Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 236 - 236: 236: Meeting the Future Mother-inLaw for the First Time

“Ocean, we can only go in the direction of seafood.”

Cindy was in the back and couldn’t think about the next round’s competition topic right now.

The next competition would take place in two weeks.

Because next week was Valentine’s Day, the TV station and various video platforms would have Valentine’s Night and various other activities.

Therefore, the second round of the competition would be postponed by one week.

“Cindy! ”

As soon as Cindy left the backstage, she heard Peggy Lewis’s voice.

Turning her head, she saw Peggy leading Morgan Zhekova towards her.

Cindy hurriedly went up to them, seeing no one else behind Peggy, she couldn’t help but reveal her disappointment on her face.

After all, Adrian Zhekova must be busy and possibly went back to the company.

It was already quite difficult for him to make it today. As they walked, they continued to discuss the event. “Next round’s topic is too broad, huh?”

“Ocean, we can only go in the direction of seafood.”

Cindy was in the back and couldn’t think about the next round’s competition topic right now.

The next competition would take place in two weeks.

“Cindy! ”

As soon as Cindy left the backstage, she heard Peggy Lewis’s voice.

Turning her head, she saw Peggy leading Morgan Zhekova towards her.

Cindy hurriedly went up to them, seeing no one else behind Peggy, she couldn’t help but reveal her disappointment on her face.

After all, Adrian Zhekova must be busy and possibly went back to the company.

It was already quite difficult for him to make it today.

Moreover, with so many people around, and the contestants not yet leaving, it would be inconvenient for Adrian to appear.

But for some reason, not seeing him made Cindy’s heart unable to stop falling.

Peggy quietly chuckled and whispered in Cindy’s ear, “Disappointed that you didn’t see Adrian Zhekova?”

The two were whispering, but Morgan, being short, couldn’t hear.

He looked up at Cindy and then at Peggy, feeling anxious.

Cindy’s face turned red involuntarily, feeling a bit guilty, she murmured, “Disappointed? I didn’t even want to see him!”

Whoever wanted to see him!

“Oh, that’s too bad,” Peggy said meaningfully, nodding. “Adrian Zhekova was worried that there were too many people around and that it would cause trouble for you if he came. People might see him and gossip about you, so he dared not come.”

Cindy had already guessed Adrian’s thoughts.

But when she heard Peggy say this, she felt much more relieved.

The previous feeling of loss disappeared.

“He’s with the Old Madam and Mrs. Zhekova waiting for you elsewhere. Morgan and I came to pick you up so you wouldn’t be lost when you couldn’t find us in our original location,” Peggy said.

“Mrs. Zhekova?” Cindy suddenly thought of the beautiful woman sitting next to Old Madam during the competition.

From Cindy’s impression, that Mrs. did not seem old enough to be Adrian’s mother; she looked much younger.

“Nervous about meeting your future mother-in-law for the first time?” Peggy whispered jokingly.

“Not at all,” Cindy denied, then realized her slip-up. “I mean, no, that’s not what I meant. Hey, stop messing with me!”

“Alright, alright,” Peggy stopped teasing her. “Anywvays, Mrs. Zhekova is there too. She has an interesting personality, just like a child. She even fought for Old Madam’s favor with Morgan, demanding that Old Madam must like her the most.”

Peggy shared her understanding of Mrs. Zhekova with Cindy during the competition.

Although it was limited, it was better than Cindy being completely in the dark.

It was impossible for Peggy to grasp Victoria Wheeler’s full character in such a short time.

But at least based on what she had seen, she could tell Cindy about it.

With Peggy’s explanation, Cindy had a better understanding.

Cindy then followed Peggy to meet Adrian.

On the way, Morgan held Cindy’s hand and said, “Cindy, you were awesome today!”

Cindy smiled and asked, “How was I awesome?”

“Your cooking skills were awesome, and even your takedown of Zoe Silverstone was awesome!” Morgan gave her a thumbs-up.. “And even when you took off the mask at the end, you looked so cool!”
