Chapter 802 - 802: Catching a Big Fish
The Heiress Strikes Back
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under Sharonâs guidance, Zahn successfully caught a few energetic big fish. The fish in the harvesting garden were relatively large. It was no wonder Hazel was so tempted when she saw the big fish.
Wallace smiled as he watched Sharon help Zahn fish. He didnât expect Sharon to have so many skills that he didnât understand. This woman seemed to be very powerful, as if she knew everything and could do anything. But sometimes, she was like a little girl, blushing and shy when he said romantic words to her.
Sharon noticed Wallaceâs gaze and turned her head in embarrassment. They had been married for so many years, but it seemed like they had only really started dating now.
Hazel noticed the pink romantic bubbles between the two of them. She didnât quite understand. The two of them were already married, but they were still as reserved as people who had an ambiguous relationship.
âWhy is your fish so big?â Donald asked the staff curiously.
âThese fish were bought and thrown into the lake,â the staff member said honestly.
âThey spent money to buy it and put it in the lake. Why donât the people who spend money to come and fish just buy the fish then?â Xylia smiled and said.
âThe fun of fishing is fishing, not having the fish, â Georg said.
âThatâs true. Letâs take these big fish back. Iâll make braised fish for everyone tonight.â Xylia planned to show everyone her skills tonight.
While Zahn and the others were fishing, Michelle and Donald picked a pile of tomatoes and eggplants from the vegetable garden beside them. They also dug up a pile of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
During the day, they walked around the fruit garden for the entire day. When they returned at night, everyone was a little tired, but they had gained a lot today. Sharon and the others picked a lot of green vegetables in the picking garden and even caught a few big fish.
After returning to the apartment at night, Xylia cooked while the other girls helped. After almost two hours, the table was finally filled with dishes.
âWeâre in for a treat today,â Wallace said.
âQuick, try this braised fish. ItâS my wifeâs specialty,â Georg said proudly.
Xylia looked at her husbandâs proud expression and felt a little gratified. When she was young, she was also a famous actress in the entertainment industry. She gave up her career for her family and got married and had children at the peak of her popularity.
All these years, her husband and children had been her entire life. She had stayed at home to take care of her husband and raise her children. She had made good dishes and had gone from a career woman to a housewife. She had become a typical good wife and mother.
âWow, this fish looks appetizing,â Zahn praised.
âIt looks, smells, and tastes good. ItâS more delicious than the food I eat in many cafeterias, â Michelle praised.
âItâs even better than my house auntieâs cooking. If you apply for a nanny job, how many nannies will lose their jobs?â Hazel said happily. Her original intention was to joke and praise Xyliaâs cooking.
However, the words said by the person came across differently to the person who heard it. These words made Xylia feel very upset. She had not had her own career for so many years, and all her sense of accomplishment came from her husband and children. In the eyes of many people, a full-time housewife was equivalent to a full-time nanny. She gradually lost her confidence, and she was especially afraid that others would say that she was her husband and childâs nanny.
Sharon saw Xyliaâs injured expression and tried to smooth things over. âMeat dishes are especially difficult to make. When can I make them as delicious as Sister Xylia?s?â
âThatâs right. The few of us are to be green with envy of your cooking skills,â Michelle said with a smile.
âMy husband will definitely be green with envy. To have such a virtuous wife,â Hazel said with a smile as she looked at Zahn.
Zahn smiled and did not say anything.
Xylia had been a full-time housewife for a long time and had not had her own career and life for too long. She had seen Sharon and the others online. She felt that they were young and beautiful on stage and in front of the camera, just like her younger self.
âItâS not that exaggerated.â Xylia still smiled. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. âAll these years, Iâve been cooking three meals a day for my husband and son. After cooking more, Iâve naturally become proficient.â
âSister Xylia, youâre too humble,â Donald said.
Everyone chatted about their own matters as they ate. They shared about how they met their other half and couples with children mostly talked about their own children. Wallace listened to them talk about the joy and sorrow of having children and felt very envious. He felt that he and Sharon should consider this matter..
