Chapter 621 Trending
Although Steven mocked Samuel and Natalie, he felt happy for them on the inside.
Moments later, the four children got changed and came running down the stairs.
“Uncle Steven.”
Hearing their cute voices made Steven shudder involuntarily.
He knew they were up to no good from how politely they greeted him. Therefore, it was a natural reaction.
“W-What do you want from me? Hmm, name it, and I’ll do everything I can.” He spoke as though he had prepared to die.
Sitting beside Steven, Franklin took a sip of milk before he commented, “Uncle Steven, did you hit your head?”
“Nope.”
“Why do you think we want something from you then?” The boy rolled his eyes.
“Oh? Aren’t you going to ask me for a favor?” Steven cautiously asked, afraid that it was a trap that the children had plotted.
“Uncle Steven, we don’t have anything to ask of you!” Sophia broke off a piece of her croissant and held it out for Steven. “Mommy told us not to bully you. She said you let us be because you adore us, not because you fear us. When we meet bad people, we retaliate. However, if we meet people who like us and treat us well, we can’t take advantage of that and lose our temper.”
Sophia was a glut. Therefore, it was rare to see her share her food with others.
Yet, she was willing to split her croissant with Steven, which meant a lot. As such, he felt touched by her gesture.
“Thank you, Sophia.”
As Steven was about to take the piece from Sophia, Samuel came between them and snatched it away. Then, he took a bite of the pastry.
“Sam, how could you take what Sophia offered me!” Steven stared at Samuel in disbelief.
“Gavin, Steven likes to eat croissants. You can bring him another two plates of it,” Samuel instructed Gavin before turning back to his brother. “It’s a piece from my daughter. Aren’t you afraid you might suffer from diarrhea after eating it?”
