Chapter 144
As soon as Greg said this, Madison immediately felt that the atmosphere was a little different.
She wanted to say that there was no need to do this. Benton had already retired. It was fine if he did
not want to cure others. There was no need for Greg to threaten him, even though it was just a meal.
She looked at the two old men and held back her words. She stood silently at the side.
Madison still chose to believe Greg.
The private room was silent for a moment before Benton snorted. He pushed away Greg’s knife and
fork and quickly picked up a piece of chicken drumstick. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The chicken nuggets, which were still emitting wisps of steam and were wrapped in a fresh fragrance,
entered his mouth. Both gazes focused on Benton’s face, not letting go of any expression on his face.
Benton’s reputation was not undeserved. When he swallowed the meat, he did not have any reaction.
Instead, he put down the knife and fork in his hand and calmly poured a cup of coffee to rinse his
mouth.
“The butter chicken isn’t very authentic.”
Spitting out the coffee in his mouth, Benton shook his head and commented.
This action seemed to have already given Madison a result.
Hearing that, Madison felt a bit relieved, and her body relaxed slightly.
Before asking for help, John had already asked her to be me ntally prepared. Benton had a strange
temper. Many top-notch wealthy families in Zriston could not ask for a dose of medicine from him, so
she did not have to force him.
Her mother’s disease was mostly a result of an accident back then. Her depression had burdened her
body. As long as she went back and slowly accompanied her mother to recuperate, her mother would
eventually recover.
Getting a dose of Benton’s medicine was the icing on the cake. If she couldn’t, she didn’t have to be
disappointed.
Madison was much more relaxed when she thought of this. and when she looked at Benton’s
expression, she was no longer nervous.
“If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll get Justin to send another dish over. Greg, you can eat with
|
Benton first. I’ll go to the kitchen to keep an eye on them and see if there’s anything I can help with.”
She smiled at them both. “Enjoy your meal.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Since the thing had settled, there was no need to stay any longer.
The door of the private room was closed. Madison glanced in the direction where Madison had left. He
picked up his knife and fork and smacked his lips. “Tsk, this girl has quite a temper.”
Greg stopped him and his face darkened. “If you don’t like this, don’t eat it anymore. Old man, you’re
very thick-skinned!”
Benton was unhappy and started to argue with him. “I only said that it’s not authentic, but I didn’t say
that it’s not delicious! You old man, which traditional dish did you make wholeheartedly? The roasted
beef is newly made. You even influenced your discipline.”
Greg was so angry that he put down his knife and fork and slammed the table, almost dropping the
food. “Just tell me if it tastes good.”
Benton did not say anything. He held his knife and fork and did not dare to move. He looked at his old
friend opposite him.
Greg was furious at the thought of Madison going out. He pointed Benton’s nose and said, “You’ve
been coming to my shop for free meals all year round. It’s fine if you don’t pay. It’s fine if you don’t want
to help me, but you even put on air! You really have a bad temper. I shouldn’t have treated you to this
meal!”
“Hey, when did I say that I won’t help you? Don’t judge me. I haven’t even made any decision. Did I say
anything? Didn’t I just say that it’s not authentic? Tell me, is this dish authentic?”
Benton was also angry. He clicked his tongue and sighed. “With your bad temper, your disciple must
have been affected by you. Before you can finish speaking, she ran away. If she were to be my
disciple, I would definitely scold her.”
Greg didn’t understand what he meant.
However, he managed to control his temper. He glanced over and saw the thick- skinned Benton
reaching out with his knife and fork and starting to eat again. He seemed to like the chicken and ate a
lot.
Benton looked at him and said, “What are you looking at? Don’t say that I won’t save it for you. I didn’t
sn atch it from you.”
Benton couldn’t finish so much chicken, so why should he sn atch it?
Besides, he was the one who angered Madison. He felt a bit embarrassed.
Although he was thick-skinned, he still wanted to keep his reputation.
Greg also realized what Benton meant, but he was still a little worried. He probed, “Old man, do you
mean you’re willing to help her?”
Benton ate his food unhurriedly and said, “Then get your disciple to prepare a few more dishes for me
to try.”
Greg frowned and said, “What my disciple cooks doesn’t serve your taste.”
Greg still remembered that every time Justin served the dishes, Benton didn’t take a bite.
He was puzzled. “What, you thought about Justin?”
“Don’t mention him! He didn’t know how to cook other than processing the ingredients. Only you will
pick him.”
Benton was furious. He pointed at the improved butter chicken on the plate and his tone softened.
“However, your disciple who made the butter chicken is talented. The soft and tender chicken is
suitable for me. It retains the traditional flavor of butter chicken and adds. some supplementary
ingredients to add a new taste. Her cooking is not bad.”
Greg suddenly fell silent.
Benton continued to eat and chattered, “I agree with what you said. I’m going to take a look at that girl’s
mother, right? No problem! But let me make it clear first. Let your disciple cook a few more meals for
me.”
Greg could not take it anymore and said vaguely. “That’s my senior!”
“What?” Benton was stunned.
“I said, the girl you refer to is my senior!”
Although he was very unwilling to admit it, the rules were set by his biological father. And Greg could
not disobey them.
Morcover, Madison was indeed much more talented than him. He was convinced.
It was just that he was a bit reserved in front of Benton. He was already so old, and it was more or less
embarrassing to have a young lady to be his senior.
However, when he glanced at the half-empty chicken on the table and remembered Madison’s straight
back when she left, Greg immediately sat up straight.
He repeated it, enunciating each word.
“She’s Madison, my senior!”
After leaving the private room, Madison did not go straight to the kitchen.
Although John asked her not to force Benton, Madison was partly responsible for her mother’s disease.
All these years, there had been doctors treating her mother in the Daves family, but her health did not
seem to have improved. Perhaps Benton could be helpful?
However, Madison couldn’t even leave a good impression on him with the delicious. food. What else
could she do?
She thought, “Is it because the dishes didn’t serve his taste? Should I try again?”
However, wasn’t it too rude of her to come out just now?
“What are you doing here, slacking off?”
Just as Madison was sighing at the fake waterside pavilion in front of the private rooms, a man’s low
voice suddenly came from behind.
Madison was shocked and subconsciously turned around.
As she moved, she took a step back, and the pain swept over her. As she cried out in surprise, she fell
into the pool behind her.
Leo’s eyes darkened and his pupils contracted.
“Madison!”
