Chapter 397

“It must be Olivia.” Joshua was extremely happy. He repeatedly instructed in the kitchen, asking the chef to make a few of Olivia’s favorite dishes.

After that, he personally went to the door to welcome them.

However, he was stunned for a moment when he met Gillian halfway. Then, he remembered that Jarron and Gillian were also the Smith family members. Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood.

Joshua was very disappointed, but a wise person like him would not show his disappointment. He greeted Jarron and Gillian directly and said warmly, “Why are you two children here?”

Gillian smiled gently. “Mr. Phil, we’re here to visit you.” As she spoke, she turned around and introduced Zelen, who was standing beside her. “This is Zelen, she has helped us a lot.”

“Alright, welcome to my house.” Joshua smiled at Zelen and did not say anything more.

The group of them entered the house. Joshua made coffee for them while Gillian was observing seriously beside him. “Mr. Phil, your coffee–making skills are incredible. I’ve had a lot of coffee, and yours is the best I’ve ever tasted.” “Really?” Joshua enjoyed getting along with the younger ones very much. A few words from Gillian made him laugh.

Gillian dragged Jarron over. “By the way, Mr. Phil, I have good news for Jarron is now the head of the Smith family.”

You “The head of the Smith family?” Joshua’s hand that was holding the coffee cup paused. He was very surprised. “Isn’t it Olivia?”

Upon hearing this, Gillian’s heart suddenly tightened. She turned to look at Jarron and smiled awkwardly. “It’s like this. Let me explain to you. the Smith family has a rule that if the family members are dissatisfied with their head during the grand banquet at the end of the year, they can vote for a new family head.” Joshua understood and nodded. “So, Olivia can’t gain favor from them?” Gillian curled her lips and explained, “Olivia actually didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that she’s too cold and doesn’t think about her family members. In comparison, Jarron wins the hearts of the family members.”

“Oh.” The smile on Joshua’s face faded a little as if he didn’t want to continue the topic.

“Let’s stop talking about this,” he said. “You the younger ones can handle your own matters. I won’t meddle with this. Let’s not discuss this.”

“Alright.” Gillian quickly changed the topic with a smile. “Mr. Phil, I brought someone along with us. You can have a guess.”

() vouders “Is there a need to guess? It must be a chef.” Joshua was confident.

Gillian pretended to sigh. “I really can’t hide anything from you. The chef we’ve invited this time is Mr.

Grayson Hunt. He might not be that famous, but he cooks steak exceptionally well. It is so delicious and you should definitely have a try. “That’s great. Joshua was overjoyed. “I happen to have a batch of fresh rosemary here. You can use it during cooking.”

Grayson went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for cooking. Gillian and Jarron discussed food with Joshua in the living room. At this moment, the and hosts were all happy and the atmosphere was very warm.

guests Zelen sat at the side. Although she didn’t know much about food and couldn’t say much, her expression was extremely satisfied.

She didn’t expect Joshua to have such a good relationship with Gillian and Jarron. It seemed that they had made the right choice to visit him this time.

It was time for lunch, and the dishes were ready. The group walked into the dining room.

Joshua sat at the dining table and tried the dishes. His eyes lit up. “Yes, it’s delicious.”

Needless to say, the steak was well–marinated and had a unique texture.

Not only was Grayson good at cooking steak, but he also did well for the side dishes. Joshua praised him repeatedly. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the food.

At the dining table, Gillian and Jarron looked at each other. Their previously tense hearts were completely relieved.

In the middle of the lunch, Joshua was called out.

Zelen approached Gillian and whispered, “You can tell him more about the Grant family. Don’t forget to introduce it to Mr. Phil.”

“Alright.” Gillian immediately agreed and nodded. However, she was a little. uneasy. “Isn’t it too sudden? It will make Mr. Phil unhappy. Why don’t I mention Isaac more to get closer to Mr. Phil first?”

“Sure.” Zelen agreed.

After Joshua returned, he ate a few more side dishes. If the butler beside him. hadn’t reminded him that he couldn’t eat anymore, he would have eaten some more.

“It’s delicious. All of them are so delicious.” Joshua was really surprised. He asked Gillian, “Where did you find this chef?”

Gillian pursed her lips and smiled. “We knew that you like delicious food, so we specially asked around.”

“That’s very thoughtful of you.” Joshua nodded.

Gillian licked her lips and started a topic about Isaac. “Back then, Grandpa also 45 .

liked to eat steaks. Every festive season, our family would gather together and prepare the meal.”

“It’s lively.” Joshua sighed and then suddenly remembered something. He said, “When you mentioned family, it reminded me of Olivia. She shouldn’t miss out on such delicious steak.”

As he spoke, he picked up his phone excitedly and dialed Olivia’s number. “Olivia, come to my house and have steak. There’s an outstanding chef here. All the dishes. are very well–made.”

Olivia had just finished her lunch and was taking a walk outside. She knew that Joshua was a gourmet, and if he praised the dishes as delicious, they must be quite. unique.

She hurriedly said, “That’s great. Joshua, maybe you can give me the contact of the chef and I’ll try his dishes next time I visit.”

“That won’t do!” Joshua frowned. “The steak is really nice. You shouldn’t wait any longer.”

“Then what should I do?” Olivia was helpless. “I don’t have time recently so I can’t go back to Layfield.

What a pity.”

Joshua also felt that it was a pity that she couldn’t eat such a good steak.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Joshua thought of a good idea. “I have it. I’ll get the chef to go to Evervale and ask him to cook for you.”

“Really, Joshua, you really dote on me too much,” Olivia said coquettishly.

“This is nothing.” Joshua continued, “In addition to this good chef who made steak, there’s another pastry chef and I’ll ask him to go too. By the way, don’t you like seafood? The salmon delivered by Gillian this time is extremely good. It’s. fresh. I’ll bring them all to you.”

very Gillian, Jarron, and Zelen sat at the dining table. They watched helplessly as Joshua mentioned sending the chef and the ingredients they had brought over to Olivia.

They went to visit Joshua with all their might, considering every aspect carefully. Apart from the chef, they didn’t bring any other valuable gifts, but they brought some seafood ingredients, hoping to get closer to him.

In the end, after they had tried their best to please Joshua, Joshua turned to Olivia and gave them to her.

For a moment, Gillian’s feelings were extremely complicated.

After Joshua finished talking about food over the phone, he started to act pitifully. “Olivia, tell me, why haven’t you come to see me for so long? I’m an old man who stays at home all day. It’s so boring.”

Olivia sat on a bench in the garden, smiling mischievously. “This is easy. Joshua, you can come to see me. Just come with the chef and others. It’s like if the mountain doesn’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain.”

“You talk so cloquently, Olivia.” Joshua chuckled. “Alright, I can’t argue with you. Let’s go with that. I’ll get ready, and in a couple of days, I’ll come to see you.” After hanging up the phone, Joshua turned to Gillian and the other two. He saw that the three of them had put down their forks and were all shocked.

Joshua was puzzled. “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you eating?”
