Chapter 62
Vito chuckled at Matthew’s words and said with a disapproving look,” I’m just telling the truth, sir. You’re too picky. There are so many things you don’t eat.”
Matthew’s face turned red. Lucy was surprised as it was rare to see Matthew be so intimate with others,
Meanwhile, the chefs making tea and pastries overheard Vito’s words and nodded immediately. “He’s right. There are a lot of things Mr.
Leon doesn’t eat.
“Every time we make something that doesn’t suit his taste, he won’t eat it, and all our efforts go to waste.”
The three of them complained all together.
Upon hearing that, Lucy looked at Matthew disapprovingly. “Matthew, you should accept other people’s kindness graciously. You can’t just waste food like that.”
Matthew felt wronged. “But I don’t like it…”
Lucy put her hands on her waist and said, “You have to eat it even if you don’t like it. It’s not just about appreciating what others have done for you, but it’s also important to take care of your health by having a balanced meal.”
Matthew nodded reluctantly.
The three chefs looked at the couple bickering with an affectionatel look in their eyes. Lucy regained her composure after telling Matthew off and asked him, “I still don’t know the chefs‘ names. Matt, why don’t you introduce them to me?”
“The one making the soup is Mr. Vito Romano; the one baking the
cake is Mr. Fredo Ricci; and the one brewing tea is Mr. Carlo Russo. All of them have watched me grow up,” Matthew reluctantly introduced them to his wife.
Lucy realized that they were all elders, so she quickly greeted them, ” Nice to meet you, Mr. Vito, Mr, Fredo, and Mr. Carlo.”
The three chefs waved their hands and smiled. “No, no, no, Mrs. Leon. You don’t have to be so polite. It’s our job to serve Mr. Leon.”
Lucy blushed when they called her Mrs. Leon. The three chefs who watched Matthew grow up were very pleased with Lucy.
They started to warm up to her even more and continuously offered her delicious food.
Lucy was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the three chefs. She kept trying a little bit of this and a little bit of that. She eventually let out a small burp from being so stuffed, so she stopped them.
“Chefs, that’s enough. I’ve just eaten not long ago, so I can’t eat that much right now.”
She pinched her waist, noticing the weight she had gained since moving to Matthew’s place. “I’ve eaten so much that I’ve gained a lot of weight recently.”
She said that softly, but all the chefs heard it. They turned to look at her and disagreed, “How can a young lady like you call yourself fat?
“You have a very nice figure, so please don’t follow diet trends and try to lose weight like other women. It’s very bad for your health.”
Only when Lucy nodded did the three chefs let her go.
Matthew immediately pulled Lucy out of the kitchen. He needed to get his wife out of there before the three chefs started nagging again.
Lucy was tired of their nagging too, so she followed Matthew to his
bedroom. When they both finally escaped the clutches of the chefs, they sighed in relief and smiled at each other.
Then, they started talking behind the chefs‘ backs.
