Chapter 252 My Mother Taught Me

"Aren't you a clever one? Lucian did mention that he was fond of your feistiness." Michael didn't expect Amelia to retaliate so soon, but he was also pleased with her response.

"I sense scorn in your words. Are you trying to test my wits?" Amelia assumed that he was unimpressed by her statement.

As Michael looked into Amelia's angelic eyes, he couldn't get himself to find malice in her. "You have a pleasantness that even Sasha doesn't have," he said.

Amelia couldn't grasp how he could demean his own girlfriend in front of her, especially after what she had told him.

"Isn't beauty found only in the eyes of the beholder? Your words don't amuse me whatsoever. In fact, I find it all the more hypocritical," she said. Despite the fact that Amelia wasn't fond of Sasha, she still empathized towards her even after what Michael had said about her.

"I'm just being honest here," Michael said with a smirk as he laid his coffee cup down on the table. He then glanced at his phone to check the time and continued, "Lucian just messaged me that he's completed his work and will be here soon."

Michael was smart to end this foolish conversation then and there. By this point Amelia had her eyebrows crinkled in annoyance and was ready to lash out on him for his imbecilic behavior.

"You and Lucian really are the perfect couple." Michael jested at Amelia as he stood up.

Amelia's eyes displayed confusion, but she responded quickly, "You're quite observant. I'll take what you said as a compliment."

Michael burst into laughter as he shook his head and continued to express admiration towards her intelligence.

In fact, Amelia found it a bit over the top that Michael had chosen such a fancy restaurant for a simple lunch.

As they stepped onto the long red carpet that led into a lavishly luxurious restaurant with a palace-like structure, the waiters lined up uniformly along both

ry throat.

One of the biggest things that Iris had passed down to Amelia was her technique of making the most delicious noodles.

Amelia knew that Iris had always been known to be a wonderful cook. She wasn't just simply fond of Iris' cooking, she was also able to learn how to make her special noodles.

Amelia had spent all her life trying a variety of noodles from different places around the country. However, none of them could match the unique flavors that existed in Iris' special noodles.

Perhaps, it was the love that was put into each bowl of noodles she made that made it so special.

When Amelia was making breakfast for Nicholas, she suddenly felt some distress as she remembered the DNA test report that Fannie had taken the other day. As she thought of her mother, she couldn't help but make the special bowl of noodles that Iris taught her for Nicholas to try.

It took almost half an hour for Nicholas to finish his bowl, but throughout that time, Amelia had no clue what was on Nicholas' mind.

When he was finished, Nicholas looked at the bowl and with a pensive tone, he said, "This bowl of noodles has brought back a memory from the past that I thought was long dead and gone."

Amelia blankly stared at Nicholas, surprised by his response.

She wondered if his reason for visiting her today was to confirm the truth once and for all.

Didn't Fannie say the other day that both Nicholas and Lucian were afraid of her finding out the truth? 'I suppose Nicholas realized that it would be foolish to tell me the truth as it would only make me feel more resentful towards him.'

As Amelia contemplated these thoughts, Nicholas came to her and said, "Your mother must be an amazing cook!"

It was only then that Amelia confirmed her doubts about the fact that Iris had cooked for Nicholas before, or else he wouldn't have reacted in this way towards a bowl of noodles.
