Mike heard movements, so he came out of his room. Seeing the parcel in the nanny's hands, he immediately asked, "What is that?"
"It’s a parcel for Avery." The nanny placed the parcel on the cabinet by the door.
"Oh, I don't think she has had the time to do online shopping for the past few days." Mike was curious, so he walked over and picked the parcel up. "What? This is sent from Aryadelle."
The nanny noticed how Mike was going to open the parcel, so she said, "This is Avery's parcel. Let her open it herself once she returns."
The nanny was a Bridgedalean, and they paid more attention to privacy, so despite knowing that Avery and Mike were close, she still felt it was wrong for Mike to open her parcel.
Mike awkwardly placed the parcel down. "Okay. I won't look at it. Before getting her permission, I won't open it."
"Hmm. If someone opens your parcel without you knowing, you would be unhappy about it too," the nanny said.
Mike chuckled. "It depends on who. If Avery and her children open my parcel, I won't be unhappy! They can do whatever they want."
The nanny's expression stiffened a little. She was silent for a while before saying, "But Avery is not you."
"You sure can be harsh." Mike scratched his head.
"I'm saying the truth."
"Okay, if you say so! Is there still breakfast?" Mike patted his stomach. He was famished. "I do eat quite a lot at night. Why am I woken up by hunger every morning?"
The nanny went to the kitchen to get him breakfast. "One usually will have a bigger appetite in winter compared to summer."
"I thought that it was because your cooking is getting better!" Mike joked with the nanny.
The nanny blushed. "It's just a coincidence that Avery doesn't have much of an appetite recently. We have to throw away quite a lot of food every day. You should eat more next time to prevent it from going to waste."
The nanny served him a huge bowl of oatmeal. Mike looked at the sandwich, milk, avocados, eggs, and the bowl of oatmeal in front of him. The smile on his face stiffened.
"I really can't eat that much, but I can take it to go." Mike pushed the sandwich, eggs, and avocado to the side. "Help me pack this to go."
