Caroline sent a message to Blake, “Are you coming home? I’ve made dimmer and I’m waiting for you.
After sending the message, she took a photo of the seafood spread on the table and sent it to him.
In less than ten seconds, she received a reply from Blake, “Wait for me for another ten minutes, I’m almost at the neighborhood.”
Caroline didn’t reply again. She casually posted the photo she had just taken on her WhatsApp Status.
There weren’t many people in hier WhatsApp, and most of them were just advertisements.
So she didn’t usually share her joy on WhatsApp

For the first time ever, she posted on WhatsApp Status today.
Shortly after, she received a WhatsApp message on b
“Just saw your WhatsApp Status, you’re having a seafood feast seafood tonight too. Have a look!”
Following that, Caroline received another photo.
ight! What a coincidence, I’m having
The table was filled with a variety of seafood, looking quite sumptuous.
“It looks very sumptuous, very appetizing.” Caroline knew it was from the Sheosea Restaurant, but she couldn’t mention it at the moment.
“This is the dish my future daughter–in–law made. Although it’s not as good as yours, it’s still decent!” Teresa replied with a smiley face, giving the impression that she was very happy and satisfied at the
moment.
Caroline looked shocked and exclaimed, “Wow! Your daughter–in–law made this dish? I thought it was made by a professional chef! Teresa, please don’t praise me; your daughter–in–law’s cooking looks better than mine.”
Teresa didn’t dwell on that topic and instead said, “By the way, there’s a food competition at the Traxon Hotel on Saturday. Would you like to participate?”
When Caroline still hadn’t replied after a long while, Teresa added, “Although you are young, your cooking skills are not inferior to those chefs with decades of experience. You just lack opportunities. Participating
in more food competitions can help more people get to know you.”
Caroline agreed and replied, “Okay, I’ll participate.”
Teresa then explained some of the competition rules to her.

On Saturday, Caroline arrived at the Traxon Hotel and saw Teresa waiting at the hotel entrance.
She hurried over to Teresa and smiled. “I’m sorry for making you wait here.”
Teresa replied, “It’s okay, I just got here too. Let’s go inside.”

Chapter 116 Cooking Competition
The food competition was held on the top floor of the Hotel.
Cart Bear’s
Upon arrival, Caroline locked at the luxurious decorations around her and the noble aura emanating from the people in the venue.
She understood that today was probably another gathering place for the elite.
However, for her, as long as she cooked with heart, it didn’t matter whether it was for the elite or not, it had nothing to do with her.
According to the competition rules, participants were paired up to compete, and the winning team members would then proceed to the final round.
Soon it was time to form teams, and Caroline quickly canned the few participants.
There were six men, ranging in age from around 50 to 80 or 40, and one man who looked only a few years older than her.
The only other women competing were herself and another middle–aged woman.
Caroline’s first thought was to team up with the middle–aged woman.
She walked up to the woman and casually linked arms with Shall we team up?”
- er.
“Miss, it’s just the two of us women here.
The woman turned her head, looking Caroline
o and down.
Seeing her smooth skin and youthful appearance, the woman frowned and pushed her hand away.
“Just you? I’m afraid you can’t even cook at home, so what can you cook here?”
Hearing the unfriendly tone, Caroline’s smile froze on her face.
Although she felt uncomfortable, she still said to the wom young, but I have cooked many dishes…”

The woman furrowed her brows tightly, clearly impatient to hear more from her. “Alright, go someone else! I’ve been a chef for 20 years. I can’t be held back by a little girl like you and miss out on the prize money.”
Pointing to a pile of gifts not far away, she continued, “See that? The champion prize is a standing air conditioner. I checked online … It’s worth over 10,000 dollars, so I’m determined to win that championship today.”
Seeing her confident demeanor, Caroline no longer insisted.
Soon, the woman found a teammate, and the others also found partners, leaving only Caroline and the man who was only a few years older than her.
Their eyes met, and after a few seconds of silence, Caroline stepped forward to speak to him. She said, “It looks like we have to be partners.”
The man seemed indifferent. “It’s okay. The important thing is to participate.”
