"You must be tired. Go to bed early. Later, I'll come cover you up".
Although he was small, it was difficult to hide his noble and arrogant temperament, and when he looked back at her, his eyes did not look domineering like a five-year-old child but like that of a grown up.
Maria was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she looked at his little back and gave a confused smile. She didn't know whether to smile or to cry. Even if she has some difficulty adapting to this environment, it is not the turn of a small child of this age to cover her. She should be the one covering him.
Turning around, Maria began to clean up the kitchen and dining room, and when everything was cleaned, she did not dare to go back to the horrible bedroom before. The scene that happened there couldn't help her leg to move. The scene kept replaying in her mind.
After much conclusion, she decided to settle down for the living room's couch. She sighed and lay down on the couch, covering herself with her coat.
At the children's room upstairs.
Liam placed the food he brought on the head of the Lexy's bed. The little guy faced the wall, leaving Liam with a cold back.
"I don't eat." He said harshly.
"Oh."
Liam put the plate on Lexy's bedside again.
Lexy looked at him in anger. He flattened his mouth and began to mutter.
"Didn't we just join forces that we won't let strange women be our mommy? You mutinied so quickly, traitor!" Lexy spitted.
Liam sat back on his cot and glanced at his brother's back.
"She cooks delicious meals."
"Cooking is delicious and not our mommy!"Lexy said angrily.
He stared at the picture hung on the wall with his little finger.
"I want my biological mother, biological!" Lexy cried.
Liam sighed on the opposite bed, he looked at the ceiling, and silently spoke,
"But our own mother, dead." He reminded him.
He was more mature than his brother, so it was clear that his biological mother would not be able to come back again.
"Daddy shouldn't be single for the rest of his life because we don't want a stranger for a mother. The one downstairs, not bad" Liam said softly.
"She's not dead." Lexy's small hand clenched into a fist. "Mommy is definitely still alive, waiting for us to find her" he argued.
Liam closed his eyes and ignored him.
The children's room was suddenly quiet, and the aroma of food was wafting in the air. Finally, the little guy got up from his bed, tiptoed, and carefully reached the head of his brother's bed, picked up the fork and took part of the food and ate it. At the moment it got to his mouth, the little guy's bright eyes instantly lit up.
"It's delicious!" He exclaimed in a whisper. " It's ten times better than the meals cooked by the domestic servants. Is she a chef?" Lexy couldn't help question himself.y
"Make sure to send the plate down."
When Liam ate the second one fork from the food, the childish voice of Liam who was lying on the bed sounded.
"Also, don't scare her in the future" he added.
Lexy looked at him and flattened his lips.
"Brother, you are very abnormal".
In the past, Liam's pranks on him were all in a state of love and ignorance, how could he actually start defending that woman he met today".
"Is it because what she made a meal that is delicious?" He asked himself.
With this in mind, he took a sharp bite of the meal and it was delicious indeed. After finishing the food, Lexy went downstairs to deliver the plate to the kitchen.
Coming down from the upper floor, he glanced at the woman lying asleep on the couch. She was curled up and still shivering. He wondered why she didn go to the bedroom to sleep. He then walked over and looked at her clean white face. She looks good and then her cooking is very delicious. If only she were to be his biological mother thing would have been more easy.....
In her sleep, Maria felt a gaze staring at her. She woke up suddenly, and in front of her was the little guy from before. At the moment, he was carrying the plate and looking at her fixedly.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, "You... Haven't eaten enough? You should have just walked me and not stand there" she said sitting up.
Lexy pursed his lips, knowing that she had mistaken him and his brother, but he nodded anyway,
"Hmm. ”
He really wasn't full. He wanted more of that delicious meal.
Looking at the handsome and cute little face of the little guy, Maria's heart was fastened and filled with joy. She then raised her hand and pinched his little face gently. This time he didn't avoid her hand.
"This aunt will do it for you again".
After saying that, as she entered the kitchen, she also slandered in her heart.
"Didn't he say that he would not eat after eight o'clock? And...... He has eaten a lot before..."
Maria simply cooked him a light meal suitable for children so that he won't get indigestion.
The little guy ate it clean and Maria was stunned.
"This child's appetite... Isn't it a little too big?"
Especially when the little guy in front of her handed her the bowl and asked her to add more food. She was surprised but yet didn't deny him more food.
When he finished eating, Maria finally couldn't help but speak.
"Little......" She then remembered that he had told her not to call him little. "Emmm Liam, do you feel... Your appetite is a little big? ” she asked carefully.
Lexy shook his head, and then the gluttonous boy laughed.
"Yes, I can eat very well." ” he said with pride.
Maria noticed something was quite different from the boy he saw earlier than the boy that came down now even if they are the same. Then she stupidly thought that the child was hungry earlier.
Lexy held out his two tender fingers.
"You'll make food for me later, I want double portions!" ”
After saying that, he thought about it, afraid that his brother would leave him with something unpalatable, so he stressed, "Make two identical portions!" ”
Maria was a little shocked, but still nodded, smiling and putting away the tableware he had eaten.
"I understand, you are such a big child, you want to grow a body" she said smiling.
She found the boy's attitude quite cute. She then remembered that she brought a gift. She looked into her little hand bag and then handed Lexy the gift she had prepared for her husband to be. It was a box of cookies she had made by herself.
"For you".
After saying that, she raised her hand and rubbed the little guy's head with a smile.
"You are going to grow tall and handsome." ”
Lexy blushed and quickly went upstairs with the biscuit. He was quite happy.
Maria took a deep breath, smiled and the return to the sofa to continued to sleep. She was very tired so she didn't even take a minute before she fell asleep again.
Upstairs.
The extravagant and expensive phone shook twice on the table.
The man's large, slender finger picked up the phone and clicked the answer button.
"Pass".
Lexy's little voice came out of the receiver while he was eating the biscuit.
No one need to tell Xavier what his son was talking about. He already understood what he met.
"Pass it for the time being, I actually don't like her" he said bluntly.
"But her cooking is so delicious that I was going to compromise once for the sake of my stomach" he said and then ended the call.
Xavier dailed another number on his phone. The person on the other end answered immediately as if he was expecting the call.
"Get the license arranged by tomorrow" he said and dropped his phone.
