The Hot Mom

CHAPTER 5

Neilson’s POV—

Seafood Soup was served along with Crispy lamb and Chicken fries. I didn’t eat a bit as I was completely focused on her voice.

“ Mr. Luna, why are you not eating anything? Didn’t you like the soup?” Tracy mewled beside me.

I took a spoonful and filled my mouth. The aroma of the food was good, and so was the taste. I closed my eyes trying to silently feel the taste. It had the hidden ingredients. Yes, it had Love and care mixed in it. I didn’t realise that in this trance I have kept the spoon at the side of the plate.

“ Juli ! How have you made the Soup and the Chicken? See our special guest is not even able to eat. We already have the best chefs making food for us, what was the need to make it yourself even?” Tracy was slightly yelling at her Cousin Juliana when I was immersed in the flavour wondering how on earth can a girl so young make so nice food?

“ I am sorry Mr. Luna, my sister insisted to make starters and deserts for the family and close guests. You don’t have to eat the soup, more food will be served.” Saying this Tracy pulled the bowl of soup to the side when I held her wrist with my palm without opening my eyes to stop her and at the same time a moan escaped my mouth, “Mmmmm…. Too good! Just the one I wish to have!” I said the last part opening my eyes, “May I have some more after I finish this? Please?” I continued this looking at Juliana who was now sitting beside her mother Bella and her somewhat disappointed face brightened up immediately.

Tracy looked at me in shock, her mouth wide opened.

Juliana’s POV—

I instructed the maids, Emma to go and get the deserts ready to be served after the main course, and Sophie to stay and serve the food. I sat down on one of the empty chairs beside my Mom.

Sophie has poured some soup for me and was serving the lamb and the chicken. Today I have made the Starters and the desert. I love to cook something whenever there is a family dinner and also often when special guests are invited. I was quite contented with the Seafood Soup that I had made. Mom always says that, I make it better than even her. Although I don’t agree with her, because My Mom’s cooking is best in the world!

I was thinking all this when I could hear Tracy yell slightly, “ Juli ! How have you made the Soup and the Chicken? See our special guest is not even able to eat. We already have the best chefs making food for us, what was the need to make it yourself even?”

I was a bit annoyed with my younger sister. Although she was only one year younger to me yet she most of the time behaved like an arrogant little girl and I always have to take her tantrums and excuse her misbehaviour being the elder and matured one.

I also knew that replying to her will only create a chaos, since Aunt Roselin would be furious to see her daughter being told, and this would soon lead to Uncle Donald being Pressurized emotionally to scold me, which would not happen because my mother is not the one to tolerate someone telling me off when it is not any of my faults. Hence it will enrage Aunt Roselin and Tracy, who will start shouting and yelling and cause a complete chaos.

I don’t want any of these. At least I try in my own way to handle the situation without causing a family fight. I have promised my late father, that I will always keep the family together and love them, no matter what. My father always loved his family and he did everything in his power to keep it from falling apart. I remember him giving away a considerable part of the Company shares to Uncle Donald and making him one of the Board-Member. Although Uncle Donald was never interested in running business because he always thought that he could never be able to handle it the way my Dad and Mom did, yet he had to accept, as Aunt Roselin had demanded then, that she would leave the house and stay separately with Uncle Donald and littleTracy if the shares were not given to her husband.

I remember how she screamed and yelled and ultimately the shares were transferred with a condition that they will lose ownership of the shares if they leave the family. Also that after Uncle Donald, the shares will pass on to Tracy if only she completes her Masters and can earn and make a bank balance of at least ten Million Dollars without taking it out of the Company account. 

I remember Dad often expressing his sadness to me, saying how he wanted the family to be held together by love, care and understanding. Not by force which he had to exert for the time being to not let the family get divided. I promised him that one day I will bring the family together by heart and bind them with love. I promised when I was 10 years old. Now 13 years have passed but it remains the same. I did everything that I could and even I could not or rather I should not to save the family but I didn’t succeed yet! Tracy doesn’t respect me or love me. Aunt Roselin thinks that if I was not there then Tracy could be the sole owner of the Company. She neither cared about me nor my mother.

Uncle Donald feels for us but is helpless since he fears Aunt Roselin.

Thinking all these in my head I didn’t realise that my head was tilted down and I had a disappointed look on my face. My thoughts were interrupted again as I heard Tracy apologise.

“ I am sorry Mr. Luna, my sister insisted to make starters and deserts for the family and close guests. You don’t have to eat the soup, more food will be served.”  Saying this Tracy pulled the bowl of soup to the side.

“Oh My God! Apologising and Tracy just don’t go along at all ”I was just thinking, when I saw her wrist being held by a firm hand to stop her from removing the bowl. It was Mr. Luna who kept his eyes closed while holding her wrist and at the same time a moan escaped his mouth, “Mmmmm…. Too good!” Tracy was confused and I giggled as I understood clearly.

 “Just the one I wish to have!” he said this part opening his eyes and giving me a meaningful glance. “May I have some more after I finish this? Please?” he continued saying looking at me and as I understood that he liked my cooking my face brightened up immediately.

Tracy’s Jaws dropped in shock !
