Chapter 57
Ethan said, “Daddy, Elias said when he was living with the Lambert family, you would put him to sleep every night and tell him things about your childhood.
“You would even feed him dinner. Can you do that to me today?”
Roderick replied, “It’s not just the Lambert family. It’s your family. Daddy is totally yours tonight, all right?”
Melanie thought the three of them were planning to play a trick on her again.
She got up and stormed out of the study.
Melanie said, “Mr. Lambert, it’s getting late. You should go back!”
“Melanie,” Roderick glanced at Ethan and Elias and smiled, “I’ll leave very soon!”
When Melanie was about to ask him to leave, she saw Gary walking upstairs.
Gary called, “Mela. It’s time for dinner!”
Hearing this, Melanie raised her eyebrow and looked at Roderick.
Melanie said, “Did you hear that? Mr. Lambert, we’re going to have dinner. Please leave now!”
Hearing this, Gary looked embarrassed.
Gary said, “Mela, the cook who made the dinner tonight is from Prime Eats and Mr. Lambert invited him here.”
Melanie said, “Prime…” As soon as Melanie opened her mouth, she closed it again.
Prime Eats was more than a century old in Beloris. For hundreds of years, there had been only one Prime Eats in Beloris and it never opened any branches.
Most people couldn’t know how delicious its food was because they didn’t even get to taste it!
But everyone knew that there was a hard rule in Prime Eats.
That was, whoever wanted to eat there must make a reservation one week earlier or he wouldn’t even be able to enter the restaurant.
In Beloris, even a nobleman had to make an appointment three days in advance if he wanted to go to Prime Eats for dinner.
As for inviting Prime Eats‘ chef to cook at home, no one even dared to think about it!
Actually, Melanie had lived in Beloris for eighteen years but had never gone to Prime Eats.
She didn’t expect that one day she would taste its food without going out!
She thought the Lambert family was really powerful and well–connected!
But Melanie still thought Roderick was imprudent. After all, she didn’t ask him to invite Prime Eats‘ chef here. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
However, It was the first time that Enzo ever came to Zerivia. Melanie thought he deserved to be treated well by her.
She planned to get rid of Roderick and go out for dinner with Enzo. Unexpectedly, Roderick accidentally did the right thing.
Besides, looking at Roderick, Elias, and Ethan, Melanie held back what she was about to say.
She thought she had to allow Roderick to stay for dinner today.
After all, the cook was hired by him.
Melanie glared at Roderick. “Well, then prepare a fork and knife for Mr. Lambert!”
Roderick smiled at Melanie, “Thank you, Mela!”
Melanie felt like an electric current hit her and made her heart tremble.
She thought, ‘It’s better if he doesn’t smile. At least, he looks cold and aloof. People will find him displeasing.
‘But when he smiles, his smile is deadly attractive. I can’t resist it!‘
As a beauty and an artist, Melanie loved pretty things, especially pretty faces.
Melanie thought that Roderick had smiled a little bit too much recently. Even Angie and Enzo had put in a good word for him!

She complained inwardly, ‘How could Roderick use his pretty face as his tool? It’s ridiculous…
As Melanie thought about Roderick’s smile, she lowered her head to hide her red- face and walked downstairs quickly.
Melanie snorted in her mind, ‘Prime Eats‘ chef! It’s worth a try!‘
Enzo had long left the study and witnessed the fiery confrontation between Melanie and Roderick.
Looking at Melanie’s back, Enzo nodded silently.
Enzo finally understood that Melanie was easier to lose her temper because Roderick spoiled her.
Enzo murmured, “Interesting! That’s very interesting!”
He looked at Roderick with more appreciation.
After everyone took their seats at the dining table, exquisite dishes were served one by one.
Enzo, who had been silently communicating with everyone else around the table using his eyes, suddenly was amazed.
As an M.D., who spent almost 24 hours a day in the laboratory, Enzo had always believed that eating was meaningless and was a waste of time.
But this idea of his was suddenly changed by the delicious food on the table in front of him.
Enzo felt extremely satisfied after finishing the dinner.
He began to regret it deeply!!
He regretted that he had missed a lot of delicious food in the past over twenty years!
He thought, “Thanks to Roderick!‘
Looking at Roderick, who was taking care of Melanie throughout dinner, Enzo came up with an idea.

He wanted to play matchmaker for Roderick and Melanie.
Actually, Enzo knew why Melanie rejected Roderick. He thought it was most likely because of what happened seven years ago.
Melanie was too proud. What happened seven years ago was something that she couldn’t get over with.
But clearly, she loved Roderick now.
But the relationship between Roderick and Melanie started with a transaction, which was something that she couldn’t accept.
She probably felt ashamed of it!
But Roderick was really an excellent man and also a sensible and smart man!
Enzo thought that a man as excellent as himself was good enough for Melanie.
Enzo stared at Roderick’s eager look and Melanie’s fake indifferent look.
Enzo even
thought that Melanie had crossed the line and Roderick was so pitiful!
