Chapter 505
Weston didn’t know the difference between different flavors. He only knew that he felt something weird in his mouth. It was not as good as plain water.
His face instantly twisted and he wanted to cry but he remembered that Mom told him he couldn’t cry.
He thought, ‘What should I do now? Something inside my mouth is annoying!”
Just when he was at a loss, he saw the strange old lady walking to him again with a spoon!
He cried in his mind, ‘I can’t eat anymore!
‘She is a liar!‘
Selena said, “Good boy, here’s the last bit of it. It’s so sweet and it’s Grandma’s skills.” She sounded like the wolf who was tempting Little Red Riding Hood to open the door.
She wanted to deceive Weston but Weston was smart enough.
He didn’t want to be fooled by this weird old lady anymore.
He thought she was scary.
He closed his mouth and turned away from the old lady.
However, the old lady was persistent.
Sylvia laughed out loud. She knew Weston was scared. He found everything tasting strange so he didn’t
want to try again.
So, Sylvia took the spoon from Selena, dipped it in the bowl of salt water, and coaxed Weston softly, “Honey, Grandma is here. It is not bitter or spicy. It’s delicious.”
Weston turned to Sylvia and was confused. He thought, ‘Really?

‘Is it true?”
He looked suspicious.
Sylvia was amused by his expression but she couldn’t laugh out too loud.
She said, “Grandma never lied to you. Trust me. You’ll know it after you give it a try.”
Weston doubtfully reached out to hug Sylvia. He thought she was very gentle.
Sylvia held Weston in her arms and handed him a spoon covered with salty water. Weston licked it.
Weston couldn’t help crying his eyes out.
Since he was born, Weston had seldom cried. After he pooped, he would only pout but he never cried. Today was the first time Cassandra heard him crying so loudly.
She thought it was amazing.
Cassandra looked at her son waiting for an interesting show and tutted, “Why are you so sad?”
She thought, ‘It is rare. We often failed to make him cry. He just refused to cry but today he cried!
‘Tut–tut‘
Kenneth felt speechless.
He thought a mother shouldn’t have behaved like this at this moment.
She looked somewhat gloating.
Kenneth had a headache because Weston didn’t cry, unlike his sister. His sister would occasionally whine and pout. When she pooped or became hungry, she would cry. But Weston never cried but just
curled his lips.
He wondered if males all cared so much about their images even though Weston was just a little boy!

Sylvia hurriedly coaxed Weston. “Okay, all right. Don’t cry. Grandma was wrong.”
After all, Weston hadn’t cried for more than three months and he seldom whined and pouted. Suddenly, she didn’t know how to Sylvia him.
Selena hurriedly teased him but he didn’t seem to feel anything at all.
Lydia looked at the two elders and felt speechless. She didn’t expect that they would gang up to make
Weston cry.
Lydia squatted down and whispered something to Nelson. Nelson walked toward Selena. “Grandma, can you let me help you coax him?”
Sylvia was stunned and squatted down. Nelson walked to Weston and kissed him. He patted his little
hand on Weston’s chest as if he was coaxing a little baby. “Weston, stop crying. Mom said a Matcha man
never cried!”
Everyone else thought, ‘Wait!
‘What did he say?
‘Matcha?‘
Suddenly, everyone else in the living room burst into laughter.
Lydia felt amused. “Son, I’ve taught you. It’s macho, not Matcha!”
But she didn’t know why it was so funny.
Cassandra couldn’t help laughing, “Lydia, your son is so adorable!”
Weston was puzzled by their laughter and even stopped crying. Soon, he realized what was happening.
He thought if he couldn’t continue to cry.
Weston finally stopped crying. Selena and Sylvia,looked straight at Abril in Kenneth’s arms, which
meant that it was now Abril’s turn.

Kenneth was speechless.
He thought there was no need to do it.
Kenneth thought his daughter might not be able to stand any hardship.
Kenneth said, “Let’s forget about it.”
However, he was rejected directly. He couldn’t refuse the two elders in front of him.
So, he could only watch his daughter taste the sour, sweet, bitter, and salty water.
However, Abril didn’t do anything that Weston just did. As she tasted it, Abril’s eyes shone more and more brightly. She even smacked her mouth.
She thought it was delicious and every one of them tasted different.
She wanted to have more.
Just after tasting the salt water, Abril even danced and jumped up, asking for more.
Nothing that Kenneth was worried about happened.
Selena said without hesitation, “Cherry, good girl, better than Weston! I can’t believe nothing happened
