Chapter 300
Mrs Sullivan entered the dining room excitedly. She was surprised to see there was only Brad in the room. She saw there were mushroom soup and waffles on the table.
“Where’re the chocolate croissants? Mrs. Sullivan asked. Then, she smiled and said. “I know. Olivia must be in the kitchen.
There was no hiding Mrs. Sullivan’s joy when she guessed that Olivia was busy in the kitchen. She walked to the kitchen with a smile.
She had just taken a step forward when Brad stopped her. I specially prepared breakfast for you today.”
Mrs. Sullivan was surprised.
She stopped before asking. “What about Olivia? Has Olivia made the croissants?” Brad frowned subtly and put on a gentle expression. I asked her to rest. I wanted to prepare breakfast for you myself today.
That means Olivia didn’t make anything this morning.” Mrs. Sullivan’s voice was a little cold.
She was disappointed.
She had been looking forward to the chocolate croissants Olivia promised. Her disappointment was beyond words.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sullivan could still conceal her disappointment. She tried her best not to look too disappointed.
However, she was visibly listless.
She forced a smile at Brad. You’re a considerate child.”
Brad had a relaxed expression as he explained patiently. “That is what I should do. In the past. I always wanted to cook for you, but I was worried that my culinary skills were not good.”
As he spoke, he scooped a bowl of mushroom soup and handed it to Mrs. Sullivan. “Please try it. It’s my first time making it. It might not taste good.” Mrs. Sullivan took the bowl and took a sip.
The soup remained in her mouth. She did not swallow it..
The taste was awful beyond words.
She forced herself to swallow it and smiled at Brad. “It’s delicious.”
Showed
Brad’s smile spread after hearing what Mrs. Sullivan said. He deliberately the burn on his right hand while serving the waffles. He had scalded it while making waffles.
As expected, Mrs. Sullivan exclaimed, “What happened?”

Brad retracted his right hand. He looked nonchalant. I’m fine. I just scalded myself”
A servant was standing behind him. He immediately spoke up as instructed by Brad earlier. “He scalded his hand while making the mushroom soup for you. turned into a big red patch. We asked him to rinse it with cold water first to prevent it from worsening. However, he insisted that the soup was more important.”
Mrs. Sullivan nodded awkwardly.
She did not know what to say.
Brad took a glance at her. He was satisfied to see Mrs. Sullivan’s stunned expression.
He was sure his gesture had touched her.
However, Mrs. Sullivan was in a dilemma.
Olivia had told her previously that Brad was immature and did not seem wise enough. She was angry to hear that and had spoken up for Brad.
Now that she heard that Brad refused to wash his injury after hurting himself while making the mushroom soup, she was not so sure anymore.
He did seem immature and unwise.
If the mushroom soup was delicious, the wound might have been worth it. However, the soup was almost inedible.
Mrs. Sullivan was deep in thought. She agreed with what Olivia said. Brad was unwise.
Mrs. Sullivan took a bite of the waffles. She did not have any expectations. It tasted worse than she had expected. She wanted to throw up.
Mrs. Sullivan had been pleased with anything Brad gave her in the past. She gladly accepted everything.
Recently, Olivia had gifted her various precious items that were way above the standard of what Brad had given her previously.
Mrs. Sullivan could not help but compare Olivia and Brad.
A comparison was brutal.
It
After barely finishing a small bowl of mushroom soup, Mrs. Sullivan could not force herself to eat anymore. She smiled awkwardly at Brad and said, “I can’t eat anymore, but the meal you prepared was delicious.”
“Really?” Brad was pleasantly surprised. “As long as you like it.”
Mrs. Sullivan said awkwardly, “Yes, I enjoyed it.”
Putting down the utensils, Mrs. Sullivan hurriedly went upstairs to look for Olivia.
“Olivia, Olivia.” Mrs. Sullivan was about to cry when she saw Olivia. “You’re right. Brad is indeed clumsy and immature.”
Olivia stepped forward and held Mrs Sullivan’s hand. She helped the latter at down. He’s sincere.”
Upon hearing that Brad was sincere, tears flashed in Mr Sullivan’s Pyrs. He is indeed very filial
Olivia lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.
Olivia had never blatantly insultedd Bead by Tom of Mrs. Sullivan. Even if she did say he was immature and unwise, she met it as naive and clumsy
She had carefully chosen her choice of words. Mrs. Sullivan would know what she implied, yet she would not be angry at Olivia,
Olivia knew well that Mrs. Sullivan treasured her kinship with Brad, even if she was displeased with him now.
Their kinship of more than thirty years was authentic:
Olivia could not be too hasty in sowing discord. It would not be good if she left
traces.
She had to take things slowly.
One at a time.
Brad was still in the dining room. He looked at the bowl of mushroom soup that was half empty. He frowned.
How could there be so much left?
Could it be that she did not like it?
Mrs. Sullivan had always finished the dishes Olivia made. Not only that, she would also ask Olivia to make more.
Why did she not finish the bowl of mushroom soup that he made?
Could it be that Olivia’s cooking was delicious and irresistible?
Brad shook his head and felt that it was impossible. Even if Olivia was very talented, her cooking could not be better than Chef Waynes’s..
Chef Waynes was a top chef. Even if it were Chef Waynes who made the meals, Mrs. Sullivan would always eat moderately. It was impossible that Olivia cooked much better.
Mr. Brown stood at the side and watched coldly.
He had been around all this time. He saw the changes that had happened these few days.
He saw how Mrs. Sullivan adored Ms.Taylor now. She had initially been unhappy with Ms Taylor. However, they were now inseparable.
It had only been a week.
It was unbelievablel
Mr. Brown felt that it was something unachievable. It was incomprehensible. After
all, Mrs. Sullivan and Brad had lived together for more than thirty years. Ms. Taylor had only accompanied Mrs. Sullivan for a few days.
Feeling uneasy, Mr. Brown returned to his room. He called Daniel.
He told Daniel how Mrs. Sullivan wanted to show Olivia the ropes.
Daniel had been reading a book. He was leaning against the sofa. His collar was loose. He was in a comfortable and relaxed position.
When he heard what Mr. Brown said, he immediately sat up straight. He asked anxiously, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? How is it now? Did my mother make things difficult for Olivia?”
Mr. Brown hesitated. He was in a dilemma. He did not know how to reply to Daniel.
Mrs. Sullivan did not make things difficult for Ms. Taylor at all. Instead, it was Olivia who had manipulated Mrs. Sullivan.
Mrs. Sullivan even despised Brad now. The person she had doted on for more. than thirty years.
However, Mrs. Sullivan only had eyes for Ms. Taylor now.
Daniel could not get any information out of Mr. Brown. Daniel hung up and called Olivia. When the call went through, he immediately asked, “Olivia, are you alright?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Olivia was reading in her room. When she picked up the call, she subconsciously chuckled. “Daniel.”
Upon hearing Olivia’s chuckle, Daniel felt relieved. Then, he tightened his grip on the phone. His big hand was holding it tightly.
Olivia must have suffered a lot. She chuckled so that he would not worry. He was sure she wanted to reassure him.
Daniel’s heart ached. “Olivia, has it been hard on you these days?”
Olivia’s hand that was holding the book paused in the air.
It had not been hard on her at all.
However, she thought it would be good to show her soft side to Daniel.
Olivia softened her tone. “Yes, a little. However, it doesn’t matter.”
Hearing what Olivia said, Daniel felt worse. He was upset that Olivia had suffered.
Olivia was such a softie. She must have suffered grievances in the Taylor family. His mother must have been picky.
Daniel decided that he would go back.
Daniel was supposed to head elsewhere. However, he decided that he would return home first.
