A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)

Chapter 1609: This Restaurant’s Owner Isn’t Simple?

At Abraham’s house early in the morning, Sean looked at Vanessa who was still in a daze after just waking up. He smiled adoringly at her, and said, “Vanessa, it’s been a few months, and you seem to have grown taller.”

“Hehe, that’s because there’s a lot of finger-licking food for me to eat every day to help me grow faster.” Vanessa went up happily. However, she quickly pouted as she looked at Sean, and grumbled, “Big Brother Sean, it took you so long to come and visit me. All you know is to fight. I bet you’ve already forgotten that you still have a younger sister.”

“There’s a lot to do at the borders. The orcs keep coming to invade our territory, so I really couldn’t step away from work.” Sean let out an embarrassed laugh. He looked at his only sister, and said, “Aren’t I here to visit you after I’m done with the war?”

“Tsk. Royal Father sent you over. You didn’t even come specially to visit me.” Vanessa rolled her eyes. She looked at Sean cautiously. “Tell me, did Royal Father tell you to catch me and bring me back?”

“You’ve left home for months. Both Royal Father and Royal Mother are very worried, and they also miss you a lot. My other purpose for coming to Chaos City other than the official visit is to fetch you back. How can you say that I’m catching you?” Sean nodded. He looked at Vanessa’s pearly white teeth, and exclaimed in surprise. “Also, have all your teeth been fixed?

“Big Sister Irina and Big Sister Xixi fixed it for me.” Vanessa nodded. She bared her teeth, and proudly said, “Look, aren’t they neat and white?”

“Mm-hm. You look very pretty when you smile.” Sean nodded with a smile. Although he was surprised that Irina would actually help Vanessa fix her teeth, he was truly happy.

He knew very well how Vanessa became depressed over the years because of her teeth. He had not seen her smile so brightly just like today for many years.

“That’s not important! What’s important is that I don’t want to go home just yet. I like Chaos City, and I want to stay here for a while more,” Vanessa said seriously. She reached out a finger and pointed to Abraham, who was sipping his morning tea at the side, and continued, “With Uncle Abraham.”

“My little princess, please don’t drag me down with you. I have no say in this at all,” Abraham said after taking a sip of tea.

“Big Brother Sean.” Vanessa looked at Sean with puppy dog eyes. There were already tears shimmering in her large eyes.

“This is Royal Father’s order. I have no say as well.” Sean shook his head lightly. His heart softened a little when he saw the tears in Vanessa’s eyes, and he gently said, “The situation on the continent isn’t very stable in this period, and the situation in Chaos City has also become a little complicated. Royal Father told me to fetch you back because he’s worried about you. Besides, you’ve been out for so long. It is time you go back to meet Royal Father and Royal Mother.”

“I think things are fine in Chaos City. Everyone is very friendly, and it’s not complicated here at all.” Vanessa pouted. Her face fell when she saw the resolution in Sean’s face, and she said, “I’m going to Mamy Restaurant for dinner. Are you coming along?”

“I’ll reject the dinner banquet at the city lord’s castle.” Sean nodded with a smile. It had been a very long time since he had a nice meal with Vanessa. Besides, he really wanted to see what kind of charm this restaurant that made Vanessa refuse to go home had.

“Alright. I’ll wait for you tonight. Be sure to come back early. If we’re late, we will not be able to make it to the line,” Vanessa reminded.

“Line?” Sean was confused.

“Mamy Restaurant has too many customers, so if you want to eat there, you have to line up. It’s on a first come, first serve basis, and if you’re late, you won’t make it to the line,” Abraham explained with a smile.

“I would have to trouble Uncle to help me reserve the entire restaurant. I would like to have a good meal with Vanessa tonight, and I don’t want anyone else to be around,” Sean told Abraham.

It was not befitting their status as the first prince, princess, and duke of the Roth Empire to need to line up at a restaurant, and even share a space with other customers.

“I might have the money, but I’m not capable enough to do it. I’m afraid even City Lord Michael isn’t able to reserve the restaurant.” Abraham shrugged and expressed his reluctance to even try.

“This restaurant’s owner isn’t simple?” Sean was bewildered.

“That’s not exactly it. He’s just quite a character.” Abraham shook his head with a laugh. “Do you remember the one who won the best chef of the banquet during the king’s last birthday banquet?”

“Yes.” Sean thought for a while and nodded. Josh was quite cocky because of the chef. That chef might be a nobody, but he actually rejected the king’s invitation to join the Royal Kitchen, and that made quite an impression.

“He’s the one who opened this restaurant. He’s the restaurant owner who treats all the customers equally. So even City Lord Michael would have to line up if he were to go over to the restaurant for a meal. You want me to reserve the place?” Abraham opened his hands up and laughed.

“That fellow…” Sean frowned.

“Boss Mag is super nice. He was the reason my teeth got cured. He even gifted me a toothbrush and toothpaste, and taught me how to keep my teeth clean. I won’t have to worry about my teeth going bad again.

“Also, the food he makes is incredibly good! Spicy grilled fish, beggar’s chicken, steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers, spicy crayfish… and the best of them all, hot pot!

“He’s a treasure that the heavens had bestowed upon us to give us endless delicious creations, subverting our imagination time and again.

“Besides, his rules are all set for the good of the customers. Although that might inconvenience those with power and authority, it gives real foodies a fair chance to enjoy his food.” Vanessa looked at Sean, and seriously said, “Big Brother Sean, if you try to break Mamy Restaurant’s rules, I won’t bring you there for good food.”

Sean looked at the serious-looking Vanessa. This little fellow would rarely wear such an expression on her face. It seemed like she really liked that chef and that restaurant. After a brief hesitation, he smilingly said, “In that case, I’ll come back earlier so I can also thank the chef who satisfied my younger sister’s stomach and also cured her teeth.”

“Mm-hm, mm-hm. I’ll be waiting for you.” Vanessa nodded happily. After that, she walked straight out of the door while saying, “Uncle, do you want to get the Soybean milk and youtiao? If not, I won’t be waiting for you.”

“Of course I’m going. I was waiting for you.” Abraham put his teacup down in a hurry, and walked towards the door. He stopped for a while at the door and turned back to tell Sean, “Sean, you must be very busy today, so we won’t be entertaining you. Let’s have a few rounds of drinks tonight.”

“Alright.” Sean nodded. He looked at Abraham who quickly turned to leave and laughed. He picked up the teacup at the side and took a sip before walking towards the door as well. He was busy, and would need to meet the authorities of Chaos City to have a good chat.
