After settling down in the hotel, Harley looked at Thea tenderly.
"Are you hungry? Let's go out and grab some food!"
Thea shook her head and sighed, "I'm not going out. I'm going to buy some groceries. Isn't there a place in this residential hotel where we can cook? The doctor said we need to provide sufficient nutrients for him, so..."
Harley furrowed his brow as he felt uncomfortable hearing this.
Thea shot another glance at Harley and said, "Harley, I..."
"It's okay, let's go!"
It was his choice. No matter what, he was not going to give up. Not here!
However, when he saw how occupied Thea was at the supermarket, he felt jealous.
After thinking about it for some time, he finally realized Thea had never cooked anything for him before. But now, she was going to cook something for Martin!
After keeping herself occupied for the entire day, Thea finally finished preparing some food.
She was about to carry it over to Martin, but Harley stopped her.
"He is not handicapped. I'll ask him to come over and eat!"
In fact, Thea was worried that Harley would be unhappy. Hence, she nodded at his suggestion. With that Harley went straight to Martin's room and kicked at the door heavily. He shouted, "Come out, it's time to eat!"
After a while, Martin came over with a bowl of instant noodles in his hand.
"I am famished!" After saying that, he put down the instant noodles before grabbing a spoon and shoving some food into his mouth.
"Wait, what is this? It's so terrible! Is this even edible? Why don't we go out to eat? There's a five-star hotel nearby. I'll take you to..."
"Shut up!" Harley said coldly. In fact, he had been holding in his anger for a long time. Thea had cooked Martin food he craved so much, but Martin ended up detesting it.
Yet, she had no choice but to make him food.
Such feelings of misery and frustration were not something that anyone could bear with!
Martin shrank away from him in fear and grumbled, "Fine, I'll shut up. Why are you shouting at me?"
Harley frowned, got up and stormed out. Seeing that, Thea glared at Martin and warned him, "Shut your trap! Hurry up and eat. Then, go back to your room!"
After that, she ran after Harley.
Harley was smoking on the balcony. He took a heavy puff of the cigarette and coughed.
Thea hurried over and handed him some water.
"Have some water! I can't be rest assured when there is no one to take care of Cutie Pie at home. Why don't you go back to keep him company?"
Harley furrowed his eyebrows and pouted, "And leave you here with him?"
Thea pursed her lips and said nothing. After a long time, she whispered softly.
"I know you're in a bad mood, but I'm not feeling good about it either. Harley, Cutie Pie is my son. I can't give up on him! I really can't!"
Harley was well aware of her family background.
He knew her parents abandoned her since she was young. That was why she cherished the people around her even more.
Feeling the warmth and affection from her words,
Harley reached out and hugged Thea.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'm bad-tempered. I'll try my best to be a better person!"
Thea shook her head and comforted him, "Don't say that. It's all my fault..."
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Leave Martin to me. I'll take care of him!"
Thea was stupefied. She asked in astonishment, "You? Take care of him?"
Harley smirked playfully and asked, "What's wrong? You don't trust me?"
Thea shook her head, "No. Okay, I'll leave him to you."
After all, she trusted Harley to not do anything out of line for Cutie Pie's sake!
