“It’s too cold, so we’ll just stay at home.” Genevieve didn’t like to be photographed by the media with thic kids.

Genevieve recalled how the kids suffered from food poisoning after eating her cooking some time ago. Flashing a sheepish smile, she said, “I’m going to pan-fry some steak today. Medium rare steaks are edible, right? I can do it!”
Lucian peeled the garlic silently.
Soon, the delicious smell of steak wafted around the kitchen.

Seemingly understanding her dilemma, Lucian added, “You can choose not to answer me if you want. Mandy and I want to be with you forever, so we respect your decision. This time, I discovered that we have a rich uncle. It doesn’t matter if I don’t have a father.”
Genevieve was both amused and touched to hear her son’s words.
She crouched down and kissed his forehead. Grinning, she said, “Your reward is to help me squeeze three glasses of orange juice.”
Lucian was speechless, “Mommy, is this a reward or punishment? Why do I have to work?”
“Is there a problem with that?”

When the steaks were ready, Genevieve plated them nicely and brought them to the living room. “These are the steaks I prepared. Try a bite, Sweeties!”
Amanda tried to cut the steak into pieces but to no avail. “Mommy, I can’t cut the steak.”
“Huh? That’s impossible.” Genevieve thought Amanda was too weak to cut the steak, but when she tried to cut the steak herself, she realized it was indeed too hard.
Thus, she cut her portion into pieces and gave the plate to Amanda.
Amanda immediately took a bite of the stcak. She chewed it several times and stopped abruptly as her eyes widened.
“Delicious, right?” Genevieve asked cheerfully.
Amanda didn’t want to humiliate her mother, so she swallowed the steak in her mouth. Her face scrunched up as she urged, “Momny, take a bite yoursell.”
