Anne laughed awkwardly. "You know that Aunt Sera i s injured, don't you? It'll be hard for her to do anything, really."
Baby Zetty exclaimed in dissatisfaction, "After everything you say, you and Aunt Sera just want to cadge meals, huh? Let me warn you, though, my mommy’s meals are very expensive. Daddy had to pay Mommy 81 pounds of gold after eating a single dumpling that my mommy made."
Baby Zetty still remembered Mommy and Daddy’s 'one meal for a thousand gold’ story.
Anne was so shocked that she nearly slipped to the floor. "81 pounds of gold?"
How could she possibly agree to pay for such an expensive meal?
After regaining her composure, Anne said, "Nonsense. Why would your daddy pay for the meal that your mommy made?"
Baby Zetty was just about to tell Anne the 'A Meal Of Grace' tale when Baby Robbie interjected straight away, "Daddy said that Mommy is his darling baby. All the money he earns belongs to Mommy. With the identity that Mommy has, she chose to condescend to you because honesty is more important than money to her. Grandma Anne, however, has violated the rules
and is trying to eat Mommy's food for free. Do you think you can afford it?"
Anne gulped. Why did she feel like these munchkins were no pushovers at all?
George was deep in thought. The children kept saying that Jay loved Angeline very much. Old Master Severe's reminder had come as a head-on blow for him indeed.
Jay and Angeline might appear as though they had severed their relationship, but in fact, they were not completely cut off.
When Angeline walked out of the kitchen, Baby Zetty handed Mommy a peeled orange. "Eat fruit, Mommy."
Angeline took it with a smile and stuffed her mouth full, looking extremely satisfied. "The ones that Baby Zetty gives are always the tastiest ones."
Baby Zetty smiled sweetly when she obtained Mommy's approval.
Though at the thought of how Anne was cadging free meals, Baby Zetty put on a gloomy face and complained, "Mommy, is Grandma Anne trying to cadge free meals?"
Angeline cast Anne a sharp and stern gaze.
Anne looked guilty all of a sudden and turned her head to look at George, hoping that he would back her up.
