Right after the food touched Nadia’s tongue, she spat it out immediately.
"What's wrong? You don't like it?" Charles' voice became colder.
"Daddy must have put too much salt in it. It's salty..." Nadia kept sticking her tongue out, as if it could remove the taste.
There was no doubt that Charles was absent-minded today. With a scowl on his face, he picked up the food and put it in his mouth, and then spat it out. "Forget it; you don't have to eat."
As soon as he was done talking, he picked up the plate and threw the food into the trash can.
Frowning, Bobby asked, "Daddy, what are we going to eat for dinner?"
Ever since he was a child, Bobby had been eating the best food in the world. Even if Charles cooked by himself, the dishes were sumptuous every day. It was rare to have one or two dishes that were close to being inedible like today.
"Isn't there another vegetable?" Then he pushed the bamboo shoots in front of the children.
"Well, I'll eat this, although I don't like it very much." Reluctantly, Bobby picked up a bamboo shoot with his chopsticks.
"Daddy... Daddy, what's the taste?" Covering his mouth, Bobby rushed into the bathroom.
Charles thought his cooking was good. Why did Bobby dislike it?
So Charles picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth. "Ah! Why is it so spicy?"
In a hurry, Nadia jumped off the chair and ran into the kitchen. When she came out, she was already holding a chili powder in her hands. "Daddy, did you use this?"
"No, I just... Used chili oil..." It was awkward for Charles to admit this.
Unbelievable! He had never been so absent-minded like this before.
All his life, Charles had always thought that he was omnipotent enough to face everything.
But Nancy's absence really made him depressed.
Since the day Nancy broke up with him, he had been restless and distracted most of the time.
Whenever Nancy was not with him, he felt really uncomfortable.
His heart and mind were both in a mess.
And it felt as if his soul had been sucked by a black hole.
"Daddy, I think you miss Mommy more than we do. How about we go and find Mommy?" As he said these words, Bobby had to be cautious.
"No way!" With a snort, Charles added, "I’m warning you, if you dare to look for Mommy secretly, Daddy will punish you severely. Do you hear me?"
"We will never go and find Mommy!" It was Nadia who first raised her little hand confidently.
"Bobby, did you hear that?" Charles knew that Bobby was a cunning boy. Bobby was silent now, but no one knew what he was thinking about.
After thinking for a while, Bobby finally replied, "Daddy, if you don't want us to look for Mommy, you have to cook well for us. Someone said on the internet that if you want to keep a person, you have to keep the person's stomach first!”
Hearing this made Charles laugh in annoyance. "Come on. I'll find something for you to eat."
The first thing Charles found was a bag of chips, which he immediately gave to the children.
If Nancy was here, she would never allow the children eat junk foods. But now, in order to win over the children, Charles had to break the rules and secretly bribed them with snacks.
"Oh, Daddy, you are so kind." As soon as Nadia saw the bag of chips, her eyes lit up in excitement. Snacks had always been a kid's weakness after all.
"Nadia, your requirement is too simple." There was an obvious disgust in Bobby’s tone.
"Bobby, I know you don't like it. I can eat it myself." Then Nadia ran as fast as she could with the chips.
"Who says I don't like it? The teacher said that we should share something we have, and I want to eat too. " To be honest, Bobby also liked eating chips. He just didn't want to be bought off so easily by his father, but Nadia was too impulsive to run away with the bag of chips.
