Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204

A

Not all foreigners could get used to the local cuisine, but this snake stew was an exception.

In fact, it was the first time they had ever agreed so unanimously on anything.

Nelson and his companions also took a taste.

The guests who had come today were all regulars at Ferry House. When they took their first bite of the chicken, they were stunned and thought, ‘Did Ferry House hire a new chef or something?”

Once the collaboration was finalized, they planned to come back and enjoy the meal a few more times.

The foreigners across the table sighed in admiration. “I’m starting to envy you people. Your food is incredible”

The locals, busy eating, merely lifted their heads and smiled without saying anything.

The truth was, this was their first time trying it as well.

If it weren’t for the business negotiations weighing on their minds, they wouldn’t have wanted to share even a single spoonful of this soup.

By the end of the meal, the foreigners looked noticeably more relaxed. It was now certain that the Landstrom family‘ business deal with them was locked in.

When all was said and done, half of the other dishes on the table remained untouched. Only the snake stew was completely gone.

The bowl was scraped clean, as if it had been washed.

Smith leaned back, satisfied but still reluctant to part with the taste.

After whispering something to his companions, he suddenly turned to Nelson and said, “Mr. Landstrom, I have a request- I’d like to meet the person who made this soup.”

What Smith didn’t say out loud was that he was considering poaching the chef.

If he could take this cook back with him, he could enjoy this dish anytime he wanted.

His family could also experience such a delicacy, and he could invite his friends over to share in it.

Smith was convinced that he could eat this stew every day for the rest of his life and never grow tired of it.

When he had mentioned this idea to his friend earlier, the friend had been fully supportive.

Nelson, of course, had no reason to refuse such a simple request. After all, they had a long road of cooperation ahead of them.

He called over a waitress and relayed Smith’s request to her.

The waitress’s expression showed a hint of hesitation, but she still stepped out and went to find the manager.

“Manager, the guest who ordered the snake stew wants to meet the chef,” she reported.

The manager, who had just finished apologizing to a guest downstairs, immediately rushed back up.

He had spoken more to customers today than he usually did in an entire week.

He walked into the box and skillfully apologized to the people inside.

Entering the private dining room, he smoothly apologized, “I sincerely apologize, but our restaurant’s chef didn’t make the snake stew. Our head cook wasn’t feeling well this afternoon and had to go to the hospital. A friend of the owner made this dish as a favor”

Upon hearing this, Nelson’s gaze lifted with concern as he asked, “What happened to Mr. Watsons?”

The manager answered honestly, “He went to the hospital for a checkup earlier. He called back to say it’s nothing serious,”

Nelson nodded and didn’t press further.

However, Smith was still unwilling to give up and probed, “Then can we meet this friend who prepared the dish?”

Perhaps realizing that his request was a bit presumptuous, he quickly added, “I genuinely loved this dish. I’d really like to meet the chef and befriend him.”

After speaking, he looked expectantly at Nelson.

Nelson had no choice but to turn to the manager again and ask, “Is Mr. Watsons‘ friend still in the restaurant?

“If it’s convenient, could we meet him?”

“He is still here,” the manager replied, “but Mr. Landstrom, you actually know him.”

Nelson was momentarily stunned. He racked his brain but couldn’t think of anyone.

Logically speaking, if someone he knew could cook this well, there was no way he wouldn’t have remembered.

The manager looked equally surprised, his expression practically saying, “Your friend cook

He then gave a hint, “It’s Mr. Holmes.”

Nelson froze.

well, and you didn’t know?”

He ran through his thoughts again. The only person from the Holmes family who could cook was lan.

With uncertainty, he asked, “lan?”

“Yes, Mr. Ian Holmes,” the manager confirmed.

However, the next second, Nelson firmly denied it, “That’s impossible.”

He was convinced the manager was joking.

He had eaten lan’s cooking back in university, and it was nowhere near this good.

Even if lan had improved over the years, it was unrealistic for his skills to have advanced this much.

As Nelson refuted it, the manager simply smiled at him, an expression that clearly showed he wasn’t joking.

“It really was him…” Nelson muttered, his face full of conflicting emotions. He was still half in disbelief.

From what he knew of lan, if his cooking had truly become this good, it would have been common knowledge by now.

He made a mental note to ask lan privately if he had gone for some kind of culinary training.

After locking away that thought, he asked what lan was doing here today.

Upon learning that lan had brought two children with him, Nelson decided against requesting a meeting

Smith, though slightly disappointed, understood the situation.

He still couldn’t stop praising the dish and even asked the manager to help him get in contact with lan. It seemed he had not given up on befriending him.

While the conversation continued inside, Nelson stepped out with the manager for a moment.

After finding out which private room lan was in, he headed there directly,

Inside, three people were preparing to leave.

Just as Nelson raised his hand to knock, the door swung open. Jeremy, seeing him, paused for a moment before greeting him, “Mr. Landstrom.”

He stepped aside and turned to the person behind him, saying, “Mr. Holmes, Mr. Landstrom is here.”

There was no avoiding it now.
