    With a hint of reluctance, Christopher admitted, “Alright, alright, you’re right, Mom. I’ll follow your advice, okay?”


    Lady Wilson shot him an intense look and insisted, “You need to put in a bit more effort! Mince the meat properly and make it tender!”


    “Yes, Ma’am…” Christopher replied, his tone t.


    By the time evening rolled around, the minced meat was ready, the eggs were fried, and a generous basket of chives had been cleaned. All the ingredients were neatly arranged on the cutting board.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Lady Wilson took charge of making the dumpling fillings. She firstbined the fried eggs with the chives, adding seasoning for the egg and chive mixture. Then, she prepared another bowl filled with pork and chives.


    The rest of the Wilson family watched in eager anticipation as Lady Wilson crafted the dumpling fillings. After all the challenges and hardships they had faced recently, this was a rare moment to enjoy warm, homemade dumplings.


    Once the fillings were ready, Lady Wilson patiently demonstrated how to wrap the dumplings. To be honest, their dumplings came out in all sorts of shapes and sizes—some big, some small, some crooked, and others perfectly shaped—it felt as festive as Thanksgiving!


    Typically grumpy and short-tempered, Lady Wilson felt a special warmth from her family at that moment.


    For once, she revealed her softer side, teaching her grandchildren how to wrap the dumplings tightly and neatly.


    Christopher felt a wave of emotion as he soaked in the warmth of the atmosphere. He relished this joyful moment, especially since his wife, who had been missing, was back. They had returned to a peaceful and loving life in their beautiful vi, surrounded by their children. He was confident that soon, the Wilson Group would be revitalized.<fn602e> For original chapters go to find{n}ovel</fn602e>


    At that moment, his life felt almost perfect.


    If someone were to ask him to describe his feelings right now, he would simply say, “What more could I possibly wish for?”


    He sensed that his life had reached its peak.


    As Lady Wilson guided everyone in wrapping the dumplings, Hannah decided to bring the induction cooker from the kitchen to the living room. They thought it would be fun to watch TV while preparing and cooking the dumplings.


    Though the TV was on the smaller side, it was sufficient entertainment for the family. Harold chose the movie “Nine Pins Sesame Official” featuring Stephen Chow, and the family enjoyed it as they worked on their dumpling preparation.


    While watching the movie, Hannah kept an eye on the dumplings in the pot. Soon, the dumplings began to float, filling the living room with an enticing aroma that made everyone’s mouths water.


    “Hannah, hurry! Scoop me a bowl!” Lady Wilson urged.


    With a gleefulugh, Christopher chimed in, “Quick! Get all the dumplings out and start the next batch. I’ll grab some vinegar; let’s feast!”


    Harold and Wendy quickly gathered around the pot.


    As Hannah fished out the dumplings, Christopher returned with the vinegar.


    The five members of the Wilson family joyfully indulged in the dumplings they had made together.


    Christopher was the first to dig in. Ignoring the fact that the dumplings were piping hot, he quickly popped one into his mouth and eximed, “Oh my God! This is incredible! The homemade minced meat tastes so much better!”


    Lady Wilson quickly followed suit, and with wide eyes, she said, “Oh my goodness, the chives are so tender!”


    Hannah also took a bite and asked, “By the way, where did Charlie find such amazing chives? You can’t get chives as fresh and delicious as these at the market!”


    Lady Wilson took another dumpling and sighed regretfully, “Charlie, that rascal, surprised me with his skills. I underestimated him. If I had known he was so clever with his tricks, I might have kept him in the Wilson Group; he could have been an asset.”


    Harold quickly interjected, “Grandma, how could we keep such a loser in thepany? Someone like Charlie, who makes money by deceiving people, will eventually get exposed. I wonder how long it will take before his victims line up to confront him!”


    Lady Wilson nodded, waving her hand dismissively. “Alright, enough about that. Let’s eat! We’ve got so many dumplings; everyone should have at least two bowls!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
