Chapter-81: if I ruined my face…
This practical experience, even if her life is at the tip of the sword is a good thing to learn from. Fortunately she survived and turned the disaster into the blessing. But she is not completely out of it and analyzed it carefully.
Only because of this she can sleep peacefully at night. Jessica Lark stared at her blankly, envious. How could someone be so powerful and fearless? "You said if my face is ruined..."
If beauty were gone, those dirty calculations would disappear. Before she could finish, Wendy Lark interrupted with a frown, "Don't be silly, beauty is innocent, don't give in easily, why punish yourself with other people's mistakes?"
"Only when you are strong can you protect yourself and have more choices. This is my advice to you." Whether she listens or not is her business. Everyone has to walk their own path.
A word of enlightenment awakened the dreamer, and Jessica Lark's lifeless eyes became bright, "I understand, thank you, third sister." Wendy Lark got up early in the morning and leaned against the window to look outside.
The weather was good, so it was time to get ready. The cook brought the food over attentively, "Miss Wendy, breakfast is ready. How about you try it?"
It is a bowl of fragrant stewed eggs and two plump white sugar buns. Only Wendy Lark has such special treatment. Everyone else eats porridge from a big pot. Wendy Lark scooped a mouthful of egg custard and put it into her mouth, commenting.
"It's cooked to the right temperature, not too overcooked or too tender, but a little bland."
"The sugar buns are soft and sweet. If the full score is 10, this one can be given 8 points." The cook smiled happily, as if he had received a great benefit. "You taught me well. Master Wendy Lark is also helping me."
After the cook left, Wilson Lark seemed to be hesitant to speak. Wendy Lark noticed it, "Dad, what do you want to say?"
Wilson Lark hesitated for a while, "I... think cooking is interesting, I... want to learn it." He often helped his daughter and developed a strong interest after watching it for a long time. Wendy Lark thought it was a big deal, but this is it?
"Sure, I'll teach you." She had too much to do and it was impossible for her to be a cook forever, so she kept teaching the cook. The cook especially cherished the learning opportunity, practiced hard every day, and made rapid progress.
If her father Wilson Lark wants to learn, then we can learn together. "You don't object?" Wilson Lark was extremely surprised. Being a cook was considered a lowly job in the eyes of the world and others looked down upon it.
"Why would you object?" Wendy Lark looked confused. "As long as you like it…" The teacher who taught her to cook was the state banquet chef and many famous chefs. They were very respected and even the top leaders praised them.
Wilson Lark looked at his wife, "Wife." Mary was the person who knew him best. Her husband had been locked up at home, living a confused and depressed life, and it was rare for him to have something he liked.
"We are not the family members of officials now, so we don't need to be respectable. If you like, do it. It's hard work. Take a break when you are tired."
Wilson Lark looked at his wife and daughter with emotion. They always supported him unconditionally. This is what family is. A voice came from outside, "Miss Wendy, we are about to set off."
"Coming right up…." This time, Wendy Lark had two more bodyguards around her, "Guard Sam, come and help me drive."
She pointed to another carriage and said, "Guard Leon, go over and drive that carriage."
"Yes." The two were very obedient. In this way, Wilson Lark and his wife can sit comfortably in the carriage and rest. "Big brother, second brother, you two can take turns driving the mule cart."
"Okay." The Tom Lark brothers were quite happy that they could take turns to rest. Everyone's eyes turned red with envy. The second wife's life was getting better and better, and she even had a coachman to hire.
Just as they were about to set off, two carriages came galloping over and blocked their way. "Wait a minute, please tell me, is this the Lark family from the capital?"
"Yes, what's up?"
"Excuse me, who is Mr. Wilson Lark?"
Wilson Lark always felt that this scene was a little familiar, "I am."
The coachman in front stopped the carriage and took the initiative to introduce himself, "I am the housekeeper of the Cooper family, and I have come here specially to cancel the engagement."
The Cooper family…? The eldest son's in-laws' family…? Wilson Lark was stunned. They finally came. He was about to speak when the curtain of the carriage behind him was lifted, revealing a beautiful yet sad face.
"This is the fourth young lady of the Yates family." Wilson Lark was stunned and confused. The fourth lady of the Yates family was the wife he had arranged for his second son.
Why are they here with the Cooper family? There is no need for the person to be present in person to break off the engagement. Butler Cooper handed over a gift list and said politely, "This is a gift from our Cooper family. Please accept it."
A carriage, two beddings, ten rolls of white silk, ten rolls of silk cloth, one hundred kilograms of rice, and one hundred kilograms of flour. These were exactly the compensation for breaking off the engagement that Wendy Lark had asked for, and nothing was missing.
The Cooper family is quite particular. They didn't say it was compensation, but as a gift. When relatives and friends go on a long journey, they will give some money as travel expenses which can be called a gift too.
