Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
Emmanuel was truly at a loss with her!
Turning around, he saw Rhea’s face was flushed like she had a fever.
“Are you okay?” Emmanuel approached her with a frown, wanting to observe if she was down with some kind of illness. On the other hand, Rhea became even more flustered and quickly turned away.
“What is up with you, Rhea, screaming and shouting in there?!” Juan, upont hearing the commotion, also walked into the kitchen. Their family placed a lot of emphasis on manners and education. He couldn’t recall ever teaching his daughter to behave like this, nor had he seen Rhea acting so strangely before.
“Alright, let’s bring the dishes out together. We can discuss it during the meal. We don’t want to be rude to our guest!” Edith also came in, picked up the dishes, and walked toward the living room.
Juan also grabbed a plate and followed suit. Although Emmanuel felt that something was off with Rhea, he didn’t say anything further and also went out with the dishes.
“I’m doomed…” What was supposed to be a chance to showcase herself had turned into a mess because of her stupidity.
How would Emmanuel think of me later? Will he think that our whole family was bragging?
“Rhea, what are you standing there for? Come out!” Juan shouted from outside.
Reluctantly, Rhea stepped out with her cheeks flushed and head lowered. It seemed like tears were about to fall from her face. Emmanuel found this woman to be a bit inexplicable. Every time he saw her, she seemed stranger than before. Truly, the world was a vast place with all sorts of characters.
“Here, Manny, have some soup first.” Juan enthusiastically served Emmanuel a bowl of soup.
“Thank you.” Emmanuel wasn’t being reserved either. After thanking them with a smile, he picked up the spoon to take a sip.
“Ah, don’t!” Rhea screamed again. The decibel level was high enough to send shivers down her parents’ spines.
“Rhea, what’s wrong with you today?” Even Edith was starting to get annoyed, and she couldn’t fathom why the young woman was behaving so strangely this day.
Rhea was at a loss for words to explain herself. Juan, on the other hand, gave her an exasperated look before turning his attention to Emmanuel, only to find the young man’s expression was far from okay.
“What’s wrong? Does it not taste good?” Juan asked nervously. “Well… the flavor is quite unique…” It was all Emmanuel could say to be polite. Fortunately, he had honed his willpower in the Northern Region, so even though the soup was so sour that his bile was rising, he still managed to swallow it down with a stiff upper lip.
“Try the green’s, then. Rhea has a unique ability to turn ordinary ingredients into something magical. Even-vegetables can become extraordinary!” Juan served Emmanuel a piece of the vegetable.
“Don’t eat it-” Rhea was about to scream again, but this time before she could make a sound, Juan shot her a stern glare that forced her to swallow her words.
When Emmanuel took a bite, he immediately looked like he was tasting something bland and inedible!
“What do you think? Isn’t it quite unique?” Juan laughed heartily.
“Hehe, it is indeed unique…” Emmanuel didn’t lie, offering a wry smile in response.
“Haha, that’s great!” Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief, casually serving Emmanuel a shrimp and meat roll, and proudly said, “Try Rhea’s signature dish. I guarantee you’ll never forget it for the rest of your life.”
“Okay.” Emmanuel nodded and was about to take a bite. Honestly, he had lost all expectations for Rhea’s cooking. He had no idea what the tastes of Juan’s family were, but out of politeness, he had to eat this shrimp and meat roll.
“Don’t eat it!” Rhea, realizing that Emmanuel was about to consume the dish snapped back to reality and dashed toward him without hesitation.
