NOVPUBChapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Massive Accident Scene_1 Chapter 1228 -1228: Massive Accident Scene_1 The little guy even wanted to hurry everyone to finish eating faster, eager for the cake to be brought out quickly.
However, due to the etiquette he’d been taught since he was young, he knew it would be impolite.
So he held back with difficulty.
Finally, dinner was almost over.
Aunt Evans cleared the plates away.
Cindy Clarke then took the cake out of the refrigerator.
...
As the cake passed by the little guy, he immediately raised his head and took a deep whiff.
His little nose twitched, trying hard to inhale as much of the cake’s sweet scent as possible.
Adrian Zhekova found it amusing and playfully tapped his nose.
“Look at you, so eager.
It’s not like Cindy has ever deprived you of dessert.”
“But Cindy says that eating too much isn’t good for my health.
She says it’s easy to gain weight and get cavities.
She only lets me eat a small piece once a week.” The little guy imitated the size of the small piece, no larger than a triangular slice from a dessert shop.
“That’s already quite a lot,” the Old Madam remarked.
“Even adults don’t necessarily eat a piece every week.”
“Exactly,” agreed Cindy, placing the cake in the middle of the table.
“In my opinion, even a piece a week is too much for you.”
If it weren’t for the little guy’s pitiful and adorable begging, Cindy wouldn’t have agreed to let him have a piece weekly.
The little guy stared at the cake, swallowing gulps of saliva in anticipation.
Cindy Clarke cut up the cake and distributed it to everyone.
And only then was the last piece given to the little guy.
However, she didn’t cut a smaller piece for him simply because he was a kid.
The little guy scanned the pieces everyone else got and was very pleased to see that they were all roughly the same size.
Swallowing another mouthful of saliva, he treated the cake with reverence, like he was part of a very important unboxing ceremony.
He carefully dug out a small piece of cream with his fork.
Because it was homemade by Cindy, there was significantly more cream than what you would find in any store-bought cake.
The little guy grunted with satisfaction before taking a big bite.
The sweet cream melted smoothly in his mouth, filling it with a rich creamy flavor.
Even though it was sweetened with Xylitol, Cindy didn’t add a lot.
After all, although Xylitol is used as a sugar substitute, eating too much of it is not beneficial either.
A small amount is fine.
Moreover, a lightly sweet taste is much more appealing than an overly sweet one.
So the cream was only slightly sweet, and not too strong.
It didn’t overshadow the natural creamy flavor of the cream.
Considering that there was also fruit to supplement the dessert, a strong sweet taste was unnecessary.
For his first bite, the little guy only ate the cream.
For his second, he pricked a piece of strawberry with his fork, scooped a large chunk of cream, and ate both together.
The strawberry gave the cream a slightly sour touch, creating a sweet and sour taste that was reminiscent of strawberry-flavored milk or strawberry ice cream.
Next, the little guy combined the cream, cake, and the mango and peach pieces mixed with the cream in the middle of the cake all in one go.
Third Old Master Zhekova watched his great-grandson, chuckling at the unique way the little boy savored his dessert.
“Now that’s what I call a budding food critic.
Our little Morgan appreciates the intricate layers in his food, truly reflecting Cindy’s influence.”
Old Master Zhekova joined in with a smile, saying, “Even if he doesn’t follow in Cindy’s footsteps to learn cooking, he should at least have some culinary knowledge to manage our company in the future.”
“Yes, exactly!” The little guy nodded eagerly.
“That’s why I need to eat more delicious food.
It’s not just because I love eating, it’s also for my future work!”
Not a single soul believed his words.
Everyone just ignored his claim, complimenting how tasty the cake was instead.
The little guy was left speechless.
He had just come back not too long ago, right?
Why did he feel like he was about to lose his popularity?
The little guy peeked at Peggy Lewis’s belly.
When his baby uncle was born in the future, would he completely lose his favored position then?
Right, older kids couldn’t compete with little babies for cuteness after all!
When they were young, everything was most adorable.
The reason he was able to win over the Old Madam, to the point she even forgot about his grandmother, was purely because he was cute enough!
But a cuter presence was about to appear in the near future.
This sudden realization filled the little guy with a deep sense of imminent crisis.
At the same time, he started to sympathize with his grandmother’s feelings when he first arrived.
As he thought about this, he cast a sorrowful look in Victoria Wheeler’s direction.
Victoria Wheeler: “…”
At that moment, there seemed to be an unusual connection between her and the little guy.
She instantly understood the meaning behind his gaze.
Immediately, both of them turned their gazes simultaneously on Peggy Lewis’s tummy.
Peggy Lewis: “…”
What on earth was the meaning of Victoria and the little guy’s look?
For some reason, Peggy Lewis felt her nose twitch.
Then, the little guy and Victoria turned their heads together towards the Old Madam.
The Old Madam was ready to take a big bite of her cake, but the intense stares made her feel somewhat uneasy.
“To think that even eating a piece of cake would be no easy task for me,” thought the Old Madam.
With her age, she needed to maintain a balanced diet to supplement all the nutrition her body lacked.
At the same time, she had to be cautious not to have too much sugar or fatty food.
It was precisely because she paid such close attention to these things that she and the Old Master could continue to maintain a good condition even at their age.
But sometimes, the Old Madam wanted to indulge a little.
She sometimes craved for something sweet like cake.
Finally, today seemed like the perfect chance, she only planned to have a few bites.
However, the looks she received from Victoria and the little guy instantly disrupted her good mood.
“Mum.”
“Great Grandmother.”
They both called out simultaneously.
The Old Madam: “…”
“What’s wrong?” she asked, trying to find out what had prompted their simultaneous calling of her.
Victoria Wheeler was the first to voice out, “When Peggy gives birth, aren’t you going to end up loving the baby most?”
Little guy added, “Great Grandmother, when the time comes, will you love baby uncle more or me?”
Immediately, Victoria Wheeler protested, “Wait a minute?
Mother, you told the little guy that you loved him most?”
Everyone: “…”
A huge shocking scene unfolded in front of them.
After years of eluding the question, the Old Madam had finally slipped up!
The Old Madam sighed and momentarily lost the desire to eat her cake.
She put her fork and the cake temporarily back onto the small plate before responding, “By the time your brother is born, your Third Great Grandfather will be there to dote on him.
It’ll be a long time before I get a chance!”
The little guy blinked and asked, “So does that mean, even after my adorable little uncle is born, you’ll still love me the most?”
“Mhmm!” The Old Madam quickly nodded in agreement.
After all, the arrival of his little uncle was still in the future, so for now she could give whatever promises she wanted.
But of course, when the time comes, she would definitely love the adorable little newborn the most.
As she glanced at the little guy, she thought to herself that despite his cuteness, he still couldn’t beat the cuteness of an adorable newborn.
Much to her surprise, upon hearing the Old Madam’s response, Victoria Wheeler instantly grew jealous.
“Mother, didn’t you say that you loved me most?”
