First time seeing you be so indifferent to money?” Uncle knew Kiara’s character well. She never held back when it was time to make a move. When she previously had him buy jade, she had also hoarded quite a bit for herself. Even now, Uncle still had a few uncarved pieces of Imperial Green Jade that belonged to Kiara, which she had said were to be part of her child’s inheritance.

“Yeah, some things just can’t be bought with money.”

With happiness already in her grasp, why invite unnecessary trouble?

“Alright, then I’ll buy it myself.”

“Wait a minute!” Kiara stopped Uncle.

“What’s up?”

“Make sure to save enough quality wood for me to make a whole house worth of furniture, only the best.”

“Didn’t your home just get renovated?”

“It’s for my daughter’s dowry.”

Her Wendy would be the happiest kid, not even born yet and already having a mother who had prepared an abundance of wealth for her. From real estate to jade, from antiques to timber, these assets might not make her rich enough to rival a country, but they could ensure Wendy a life of carefree joy.

“…How can you all be so sure it’s a daughter?” Uncle couldn’t accept it!

“We just know,” Kiara said cheerfully before hanging up the phone.

When she opened the fridge, she saw well-packed meals in microwavable containers and boiled dumplings. Huh, has Camden become so decadent as to make dumplings at home by himself?

Holy cow, there’s even boiled fish!

Kiara just couldn’t stand it. She missed him so much at her mother’s house, and here he was, feasting like a king at home?

To express her anger, Kiara took out the dishes and put them in the microwave to heat up. She ate them herself, and not just that, she also cracked open a bottle of chilled beer!

Let him eat delicious food behind his daughter-in-law’s back. To deal with such a scoundrel, she needed to punish him swiftly! She’d eat all his food, leave him to come home to a meal of just soup-soaked steamed buns. Yep, that’s the plan.

…

“Old Yu Moore, is it really appropriate to just come over without letting your sister-in-law know first?”

“It’s fine. My daughter-in-law can definitely make it back today. I couldn’t get through to her on the phone, so she’s either on her way or already at home waiting for us.”

Camden said with great confidence, not missing the chance to show off his daughter-in-law in front of others.

“My daughter-in-law is a very home-loving, considerate woman who’s also got a great temperament. She actually told me beforehand to bring you guys over for dinner, no problem at all.”

When he called his mother-in-law yesterday, Kiara had just happened to go out with Arlong to shop. Kiara’s mother had let slip important information that Kiara would probably return today.

Camden’s former colleagues from his Old Unit had long been asking him to treat them to a meal, so, knowing his daughter-in-law was coming back today, he had made the food a day ahead of time and stored it in the fridge.

Knowing she couldn’t cook and not wanting to put her on the spot upon her return, he didn’t get home until 11 pm yesterday, thankful that the groceries were already bought and hung on the door earlier, and he finished cooking past midnight.

He sealed everything in airtight containers, ready to be heated up once he got back. So, when Kiara arrived, they could eat together without making her, the hostess, feel awkward.

However, man’s plans are no match for fate’s.

When Camden entered the house with his friends, he saw his beautiful daughter-in-law, whom he hadn’t seen for days, sitting cross-legged at the freshly made wooden table, drinking a small beer with dishes spread all over the table…

Pfft!

Kiara nearly spit out her beer; she choked on it.

Looking at Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ and his three friends standing behind him, her mind went blank.

A man with his suit stained with food… And why did he bring accomplices to join in the food-staining?

From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the boiled fish and vegetables on the table that she had already partially devoured… This was awkward!

Camden was also stunned for a second, and his three friends behind him were equally taken aback.

The woman, who was said to not have a temper at all… was drinking beer?

And was she guzzling it straight from the bottle?

The next second, Kiara quickly stuffed the beer bottle under the table, attempting to cover up her behavior of sneaking food and drink at home. She elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin and pretended to be diligent as she said.

“You’ve all arrived, welcome, welcome. I was just tasting the dishes to see if they’re too salty. Hurry, wash your hands and let’s eat!”

Indeed, it was a couple with high IQs. Kiara was quick to react, and Camden wasn’t slow either. He swiftly came over, and while caressing her head as if indulgently, he was actually covering up the bones left by his daughter-in-law. “Now, why didn’t you serve the dishes on plates? Using a microwave container to serve guests doesn’t look good. Go on, get the plates!”

And by the way, take away the leftover bones and fishbones with you!

“Yes, husband, you’re absolutely right. Are you tired, dear? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?” And while I’m at it, I can shove a fishbone down your back!

Stupid man! Why didn’t you tell me in advance about inviting guests for dinner? So embarrassing!

Sneaking food and beer, even chugging from the bottle, and being seen by his friends, ahhhh!

Camden also felt innocent, as he called you, but who told you to turn off your phone?

“Anyway, welcome! I’ll go get some cucumbers for you!” Kiara swiftly carried the food toward the kitchen, not even caring what color her face was; probably as red as a tomato by then.

“You guys go wash your hands and set the table. Don’t be shy at my place! I’ll help her with the cucumbers!” Camden, fearing Kiara might chop her hands while cutting cucumbers, hurriedly followed her into the kitchen.

As soon as the couple entered the kitchen, the three visitors burst into laughter.

“Haha, this couple is really amusing.”

“Right, they have to go into the kitchen together just to cut some cucumbers, haha!”

Hearing the teasing laughter from outside, Kiara put down the lunch box, grabbed a kitchen knife, and Camden immediately raised his hands in surrender.

“It was you who turned off your phone when I called you!”

“And you couldn’t have someone come over to let me know?”

“…”

Camden came to a conclusion, one should never argue with a woman because she’s always right, no matter what!

He hadn’t expected his usually vain but not greedy daughter-in-law to be eating in secret! She wasn’t usually like this!

But Camden, astutely, kept quiet. If he dared to speak up, the conflict would only escalate.

“How annoying! Aren’t you coming to help with the cucumbers? Seriously, where did we put the plates?”

Kiara’s petulant voice made Mario Yuno breathe a sigh of relief. Phew, looks like this issue was over, the daughter-in-law wasn’t angry anymore!

“First shelf of the cabinet, daughter-in-law. How have you gotten so lazy, eating without even putting food on plates? Are you trying to save yourself from washing dishes? I think if I hadn’t come back early, you might have left me only a lunchbox of soup.”

“Am I that kind of person?” Kiara said, holding the kitchen knife with a smile.

“Absolutely not!” Camden replied, going against his conscience. Never upset a woman holding a knife!

Thankfully, the dishes he made the day before were plentiful. Although Kiara harbored the desire to only let him slurp the remaining soup, her appetite had limits, so there was still enough food. They prepared a cucumber and another side dish, and his understanding friends pretended to forget what they saw upon entering. They pretended it wasn’t Kiara’s leftover food, and thus, both host and guests were pleased.

Kiara sat close to Mario Yuno with a smile on her face, pretending to be the image of a dutiful wife.

Yes, the woman guzzling beer wasn’t her. It must have been an illusion.
