Chapter 579

In the course of the conversation, I deliberately showed my burnt fingers.

Mikaela glanced over and sneered, “You shouldn’t pretend in front of me; you should go pretend in front of Reynaldo.”

“I didn’t pretend, either. I showed you my burnt fingers just to get your sympathy and approval.”

Actually, I didn’t need to please you so much. It’s just that you are Reynaldo’s mother, so I have a little more respect and liking for you.

Reynaldo told me not to care about your opinion of me, but I couldn’t do it. You are my mother-in-law; as a daughter-in-law, I naturally hope you accept and like me.

I knew that just a breakfast wouldn’t change your opinion of me.

It’s okay; if I can’t do it today, I’ll come back tomorrow. If I can’t do it tomorrow, I’ll come back the day after tomorrow.

“As long as I persist, I believe you will definitely like it.”

Mikaela sneered, “You are really confident.”

I laughed and said, “It’s not that I am confident, but I feel that you are a good person and won’t really make things difficult for me.”

“Cut it out, stop flattering me like this; I’m not buying it.” Mikaela gave me a disdainful look.

I smiled and placed the remaining breakfast in front of her again.

“Mom, hurry up and eat while it’s hot. I don’t know what you like to eat, so I made a few extra dishes.”

“The taste may not be as good as outside, so you can only make do with it, Mom.”

“Humph!”

Mikaela snorted coldly, but instead of throwing the breakfast on the ground like before, she reluctantly ate it with a grim expression.

She ate while complaining, “The taste is really not good. I really don’t know how you can be proud of this breakfast.”

I chuckled and said, “The first time doing it; I will improve next time.”

Although Mikaela looked disgusted, she still ate all the breakfast items I brought, bite by bite.

I now understand that Reynaldo’s arrogant attitude is inherited from someone—inheriting his mother’s genes.

At that moment, Kimberly suddenly arrived.

“Mikaela, I brought you something I made myself…”

The words that followed were swallowed hard by her when she saw Mikaela eating the breakfast I had brought.

A shadow flickered quickly in her eyes, just for a moment, and then she returned to her usual obedient and pitiful appearance.

I furrowed my brows; Kimberly’s demeanor seemed to be getting darker.

Chapter 579

“Oh, Kimberly is here; come over quickly.”

As soon as Mikaela saw her, she smiled and waved at her.

Kimberly walked over with a look of innocence on her face, full of confusion. “Mikaela, did Ms. Duffy buy you this breakfast?”

Before Mikaela could speak, she said, “I know Ms. Duffy is also very kind-hearted, and she came early to bring you breakfast. It’s just that the breakfast sold outside may not be clean. I’m afraid you might get a stomachache.”

Mikaela looked at me with a complex expression, as if she didn’t know what to say.

I smiled and said to Kimberly, “It’s my honor that Ms. Palmer thinks I bought this breakfast outside; it proves that my cooking skills are not bad.”

Kimberly furrowed her brow and chuckled, “Ms. Duffy, are you trying to say that you made this breakfast yourself?”

“You, a young lady who has never touched the spring water with her ten fingers, don’t pretend here.”

I showed my burned fingers and casually said, “Although I am a lady who does not do any work, I am willing to endure any hardship for my mother-in-law.”
