Marguerite found herself flabbergasted after saying those words.
How on earth did she get overwhelmed by Frederick's son? Strange indeed!
Yet when she saw the little boy’s innocent and radiant smile, her heart filled with genuine joy.
It seemed like his smile could brighten her entire day.
Soon, a pot of steaming instant noodles was ready, wafting with its inviting aroma.
The two little ones eagerly went to help, vying to serve Marguerite first.
Frederick, feeling ignored, was speechless and displeased, his handsome face clouded over.
He had done all the work, yet Marguerite was the one who gained!
What ungrateful little ones!
Hayes managed to serve Marguerite a plate first, and Teresa, missing the chance, felt a bit disappointed.
Frederick next to her cleaned his hands and cleared his throat meaningfully.
Teresa, sharp as a tack, of course understood his hint. She chuckled and said teasingly, "Hayes’ daddy, you're an adult, do you really need a kid to serve you? Shame, shame!"
Frederick was once again speechless.
Teresa then climbed onto the stool and served herself a plateful, leaving only a little for the man.
"Oh dear! Hayes’ daddy, maybe you should make yourself another plate, or you'll go hungry!"
After serving herself, Teresa couldn't resist making a snide comment.
Humph!
It was a punishment for him offending mommy and not apologize. Even though he made her a midnight snack, Teresa hadn't decided whether to forgive him yet!
Frederick wore a helpless expression. If it weren't for the fact that the offender was Teresa, he would have lost his temper!
But this little one sure had a temper. Appeasing her wasn't going to be easy.
Despite his inner frustration, Frederick patiently got a new pack of instant noodles and started cooking.
Fifteen minutes later, he could finally sit down to eat.
