Chapter 1922 Putting Up An Act
“Nina, what do you think? The food here is a part of me and represents me, so I won’t allow anyone to talk bad about them.”
Finally, Nina understood why Maya overreacted, for she valued her food over her life. “Maya, the desserts are amazing. I love them!” Nina praised.
Hearing that, Maya stuck her chin up and giggled smugly. Stephen and Wilbur exchanged looks and smiled. “Let’s take a seat,” Wilbur suggested.
“All right. Nina, I’ll let you try my honey shortbread.” The four of them took their seats. Soon, the waiter served them the delicacies. Nina grabbed one and bit into it. She was full of praises for the food.
“Maya, you should bring some for Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Davin, Aunt Sheila, Daddy, and Mommy. They’ll love it.”
“Yes, I’ve prepared some for them. I’ll bring them back at night.”
Suddenly, a voice rang out. “Maya! Hey, sis!” They turned in the direction of the sound. Maya was surprised to see who it was. It’s her?
The other three could barely hide their surprise, too. “Did she just call you that?” Nina inquired. “She said that without my permission,” Maya explained.
Janice came over to them and greeted them warmly. “What do you want?” Wilbur snapped.
“I-I heard that the desserts here are exquisite and delicious, so I wanted to try them out. I invited Nicholas here, and he’ll be here soon. I’ll be getting out of your way then.”
With that said, Janice walked away.
“She’s doing well with Nicholas?” asked Nina.
“I don’t know. I’ve only met them once at the Simpson residence,” Maya answered with a shrug.
Nina raised her head to glance at Wilbur. “She used to love Wilbur. Has she forgotten about him that quickly?”
Wilbur said, “She’s pregnant with Nicholas’ child, and they are now engaged. Knowing her place, she must’ve decided to stop obsessing over me.”
Nina retorted, “Is it that easy to forget about someone she loves?”
Stephen thought about it and commented, “Perhaps she doesn’t really love Nicholas. Instead, she wants to marry into a rich family. Wilbur and Nicholas are similar, so she promptly forgot the former.”
“I don’t think so. Maybe she didn’t forget him and just buried him deep in her heart. She’s pregnant with Nicholas’ child and got engaged to him. She had no other choice,” Maya added. There was a hint of sympathy in her voice that escaped her notice.
“No matter what, she can do anything she wants as long as she stays away from us.”
Refusing to dwell on the topic, Wilbur changed the subject and talked about Maya’s desserts instead.
Soon, Nicholas arrived. The couple acted all lovey-dovey before them.
Nicholas acted as though he adored Janice and ordered all the best desserts available.
The waiter gave him the order device and selected a few choices for him to pick.
“Janice, choose anything you want!”
Janice glanced at Maya, who was seated at the neighboring table. “Maya, can you provide some recommendations?”
Maya pondered for a moment before recommending the three most expensive couple sets to her.
“Let’s get what Maya recommended. She knows what’s good here,” Janice said.
“Sure!” Nicholas agreed. He proceeded to ask, “Wilbur, can you give us a family discount?”
“Maya’s the owner, so I can’t call the shots.”
“Wilbur, you’re a man. If you say yes, my future sister-in-law won’t hurt your pride!”
Instead of replying to him, Wilbur turned to Maya.
