Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3645

 “Okay,” Sonny replied happily. “Mom, I eat by myself now. I don’t need Auntie to feed me, and I don’t make a mess on the table anymore. I’m going to race Titus to see who can eat faster and better.” 
Titus quickly joined in, waving politely at Liberty. “Good morning, Auntie Hunt. Have you eaten yet?” 
Liberty smiled. “Yes, I’ve had breakfast and am on my way back to work. You and Sonny should eat more so you can grow tall and strong.” 
Jane chimed in, “Sister Liberty, don’t encourage them to eat more. They’re both big eaters already! I’m worried they might overeat.” 
Liberty knew Sonny loved food. He was raised by Serenity, who was a foodie herself, so it was no surprise Sonny became one too. He used to be picky, especially about vegetables, but Liberty made sure he had some with every meal. Now, he eats them without fuss. 
Titus, too, had a big appetite and wasn’t picky. He ate more than Sonny because he burned so much energy practicing martial arts every day. 
Whenever Titus returned to FC Manor, his appetite amazed Jane. She was always concerned he might eat too much, so she tried to control how much he ate. But Titus would still say he was hungry and go searching for more food. 
Most of the snacks in the house disappeared thanks to Titus. The kitchen was stocked with various treats, and when he got hungry, he would nibble on something. 
Titus didn’t like overly sweet snacks, so the Johnson family’s treats were only lightly sweetened. Jane, who loved sweets, found it hard to enjoy snacks with Titus since they didn’t have the same taste. 
But the family made sure to have special snacks just for Titus, which the old lady Johnson also enjoyed occasionally. She preferred less sweet treats as well. 
Liberty laughed. “It’s fine. It’s a blessing to have a good appetite. Kids run around all day, and when they’re full, they burn off the energy quickly. They won’t get fat.” 
Titus had grown taller but wasn’t chubby. There was a time he gained some weight, but Jane managed his diet, and his masters kept him busy with activities, so he quickly slimmed down. 
The old miracle doctor didn’t approve of children being overweight. He always insisted that everyone maintain a healthy weight, especially kids. 
Titus looked at Liberty and asked, “Auntie Hunt, when will you come back? Sonny said he misses you a lot, and I miss you too.” 
Liberty replied, “I’ll be back soon. When Sonny comes home, you can come stay at our house for a while. Would you like to keep Sonny company?” 
Titus glanced at Jane and answered, “Auntie Hunt, I’ll have to ask my mom and Master. If they agree, I can go with Sonny to play. But with the New Year coming, I might not be able to.” 
Titus understood that his family didn’t let him go out to play easily. He could only travel if he was with his adoptive parents or going somewhere with Lilian or his masters. But when the masters traveled, they didn’t take him along, saying he was too young and that they didn’t need his help with luggage. 
Titus pouted slightly, thinking it was silly for the masters to expect a kid like him to help with luggage when they traveled.
