Chapter 48
George was so excited that he didn't pay attention before. When he got the secret recipe again, he saw the label on it: Beef must be from veal that is less than one year old, born in September, and slaughtered in May.

Of course, there were some other outrageous requests on the menu.

Looking at the secret recipe, George's face became more and more ugly.In the end, he crumpled up the paper angrily, threw it into the trash, and complained: "Shit, I knew she didn't like me, and she never regarded me as a family member."

As the saying goes: The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

This time, George was clearly heartbroken.

"George, don't be like this, Mom is not that kind of person. She was just joking with you..." Mary comforted her husband: "I will discuss it with her again and let her give you the secret recipe."

"No, I don't care." George was angry and continued to complain: "You are just a family, don't care about my feelings as an outsider."

"Please, don't say that about George..." Mary tried to reassure her husband.

At this time, a red mini sports car parked outside the yard of Cooper's house.

"Hello, Mary, George~" Pastor Jeff sat in the co-pilot seat, stretched out half of his body, and greeted with a smile: "What are you eating, I can smell the aroma ten kilometers away."

Mary is a Christian, and her expression became more reserved after meeting Pastor Jeff.She smiled and responded: "We are having a picnic, and there are some barbecues here. Do you want to try them?"

Christians have very loose religious rules and can eat meat, drink a small amount of alcohol, and even smoke.

It's just that Christianity in some areas, 'because smoking is harmful to health', will mandate that Christians are not allowed to smoke.

Of course, the local church, because Pastor Jeff is mild-mannered, doesn't have that kind of rule.

"Thank you, no. We just had dinner in the restaurant." Pastor Jeff declined the invitation.

"Oh, yes," said Mary, "that's such a pity."

Although the Cooper family and Pastor Jeff are neighbors, out of respect for the pastor, Mary seldom disturbs Jeff in private, so there are not many contacts between the two families.

At this moment, even if Mary wanted to chat with Pastor Jeff, she couldn't find a topic for a while.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Judging from the situation, at this time, Pastor Jeff should leave wisely.

However, he kept the smile on his face and watched the Cooper family eating.

Just when the atmosphere was about to reach the critical point of embarrassment, Pastor Jeff had nothing to say: "George, today's football game was great. And Mike and little George, you are all doing well..."

"Thank you." George replied in a low spirited manner.

He is still thinking about the secret recipe of barbecue.

Mike nodded in response, and his attention was no longer on Pastor Jeff, but on the woman wearing a red dress next to him.

This was the first time Mike met Pastor Jeff's new wife.

This woman was wearing a red low-cut long dress, her skin was as white as bloodless.

Moreover, this woman's voluptuous and plump figure is definitely no less than Amy's.However, compared to his figure, his temperament exudes a very "cold" feeling.

Facing Mike's gaze, the woman showed a perfect smile.

Under the exquisite makeup, her charming eyes are very charming.

This woman was exceptional in every sense of the word.However, the sense she was giving Mike at this moment was very bad.

The sixth sense told Mike that the last time this "dangerous" feeling appeared was on Jennifer.

In order not to show any abnormality, Mike continued to eat with his head down, but he couldn't help but frown if there was a smell that seemed to be wafting from his nose.

The stench is hard to describe. It's like the rotten smell of a long-dead rat in the sewer.

……

On the other side, Pastor Jeff chatted awkwardly for a few more words, but still had no intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Mary took the initiative to ask, "Pastor Jeff, do you need help with anything?"

"Cough~" Pastor Jeff's mind was seen through, he straightened his tie in embarrassment, and said: "The thing is, the church is planning to travel in the countryside this weekend for a picnic. It's just that Aunt Susan, who is in charge of logistics, has not been in good health recently. , may not be able to go. So..."

Aunt Susan's identity, to put it nicely, is Pastor Jeff's secretary.In effect, she was the church's equivalent of a handyman.

The church members had a picnic and she was required to act as a cook.

Mary understood what Pastor Jeff meant, and she said with interest: "If Susan is really inconvenient, I can help."

"That's great." That's what Pastor Jeff was waiting for. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mary. You just need to prepare some food that day. The work is very simple."

"No problem." Mary assured her: "I will call my mother. The secret barbecue she made is delicious and guaranteed to satisfy everyone."

But Mary didn't notice that when she mentioned Grandma Connie and the barbecue, George's face turned even darker.

Over there, Pastor Jeff's goal was achieved, and he said goodbye to the Cooper family with a smile.

Then he said to his wife: "Serena, let's go."

"Okay." Serena responded, then glanced greedily at Mike, who had his head lowered, and drove away.

Waiting for the car to go away, Little George excitedly said to Mike: "Did you see that woman is so beautiful. I think she is much more attractive than the girls at school. Pastor Jeff is really blessed..."

Compared with Pastor Jeff's ordinary appearance, Serena is indeed "beautiful".

Moreover, the eldest sister, who has the attributes of a wife, is astonishingly lethal to a young man like Little George.

"Little George, don't discuss others behind their backs. It's rude." Mary, a Christian, was immersed in the upcoming church work. When she heard her eldest son's words, she immediately stopped him.

Seeing his mother's stern look, little George curled his lips and did not dare to say anything more.

Then, while still at the family dinner, Mary began to think about the work of the church.After a while, she hurried back to her room and started preparing for the weekend job.

It was obvious that she took the matter of temporary workers in the church very seriously.

With Mary's departure, this family dinner also came to an end.

As the children left, in the end, only George was left in the small yard, drinking and dazing while looking at the grill.

On the way back, Mike was still thinking about the woman in the red dress.Experience told him that this woman was not simple.

However, after thinking about it again and again, he decided to observe it for a while.If the other party didn't pose a threat to him, Mike wouldn't be too troublesome.

He knew very well that he was still in the developmental stage and his future was bright, so there was no need to get involved in dangerous things so early.

After putting the thoughts in his mind aside, Mike pushed open the door of Connie's grandma's house.

In the living room, Grandma Connie was lying on her side on the sofa.As soon as she saw Mike coming back, she came over and said, "How is it? After I left, was George very depressed? Tell me quickly..."

It seems that Grandma Connie was really deliberately teasing George, her son-in-law.
