"Well, it's the same thing." Zayn wasn't ashamed of claiming the credit.
Meanwhile, Carla was rendered speechless. He is so shameless.
However, given that the children were there, she chose not to argue with him.
"Good morning, Ms. Wigston." Mrs. Bolistin greeted while serving breakfast.
"Mrs. Bolistin? Why are you here?" Carla was shocked.
"I asked Mrs. Bolistin to be here, "Zayn explained, "I took a look at the kitchen this morning and thought we could only prepare continental breakfast with the ingredients. Since the kids might not like it, I asked Mrs. Bolistin to bring more ingredients and a few helpers."
"Well, all the food I made today is Ms. Wigston and the kids' favorite, " Mrs. Bolistin chimed in delightedly, "Please start having breakfast. I'll serve Belgian waffles later."
"Sure. Thank you very much." After nodding at Mrs. Rawlson smilingly, Carla gazed at Freda coldly and asked, "What is going on?"
"I wanted to inform you about it. However, Mr. Giblo told me not to disturb you because you were exhausted last night, " Freda explained with reddened cheeks.
The word "exhausted" could paint a whole picture.
Moreover, Zayn mentioned the word specifically when he instructed Freda.
"You!"
Gritting her teeth, Carla wished to punch Zayn on the spot. However, she suppressed her emotions because her children and Dr. Feroma were present.
Instead, she only warned Freda coldly, "It's okay. Mrs. Bolistin is one of us. Nonetheless, you must report everything to me in the future! Remember that you're in the Lierger residence and not the Giblo residence!"
"Understood. It was my mistake, " Freda lowered her head and apologized.
"Mommy, I gave Freda the permission to let Mrs. Bolistin in, " Randy explained, "I woke up early today and went downstairs once I heard Mrs. Bolistin's voice. Freda initially wanted to inform you about it, but I let Mrs. Bolistin in right away. At that time, I thought it wasn't appropriate to let Mrs. Bolistin wait outside for too long."
After hearing Randy's explanation, Carla knew that Freda didn't fail her duty.
"I understand. Randy, you did the right thing, " Carla caressed Randy's head and replied, "besides, you guys always love the food prepared by Mrs. Bolistin."
"Thank you, Mommy." Randy heaved a sigh of relief, for he was worried that Carla would be upset just now.
"Alright, let's have breakfast." With that, Carla asked everyone to sit down and enjoy the food. Then, she served up a bowl of vegetable beef soup for Dr. Feroma and said, "Dr. Feroma, please try the oatmeal. Mrs. Bolistin learned to make it from Mrs. Borah."
"Now I know why the soup smells so familiar, " recalling the early days when Mrs. Borah was on the hill, Dr. Feroma sighed. "Back then, Mrs. Borah would cook for us every day, and we always looked forward to her dishes."
"Yes, I remember that you kept complimenting Mrs. Borah when you tried the food made by her for the first time, " Carla added with a grin on her face.
"Haha…" Dr. Feroma laughed and said, "I used to eat simple food all the time, yet my mindset upended after I tried Mrs. Borah's food!"
"Mrs. Borah is indeed a good cook. Unfortunately…" Carla couldn't help but feel sad upon recalling Mrs. Borah.
"Mommy, the soup was made by Daddy, " Josh whispered.
"Ah?" Carla glanced at Zayn shockingly. "Is that true?"
"Yes." Randy nodded and explained, "After you had left, the three of us always cried and refused to eat. Daddy learned to make this soup from Mrs. Bolistin and told us that it's Mommy's favorite food. Because of that, we felt happier and eventually had the appetite to eat."
"You're right. By the way, Daddy sucked at it in the beginning but eventually improved a lot, " Josh added, "So, the oatmeal he made tastes the same as Mrs. Borah's now."
"I agree, " Venus chimed in with a grin, "Whenever I was sick and didn't want to eat, Daddy would make this soup for me."
"He is a good daddy! We all love him!" Josh raised his hand excitedly.
"I love Daddy, but I also love Mommy!"
"Well, we love them both…"
