"The medicine smells so bad, it must be very bitter. Take it away. I don't want to eat bitter things."
Martha pinched her nose and took two steps back, standing behind her son.
Jimmy nodded seriously, "Daddy, I think Mommy is right, this medicine smells so bad that it must be really bitter."
"Okay, you two can talk some more."
Stefan said before leaving the room with the medicine in hand.
It wasn't until the door was closed again that Martha and Jimmy looked at each other in dismay.
They were surprised that Stefan gave in so easily. x
After Jimmy regained his senses, he hesitated and looked at his mother.
"Mommy, although the medicine smells bad and might taste bitter, but as the old saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter, why don't you go and take some medicine?"
"No."
Martha resolutely rejected Jimmy's request, turned around and walked to the sofa to sit down.
"That medicine is so bitter, I don't want to take it."
In fact, she knew that Stefan would not just give up persuading her into drinking the medicine.
He would definitely be back.
Jimmy looked at his mommy hesitantly, thinking about how to persuade his mommy.
Martha glanced at Jimmy lightly, "Don't worry, your father won't give up so easily."
After a while, there was another knock on the door as expected.
Martha glanced sideways at her son, and that look clearly said, "I told you so".
Jimmy turned to look in the direction of the door, and a soft voice sounded in the room.
"Come in."
The door opened, but the person who came this time was not Stefan, but Bianca.
Jimmy looked at the direction of the door with eyes full of shock, and his voice was raised, "Granny Bianca."
"Hi," Bianca responded lovingly, then turned to look at Martha hesitantly, not knowing whether she should say it or not.
Seeing Bianca's troubled look, Martha asked puzzledly, "Bianca, what happened?"
"Oh, you'll find out when you go downstairs and have a look."
Bianca sighed, turned and walked downstairs.
Jimmy watched Granny Bianca's slowly disappearing figure, and frowned suspiciously.
"What happened, Mommy? Why did Granny Bianca ask us to go downstairs?"
Martha shook her head in doubt, "Let's go downstairs and have a look to see what happened."
"Good idea."
Jimmy nodded in agreement, walked to his mommy and took his mommy's hand before walking downstairs together.
When Martha and Jimmy stood in the living room, their eyes were full of shock.
At this point, the living room was filled with candies of different sizes and colors.
All the candies that were sold on the market were available here.
Martha turned her head in shock, looking at Stefan who was directing others to put down the candies, "Stefan, what are you doing?"
He frowned slightly, and looked at her confidently.
"Didn't you say the medicine was too bitter?"
At this moment, Martha finally understood why Bianca had that expression just now.
Jimmy, who was standing next to her, widened his eyes in surprise, "Daddy bought these candies for Mommy?"
Stefan nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips, and looked fondly at Martha.
"Your mother told me that medicine is very bitter. Now that there are so many candies here, your mother will not be afraid of taking bitter medicine."
Martha froze in place when she heard that.
She didn't want to take bitter medicine, but she didn't let Stefan buy so much candy.
Jimmy looked at the people who were still carrying candy into the hall, and felt the power of money for the first time.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door, interrupting the thoughts of Martha and Jimmy.
"Mr. Harrison, the living room can't fit any more candy, where should we put the rest?"
Stefan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about where to put other kinds of candy.
Martha snapped back to her senses, and hurriedly stopped Stefan from making the next move.
"Enough, Stefan, these candies are enough."
"OK, Mrs. Harrison," Stefan said jokingly, then he turned to look at his subordinates standing at the door.
"Take the rest away."
"Yes."
The subordinate standing at the door responded respectfully, turned and left the Doyle Manor.
Stefan walked towards Martha, stopping in front of the still dazed woman.
