The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine-Chapter 294 - Culinary Contest

The man on the ground felt that he had simply spoken the truth and refused to apologize.

However, Finn Taylor was never going to allow anyone to speak ill of his partner.?‘I don’t even say anything about her. Who are you to spout such nonsense?’

With a skilled move, Finn Taylor landed a kick on that man’s neck.

The latter’s face flushed red, and he felt as though he was about to suffocate.

Finn Taylor grabbed him up from the floor and slapped him in the face no less than 20 times. “I’m saying it again. Apologize.”

Eventually, that man was subdued by the other’s strong aura. He stuttered but still spat out clearly, “I’m sorry.”

Finn Taylor was never an unreasonable person, but he couldn’t simply let the other man off because the latter had indeed insulted his wife. Yet, he would be the one at fault if he were to pursue the matter any further.

Seeing the state Yvette Larson was in, Finn Taylor was almost certain that she wouldn’t be able to pick out any ingredients alone, so he helped her out.

Along the way home, he gave his wife clear instructions on how to make some simple dishes.

Yvette Larson didn’t disappoint, and she managed to repeat all of the steps back to her husband. Unfortunately, cooking wasn’t a matter of memorizing steps but training through experience.

To be honest, Finn Taylor was worried about his wife.

When they arrived home, Finn Taylor spotted his mom eating some fried shrimp.

“You guys are finally back; I would’ve starved to death if you took any longer. Thank god Megan made something for me to eat.”

Her son clenched his fist, incensed.?‘I had taken the effort to go out to get groceries with my wife. However, not only does my mother show no concern toward us, but she is also only concerned about another girl. What does she mean by that?’

“Now that you’re back, hurry up and get down to cooking. I want to see your culinary skills.” ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Although Yvette Larson felt uncomfortable with the situation, she had no choice but to enter the kitchen. She was Wendy Jensen’s daughter-in-law after all—it was only right that she swallowed her pride and endured this.

Soon, all kinds of sounds could be heard from the kitchen. It sounded as though Yvette Larson was fighting a world war in there.

Worried, her husband was about to check on her when he was unfortunately stopped at the door. “Stop right there!”

He turned back. “What’s wrong?”

“A man should never be in the kitchen. Why are you going there?”

Ignoring his mother, Finn Taylor walked straight in.

Boom!?

The moment he walked into the kitchen, the pan erupted in flames.

Yvette Larson was scared stiff. Thankfully, her husband came just in time to cover the pan in her place.

In an instant, the fire was extinguished.

Wendy Jensen happened to walk in at just that moment. She then picked the lid up and walked off without a word.

Yvette Larson had spotted her mother-in-law eating Megan Daimler’s fried shrimp, so she wanted to make that dish too. She even promised herself that she’d make something even better than the other!

However, the shrimp in the pan were now charred beyond recognition.

It wasn’t just Wendy Jensen who wouldn’t be able to stomach that; even she herself wouldn’t.

Yet, the next scene stunned both women.

Finn Taylor scooped up all the shrimp from the pan before starting to savor them.

‘Er…’?The sight dumbfounded them.

Even Yvette Larson thought that it wasn’t right for her husband to do so.

“Don’t eat this, Finn. It’s true that my culinary skills aren’t up to par; I’ll work hard to improve.” She walked over, wanting to take the dish away.

Yet, Finn Taylor picked up a shrimp and fed it to her. “Taste it.”

Yvette Larson knew that it would taste awful, yet her husband had already tasted it. Out of respect, she eventually picked up a shrimp and tasted it. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Her face was filled with complete disbelief the moment she placed the shrimp in her mouth.?‘This… It’s delicious. Something is wrong. How could that be? I don’t cook so well.’?

Yvette Larson could hardly believe what was going on. As such, she picked up a second piece of shrimp, realizing that the flavors were growing on her.

Now, the couple was practically fighting with each other for what remained of the dish.

Their strange behavior confused Wendy Jensen.?‘Does it really taste that good, or are they just putting on an act for me? But looking at their expressions, it doesn’t look like they’re lying.’

Intent on exposing the couple, Wendy Jensen walked over, picked up a piece of shrimp, and ate it. However, she was shocked after doing so.

Words couldn’t describe how delectable the dish was!

‘B-but we all saw how Yvette Larson was in the kitchen earlier!’

It was obvious that Yvette Larson’s dish won over Megan Daimler’s.

Of course, Wendy Jensen wasn’t one to lie for the sake of keeping her dignity—that was the difference between her and Linda James.

She simply walked away, unwilling to say another word.

Only after she left did Yvette Larson turn to her husband. “What’s going on?”

She wasn’t a fool and didn’t believe that her culinary skills were that impressive.

“I added something while plating it.”

Yvette Larson knew that her spouse must’ve done something to it. There was no way she could’ve whipped up such a delicious dish.

“It’s so difficult to deal with in-laws.” Yvette Larson hugged her husband, pouting gloomily.

Finn Taylor had been living with the Larson family for the past three years and had endured whatever the family had thrown at him.

Now, things were different.

Wendy Jensen was starting to make things difficult for her now, and she was in no place to retort the former as her daughter-in-law.

“Shall we buy another house and move out?”

“No way.” Yvette Larson rejected that suggestion right away. It wasn’t because she didn’t want to spend that money. After all, buying another house wouldn’t be difficult for her.

However, she knew that she couldn’t shy away from this problem forever. She’d eventually have to deal with this relationship.

“Let’s go shopping in the afternoon,” Wendy Jensen said as she walked out of her room before returning to the room again.

She wasn’t discussing it with them but informing them. It was as though she was giving a command.

Finn Taylor had the urge to rush up and have a chat with his mother, but his wife pulled him back.

“I’m the one at fault. Mom has been here for so long, but I haven’t bought her anything. It’s just as well that we go out this afternoon so that I can get her some necessities.”

Finn Taylor was speechless.

“Oh right, is there anything she likes or hates?”

“She’s unpredictable.”

Wendy Jensen always thought of herself as the best. As such, she didn’t have any fixed preferences.. In her own words, she couldn’t let her subordinates get to know her too well.
