Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

âThe corn you used is fruit corn?â Adrian Zhekova took a bite and asked.
âYeah, fruit corn is slightly sweet and juicy.â Cindy Clarke also took a bite,
âMorgan doesnât like eating regular sticky corn, says itâs too hard to chew.â
âWhen I eat it, there are some crunchy grains and a bit of tanginess.â Adrian continued to savor the taste.
Cindy laughed, âI added crushed water chestnuts and pickles. The crispiness of the water chestnuts can balance out the solid filling, making it more layered in texture. And the pickles are naturally used to cut through the richness.â
Adrian looked at the filling, indeed, besides the yellow of the corn, there were some fine green bits. However, those green specks were as small as the tip of a needle, scattered amidst the meat filling, almost unnoticeable if not looked carefully.
âBy the way, I will be back from my business trip this Wednesday.â Adrian said.
Cindy thought to herself, why is he telling me when heâll be back from the trip?
Then she heard Adrian say, âIf anything happens during this time, just reach out directly to me and Iâll have someone solve it for you. Even though I wonât be in Belfard, it wonât influence anything.â
Cindy didnât expect that even while on a business trip, Adrian would still consider her.
âOkay.â Cindy nodded in agreement, her voice slightly hoarse, as if something was lodged in her throat.
Morgan had yet to wake up when Adrian left.
Cindy then suggested, âHow about I wake up Morgan, so he can say goodbye to you?â
âNo need, itâs not like I wonât be back, itâs just a four-day business trip, let him sleep.â Adrian laughed.
He left his luggage in the car, only to let Cindy accompany him downstairs this time.
Adrian didnât refuse this time.
Next to the car, Adrian stopped, lowered his head to look at Cindy, âDonât miss me too much in these four days.â
Cindy: ââ¦â
Who would miss him!
âOf course, if you miss me, you can send me a message on Whatsapp, anytime is fine.â Adrian added.
Cindy didnât know how to answer him, just said, âI hope your trip goes smoothly.â
Cindy watched Adrian leave, then went back to the house.
It suddenly dawned on her.
No wonder what Adrian had said earlier sounded so familiar.
Now she remembered, Morgan had said nearly the same thing to Adrian before when they were in Pingla.
Cindy couldnât help but laugh.
With such a narcissistic manner, they really were father and son.
The days without Adrian seemed to be ticking slower.
Cindy researched her cuisine during the day and edited videos at night.
Every day she would receive a message from Adrian on Whatsapp.
But the timing of each message was unpredictable, each time with only some fragmented sentences.
It was clear that Adrian was really busy outside.
Probably these fragmented sentences were squeezed out in his tight schedule.
Finally, on Wednesday, Cindy managed to finish the dumpling video she had shot last time.
Not only did it need to be edited, but it also required subtitles, music, and lots of operations.
After finishing the video, Cindy hadnât had time to upload it yet and planned to wait until the audition results were out. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cindy yawned, shut down the computer, andprepared to go to bed.
But just as she was about to get into bed, she heard the ringtone of the Walkie-talkie coming through.
Who could it be at this late hour?
Cindy walked doubtfully to the door, switched on the light, then turned on the intercommunication video.
Once she saw who was in the screen, Cindy couldnât help but gasp.
Adrian Zhekova!
