When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 304 Just for a Joke

"What treasure?" Amelie didn't think her father would have any other treasure aside from Bria and herself.

"You don't love me anymore, Grandpa," said Bria in jealousy. "You're looking for another treasure? When I'm right here? I'm mad now."

Steven quickly cheered his granddaughter up. "You and your mother are the only treasure I have. I mean, that Alston guy did give me a lot of good food and recipes just now. I was going to look for my spectacles and search for the stuff he gave us. Then, I'm going to buy everything and whip something up for you two."

Leo knew Steven well. If he didn't hate Leo, Steven would've taken the presents happily. He loved whipping up new food for his family every day.

Amelie was moved by the gesture, but she knew for a fact that her father wouldn't find anything. "The food is only provided to special people, and the recipes are a secret. You can't find it online."

"Is that so?" That's a shame. He scratched his head.

She hugged her father. "You're already a good enough cook, Dad. Bria and I still haven't gone through your whole culinary list yet. You don't have to learn anything else."

Bria knew her mother wanted Steven to relax a little, so she chimed in, "Yeah! I love meatballs, meat stew, and grilled salmon. And a lot more!"

Steven looked at her, smiling. "I'll whip your favorites up every day, then."

"But you can call Dada if you want to get those recipes." The girl was learning some slang lately. Instead of saying Daddy, she went for Dada. Perhaps she thought she could make her mother and grandfather get along with Leo by doing so.
