Just like today.
Ninian looked at the vegetable on Everettâs plate. She gulped and gave him the âgood luckâ glance.
âI would be willing to help with anything.
âBut Iâll give my dadâs cooking a pass.
âLetâs forget about our love for each other for a moment.â
Under everyoneâs strange gazes, Everett calmly picked up the food, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. There was no change in his expression at all.
He then smiled at Duke and said, âThank you, Mr. Winters. It tastes great.â
The Winters family members were dumbfounded.
Even Duke, who passed the food to him, shuddered as he held his spoon.
âTake more if you like it.â Alden took the serving spoon and scooped more for Everett. He then put down the spoon calmly.
When Harold saw this, he chipped in, âItâs all yours.â
As he said this, he pushed the whole dish to him.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Everett stayed quiet.
When Ninian noticed that her boyfriend was being bullied, she stood up, wanting to put the dish back in its original place. However, Everett grabbed her hand.
He said calmly, âThank you all for your hospitality.â
After that was said, he continued to eat it without any incident.
Everyone felt amazed and admired him.
Even Duke was stunned.
âHeâs probably the one and only formidable man in this world. Itâll be an honor if my silly little Ninian were to be with him.â
The Winters family seemed to have let out their anger after making Brooklyn drunk. Everett, on the other hand, gained their reverence and respect.
After everyone finished eating and left, Alden remained.
7 He picked up the spoon that was used to serve the dish that Everett had on the table. He frowned and tasted it.
âHowâs it? Did Dadâs cooking skills improve? Is that why Everett got an upper hand?â
Harold asked swiftly. George glanced over at them as well.
Alden was close to showing a disgusted expression, but he forced himself to stay calm.
He said calmly, âItâs pretty good. Do you want to try it?â
Harold instantly took a bite without hesitation.
His expression immediately changed, desperately searching for water.
George, who was initially interested to try, went quiet.
Alden could not help laughing. He coughed and laughed.
He praised him, âEverett is truly something else.â
âNone of us can bring ourselves to eat this at all, but Everett was able to finish the whole plate.
âHe really loves Grapie to the moon and back.â
Thus, Everett successfully won the Winters family over, and they accepted him as their little princessâ
boyfriend.
The family dinner was lively and harmonious.
Duke and Adina approved their sonâs girlfriends. As for their daughtersâ boyfriends, they passed the tests as well.
However, Duke was firm about one thing; they must get married one by one, from the eldest to the youngest.
One per year.
As the eldest, George did not object to the condition for obvious reasons. He was excited. He and Raina had been in love for so many years, and finally, they resolved the misunderstanding between them and were ready for marriage.
Harold was not happy with it for a while. However, after considering how young Lana was, who was still in her early twenties, and how the both of them were still young and impetuous, he thought it would be a good time for them to mature just a little more.
