Chapter 63 Broke
+5 Free Coins
Aiden nodded repeatedly, clearly proud of himself, even as he reached up to shield his head. Freya, smiling sweetly, countered, “Whether or not a kid is spoiled is up to the kid. Whether or not an adult wants to spoil them is up to the adult. What, Aiden? You can’t handle this tiny bit of pampering? You think just a cute meal will make you soft?”
Sure enough, the little guy took the bait and shot back with great conviction, “Of course not! Like I’d get spoiled just because of a little food!”
“Then I’ll trouble you to bravely accept my sugary kindness,” Freya said seriously. “I can’t resist adorable kids, and now that we have one in the house, I finally have a chance to try making children’s meals.” She even looked at Aiden and added sincerely, “Thanks for the help.”
Aiden puffed up his chest. “You’re welcome.”
Louis took in their entire exchange but didn’t repeat his earlier objection about making separate meals. So the three of them sat down to cat.
Aiden
Aiden was noticeably faster than what Freya remembered from before. It was clear he really liked the food. And despite eating faster, he still showed off the Graham family’s impeccable manners. Every detail of his table behavior could practically score full marks. So elegant at his age–Freya couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed by comparison.
After the meal, Freya went to wash the dishes as usual. Aiden looked at her in amazement. “You even do housework now? Guess you really are broke.”
Freya shrugged. “What can I say? Life’s full of ups and downs. You never know when they’re coming. That’s why you’ve got to study hard. Otherwise, you’ll go hungry just like the rest of us.”
Aiden seemed to have found a new path to riches. “I could join more competitions. Before, Uncle didn’t let me because he didn’t want it to affect my studies. But now I probably can. If I join four, maybe I could win two hundred thousand! Then we’ll really have money for food!”
One hundred fifty thousand… and not enough for food?
