Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under Sharon’s guidance, Zahn successfully caught a few energetic big fish. The fish in the harvesting garden were relatively large. It was no wonder Hazel was so tempted when she saw the big fish.

Wallace smiled as he watched Sharon help Zahn fish. He didn’t expect Sharon to have so many skills that he didn’t understand. This woman seemed to be very powerful, as if she knew everything and could do anything. But sometimes, she was like a little girl, blushing and shy when he said romantic words to her.

Sharon noticed Wallace’s gaze and turned her head in embarrassment. They had been married for so many years, but it seemed like they had only really started dating now.

Hazel noticed the pink romantic bubbles between the two of them. She didn’t quite understand. The two of them were already married, but they were still as reserved as people who had an ambiguous relationship.

“Why is your fish so big?” Donald asked the staff curiously.

“These fish were bought and thrown into the lake,” the staff member said honestly.

“They spent money to buy it and put it in the lake. Why don’t the people who spend money to come and fish just buy the fish then?” Xylia smiled and said.

“The fun of fishing is fishing, not having the fish, ” Georg said.

“That’s true. Let’s take these big fish back. I’ll make braised fish for everyone tonight.” Xylia planned to show everyone her skills tonight.

While Zahn and the others were fishing, Michelle and Donald picked a pile of tomatoes and eggplants from the vegetable garden beside them. They also dug up a pile of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

During the day, they walked around the fruit garden for the entire day. When they returned at night, everyone was a little tired, but they had gained a lot today. Sharon and the others picked a lot of green vegetables in the picking garden and even caught a few big fish.

After returning to the apartment at night, Xylia cooked while the other girls helped. After almost two hours, the table was finally filled with dishes.

“We’re in for a treat today,” Wallace said.

“Quick, try this braised fish. It’S my wife’s specialty,” Georg said proudly.

Xylia looked at her husband’s proud expression and felt a little gratified. When she was young, she was also a famous actress in the entertainment industry. She gave up her career for her family and got married and had children at the peak of her popularity.

All these years, her husband and children had been her entire life. She had stayed at home to take care of her husband and raise her children. She had made good dishes and had gone from a career woman to a housewife. She had become a typical good wife and mother.

“Wow, this fish looks appetizing,” Zahn praised.

“It looks, smells, and tastes good. It’S more delicious than the food I eat in many cafeterias, ” Michelle praised.

“It’s even better than my house auntie’s cooking. If you apply for a nanny job, how many nannies will lose their jobs?” Hazel said happily. Her original intention was to joke and praise Xylia’s cooking.

However, the words said by the person came across differently to the person who heard it. These words made Xylia feel very upset. She had not had her own career for so many years, and all her sense of accomplishment came from her husband and children. In the eyes of many people, a full-time housewife was equivalent to a full-time nanny. She gradually lost her confidence, and she was especially afraid that others would say that she was her husband and child’s nanny.

Sharon saw Xylia’s injured expression and tried to smooth things over. “Meat dishes are especially difficult to make. When can I make them as delicious as Sister Xylia?s?”

“That’s right. The few of us are to be green with envy of your cooking skills,” Michelle said with a smile.

“My husband will definitely be green with envy. To have such a virtuous wife,” Hazel said with a smile as she looked at Zahn.

Zahn smiled and did not say anything.

Xylia had been a full-time housewife for a long time and had not had her own career and life for too long. She had seen Sharon and the others online. She felt that they were young and beautiful on stage and in front of the camera, just like her younger self.

“It’S not that exaggerated.” Xylia still smiled. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. “All these years, I’ve been cooking three meals a day for my husband and son. After cooking more, I’ve naturally become proficient.”

“Sister Xylia, you’re too humble,” Donald said.

Everyone chatted about their own matters as they ate. They shared about how they met their other half and couples with children mostly talked about their own children. Wallace listened to them talk about the joy and sorrow of having children and felt very envious. He felt that he and Sharon should consider this matter..
