In L’Opera Restaurant.
Out of unwillingness to admit defeat, Cierra made another Braised Chicken with Red Wine for Dr. Charles. In addition, she also stir-fried a portion of vegetables. The first time had been too hasty and insincere compared with the second time.
However, since Dr. Charles came here again, it meant that Cierra’s cooking skills were still remarkable.
Moreover, Dr. Charles did not say that he would not treat her mother. He neither agreed nor refused, which showed that there was still hope.
“Dr. Charles, have a taste.”
”
Two dishes were placed in front of Dr. Charles. The fresh fragrance of chicken wafted out of the room along with the heat. The other dish was fresh and verdant. Just by looking at it, one’s appetite
would be aroused.
Dr. Charles liked delicious food. When Braised Chicken with Red Wine was placed in front of him, he couldn’t wait any longer. However, because Cierra was still in front of him, Dr. Charles put on the airs of an elder. It wasn’t until Cierra spoke that he picked up a piece of chicken and slowly put it
into his mouth.
“How does it taste?”
Watching the food enter Dr. Charles’s mouth, Cierra’s originally calm heart became a bit nervous, fearing that the food this time wouldn’t suit Dr. Charles’s appetite.
This time, she didn’t use the recipe taught by Freddy of L’Opera Restaurant. She added the rest of the spices to make the chicken taste better. She didn’t use her own improved method to make the chicken more rotten so that the old man could bite it more conveniently. Instead, she followed the
most traditional method.
She had tasted it herself. The meat was filled with a strong fresh fragrance. It tasted flexible and chewy.
She ate it and felt that it was not as good as the one made according to the method of L’Opera Restaurant, but the taste was not bad and just right. However, for those who had bad teeth, it was probably a little difficult to chew.
Thus, after the dish was served, Cierra started to feel uneasy.
As she expected, Dr. Charles only took two bites and then put down his fork. He didn’t even finish the piece of chicken, which was worse than yesterday.
“It… doesn’t taste good?”
Cierra’s heart sank. She couldn’t describe what she was feeling at the moment.
Dr. Charles raised his head and looked into her eyes. He stopped pouring tea and then shook his head. “It’s not bad. My teeth are bad and I can’t bite. It’s not your fault.”
Even if Dr. Charles said he wouldn’t blame her, Cierra still couldn’t hide her guilt. “Then I’ll take it and exchange it for another dish.”
Dr. Charles waved his hand. “There’s no need to change. You can just add a simple dish to fill my stomach. Oh right, don’t use that dish that Layton made.”
Dr. Charles was picky about food, but he was still more tolerant when it came to filling his stomach. There were rules about which dish was used to taste and which was used to eat.
Cierra couldn’t help but laugh at Dr. Charles’ request. She agreed and was about to turn around to leave when she remembered something.
She turned back with a conflicted look on her face, “Dr. Charles, apart from the fact that you can’t bite this chicken, how does it taste? Do you think it’s authentic?”
If there was no problem with the taste, she could stew the chicken.
Under Cierra’s expectant gaze, Dr. Charles shook his head, “It’s still a bit different from what I
remembered.”
Cierra’s heart sank.
She didn’t show too much disappointment and still smiled at Dr. Charles. “Okay, I know. Thank for your comments, Dr. Charles. Please eat first. I’ll give you another dish to fill your stomach.”
After that, she left politely..

Therefore, she didn’t see that the moment the door of the private room was closed, Dr. Charles at the dining table suddenly picked up the fork, quickly picked up a piece of chicken, and slowly bit it.
“It’s just a little too tough. I can bite a few more times!”
In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere in the room, Claire, who was walking out with a tray in her
hand, looked worried.
That shouldn’t be the case.
The Braised Chicken with Red Wine was completely made according to the local old technology. Logically speaking, it should be authentic. After she made them, she also specially chose a local guest among the diners of L’Opera Restaurant to taste. The guest said that the taste was exactly the same as the traditional taste. How could it not be authentic in Dr. Charles’ mouth?
Cierra pursed her lips and got some clues.
Perhaps out of consideration for her martial brother’s face, Dr. Charles didn’t give her a cold shoulder directly. He just tactfully refused her.
Forget it, it was probably fate.
Cierra thought. “But it doesn’t matter. My brother also said that my mother is mainly me*ntally ill. When I go home, I will take good care of her and she will slowly get better.
“As for Dr. Charles…
She looked down at her hand and smiled. He could be considered an elder, and it was not a big deal to cook for the senior twice. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
In this way, she did not feel so disappointed. Instead, she went back to the kitchen with a smile. After making Black Pepper Pork Chop and an fresh fish soup for Dr. Charles, she took off the chef’s uniform and left happily.
There was nothing left for her to do in L’Opera Restaurant. She wanted to find some time to get William’s ring back. After the last design, she found a studio to customize it. In a few days, William would go home with her, and she could give him the gift on his birthday.
On the way out, she called Jaquan and told him that she would return to Los Angeles in advance.
Since Dr. Charles had already rejected her and she had divorced Draven, there was no reason for her to stay in New York any longer.
Since she would go back in advance, she had to inform her family.
After hanging up the phone, Cierra happened to walk to her car, but as soon as she opened the door and got in, she pushed open the car door and got out.
—
One of her car tires exploded, and she couldn’t start the car.
Helplessly, she could only turn to William.
However, William was probably in a meeting at this time and it was still early to get off work. He probably couldn’t stop what he was doing.
Just as Cierra was hesitating whether she should call Harold or not, an unfamiliar and pleasant
male voice came from beside her.
“Is there something wrong with the car?”
Hearing this, Cierra turned around and was slightly stunned when seeing a strange yet familiar face.
She said that it was strange because she didn’t often see this person, and she said it was familiar
because she knew him, and his good brother was familiar with Cierra.
“You are… Bruno West?”
Cierra looked at him for a while. While comparing his face with Ryan’s, Cierra dug out this name
from her memory.
“Yes, it’s so hard for you to remember me. I thought you had forgotten about me, Ms. Boyle.”
Bruno’s appearance was very similar to Ryan’s. However, their temperaments were completely
different.
Ryan was a wild pl*yboy, while Bruno was scholarly. Bruno was dressed in a light blue suit, which made him look very gentle, just like his gentle voice.
Glancing at the tire, Bruno asked politely, “Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?”
