A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 2286

It seemed like Gloria's position as the heir of the Moreton Family was already very secure and she was deeply trusted and loved by this control freak, which was why she could make him come to eat at Mamy Restaurant together with her.

Mag had watched Gloria's growth from the very beginning, from an unconfident ugly maiden to an independant female boss after removing her veil. Going through the change was difficult but her pace had been steadfast.

She depended on her own abilities and not on her looks and sweet-tonguedness when she defeated the seemingly heir apparent, Cyril, as a completely unfavored eldest granddaughter.

Come to think of it, this stubborn old man Jeffree should have already accepted the fact that women could also inherit the family business and expand it.

With Scheer's exceptionally outstanding ability as an example, Gloria's Blue Suede Fashion had already begun to monopolize the ladies' wear in the upper echelon of society. One could see a patch of blue sky clearly.

If he was to hand their family fortune to a wastrel like Cyril, he might as well give it to Gloria to gamble for a better future.

Jeffree sat down and softly asked Gloria, "He designed all Blue Suede's clothings?"

"Yes." Gloria nodded. She didn't hide this fact from Jeffree and Mag had agreed to it too.

"I didn't think a chef like him would have such intricate thoughts." Jeffree chuckled. He was indeed rather surprised.

He had investigated Mag before. His background was very simple and his relationship with Gloria was also simple and pure.

The most important factor that turned Blue Suede Textiles Shop from a textiles shop that was losing money into a high-end fashion store that was highly sought-after by the upper society, was that it kept releasing shocking new products.

There was no doubt about Gloria's capability, but the key figure of Blue Suede was that fashion designer, who was this man wearing a chef's suit in front of him.

"Mr. Mag is young and capable, kind and generous. He's indeed very admirable." Lance looked at Mag and said with appreciation, "He has contributed greatly to Hope School's construction which allows the children to go to school. It is a huge contribution to society."

"Yes. Mr. Mag is really a good man." Madam Debra was also praising him. She had often heard her husband talk about Mag recently. News regarding Hope School was a hot topic in the circle of teachers right now.

Of course, there was also another very important reason.

Mr. Mag had successfully cured the mark on Gloria's face. She was already very grateful for that. Furthermore, he helped Gloria achieve great success in her career.

If it wasn't for the fact that Mr. Mag already had a daughter, she wanted to matchmake the two of them. They looked great together.

"Has Mr. Mag told you about his wife? Is he divorced or a widower?" Debra whispered in Gloria's ear softly.

Gloria was stunned before a blush rose up on her face. She pinched her mother's hand under the table and softly said, "Mother, how am I supposed to ask him such questions?"

"What's so difficult to ask about? You can't go wrong trying to gain a deeper understanding of an outstanding man like Mr. Mag," Debra answered seriously.

Gloria stared at her mother with a weird expression. She didn't answer her as she didn't want to continue on the topic.

Lance smilingly said, "I heard that Mr. Mag intends to set up a culinary school in Hope School. Seems like our Chaos City is going to be the holy land for the chefs on the Norland Continent."

Mickey's eyes brightened and he, who had been sitting quietly, curiously asked, "Culinary school? You mean they learn to cook from him?"

Lance looked at him and smilingly asked, "Why? Does our Little Mickey want to learn to cook too?"

Mickey nodded and replied, "Yes. Mr. Mag's dishes are so scrumptious. If I learn how to make them, I can cook for all of you. Perhaps I can even open a restaurant in the future. It should be very interesting."

"Being a chef is hopeless. You should aspire to become an outstanding businessman," Jeffree said sternly with a straight face.

The ambiance at the table turned cold immediately.

Mag, who happened to walk by, faltered in his steps. He felt discriminated against?

Who says that being a chef is hopeless? Doesn't he see that I'm already the number one expert in this world already?!

Mag controlled his urge to console Mickey and continued to walk by them.

It was hard to say if being a chef was hopeless or not, but it was true that it was very tough. Ordinary people usually couldn't take the hardship, let alone this young master from a rich family.

"Mickey, you're still young and it's not time for you to decide about your future yet, but if you're interested in learning how to cook, I can ask Hope School on your behalf. Let's see if you can go for lessons if there are lessons during the weekend," Lance said to his son with a smile. He didn't let his son be pressured by his grandfather's sternness.

Mickey was elated and he instinctively looked at Jeffree carefully.

Jeffree's mouth moved as he flicked a glance at Lance, but he maintained his silence in the end.

Gloria's lips curved up as she gave Mickey an encouraging look.

Grandfather had changed after all. If it was in the past, he would have banged the table and lectured their father. However, he didn't even quarrel with him today.

This change was rather nice. At least, they looked more like a family now.

She had invited her grandmother when they came out earlier, but she rejected them. She chose to eat with her second uncle and his family at home.

Gloria wasn't affected by it. Grandma had never liked their family. She must be hating her guts now that she was the only successor, even after trying to change it after they came back to Chaos City by creating trouble a few times.

Compared to the lifestyle that her family led in the past, Cyril's family's current lifestyle wasn't too bad. However, they could no longer splurge like before, so she couldn't pity them at all.

Gloria ordered a table full of dishes and a helping of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" specially for Jeffree.

Looking at the menu's price tags, apart from being slightly surprised, Jeffree didn't say anything else.

This was the first restaurant in Chaos City that dared to set such high prices.

However, judging by the long lines at the door, the market seemed to agree with this price and they seemed to love it, which meant this pricing was, with any doubt, very cost effective.

This made Jeffree even more curious about Mag's culinary skills. How great were his dishes that it could make so many people become crazy fans?

Soon afterwards, the dishes were served.

Steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers, red braised pork, Sichuan spicy chicken, the eggplant with garlic sauce, sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce, Mapo Tofu, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" and a bottle of rum. The dishes Gloria ordered were all served.

The meaty aroma rose up with the steam and went into their nostrils. The spiciness of the Sichuan spicy chicken and steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers were in the midst of the aroma. Moreover, Jeffree instinctively swallowed his saliva when the cover of the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" was removed.

It was a table full of dishes that looked great and smelled great. They hadn't even touched their chopsticks and the dishes were already irresistible.
