"Stop shouting, the cook isn't here." Stella came out of the kitchen to answer.

Hayden looked at her, "Where did the cook go?"

"In the afternoon, the cook went out to make purchases and never came back, just now I called him and he said that on the way back there was a landslide and the he was blocked on the road and couldn't come back." Stella shrugged her shoulders.

Logan blinked, "What about our dinner tonight?"

"What else can we do? Cook by ourselves, I went to the kitchen just now and the ingredients are all there." Stella pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

Logan wailed, "You mean, we have to cook our own food?"

"Or what?" Stella gave him a blank look.

The corner of Hayden's mouth twitched, "Does anyone know how to cook?"

At those words, the crowd fell silent.

After a while, everyone except Amber shook their heads, saying that they couldn't.

It was true that all the people present, who came from rich families, had been served since childhood, naturally they didn't know how to cook.

"It's over, looks like I won't be able to eat tonight." Hayden rubbed his stomach and said with a wry smile.

Stella squinted at him, "It's all because of you, bringing me here and letting me starve."

Hayden bristled, "Who knew the cook was so unlucky as to encounter a landslide?"

"Yeah." Stella sighed.

Makenna tugged on Jared's sleeve, "Jared, what should we do? I'm so hungry."

Jared's thin lips twitched as he replied, "There should be snacks. I go check the kitchen."

"That's all that can be done." Makenna nodded her head.

The two went to the kitchen.

Logan didn't want to go with Makenna, so he didn't go.

Soon the two came out again, but with nothing.

Cole scoffed out, "Didn't you go looking for snacks? Where are the snacks?"

Jared was cold and ignored him.

Makenna softly replied, "No snacks in the kitchen."

"Holy shit, looks like we're destined to go empty stomach tonight." Hayden said with a downcast look.

Cole looked to Amber beside him, "Baby, are you hungry?"

When Jared heard this, he also looked towards Amber, with an imperceptible concern in his eyes.

Makenna caught it anyway, her palms clenched.

"A little, how about you?" Amber nodded.

Cole rubbed his stomach, "I'm hungry too."

"I'll go cook then." Amber said.

Except for Logan and Jared, everyone was astounded.

"Baby, you can cook?" Cole gaped at Amber.

Before Amber could answer, Logan was the first to answer with glowing eyes, "Amber can cook, and her cooking is awesome."

"You've eaten that before?" Cole turned his gaze to him, disgruntled.

Logan raised his chin proudly, "Of course, I've eaten for six years. You are so surprised that Amber can cook, it seems that you haven't eaten Amber's cooking yet." Those words poked at Cole's heart.

Cole ignored him with a sullen face and took Amber's hand, saying heartily, "No wonder your hands were so rough before, so you had to cook for the Farrells in addition to doing housework. Baby, are you stupid?"

"Well, it's all in the past." Amber gave a smile and drew her hand back.

Cole coldly snorted, "You think it is in the past, I don't think so. You grew up as your parents' little princess. But once you married into the Farrell family, you had to do the laundry and cooking yourself?"

He turned around, angrily gazing at Jared, "It was your family that made her do it, right? As the richest man in Olkmore, you can't even afford a maid in the house? You actually let your wife do what the maids do, to serve your family. I would never have the heart to let her do that. Your family is really disgusting."

His baby that he had cherished in his heart for more than ten years and had been carefully protected, was treated like a servant, no, worse than that, in the Farrell family.

He was so angry.

"Yes, there are actually families that treat their wives as maids nowadays. Mr. Farrell, is your family still living in the old times?" Stella scanned at Jared with contempt. She then looked at Makenna, "Miss Gardner, you heard it, the Farrell family will spite their daughter-in-law. I'm afraid that if you marry in, you will have a hard time."

Makenna bit her lip and forced a smile, "No, Jared's mother is very nice. I'm sure they won't treat me like that."

"Don't say that too early, who knows what will happen later?" Hayden added.

Jared listened to a few people taunting the Farrell family, and although his face was gloomy, he did not retort.

Because all of what Cole said was indeed true, the Farrell family did treat Amber as a servant for these six years, because his mother didn't like Amber.

He knew that it was wrong for his mother to do that, but he chose not to intervene and let his mother do that to Amber because he didn't love her, so although he didn't directly bully Amber, his act of letting it go was itself a bullying of Amber.

On the side, Logan didn't say anything either, his face blushed.

He had only wanted to show off that he had eaten Amber's cooking, but to his surprise, it had led to the Farrell family's bullying of Amber.

"I'm sorry, Amber." Logan bowed towards Amber and apologized.

Although he had apologized before, it didn't stop him from apologizing again.

Amber gave him a look and didn't take his apology to heart, rubbing her brow, "Alright, get up, get out of the way, I have to cook."

"Amber, can I choose from the menu?" Logan came up to her, his eyes shining as he looked at her.

The corner of Amber's mouth twitched.

Boy...

When did she say she was going to cook for him? And what's with the menu? There's no menu. They could either eat whatever she wanted to cook or just starve.

"No." Amber refused.

Cole clapped his hands and laughed, "Did you hear that, baby said no!"

Logan glared at him, then looked at Amber with aggravation written all over his face, "Why?"

"Because we are two people who have nothing to do with each other, why should I cook for someone who has nothing to do with me? You brother and your sister-in-law are both here, you can go to them if you want to eat." Amber pointed at Jared and Makenna and then strode to the kitchen.

Cole smiled smugly at Logan before following her.

Stella suddenly thought of something and raised her hand and said loudly, "Miss Reed, I'll help you with the cooking. Could you spare me a seat at the dining table?"

"And me, Amber, last time you hurt your foot, it was me who took you to the hospital." Hayden also said, not willing to be left behind.

Amber smiled, "Fine, then all come and help."

"Got it." Hayden and Stella followed with a smile.

The three of them in the living room could still hear the sound of laughter coming from the kitchen from time to time.

There was no telling what the person inside said, and Amber laughed loudly.

Jared pursed his thin lips and sat on the sofa, the thought of her smiling at Cole and the others made him quite annoyed in his heart. Logan was also upset in his heart.

Amber would rather cook for Hayden and that woman than for him.

Was he that annoying to her?

Makenna also did not speak, slightly lowering her head and twisting her two hands together.

Soon, the rich aroma of a meal wafted out of the kitchen.

When Logan smelled it, he only felt even hungrier and his stomach rumbled.

Jared couldn't help but swallow as well. His face turned even gloomier.

He knew that Amber could cook because Amber had made it for him before, he just never ate it.

However, she was such a good cook that the smell alone made him salivate, so he could imagine how delicious it was.

"Jared, why don't we go and cook too?" Suddenly, Makenna tugged on Jared's sleeve and suggested.0000
