The piece of chicken looked delicious and there were even traces of steam coming from it.
For Charlie who was already hungry, it was undoubtedly a huge temptation. No matter how strong his willpower was, he could not help but swallow his saliva and try to take the piece of chicken.
However, he raised his small hand and lowered it again. Charlie stared at Madison, and his tone was extremely serious.
"Dad says that we have to eat together at the dining table. We can't steal food from the kitchen."
Then Charlie swallowed. He looked very lovable.
If not for the oil on her hands, Madison would want to pat his little head.
She thought, 'Oh my god! My nephew is so adorable!'
"Don't let your dad know! Look at your uncle..."
Just as Madison was about to talk to Joe who took the plate of grilled steak away, Madison realized that Joe was not in the kitchen.
She could only look away helplessly.
Madison handed the piece of chicken to Charlie.
"You should eat it. No one will know."
"No, I have to wait for everyone to eat together."
Charlie gulped again and shook his head.
Madison could not help but laugh. She did not force Charlie to eat it. Instead, she ate the piece of chicken.
As she washed her fingers, she teased Charlie, "Your father told you not to run around. Why are you hiding here secretly? Do you know how worried everyone is about you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Charlie's little face was filled with sadness and guilt.
"I didn't do it on purpose," he whispered.
"Then can you tell me why you're hiding?"
After washing her hands, Madison squatted down and looked at Charlie, trying to find some clues.
However, Charlie was still wary of this lady he had just met. After looking at her for a moment, he suddenly ran out!
Madison was shocked, and she quickly got up to run after Charlie.
Fortunately, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Joe squatting on the ground with a plate in his hand. She did not have the time to chide Joe. She shouted, "Joe, stop him!"
On the other side, Samuel and Rosalie, who were attracted by the fragrance of the kitchen, appeared near the kitchen. When they saw Charlie in Joe's arms, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god! My little precious, where did you go? Everyone was trying so hard to find you!"
Rosalie hurriedly walked over and took Charlie from Joe's arms. She checked Charlie from head to toe, afraid that he might have hurt himself.
Gina, who was following behind, had tears in her eyes. "It's good that we found Charlie. I'm so afraid that Charlie will run out of the house. If he gets lost, I'll be in deep trouble!"
Charlie looked at the elderly ladies who had tears in their eyes. He was filled with guilt and did not know what to do.
"I'm sorry, Grandma, Gina. I didn't mean to hide and make you sad..."
He wrapped his chubby arms around Rosalie's neck and rubbed his head against her. "Charlie won't do this again. Grandma, don't cry anymore."
His father had told him that his grandmother was sick and that he had to make her happy often. Otherwise, her illness would get worse. Charlie wanted to make Rosalie happy.
"Grandma, the lady in the kitchen cooks very, very fragrant dishes. Let's go eat first, okay? Didn't you say that my aunt is coming back today? If my aunt sees you crying, she will definitely be sad, so Grandma, don't cry, okay?"
Charlie's childish voice made Madison who was behind him, laugh uncontrollably.
She was still wearing the apron that Gina had left behind in the kitchen. With her hands on her waist, she deliberately said angrily, "That's because you secretly ran out to make Grandma worry. Now you are using my dishes to make Grandma happy. That won't do."
