Austin blushed.
Upon seeing his reaction, Serenity understood everything.
She asked curiously, “What’s her name? Where is she from?”
Austin looked toward the house. After ensuring that his parents would not walk out, he answered, “She’s from Satbury, located within Windermere. Her last name is O’Connor.”
“Windermere is so far.”
Serenity was stunned that Grandma May would choose a granddaughter-in-law from such a far place.
Windermere…
“Is Satbury far from Havenmill?”
“They’re neighboring cities located not too far from each other.”
Austin was puzzled. “Why did you mention Havenmill? Do you have friends from there?”
Serenity replied, “No. My best friend is Jasmine. I don’t have any friends in Havenmill. I just recalled someone saying that there’s a family in Havenmill that has a long history.”
Austin said, “I’m not sure about that. I can look for information on that family from Havenmill after I arrive in Satbury.”
“Have you met Ms. O’Connor before?” Serenity asked.
Austin shook his head. “Nana only gave us photos. She wouldn’t arrange meetings for us. If we want to meet the girls in person, we have to take action ourselves.
“Aside from a photo of Ms. O’Connor, there are a few notes in the information Nana gave me. It says that she’s a food lover but very picky. The chefs working for her family can never satisfy her palate.
Rowan was still a high school student. As studying was his priority, the time he had to brush up on cooking was significantly less.
No matter how particular Grandma May was, she would not distract Rowan from his studies.
He was under a lot of pressure to score well because his cousins and brothers had been exceptional. They had gotten into prestigious universities. Therefore, he thought it would be embarrassing if he failed to get into one.
“I love cooking. I’ve researched recipes for various cuisines, but I’m still not as good as Kevin.”
Austin was worried that he might not get the job.
Serenity smiled. “That’s not true. Even Zachary’s cooking is decent, let alone yours. Kevin hasn’t been cooking lately. His passion for cooking has died down. You’re different.
“Putting all your effort into something you enjoy will give you the best results. Believe in yourself, Austin.”
