Wesley said, "In short, your mother has been cooking for her family since she was young and is especially talented in it. If there were any weddings in the surrounding villages, she would go and help. She was quite famous in the village from preparing the ingredients to cooking..."
After that, Wesley recounted the rest of the tale. Claire had excellent results in high school and had a high chance of becoming the first university student in the village.
However, Claire's family was poor. They hoped she would get married soon and get betrothal gifts for her family. They were also afraid they couldn't control Claire after she became educated. Thus, they refused to fork out money for her to continue her studies.
Claire could only drop out of school. She planned to go out to work to earn money for her family in exchange for freedom.
Her high school teacher took pity on her and introduced her to a job as a waitress at a hotel in Kitmore City. Claire was excellent at her job but felt there was no future in being a waitress, so she applied to help in the kitchen.
In the two years Claire was in the kitchen, she did everything. She was not afraid of hardship or fatigue. She even secretly learned how to cook.
Wesley recounted proudly, "The hotel often entertained politicians and foreign guests. The chefs were excellent. They saw how Claire was down-to-earth, diligent, and serious despite her youth and beauty. When they were free, they would teach her. After a long time, your mother's food was finally good enough to be served to the politicians.
"The restaurant wanted to nurture your mother, but your mother couldn't let go of her dream of studying at the university. Moreover, Kitmore University is near the hotel. When your mother is free, she will go to Kitmore University. She really wanted to study there."
Later on, Claire met a chef from Kitmore University's canteen and went to apply for a job there. She was successfully hired. It was there that she met Wesley.
Speaking of this, Wesley looked gently at his wife. "The canteen staff usually wear masks. It's hard to tell what they look like.
"I ran a little late doing my homework one afternoon. When I went to get food, the canteen was empty. Only Claire's booth was still open. Claire happened to take off her mask and got ready to close her booth.
"The moment I saw Claire, I thought I saw a fairy." Wesley seemed to only have eyes for his wife then, as though his children no longer existed. "I was a bookworm at that time. I never thought of dating or getting married, and I didn't think girls were anything special. But when I saw Claire, I felt we were destined to be together forever."
The children were all drawn in by Wesley's story. Even Arthur stopped playing his game and looked up, listening intently.
Claire's face was red, and her eyes were filled with love. She appeared like a young girl who had just fallen in love. Her voice was even a little shy and passionate. "When I saw your father, my heart almost stopped beating. All I thought was, how could there be such a handsome boy in this world?
"He was tall and handsome, and his eyes were bright and spirited. He looked so studious, like a professor of old. And I like and respect well-educated people the most.
"We looked at each other for a long time." Claire paused before going on, "Uh, it probably isn't that long, but we lost track of time and didn't know how much time had passed. It wasn't until an older cook in the canteen asked me why I wasn't done cleaning up that I reacted."
Maria's eyes lit up when she heard this. She said excitedly and expectantly, "Dad, Mom, this was love at first sight, right?"
Wesley looked at his wife affectionately. "Yes, we fell in love at first sight."
Athena imagined that scene in a daze.
A young man and woman, who were dressed simply and had outstanding looks, fell in love at first sight in the most ordinary place. Through the booth, they looked at each other deeply and expressed their naive and pure love with their eyes. It was so romantic just thinking about it.
