Chapter 427
Marguerite found herself flabbergasted after saying those words.
How on earth did she get overwhelmed by Frederick’s son? Strange indeed!
Yet when she saw the little boy’s innocent and radiant smile, her heart filled with genuine joy.
It seemed like his smile could brighten her entire day.
Soon, a pot of steaming instant noodles was ready, wafting with its inviting aroma.
The two little ones eagerly went to help, vying to serve Marguerite first.
Frederick, feeling ignored, was speechless and displeased, his handsome face clouded over.
He had done all the work, yet Marguerite was the one who gained!
What ungrateful little ones!
Hayes managed to serve Marguerite a plate first, and Teresa, missing the chance, felt a bit disappointed.
Frederick next to her cleaned his hands and cleared his throat meaningfully.
Teresa, sharp as a tack, of course understood his hint. She chuckled and said teasingly, “Hayes’ daddy, you’re an
adult, do you really need a kid to serve you? Shame, shame!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrederick was once again speechless.
Teresa then climbed onto the stool and served herself a plateful, leaving only a little for the man.
“Oh dear! Hayes’ daddy, maybe you should make yourself another plate, or you’ll go hungry!”
After serving herself, Teresa couldn’t resist making a snide comment.
Humph!
It was a punishment for him offending mommy and not apologize. Even though he made her a midnight snack,
Teresa hadn’t decided whether to forgive him yet!
Frederick wore a helpless expression. If it weren’t for the fact that the offender was Teresa, he would have lost his
temper!
But this little one sure had a temper. Appeasing her wasn’t going to be easy.
Despite his inner frustration, Frederick patiently got a new pack of instant noodles and started cooking.
Fifteen minutes later, he could finally sit down to eat.
Just as he sat down, he heard Marguerite chastising Teresa, “Eating instant noodles so late is not healthy, you
shouldn’t have too much food late night next time, understand?”
Teresa pouted and blinked her eyes, trying to deflect with cuteness.
However, Hayes inadvertently spilled the beans, “Late night snack… healthy! Teresa… eats them… a lot.”
Marguerite paused, “Was it your idea to eat instant noodles?”
When Teresa realized she couldn’t hide it anymore, she quickly covered Marguerite’s mouth, and put a finger to her
lips, “Shh! Mommy, lower your voice! You’re so loud, you’re going to draw the crowd! Then, grandma will start
nitpicking again!”
Before Marguerite could finish her sentence, she was cut off by the little one, leaving her feeling frustrated. Oh,
how she was at her wits’ end with Teresa!
Frederick, on the side, couldn’t hide his amusement, but his smile carried a hint of sarcasm.
It seemed that Marguerite didn’t have a high status in front of Teresa, being manipulated by a three-year-old.
Thinking about it, he felt happier and started enjoying his instant noodles with increased appetite.
Strange, why did it taste weird? Could it be that he didn’t season it well, causing it to taste off?
At that moment, all three inhaled simultaneously, catching a whiff of a foul smell.
Teresa sniffed around on the table, and when she got to Frederick’s plate of instant noodles, she gasped in shock!
“Hayes, didn’t you smell anything off about the instant noodles?”
Frederick glanced at the instant noodles, his sense of smell having been impaired for many years, leading to his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtaste buds being less sensitive than the average person’s.
“What smell?”
“You really can’t smell it?” Teresa was surprised, then began to feel troubled, “But you’ve already eaten it, should I
say it or not…”
Frederick put down his fork, frowning, “Speak!”
Teresa also frowned, looking apologetic, “Your pack of instant noodles seems to be expired for quite some time. I
was in a hurry to pack snacks today, didn’t check the date and brought it over… It stinks, really stinks…”
Suddenly, Frederick’s face turned pale.
His already insensitive taste buds suddenly became abnormally sensitive, nausea rising up inch by inch from his
stomach.
Without any hesitation, Frederick rushed into the bathroom, and began to retch.
Teresa was laughing delightedly, mumbling under her breath, “Humph! You deserve it! For bullying mommy!”
Hayes, on the side, couldn’t find it amusing. He was always the peacemaker, so he quickly fetched a glass of water
and nervously handed it to Marguerite, “For… for daddy to drink…”
