Chapter 2729
“This cooking…” Thomas furrowed his brow after tasting all the dishes, then instinctively glanced in Tina’s
direction.
“Tastes familiar, doesn’t it?” Tina curled her lips into a smile and stared back at Thomas with a triumphant look.
“This is probably what your mother’s cooking used to taste like.”
She sighed and added, “I had spent a lot of time and effort sending people over to your mother’s hometown to
brush up their cooking skills.
“Not only that, but I even forced your father to taste–test multiple times before finally confirming that this is indeed
how your mother’s cooking used to taste like.”
Thomas narrowed his eyes. “Why are you trying so hard to get on my good side?”
Tina chuckled. “Well, that’s because…‘

A look of helplessness washed over her as she explained, ” After all, the entire Howard family–even the entire
Saigen City–is now at your and Joshua’s beck and call, so of course I’d want to get on your good side.”
She was lying, of course.
The truth was, the chef who had prepared this impressive
meal had already been working for the Howard family for
many years.
Despite the façade that she and Senior Howard put on, showcasing their love for each other, Senior Howard had
been struggling to move on after Eanne’s leaving.
Therefore, to win over Senior Howard’s heart, Tina had spent hours tracking down the chef that could replicate
Eanne’s cooking.
She had done all this to please Senior Howard.
The truth was, the chef had been working for them and making their meals for many years, instead of what she
claimed to Thomas. Thomas did not know this since he had not returned home for many years.
The last time he came over for dinner, Tina purposefully switched out the head chef for that day so that Thomas
would not be able to taste his mother’s cooking.
This time, she swapped the head chef back just to get on Thomas‘ good side and make him think she was genuine.
Thomas was silent for a long time before finally sighing and letting his guard down.
They finished the rest of their meal, but to their surprise, even after they were done, Senior Howard still had not
shown up.
“Is he coming back or not?” Thomas asked coldly, glancing at Tina as he put down his tableware.
Tina curled her lips into a smile. “Be patient, Thomas. Your father must’ve gotten caught up in some urgent
business at the company. Why don’t you…sit back and relax for a while first?”
Then, she shot Denise a meaningful glance and added, ” Denise, bring Thomas up to his room.”

Thomas furrowed his brow, all of sudden sensing that something was not right.

He scoffed, grabbed hold of Yannie’s hand, and stood up. There’s no need for that anymore. Since that old geezer
doesn’t really want to apologize, I don’t have to keep on waiting. However…”
He let out a disdainful snort. “Don’t you dare beg for Joshua and me for mercy in the future.”
How could he have believed Tina when she claimed the old geezer wanted to apologize to him?
At the thought of this, Thomas turned around and strode away, pulling Yannie along.
“You want to leave, don’t you?” After an hour of
pretending, Tina finally let her guard down and sneered.” Thomas Howard, the fact that I had summoned you
willingly means I had prepared for this exact moment. Do you honestly think you’ll be able to walk out of here
unscathed?
“Guards! Seize them!”
