Chapter 96
After they had finished serving all the dishes, the four men began to leave one by one.
Anthony spoke up, “Ms. Jordan, your meal i s ready.”
“I’m not eating. No matter what you say, it won’t make a difference. You better just give up now!” said Charmine firmly. She needed t o strengthen her resolve to force Anthony to retreat.
At that moment, a soft and adorable voice could be heard, “Mommy, mommy…” It was closely followed by the swaying body of little Chris Bailey running in from outside. With a leap, he landed into Charmine’s embrace.
Charmine furrowed her brow. ” Momo, what are you doing here?”
“Oh, Momo woke up and daddy wasn’t there. I heard daddy was coming to look for you so Momo came here too,” Chris said pitifully while his chubby little hand held onto her arm. 1
“Woo, waa… Momo is hungry. I haven’t eaten anything for the whole day and my tummy is rumbling. It’s making a grrrrr, grrrrr, grrrrr sound,” wailed Chris.
“Oh dear, why didn’t you have anything to eat before leaving the house? Luckily, there’s breakfast here,” Charmine said while lifting Chris and placing him in front of the dining table.
Chris kept holding onto Charmine’s hand while declaring, “I want mommy to eat with me!”
“I’m sorry, my little Momo. Mommy isn’t hungry right now so you’ll have to eat by yourself,” Charmine replied whilst stroking his head.
Chris started pulling on her hand firmly, dragging her so that she would sit next to him. He placed a breakfast set in front of Charmine and pleaded with a soft and endearing voice, “Mummy, please eat with me. Momo is five this year but has never eaten breakfast with my mommy. Momo wants to experience what it’s like to have a mom. Please, I’m asking you just this once.”
The whole time Momo spoke, he continued t o tug on Charmine’s hand, entreating her with a pair of round, sparkling eyes.
How could Charmine resist? She could only say, “Of course.”
