Sophie Huang stared at the scrambled eggs on the plate and her nose started to feel sour. Her gaze shifted to the little girl by her side and her lips tilted into a smile. "Hazel, you made this?"

"Un." Hazel nodded. Her eyes darted towards the food on the plate anxiously. "I made one for grandma and one for grandpa. Grandma, try, and taste first."

Sophie laughed happily. She picked up the cutlery and started to sample the scrambled egg. Her eyes widened at the taste. She was prepared to give the little girl her compliment words though it was not going to taste good, surprisingly, the scrambled eggs tasted delicious. Fluffy and moist.

"Grandma?"

She snapped out of her thoughts and smiled. "It's delicious."

It was the first time her granddaughter had cooked something for her and Sophie was naturally happy.

Her granddaughter had grown up very well and had now known how to prepare scrambled eggs.

Something warm spread in her heart and her eyes grew misty as she continued to stare at the little girl.

A bright smile appeared on the little girl's face. Hazel lowered her gaze and smiled shyly before she ran towards the kitchen to help her teacher with preparing breakfast.

The old lady watched as her granddaughter retreated into the kitchen and shifted his gaze towards his son, who was munching his toast in silence. Her eyebrow shot up upon noticing something different about him.

"Neil," Sophie called her son and watched as he lifted his head to look at her. "You look like you have gained some weight."

The man's mouthed paused from chewing.

"I mean in a good way," Sophie continued. "You look healthy."

This son was always so busy with his work that he tended to forget to eat properly. Although people would always say that her son had a good body built due to his exercise and muscle training, Sophie was always worried that his son was not eating properly.

The first few months after he had assumed her position as the President of MH Group, Neil was hospitalized for gastric all because he wanted to focus on the company and had neglected his meal.

If it was not for Adam who had to look after his brother, it was possible that Neil would continue to forget to have his meal in time.

These past few weeks, Neil had ensured that he would return home early and accompanied Hazel for dinner. Edith would cook some simple, home dishes for dinner and he would find himself eating more than he usually does.

A slight frown appeared on Neil's face as the cause of his weight gain crossed his mind. However, seconds later, his hand moved to shove another spoonful of food into his mouth.

Seeing that her son choose to ignore her, Sophie shifted her gaze towards the two people in the kitchen. Her granddaughter was watching intently as her teacher was teaching her how to prepare some simple breakfast items.

"I didn't think that Hazel is old enough to cook," Sophie spoke and a long sigh escaped her.

Her thoughts went to his deceased son and daughter-in-law and her nose started to sour. If the two of them were able to see Hazel right now, they would be so proud.

"Is it like this every day?" Sophie asked her son as she continued to observe the two girls in the kitchen. A helpless smile curled on her lips upon seeing how close her granddaughter was with her teacher.

Previously, Sophie was worried when her son told him that Nanny Ann was unable to look after Hazel after she was injured. Sophie knew about her son's living environment and was initially worried that Hazel will not get used to it.

Fortunately, Hazel and Teacher Qian get along very well.

Although she had been in the house for less than an hour, Sophie was able to tell that her son was able to live with both Hazel and Edith well.

"Auntie Emma will come over every weekday to prepare breakfast for Hazel," Neil answered. "Hazel only helped Teacher Qian in the kitchen every weekend. I think it's good for Hazel to learn to cook something simple. Teacher Qian assured me that it would not be dangerous for Hazel."

Lucas Mo raised a brow as he looked up from the plate of scrambled egg that Hazel had made for him and looked at his son. Neil was someone who did not like to speak too much. It was surprising to hear him explaining the situation to them.

"Hmm," Sophie nodded. "I think it's good for Hazel too. She can do anything as long as it would make her happy."

At this time, Edith walked into the dining area carrying a plate of toast.

"Chairman Mo, Mrs. Mo, please eat a bit more," Edith said. She placed the plate on the table and flashed a charming smile.

Sophie stood up and held on to Edith's hands, causing the younger woman to look at her in a puzzle. "We have enough food here. Teacher Qian, come, sit down. Let's have breakfast together."

Before Edith was able to say a word to decline, Sophie had pulled her to sit down. Suddenly, Edith found herself sitting beside Neil.

Edith glanced at the person beside her and felt her hair stood upon meeting Neil's piercing gaze.

She did not know what happened, but ever since this morning, Edith had this feeling that something was not right.

Swiftly, Edith looked away and concentrated on Sophie.

"I saw the video from yesterday's afternoon," Sophie said. She gave a gentle squeeze at Edith's hands and continued, "The situation was very dangerous, but you did not hesitate to take down that man. Teacher Qian, Chairman Mo and I would like to thank you. If something happened to her, I would not know what to do."

"Mrs. Mo, I just did what I can in that situation." Edith was embarrassed upon hearing Sophie's words. "Moreover, I was worried that the man would be agitated and would do something dangerous. Hazel is my student. It is impossible for me to ignore the situation."

Sophie let out a long breath. There was a mixture of gratitude and helplessness on her expression. "Teacher Qian, you are also a woman. Next time, don't do anything dangerous."

"Mrs. Mo, you don't have to worry," Edith flashed an assuring smile. "My grandfather was a policeman before he retired. He taught me a few self-defense moves."

"Mom, you don't have to worry," Neil spoke as he picked a slice of toast and smeared some butter. "Teacher Qian was someone who had experience in a fight. Previously, she had learned some Judo moves."

Edith turned her head to Neil and wondered how did he know about this information. But before Edith was able to ask him, Mrs. Mo had already shot dagger at her son and reprimanded him.

"Neil Mo, what do you mean? Is that something you should say to a girl?" Sophie looked at her son in displeased. "Even though Teacher Qian had learned some martial art, she is still a girl." She turned her head to her husband who was minding his own business and spoke again, "Lucas! You see, this is why your son was unable to get himself a girlfriend."

Lucas Mo stared at his wife and blinked innocently.

His son was unable to get a girlfriend, but what does that have to do with him?

Sophie grew frustrated as she continued to look at the two men in her family. The moment she turned to Edith again, the amiable smile on her face returned. "Teacher Qian, Mo's family owe you for saving Hazel. Later, if there is something you need my help with, you must tell me.. We will do our best to return the favor."
