Baby was fine with using cutlery, but he tended to make a mess.
Still, it was nothing since there were plenty of servants around the house, and Irene did not have to do anything.
Once Baby had his fill, they left, picking up Tommy around five when school was out.
Irene had both her boys share a room so that they would bond.
Tommy took a bath first, while Baby was too young to do it himself. Irene helped him and wrapped him in a towel before she carried him back into his room.
Finding Tommy reading a book, Irene helped Baby get dry while asking, "What are you reading? You look like you're suddenly older."
Tommy blinked. "But I am the older brother."
Irene pinched his cheek, "Yes, and you're all grown up."
Once she was done helping Baby get dressed, Baby threw himself at Tommy, hugging him and kissing his cheeks, calling out cutely, "Tommy, Tommy…"
"You're heavy." Tommy shoved him.
Irene smiled as she watched them bond and said, "Take care of Baby. I'll take a bath, and then I'll read you a bedtime story."
"Okay, don't worry. I'll watch him so that he doesn't fall." Tommy nodded.
Baby had cried for a long time after he fell off the bed some time ago.
Irene smiled at him. "I believe you."
She took around an hour to return after her bath, since she had to dry her hair.
Wearing a sweater with trousers, she entered the boys' room to find them playing on the bed, with the sheets left a mess and the blanket left on the floor.
