Chapter: 20 Son-in-law? Mother-in-law?

The next morning Michael and Ana ate breakfast before checking out from the hotel.

And after a small argument about who would be paying for the day's expenses Michael ordered a Taxi and made his way to Ana's house as she kept complaining on the way there.

The drive didn't take much time. After about thirty minutes of being on the road Michael and Ana arrived at where Ana's parents lived.

Ana's parents lived in a beautiful two story house in the middle of what appeared to be a couple of acres of land. Luckily the driver did them a favor and drove right in and left them near the house or they would have to walk for a good ten minutes just to make it to the porch.

At the door, Ana kept fidgeting with her fingers seemingly contemplating, Whether if she should Knock on the door or just walk in, all while turning to look at Michael from time to time.

" Why are you looking at me? Just Knock on the door already! Their your family, why are you overthinking?."

"Hehe...well I forgot to tell you..."

Before Ana could finish her words the door of the house was unexpectedly opened by a gorgeous middle-aged woman who looked a lot like Ana. who was wearing a flowery white summer dress witch was strange since it was winter but nonetheless the dress made her look young and refreshing to the eyes.

" Ah! Ana! You're back home! Ah, and I see you've brought my future son in law with you."

It was only then that Michael understood. Ana hadn't told her Parents she was bringing someone with her specially the fact that he was a man. So in order to not make things difficult for Ana, Michael quickly adapted to the situation and spoke first before Ana had time to do so.

"Hello mom! Ana has told me a lot about you. so I took the liberty to invite myself over for the festivities when I heard she was going back to her hometown. I hope it isn't too much of a bother to have me over for a couple of days."

Listening to Michael's well spoken words Ana's mom couldn't help but cheer up and laugh out loud extremely pleased.

"Hahaha, Good! I see Ana has taught you well! I'm Hazel, I'm Ana's mom. You can just keep calling me mom as well."

"Quick, Come in and take a seat!."

That being said Michael thought no further and immediately walked into the house.

As for Hazel she followed after Michael while not forgetting to mouth something off to Ana while smiling and Giggling to herself as Ana stood there in a daze.

Ana: "What just happened? Since when...are we ....dating?."

....

Inside the house Michael took a seat in the living room sofa upon Hazel's request.

It didn't take long for Michael to get acquainted with Hazel and soon they began talking to each other as if they had known each other for years.

To say the least Ana was stupefied at the outcome. Ana would have never imagined that Michael and her mom would get along so well in such a short time. Although happy, Ana also couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards her mother, besides greeting her at the door all her attention shifted towards Michael right after that, it even made her wonder if she wasn't actually her mother's daughter and Michael was her biological son instead. Nonetheless she didn't voice out her dissatisfaction to her mother and just silently listened to the both of them talk. Only talking when necessary or when she was mentioned during the conversation.

As the day progressed Hazel couldn't help but feel more and more satisfied by Michael's character. If she was younger and not Married already she might have fallen for Michaels charm, especially since he was extremely handsome.

She was happy enough though, Hazel had spent all day talking to Michael and she could tell Ana wasn't so happy about it but nonetheless Ana didn't say anything to voice out her dissatisfaction. After that she understood everything.

Her Daughter had already fallen For Michael and didn't even know it. "Oh, how good it is to be young! " She thought to herself.

After talking for a while and Listening to Hazel talk about Ana's embarrassing childhood, Michael offered to help Make dinner when a Notification from the system entered his mind.

"Huh?."

"System? What's up with the task? And why is it Worth two rewards?."

As for the rewards. The rewards are always proportional to the task or mission given.

These two rewards are actually one in the same but for convenience sake, They have been split into two. You will understand after completing the task.

"Oh, okay"

Not fully understanding, Michael answered skeptically and continued to help Hazel in the Kitchen.

Michael thought hard about what dish to prepare that would ensure Hazel's Satisfaction. In the end Michael decided to make a catfish soup. He had heard from Ana that fish was very popular on Quinn's island

And was a staple item in most households so he decided to just go with it.

After taking out a pot Michael filled it with water and put it on the stove.

Then he started cutting up the vegetables one by one with fast and precise movements making his knife skills look very impressive.

After slicing some carrots,tomatoes and some celery ribs he proceeded to slice some garlic cloves with even more precession cutting them up into paper thin slices before continuing to prep the fish.

All of this happened in just a span of a few minutes leaving Hazel and Ana in a daze as they looked at how Charming Michael looked while cooking.

While observing Hazel couldn't help but whisper to Ana.

"Ana! What didn't you tell me he knew how to cook this well! When you told me he made you food every day I didn't think you'd be enjoying this type of treatment!."

Pouting Ana said "Huh? How would I know he had such skills? Now that I think about it ..he might have been holding his skills back from me."

Michael, unaware of Ana's Misunderstanding continued cooking. It wasn't that Michael had been holding back when cooking for her before, it was just that he had no need to use all his skills when cooking. And after years inside the training hall, his precision, focus and a lot of other useful skills that could be used in cooking had been upgraded to perfection, making his skills now look more extraordinary than what they were.
