Chapter 168
Elvira noticed Zach’s stiffness and stared at the beautiful woman opposite her. She blinked and looked at the two of them curiously.
“Zach, my dear son, it’s been such a while. I’ve missed you so much,” Skylar greeted Zach with a smile.
Elvira spat out the drink she had just taken a sip of. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and turned her face to the side so that she did not ruin the food on the table.
“Mom, you’re back.” Zach was also quite surprised. Previously, Grace had said that Skylar would return to the country soon. He did not expect it to be so soon.
“Yeah. Are you surprised? Zach, I’m so happy to see you again.” Skylar stood up and hugged Zach. She patted his back.
Elvira held back her cough and looked at the two of them. She was also extremely surprised. She did not expect that she would actually hit Skylar’s car during the first time they met.
“Zach, you’re really amarinig. You married Elvira, who’s such a nice girl. I’m so happy.” Skylar smiled brightly. She went to hug Elvira after she let go of Zach.
She wanted to hug Elvira, her beautiful and adorable daughter–in–law, the moment they met, but she was afraid that it would scare Elvira, so she did not dare to do so.
Now that they had acknowledged each other, Skylar could naturally hug her.
Elvira got up and hugged her Skylar.
“Ma’am, I really didn’t expect you to be… Zach’s mom.” Elvira looked at Skylar uneasily. She no longer felt at ease like before.
Skylar immediately turned around and took out a gift box from her bag. She said, “Just call me Mom.”
Elvira glanced at Zach. Seeing that he was looking at her with a smile, she called out gracefully, “Mom.”
“How nice. Take it.” Skylar handed the gift box to Elvira.
“Mom, this is not necessary.” Elvira wanted to decline.
“You must take it. If you don’t take it, I’ll be upset. Also, I bought all the clothes for you just now. I’ll have them delivered to your house.” Skylar happily pulled Elvira and Zach to sit and asked the waiter to serve a few more dishes. She planned to have a chat with the couple.
When Elvira saw that Zach was happy, she was also happy for him. When she heard Zach’s description, she thought that Skylar did not value him very much. Now, Elvira supposed she was wrong. Skylar loved Zach very much.
“Mom, you just spent one million dollars.” Elvira felt that her small house could not fit more clothes.
lit up. She “You’re my daughter–in–law. This is the other gift to you. I don’t think it’s enough. It’s not satisfying enough. Let’s shop again tomorrow. I still have a lot of things to buy for you,” Skylar said happily. When she looked at Elvira, her eyes looked like a child who had found her favorite doll. She felt like she could dress

every day.
“My house is too small,” Elvira quickly explained.
“Small? How small? I will buy you a big house!” Skylar said generously.
Elvira was speechless.
Skylar was rich and domineering, making Elvira a bit scared.

She quickly looked at Zach–for help, hoping that he would say something to stop Skylar from doing such a crazy thing.
“Mom, don’t buy it for now. Elvira is usually more frugal and doesn’t like to be too extravagant. Besides, I like our current home very much and don’t want to move.” Zach spoke up for Elvira.
Skylar listened to Zach seriously and asked, “Is that so? Do you have an empty room? I don’t have a place to stay yet. Can 1 stay with you?”
“Of course. We still have two empty rooms at home. You’re welcome to stay with us, Mom.” Elvira was very happy with the invitation. She knew that Zach missed Skylar too. She thought that if she let Skylar stay at home, he would be able to spend more time with Skylar.
“Elvira, you’re such a sweet girl. I just like you so much!” Skylar held Elvira’s hand and was extremely touched.
“Mom, Zach, hurry up and eat. I’ll cook tonight and let you try my cooking!” Elvira volunteered.
Skylar said, “Really? I want you to try my cooking too, Elvira.”
Zach was diligently helping them with the food. They did the same. The atmosphere during the meal was especially harmonious.
After the meal, Elvira still had to go back to the company to deal with official business. She asked Zach to send Skylar home
first.
Actually, she also wanted to give Zach and Skylar some space to be alone. They had not seen each other for so many years, so Elvira thought they definitely had a lot to talk about.
Elvira returned to the company and quickly settled everything before driving home. On the way, she went to the supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients. Since she had promised Skylar to cook a meal for her, she could not go back on her word.
When Elvira got home, Skylar had already started preparing dinner. She was wearing an apron and busying herself in the kitchen. Zach was on the phone. When he heard Elvira’s voice, he hung up the phone and walked over to take the ingredients from her.
“Why did you buy so many? It’s so tiring to carry them.” Zach’s heart ached for Elvira who was carrying too many things. He put down the things and quickly looked at her hands, afraid that they were hurting.
“They’re not many. Mom is staying with us, which makes the three of us here, so I have to prepare more food.” Elvira smiled. She changed her clothes and washed her hands before going to the kitchen to help.
Skylar got her out of the kitchen firmly and told her to wait for the food.
Elvira asked Zach curiously, “Is Mom’s cooking good?”
“From what I remember, she doesn’t know how to cook.” Zach’s expression was a little embarrassed. He thought that Skylar didn’t know how to cook and that she had never been able to learn it well.
Elvira smiled awkwardly and said, “Maybe… Mom has learned it in the past few years.”
“Don’t eat when the food is on the table later. I’ll eat first. You can eat after I’ve checked that it’s okay,” said Zach. He was worried that Elvira would fall ill after trying Skylar’s food. This had really happened before, so he had to be wary.
Elvira almost laughed out loud.
She did not expect Skylar, who looked so beautiful, to have such an embarrassing history..
The smell of food was strong in the kitchen. Zach asked Elvira to rest for a while. He went to the kitchen to see if he could

Chapter 168
Elvira stood in the living room and looked at Zach and Skylar who were busy in the kitchen as she showed a blissful smile. She really liked such a happy atmosphere, which made her feel warm.
In the past, when she was in the Willis family’s place, she had never felt any warmth. That place was always cold. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get even a small smile from her family. Everyone was selfish and aloof. She thought that it was not home at all, but hell.
During the meal, Zach was determined to try the food first. After testing it, he let Elvira eat it.
Skylar knew that her cooking wasn’t good, but today was her first day staying at Elvira’s house. She had to cook a meal for her to express her sincerity, and Skylar had really worked very hard. Every step was done according to the instructions on her phone.
“This… I think we can eat it without worry. It tastes alright.” Zach was a little surprised that Skylar could really make dishes that wouldn’t give him food poisoning.
Skylar immediately patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. She said proudly, “I knew it. I’ve been cooking seriously. I’m sure it’s delicious!”
