0703 Meet
After watching Nell leave, Sierra looked at Lynch aside, "I'm very grateful that you came back. This is our fault..."
She fell silent as she spoke.
Money is really a good thing. If it were Sera in the past, she would definitely not have such complicated thoughts as she does now, nor would she have such a way of expressing herself. While money allows her to enjoy a better life, it also makes her more Be literate.
She knows how to say things properly, like apologizing.
Lynch held her hand and shook his head, "This is your mutual choice. I will respect your wishes. No one will be sorry for anyone. The fact that you can give me life is the greatest gift to me. I have no right to ask you to do anything for me." Apologize to me for your own affairs.”
Sierra smiled and did not continue to discuss this issue. She changed the topic, "You are not in a hurry to leave, are you?"
"No, I'll wait two days before leaving."
"That's just right. I suddenly want to cook. I want to make something for you to eat." There is another sentence she didn't say. There won't be many such opportunities in the future.
In fact, she had already made breakfast for Nell in the morning, the last breakfast.
After returning home, Sierra started asking the maid to prepare the ingredients for the evening, and she declined the invitations of several ladies. Now she just wanted to stay quietly for a while.
The seemingly ordinary divorce actually gave her a certain degree of shock.
In the afternoon, mother and son were watching TV or chatting casually about some common topics.
At five o'clock, Sierra changed into an apron and entered the kitchen.
Lynch helped her.
"I haven't made my own dinner in a long time,"
She said while playing with the kitchen utensils skillfully, "Sometimes I feel like all this is a dream, and nothing is so real."
Dinner in the Federation is the most solemn and sumptuous meal of the three meals a day. It is common to see people in the Federation eating toast for breakfast and toast for lunch. After being hungry all day, they wait for dinner to enjoy themselves.
Starting at around five o'clock, the unemployed women in the Federation will start preparing dinner. Most of them will use some tomatoes and onions as a soup base to make a sauce.
After the sauce is cooked to a certain level, part of it will be taken out as the base for sauces such as steak, and the other part will be added with water and other ingredients to turn into various weird soups.
For the housewives of the Federation, there is nothing that cannot be stewed in a soup pot, and if so, add some tomatoes and onions.
Smelling the unfamiliar smell in his memory, Lynch recalled the past. It was this smell when he came home from school every day.
There was a black and yellow soup pot placed on the charred stove. In fact, the color was not dirty and could not be washed away. It had penetrated into the skin.
There is a simmering tomato soup, some onions, some radishes, and some potatoes.
If it's the day when Nel pays his salary, there will also be some minced beef, some white mushrooms, and a little spice.
At that time, he only had to sit and wait until around 7:30, when Nell came back from the factory, and then he could start eating.
Most of his and Sierra's dinners consisted of fried eggs with some minced meat. Nell had a whole back-cut steak. He was the head of the family and the breadwinner of the family, so he deserved it. Have the best dinner ever.
As for Lynch and Serra, they can eat the leftover tomato and onion sauce from the soup with a meal bag so hard it could swell their toes and eat it with the ground beef.
The tomato and onion sauce is a little sour and a little sweet, and it softens the meal bag at the same time. One mouthful can make people choke to death. At this time, I took a sip of the sour tomato onion soup, potato radish soup, and the whole person felt comfortable.
It's a bit warm, maybe it's the feeling of children, maybe it's the feeling of "home" that literati call it.
But only adults know that this is the helplessness of life.
A little after six o'clock, the mother and son were already sitting at the dining table, and the food was ready. When the last steak was brought over, Sierra took off her apron. She habitually wiped her hands with the apron, and then Set aside.
"I hope my skills haven't deteriorated..." She put the steak on the plate in front of Lynch, and then poured it with tomato and onion sauce.
This sauce is not as bright red as people imagine. In fact, it turns a little yellow at the end of the stew. It has a very fragrant and sour aroma.
Acid means freshness and health. This is a very strange perception. In the Federation, if someone asks you whether a fruit is fresh or not, they must ask you whether it is sweet enough or sour enough.
Lynch said thank you, picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece of beef, covered it with sauce and put it in his mouth.
The tomatoes were completely stewed, and the onion particles were simmered at high temperature for a long time and were so soft that they were almost imperceptible. The whole sauce was mainly fresh and sour and slightly sweet, with some other ingredients added. seasonings, but generally it still revolves around these two flavors.
They are very good at neutralizing the faint fishy smell of blood that overflows from under-cooked steak. It is either myoglobin or blood. If it is blood, it will have a slight fishy smell of beef.
The sour taste also makes people more appetizing.
"Not bad, no different from the past." Lynch commented sincerely, "Very good!"
"This is your grandpa's unique sauce." Sera said with a smile. Every sauce in every family comes from "inheritance." She looked at Lynch and asked, "When can I make this?" Who do you want to pass on this 'secret' to?"
"This is a very personal topic and I don't want to get married in the short term."
"Sorry..." Sierra apologized for this very abrupt question, "Actually, it's better to get married later. At least you will have more choices..."
The mother and son were eating when someone suddenly visited during this time period. This was not a normal time period suitable for visits.
The maid stood outside the restaurant, a little nervous, "It's Mr. Coleman..."
Sierra's expression was a little surprised, the maid was a little embarrassed, and Lynch was a little curious, "Mr. Coleman...do I know him?"
Sierra's expression was a little strange and a little embarrassed, "He is my fitness coach and he is pursuing me." Then she looked at Lynch and said, "Do you want to meet him?"
Lynch hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Not long after, a fitness instructor named Coman came in from outside.
He looked good and in good shape, especially with his broad shoulders and back that contrasted sharply with his slender waist.
In this era when bodybuilding is very popular, people have passively popularized a lot of bodybuilding knowledge, such as the back of a bear and the waist of a bee. These are the aesthetic standards of bodybuilding.
The figure of Mr. Coleman is like this, which is in line with people's perception of physical beauty in this era.
He had ash-blond hair, looked to be in his thirties, and had a smile on his face that wasn't very unpleasant.
When Lynch was looking at Coman, the fitness coach was also looking at Lynch. He quickly recognized Lynch and said, "Oh my God, is it Mr. Lynch?"
He said and looked at Sera, who had some pride and pride on her face, "This is my son."
Joined by Mr. Coleman, the dinner ended quickly. The three of them came to the living room. Sera temporarily left the place on the excuse of getting some tea for the two of them, leaving the space for the two men.
Coman was a little restless at this time, and the quiet atmosphere made him feel a little depressed. He said a little uncomfortably, "I never knew about the relationship between Sera and you. She mentioned you, but didn't say your name. I I’m still a little surprised now…”
At this time, Koeman was as surprised as if he bought a lottery ticket and won the grand prize of the century. Serra is Lynch's wife. This is definitely the big surprise in his life!
If he could hook up with Lynch, he would soon be able to achieve freedom in life. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lynch's look.
At that moment, a biting cold water seemed to pour down from his head. Koeman calmed down and he was sweating a little.
"No concealment, no deception. No matter how you treated this relationship before, even if you are acting, I hope you can perform this scene well. It would be even better if you can perform it for a lifetime."
His tone was very light, without any fireworks, but it put a lot of pressure on Koeman.
Lynch looked up into his eyes, "I don't care if you lied to her before, but you can't lie to her in the future. You know, I'm a rich man."
The phrase "rich people" made Koeman swallow his saliva. In the federation, you can offend the president, gang members, and politicians, but you can only offend the rich people.
Whether within the rules or outside the rules, they have ways to make a person's life worse than death.
Serra seems to like this man very much, so this story must have a happy ending, and this is what Lynch can do for Serra.
Coleman calmed down from his ecstasy, and lowered his head with a guilty conscience, "I think I figured it out, Mr. Lynch..."
"You haven't figured it out!" Lynch directly rejected his answer. "Before Sera gets tired of it, you will always have to play the role you are playing now, and you will also have to say goodbye to your past."
"I will find you something to do so that you can maintain a decent living, and you will only pay a part of your life, do you understand?"
In fact, Koeman is not the only person with whom he has an ambiguous relationship. Being a fitness coach, especially being a fitness coach for these rich ladies, is a very special job in itself.
This job is very competitive, and every coach has a different approach to retaining these clients.
Coleman had read a book, which said that falling in love is always the best way to keep a woman fresh about the world. This trick had indeed worked well until this moment.
There was a calm moment between the two, with Lynch watching the TV and Koeman thinking about the future.
