Chapter 1024 My Wife is the Representative of Our Family

When it came to ordering food, it didn't matter if they ordered the same thing twice. If they did, just order something else. However, after all these years of experience with Patrick, everyone knew that maximizing their synergy was important. One key aspect of this was to try not to repeat dishes as much as possible.

Sure enough, before anyone had a chance to speak up, Patrick said, "I'll give you all a chance. Each person can suggest one dish and duplicates don't count."

As soon as he spoke those words, everyone glared at him in unison. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Walter said, "Patrick, you're getting more and more outrageous."

In the past, when they ordered food and repeated dishes by accident, they would still make them anyway. Now things were different; duplicates didn't count anymore, which made things more challenging.

Patrick raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't forget how many people we have here."

However, the more people there were, the harder it was for them to agree on anything.

Of course, Patrick wasn't going to let them negotiate, so they had no choice but relied on their accumulated synergy over the years.

Aimee looked up at Patrick, feeling both amused and frustrated by his rule-making tactics. She didn't care how many dishes they made, since she knew that everything would taste good regardless of what was served, but having Patrick protect her like this made her feel happy inside.

Aimee said, "Let's call Beata and Yael out too."

This time everyone's gaze turned towards Aimee in unison again.

Eden teased Aimee saying, "You've been corrupted by Patrick already!"

With so many people around already, adding two more seemed like too much chaos for some, but Aimee's reasoning was sound; after all it was Beata's birthday cruise party! It wouldn't be fair if she couldn't join in with everyone else!

What could they do? They had no choice but follow Aimee's request even though it added another layer of difficulty.

Beata was shy and wanted nothing more than just sleeping through everything.

When she heard about ordering dishes together with everybody else, she couldn't resist joining in despite her shyness making her want disappear into thin air. Everybody's attention focused solely on her face which only caused River's eyes slide back-and-forth between hers'and Yael's faces, making Beata feel even more comfortable than before…

Yael looked at River with a silent plea to tone it down. Beata was now his girlfriend, and even when River was her brother, he couldn't tease her like that.

River sighed and conceded. "Fine, she's not our family's princess after all."

The conversation shifted back to the important task of ordering food.

Beata furrowed her brows after hearing the rules. She wanted to order a lot of dishes but repeating orders would make them disappear - what a rip-off!

Her eyes darted around until an idea struck her. "Why don't we order as families? Each family can choose one dish."

This way, they could cut their orders in half and reduce the chances of repeats.

Patrick chuckled. "You're using all your smarts for this."

Beata grinned mischievously. "It's my birthday and Aimee said I get to call the shots on this cruise ship party - even though my actual birthday has passed and we haven't had it yet."

Patrick knew better than to argue with Beata, especially since she was the youngest among them.

He pointed out a loophole in her proposal though, "Sure thing! You guys are one family - The Knight Family - and we're another - The Hayden Family."

Everyone stared at Patrick incredulously.

Eden spoke up first, "Can you be any more shameless? Ask your wife if she agrees with your suggestion!"

Aimee was trying hard not to burst out laughing; she thought Patrick went too far too.

But as his wife, Aimee had no choice but defend him, "Pat's suggestion makes sense!"

Eden rolled his eyes while Ben and Damion exchanged knowing looks; they knew they had their work cut out for them now.

Ben joked, "As long as you don't slow us down!"

With Eden's unpredictable mind, Ben had every reason to doubt whether he'd come up with something ridiculous again instead of avoiding repeats altogether.

Eden felt offended by Ben's comment but didn't say anything else except, "My wife will represent our family."

Ben and Damion nodded approvingly without saying anything else; Eden couldn't help feeling annoyed once again by their nonchalant attitude towards him.
