Chapter 325 Tina replied softly, “Don‘t be scared, Kara. I‘m here, and I‘ll definitely protect you. Let‘s eat. I don‘t want you to starve any longer.”
“Okay!”
Kara nodded happily.
It was true that she was starving. The dishes on the table were delicately arranged and consisted of a wide variety of cuisines, which served as a great distraction for her five–year old brain. She couldn‘t help but shove food into her mouth happily.
“Mommy, I want to eat this and that! The food here is amazing!”
Kara was naturally friendly and cheerful, so she couldn‘t help but sneak peeks at Samuel after sitting at the dining table for a while.
“Mr. Meanie, why aren‘t you eating?”
Tina was surprised to hear Kara‘s words. She almost covered her daughter‘s mouth instinctively.
Oh god! Will Samuel get mad at Kara for calling him Mr. Meanie?!‘ she thought, feeling helpless. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
She snuck a look in Samuel‘s direction.
Having ended the conference, the man was in no hurry to start eating. Instead, he had been reviewing the documents at the head seat.
After hearing Kara‘s question, he put down the documents and asked coldly, “Why?”
Kara shrunk away from Samuel‘s cold gaze instinctively, but she mustered her courage to reply to him.
“You should focus on your food when you‘re eating. You shouldn‘t do anything else. Also, if you don‘t eat properly, mommy will punish you by smacking your butt!”
The little girl sounded very serious.
Samuel just chuckled coldly. “You don‘t know whose butt is going to be smacked in the end.”
Tina was furious by that inappropriate response. ‘D*mn you, Samuel! Why must you say such things in front of a child?!‘
“Kara, stop talking nonsense. Eat your food,” Tina said seriously with a deadpan look. “If you‘re too full from all the eating, I‘ll take you on a walk to help you digest your food.” “Okay.” Kara was always obedient when Tina was the one lecturing her, so she continued eating quietly. Samuel‘s mealtimes were always inconsistent. There were many instances when he would finally remember to eat after he was done dealing with his work.
The fact he was able to eat on time was all thanks to Tina and Kara. Otherwise, his mealtime
would have been delayed by another few hours based on his usual work routine. He didn‘t plan to revise the documents anymore, now that Kara had pointed his problem out to him.
His gaze was soon trained on the mother and daughter pair.
It made Tina feel more anxious. ‘Is the demon angry because Kara disturbed his work with her overly blunt question?‘
In contrast with Tina‘s anxiety, Kara was ignorant to what her mother was thinking. The sight of the five–year–old inhaling food like she hadn‘t eaten for ages made Samuel frown immediately. “Don‘t you
eat regularly at home?” he asked icily. Kara was surprised for a moment. She looked like a squirrel that went into a sudden trace in the midst of eating.
She stared at Samuel before pointing at herself.
“Mister, are you talking to me?” “Who else would I be talking to?” A trace of curiosity rose within Samuel‘s heart. He shot a look at Tina, who looked visibly nervous, before adding, “No one‘s fighting you for the food, so why are you wolfing everything down? Didn‘t your mommy prepare meals for you at home?”
“She does!” Kara replied. “Mommy‘s cooking is amazing! I‘d always finish everything served on the dinner table whenever she cooked. But I need to eat quickly when I‘m away from home. During lunchtime at my kindergarten, other children would snatch my food away if I ate slowly.”
Tina became even more anxious when she heard Kara‘s reply. “Did the other children bully you?!”
