Chapter 1931


    Everyone suddenly remembered that Arabe had been bustling around in the kitchen. Given its vast


    size and each person engrossed with their own culinary creations, hoping to impress Arabe, they had


    no clue what she had whipped up for them.


    The dish presented at the table was a particrly rare and expensive lobster,rger than life, its price


    tag dwarfing that of other well-known varieties. Originally, the chef had been tasked with preparing this


    lobster, but Arabe had spotted it earlier in the afternoon and volunteered to take over.


    She transformed it into a dish of exquisite beauty, so tantalizing it instantly whetted everyone''s appetite.


    "Whoa, sis, you can cook lobster???" rk was utterly astounded, hastily pulling out his phone to snap


    a flurry of photos.


    "Sis, is there anything in this world you can''t do?"


    Before David could finish his thought, he felt a sharp pinch from Mom on his arm and a stealthy stomp


    from Dad under the table, all while receiving a barrage of warning res from around the table.


    Confused and in pain, David wondered what he had said wrong.


    "It''s okay." Arabe just smiled calmly, "Why don''t you all give it a try?"


    With that, everyone eagerly reached for their forks, chuckling and chatting.


    "If Be made it, it''s got to be delicious."


    "This is definitely chef-level work."


    The chef, overhearing their praises, immediately concurred, "Even a chef with three to five years of


    experience might not handle a lobster this perfectly, this delicately. Ms. Arabe Collins''s culinary skills


    are truly humbling."


    "To hear that from Daniel..." Grandma Belinda said with a beaming smile, "means it''s truly high praise.


    Be, your cooking is definitely top-notch."


    David was still puzzled about what he had done wrong until he caught rk''s eye. rk discreetly sent


    him a text message.


    "The only thing sis couldn''t do was save Grannie Grace. Let''s not bring that up again."


    David''s mind buzzed with realization; he had inadvertently rubbed salt into his sister''s wounds. But his


    sister didn''t me him. Seeing that he hadn''t started eating, she even got up to ce a sulent piece


    of lobster onto his te.


    "Try it, David."


    Her face remained serene and sweet, just as gentle and endearing as ever.


    David was overwhelmed with guilt, cursing his thoughtless chatter. He resolved never to mention it


    again.


    "Oh, by the way, you boys, why didn''t you bring your girlfriends over for dinner tonight?" Grandma


    Belinda suddenly asked.


    Earlier, Louisa had suggested the boys visit their girlfriends'' families first to show respect, and then


    bring them over to join the festive dinner.


    "Myrna''s family went up to the mountains for a memorial service. They''ll have dinner at the ancestral


    home. It''s a long trip, and I didn''t want her to have to travel back and forth," Chasel exined first.


    "I also agreed with Carol that we''d keep it simple for dinner, and I''ll visit her ceter," rk added.


    Hans nodded in agreement, "Same for me."

    The attention then turned to the two bachelors of the group.


    David, who had been enjoying his meal heartily, looked up as the elder''s gazes settled on him. After


    swallowing his bite, he said, "Sean is ahead of me in line. Nudge him first!"


    He couldn''t resist adding, "And Sean, when are you going to bring Ophelia home for dinner? Oh, wait, I


    should ask, when are you going to win Ophelia over?"
