Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 705

Chapter 705 Little Genius Painter

The next day, when Melissa and Eden arrived, the former seemed visibly guilty. Melissa carried several pre-cut fruits and freshly bought desserts into the hospital room, smiling as she placed everything on the coffee table.

The next moment, she picked up one of the desserts and turned to Jimmy with a sycophantic smile. "Jimmy, I heard this souffle is delicious. Do you want to try it?"

"Humph." Jimmy let out an angry snort but his gaze lingered on the dessert in Melissa's hand.

At times like these, his mommy would use warnings about how too much sugar was bad for his teeth to control his intake of sweets. And after seeing those scary tooth cavities himself, he had no choice but to resign himself to not eating sweets anymore. Out of sight, out of mind.

But now that Melissa had brought over some desserts again, his craving for them resurfaced.. He really wanted to taste that souffle.

Melissa saw right through Jimmy's desire at a glance and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It was good that this future little painter was easy to please; she couldn't afford to offend such a talented young artist.

Her eyes darkened slightly as she held up the dessert in her hand with a smile on her face and took steps towards Jimmy. "These souffles were just made by the store clerk this morning; they should be very delicious so I couldn't resist buying some."

"Jimmy," she continued while looking at him directly in his eyes. "I know you love sweets and have a good taste. Can you help me taste these souffles to see if they're delicious?"

When he heard this request from Melissa, the craving inside him grew even stronger than before...

He unconsciously swallowed saliva while glancing sideways at Martha who looked back at him with an expression full of helplessness.

"It's okay if you help Melissa taste them," Martha said while smirking slightly, "Just don't eat too much."

"Got it." Jimmy nodded before turning eagerly towards Melissa who stood nearby waiting patiently for him...

However, just as he was about to urge Melissa to hurry, he suddenly remembered he was still angry, so he forced himself to calm down quickly. With a stern look on his face, he said towards Melissa. "Melissa, you can bring it over here. I'll help you try some."

"Okay." Melissa happily picked up a souffle and walked towards the bedside, offering it to Jimmy with joy.

Eating sweets could improve one's mood, and once Jimmy's mood improved, he would naturally forgive her.

Thinking of this, she took three steps in two and walked towards the coffee table. She reached out to pick up a cup of milk tea but was stopped by Martha.

"What are you doing?"

Martha frowned slightly and watched her good friend standing in front of her with caution.

She allowed Melissa to give Jimmy sweets occasionally. However, at his age where he was changing teeth frequently, if he ate too many sweets, it would cause tooth decay.

Melissa obviously knew this too. She smiled apologetically and said, "Martha, don't worry. It's easy on the sugar. It won't be too sweet."

Martha pursed her lips tightly and hesitated without speaking.

Jimmy had been paying attention to what was happening here all along.

Seeing that his chance to drink milk tea was about to be ruined made him pout unwillingly.

Melissa saw that her best friend wasn't budging, so she blinked at the latter like a spoiled child.

"Martha, I haven't seen Jimmy drink milk tea for so long!"

Martha glanced at the cup of milk tea on the table but still shook her head firmly. "No."

Jimmy saw that his milk tea would soon be gone, so he immediately whined softly: "Mommy."

Martha looked down at him; she had softened inside before hearing him speak again, "I've been in hospital for a long time and I can't go out either. I've been pitiful enough."

"Drinking milk tea can make people feel better. Mommy, you don't want me unhappy forever, do you?"

Hearing this made Martha sigh helplessly as she waved at Melissa with resignation - oh well! It's just one cup of not-so-sweet-milk-tea after all; there shouldn't be any problem with it!

But after today – no more sweets for Jimmy this month!
