Chapter 206
Holden was still standing there, looking a bit lost, when Jack swooped in with a plate of toast and milk, shoving Yale’s tray aside. “Bro, you’re out of touch. What kid wants to eat plain oatmeal these days? They’re all about this toast and milk combo,” boasted Jack with a smirk.
At the back, Aemon and James were as quiet as statues, just watching to see which breakfast Evangeline would pick.
Evangeline could not believe it. She had just woken up to find the Foster family in a silent showdown. Yale and Jack were in a breakfast battle, while Aemon and James seemed to be taking silent bets. Only Holden, the life of the party, was not picking sides. Instead, he was right there, chattering away in Evangeline’s ear.
Faced with two totally different breakfast options, Evangeline suddenly propped herself up, ready to make her choice.
This day just could not go on like this!
Faced with two breakfasts, if Evangeline picked one, she would tick off the uncle who offered the other.
If she rejected both, she would let down both uncles. It was a lose–lose situation.
Her eyes darted between her uncles as a sly idea took root.
The bottom line was that her uncles had too much time on their hands.
Back when they were not hanging around the Foster family, they were each wrapped up in their own hustle, too busy to poke their noses into her
business.
With Foster Group’s affairs only needing them in the wings and Grandpa Cole in good health, their main job was just to check in on the old man in
turns.
Other than that, they were free as birds.
