose.
Knowing that Jensen wanted to humiliate her, she wouldn't let him succeed. She had to get Alice involved and get her to stay in the kitchen every day.
However, Jensen smiled and replied, "Mom, you might not be too aware of it, but Alice is not a housewife. She will soon take over the Smith Group, as the head of the group no less. Therefore, she'll have to socialize a lot every day. Most of the time, she'll be working at the company. How would she have time to be your assistant in the kitchen?"
The word "housewife" deeply pierced Rosalie's heart again. The moment she got provoked, she would explode in a fit of rage. She didn't expect Jensen to hit her sore spot over and over again.
At this point, Rosalie's expression was extremely awkward.
She glanced at Jensen and then at Alice, and her eyes were full of displeasure.
