Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Serendipity

Felicia would naturally side with her own daughter, so she took a bite of Kesha’s dishes hurriedly.

“Not bad! Kesha, your cooking skills have improved once again!”

She then scooped up some mashed potatoes on Gordon’s plate. Even though he had forgotten many things, he would still have his meal in a timely manner. He had always been a picky eater because Eudora’s mother loved to cook. He would always complain whenever the dishes were not up to his standards.

He tasted the mashed potatoes that Felicia had scooped onto his plate. He nodded in approval, “It’s delicious!”

Felicia smiled, and her eyes were filled with delight, “Kesha, do you hear that? Your father complimented you!”

She was thrilled that her husband was praising her child.

Kesha, however, seemed unfazed. Nevertheless, Felicia’s and Gordon’s compliments seemed to have increased her confidence even more. She turned towards Eudora and Amos, “Why don’t you two try it as well?”

She then pushed the bowl of mashed potatoes forward, particularly towards Amos.

Eudora couldn’t be bothered to taste her dishes, but she wanted to gauge her opponent’s skills. She reached over to scoop some mashed potatoes from the bowl, only to be stopped by Amos.

“I’ll do it.”

Amos knew that Kesha was up to no good, so he tried to protect Eudora from harm’s way. Even though Kesha wouldn’t be so foolish as to poison the food, but it was better safe than sorry.

Everyone else on the table, apart from Juju and Gordon, understood what he meant. The atmosphere became awkward.

Kesha was silent as she watched Amos take a bite of the mashed potatoes.

“How is it?” Kesha looked at Amos, her face filled with anticipation.

Her target was mainly Amos, and everyone else on the table was just extras. Therefore, only his opinion mattered.

Amos swallowed the food slowly and lowered his gaze. He then commented, “It’s okay.”

Was that all? Kesha pursed her lips.

She had tasted the mashed potatoes herself just now, and it was no different from what the chef had taught her. Unwilling to give up, Kesha spoke again, “Mom, you should taste Eudora’s dishes too. She hasn’t done much cooking before, it must’ve taken her a great effort for her to make all these today.”

Kesha emphasized the fact that Eudora had seldom cooked in the past, but Amos did not seem to have any reaction to it.

Sensing that Kesha was acting strangely, Felicia tugged her arm, signaling her not to cause any trouble. However, Kesha was indignant. After all, she had worked hard these few days, hoping that Amos would finally notice her presence.

Felicia remained in her seat quietly while Gordon smiled at Juju, seemingly oblivious of the tension in the air.

Finally, Amos picked up a piece of Eudora’s pork ribs and tasted it.

He looked at Eudora and praised her with a smile, “It’s very delicious.”

Kesha knitted her brows, asking, “Although you two are a couple, we are competing right now. It’s not fair that you’re favoring her.”

Amos didn’t even look at her. Instead, he picked up another piece of pork ribs and ate it. Not only that, he picked a few pieces of them for both Juju and Eudora. His actions proved that it really was delicious.

Just as Kesha was about to speak, Gordon, who saw that Juju had started to eat, picked up a piece of pork ribs for himself too.

All of a sudden, tears streamed down from his eyes.

Kesha saw this as an opportunity to humiliate Eudora. She then said hurriedly, “Dad, is it really bad? Just spit it out. You don’t have to eat it.”

“Seriously, Eudora, just say so if you can’t cook. Look at Dad, he’s already so weak. How could you do such a thing to him?”

At this moment, Gordon pushed her away.

“It’s delicious. I want more.”

Kesha was stupefied. She picked up a spoonful of mashed potatoes and passed it to him hastily, saying, “Here you go, Dad…”

Gordon quickly brought his plate away, preventing her from placing the mashed potatoes onto his plate.

Then, he sliced a piece of the roast chicken that was made by Eudora and ate it.

“Delicious! It tastes exactly like how your mother used to make it.”

He was looking at Eudora when he said those words. Eudora’s eyes widened, “Dad? Do you recognize me?”

Kesha and Felicia were stunned. Wasn’t Gordon supposed to be suffering from dementia? He had mistaken Juju for Eudora all this while. Did he regain his memories after eating just two mouthfuls of the dish that was made by Eudora?

With a grin plastered on his face, he asked, “Eudora, what are you talking about? How could I not recognize you? Your mother liked to cook all these dishes for me back then, especially that roast chicken. It’s very delicious!”

Eudora was overjoyed knowing that Gordon’s memories had truly recovered.

“Since you like it, I’ll cook more for you again next time.”

Kesha glared at Eudora, her heart filled with resentment. Felicia’s expression slowly darkened. She thought that she would be able to control Gordon since he had become of unsound mind. Now that he had recovered, then his assets…

Felicia was troubled.

Gordon chatted with Eudora for a while after dinner. Felicia then pulled Kesha’s hand and dragged her upstairs.

“Why did your father remember everything all of a sudden? What should we do? Did you manage to find out about the things that I had asked you to investigate?”

Kesha scowled and answered, “It’s not that simple! We don’t own the bank. Everything depends on the law!”

“Isn’t Steven a member of the Grangers? Didn’t you say that he could help us?”

Kesha’s face darkened at the mention of Steven’s name.

“Steven? He’s no longer the President of Valiant East. I must have been blind to have taken a fancy on him. I’ve wasted half a year of my time.”

Felicia was taken aback. “Kesha, what do you mean?”

Kesha gritted her teeth and replied, “What else could it mean? I was only with him because I thought that I could depend on him. It was the complete opposite instead. Whenever something happens, I would be the one cleaning up after his mess. He’s completely unreliable, so what’s the point in asking him for help?”

Felicia stared at her, her mouth agape. She finally realized that Kesha was being unreasonably rude towards Eudora just now, and it did not reflect well on her especially since the exchange had happened in front of Gordon.

Could it be…

“Are you thinking about seducing Amos… No, Kesha, you can’t. Amos is already married to Eudora. You could see for yourself just how well he treats Eudora. It’s impossible for you to change his mind. You’ll only hurt yourself if you continue to do this!”

Kesha refused to listen to her mother’s advice.

“Mom, even you could see just how well Amos treats Eudora. Why does she get the best while I get the scraps? No, I’m not satisfied. This time, I must at least give it a try.”
