Chapter 2813 - 2831: He Even Knows This

Alexander Forest, what a miserable guy.

Having a childhood friend like James Black is really pitiful.

Relying on James Black for comfort is worse than relying on a donkey.

"What else needs to be done? I’ll help you." James Black reached out to rub Jane Sampson’s head, "Don’t curse me in your mind."

Jane Sampson instinctively touched her own face.

Was her expression just now that obvious?

Does this guy have mind-reading skills? How does he know?

"Hehehe." A guilty Jane Sampson shook her head to flick off the hand on her head, "I wasn’t cursing you in my heart just now, I was just thinking about whether to make the fish braised in soy sauce or spicy."

"Braised in soy sauce." James Black made the decision, "You can’t handle spicy."

"But Oscar Wilson likes spicy food." Jane Sampson said.

"Then let him come in and cut the chili peppers himself." James Black said this, but still took the bag of fresh chili peppers, poured them into the water pool, and started washing them without actually calling Oscar Wilson in.

After Jane Sampson finished her tasks and turned around, James Black had already chopped a whole plate of chili peppers and placed it next to her for use.

"Wear gloves when handling chili peppers, or your hands will burn, and you’ll end up crying." James Black said, after washing his hands several times with hand soap and still feeling the heat, he reminded Jane Sampson.

"In the future, don’t let Oscar Wilson choose dishes, don’t let him push his luck, whatever you make, he eats." James Black said, "If he wants spicy, he should go eat at a restaurant outside, or get married and have a wife cook for him."

The vinegar jar flips at a moment’s notice.

Jane Sampson pressed her lips together and smiled.

"It’s not like he’s ordering me around every day, besides, we’re all good friends, and whenever something happens, they’ve always been helping me. I can’t do much else, but I can cook, which is my small token of appreciation." Jane Sampson snuggled against James Black’s arm like a kitten acting cute towards its owner.

James Black’s belly full of anger immediately dissipated.

But he still deliberately kept a stern face and huffed to show his discontent.

Jane Sampson spent more than two hours preparing a big lunch spread. With so many people, it was quite an effort for Jane, but luckily James Carter returned later and helped her out.

As soon as the meals were on the table, everyone eagerly praised Jane Sampson and James Carter, complimenting the hardworking chefs of the noon.

Jane Sampson sat next to James Black smiling like a blooming flower, her happiness barely contained.

Perhaps the only one in the room not cheered by the culinary skills of Jane Sampson and James Carter was Alexander Forest.

Truly, it’s like a taste of "everyone is drunk while I’m the only one sober".

Everyone was chatting and laughing, while he sat there with a stiff face, saying nothing, burying his head in his meal, and casting one resentful glance after another at Nina Rice.

"Eat your meal, stop staring at others." Quincy Forest quietly nudged Alexander Forest’s foot.

Before meeting George Gates, Quincy Forest could still imagine that Oscar Wilson’s friend might not be better than her own brother.

But after meeting him, Quincy Forest felt that her own brother couldn’t compare to the guy.

In terms of keeping oneself clean, George Gates was a complete win.

Not that George Gates hadn’t dated over the years; rather, he was dedicated to feelings, having dated two girlfriends, each relationship lasting for many years, but eventually parting amicably for various reasons.

Just for that alone, Quincy Forest felt that George Gates was much more reliable than her own brother.

"You really like to meddle." Alexander Forest retorted to Quincy Forest, but mindful of the friends at the table, he no longer kept such a visibly sullen face.
