"Uncle Jayden, do you find us annoying?" Larry was young, but he was smart. Usually, when Lionel was annoyed with him, he would question if Larry had raised any trouble at school.
But he was such a good boy, how could he get into trouble at school? It was obvious that his parents were annoyed at him third-wheeling.
He snorted inwardly!
As expected, adults were all the same. Usually, when they were happy and wanted to be alone, they would get annoyed and treat the children like they were in their way.
"Larry, Lawrie, if you want to accompany your aunt and the baby, by all means, do so. Pretend I didn't say anything." The little ones were like tricksters. No matter how much Jayden wanted to chase them away, he couldn't. He could only glance helplessly at Silvia.
Silvia held his hand and said with a smile, "Daddy, do you want to rest for a while?"
Jayden glared at her and said, "How can I leave you and our daughter alone and rest by
myself?"
Silvia knew that he couldn't, but she didn't want him to continue wallowing in jealousy here. How adorable for him to be jealous of the two little ones. "Larry and Lawrie really like me, that's why they want to stay with me. If they didn't like me, they wouldn't stay even if you begged them to."
Larry and Lawrie bobbed their heads hard, indicating that Silvia was right. Two kids as cute and sensible as they were, plenty of people had wanted to play with them all the time, only to be rejected.
Jayden pinched their faces and said, "When you two grow up, you'll understand how annoying it feels to have someone third wheel you. I hope you both meet a third wheel when you go on your first dates in the future."
Larry and Lawrie could not wrap their heads around his words, but Silvia understood. "Jayden, you are already a father, how can you be so petty?"
Jayden had nothing to say.
In his defense, he was not being petty. If their parents had read the room earlier, they would not have agreed to let the two little ones stay back. In the end, it was just because they themselves had wanted some alone time.
Julien and Karen Joy were parents themselves, yet they had no sense of self-awareness.
Whatever! Jayden decided that he would not argue with them. After all, he was their elder brother, and as expected of him, he had the responsibility of taking care of them. "Larry, Lawrie, do you kids want to eat anything?"
Larry and Lawrie blurted out at the same time, "What does the baby want to eat?"
The first thing they thought of was their baby cousin, which surprised Jayden a little bit. He felt a slight warmth in his heart. It seemed that his daughter would be absolutely cherished by them in the future.
Seeing that the two little guys were so sensible, Jayden's expression grew softer, his tone gentler. "Since she was just born, she can only have milk. She can't eat anything else yet."
Larry immediately reached out his hand and tapped twice on his smartphone. Soon, he made a phone call. "Daddy, it's Larry. Please buy more milk powder. I want to give it to the baby."
Again, Jayden was stunned. The little boy truly was a man of action. As soon as he heard that his baby cousin needed to drink milk, Larry immediately called his father to arrange for it. There was no denying that Larry would take good care of the baby girl in the future.
