Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 178

When Emma took her first bite, she wanted to spit it out. It was terrible. The chef probably put ice on the meat to keep it fresh, causing the meat to be slightly hard; and he even cooked it to medium well. In this case, there was no soft and delicious taste at all. It was unpalatable and inedible indeed.

Emma tried her best and swallowed it. After all, Arabella meant well. Emma frowned, crammed the meat into her mouth. Then, she reached for the teacup but touched a goblet.

She sniffed it and realized that it was Petrus; she didn't check the bottle.

In fact, Emma had not drunk red wine for years. She took one sip. It had a round taste with the fragrance of truffles and chocolate, which could be a drink for women. It finished with a milky touch, making it a proper drink for children as well.

After Emma finished her drinking, she said to Stony, "Drink a little more if you like. Have a drink with Mr. Jaquan."

Stony nodded, picked up his glass and stood up, "Mr. Jaquan, thank you for taking care of my mom and me these days. I would like to propose a toast to you."

The child was too mature for his age, and he shocked everyone at present. Even the foreign chef was astonished and cried, "Oh my god!"

Jaquan couldn't help but laugh. It was rare for him to toast so seriously, "Alright!"

When they clinked their glasses, Jaquan noticed that it was not a coincidence for Stony to lower his cup at their first toast. Instead, he did it on purpose.

But how could such a young child know all these table manners?

Jaquan felt that the mother and her son had so many secrets with them, or to put it more accurately, too many pleasant surprises. He was impressed by this boy and knew Emma better now.

There was a knock on the door, and it was Collin again. He took the day shift and would come over directly as long as he got off work. He was not looking for Jaquan, but for Emma. The two of them did have something to talk about. However, Jaquan didn't notice what they were chatting, since he would have the door closed every time.

As the door opened, Collin noticed the shoes at the entrance and smiled, "Do you have a guest?"

When he changed his shoes and entered, he saw Arabella, the Chef and her two bodyguards. He was shocked by this pomp, "Is this an incognito visit from the princess?"

Arabella only knew him as Jaquan's friend. Although she had only met Collin for a few times, she still treated him as a friend. Moreover, he was the one who offered her massage when she sprained her ankle earlier. That little joke reminded her that she might have gone too far, as if she was here to show off her wealth.

She blushed and jumped to her feet, "Well, I have other things to do. I need to go first."

Then, she left with the chef and the bodyguards in hurry.

Jaquan glared at Collin and rushed out to comfort Arabella.

Collin turned to Emma and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"She's thin-skinned. You shouldn't have said it out loud." Emma sliced a piece of the foie gras and tasted it. It was unpalatable as well and she spat it out on the tissue. Afterwards, she told Stony, "Don't eat that. It's terrible."

"You would be the only one who cannot bear the foie gras made by a five-star chef." Collin changed his shoes and entered the room. Usually when he was in his white coat, he would impress people with his elegance and aloofness, as if he was going to vanish and ascend to heaven at any moment. But today he wore a light colored coat with a beige sweater underneath, which gave him a rather approachable look.

The white sweater went perfectly with his fair skin. He held two large bags with his slender fingers and threw two them onto the table and pushed them to Stony. "I bought these clothes of your size. Try them on. I'll change them later if they don't fit."

Stony took a look at Emma and with her permission took the clothes with him to the guest room.

Emma waited till Stony entered the guest room and said to Collin, "Thank you."

"I thought I would be rejected." Collin moved his knuckles. He would move his sour fingers every time he had a break.

"I was thinking that you may build up a resentment towards my rejection and could poison me in my medicine."
