Chapter 764 Sudden Turn Of Events
There were other dishes on the table—deviled crab, crab cake, and more. They had even ordered bisque. Every dish on the table was dishes that Natalie loved eating, so she enjoyed every moment she bit into her food.
Halfway through, Natalie’s phone rang.
It was a video call from her four children.
After cleaning her hands, Natalie accepted the call and began chatting with them.
Franklin, Sophia, Xavian, and Clayton were all squeezed in front of the camera as they asked in unison, “Mommy, where are you? When are you coming back?”
As she stared at the table full of delectable dishes, she muttered guiltily, “Mommy’s out having fun. I might come home a little later tonight.”
“Is Mommy eating? Can Sophia see what you’re eating?” Sophia softly asked.
Natalie nodded, and she turned the camera around to show her children the food on the table.
Her children were all eating nutritious meals prepared by Gavin at home. On the other hand, she was indulging in delicious food. It somehow felt wrong to her.
A moment later, Natalie turned the camera back and looked at her children on the screen.
Sophia said, “Mommy, I learned that too much crab is bad for your health, so remember to drink more water and hydrate yourself!”
Franklin said, “Mommy, Sophia’s right. You have to take care of yourself even though you’re enjoying your meal.”
Xavian chimed in, “Mommy, if you like any particular dish, remember to send me a photo of it. I’ll learn how to make the dish for you.”
Clayton also added, “Mommy, if Xavian’s going to make the dish for you, then I’ll help him deshell the crabs.”
At that moment, Natalie was speechless.
She thought that the children would grumble about her enjoying a good meal, but as it turned out, the words that came out of their mouths were endearing ones.
