「Naless Manor.」
「In the dining room.」
Only three people sat at the long dining table: one adult and two children.
The table was laden with delicious food, a mix of Chinese and Western dishes.
Jimmy glared at Noah Reyes, his dark eyes full of resentnt. "Pervert Uncle, where is the dragon and phoenix at?" he demanded.
Ever since he saw Noah Reyes taking advantage of his mommy, he always spoke to Noah Reyes with annoyance.
Because deep down, he actually liked Noah Reyes. Even though Noah Reyes had taken advantage of his mommy, he just couldn't bring himself to truly dislike the man.
Maybe it was because the two of them looked so alike.
Noah Reyes's face twitched slightly, but he tried to speak to his son gently. "Billy, Daddy is not a pervert."
"You're not my Daddy!" Jimmy retorted with even more irritation.
He had said it countless tis, yet this uncle still called himself Daddy. Was he really his Daddy or not?
Jimmy decided that when he got ho, he would definitely ask his elder maternal uncle or his wife, the aunt. He had a feeling they knew who his daddy was. He wouldn't ask Mommy because he didn't want to see her sad; every ti the subject of his daddy ca up, Mommy would beco unhappy.
Noah Reyes looked deeply into his son's eyes, a flicker of pain in their depths. He quickly concealed it and pushed a plate of snake at in front of his son, smiling lightly. "Here is the dragon at."
Ivan and Jimmy glanced at each other. Their little heads imdiately drew close to ticulously examine the plate of snake at. Then, they looked at each other again, and Ivan spoke up, "This at... it's kind of like... well, you know, that other at. Anyway, it's definitely not dragon at."
Noah Reyes still smiled faintly as he answered, "This is snake at."
"Snake at? Then why did you say it was dragon at? You're a liar!" Ivan shouted.
"Yeah, a liar!" Jimmy chid in.
Noah Reyes chuckled. These two little rascals were smart, but no matter how clever, they were still just four-year-old children. They were far from being his match. He picked up a piece of snake at and put it into Jimmy's bowl, then another piece into Ivan's bowl, chuckling. "The snake is the dragon's previous life."
"Huh?"
The brothers exchanged glances.
The snake is the dragon's previous life?
Their current knowledge wasn't enough to refute Noah Reyes's claim, so they could only stare blankly at the snake at.
After a mont, Jimmy finally asked reluctantly, "Then where's the phoenix at?"
Noah Reyes's smile grew even wider. He had never laughed as heartily as he did at this mont.
He pushed a large plate of white-cut chicken in front of the two children, saying with a smile, "This is the phoenix at."
The brothers' eyes widened.
Chicken at is phoenix at? Does he really think we're three-year-olds?
But this ti, the brothers didn't question him. They just stared at Noah Reyes with their big, dark, round eyes, waiting for him to spin more tales.
"This is a rooster. Like the phoenix, it has a beautiful appearance, so they're family. That makes it phoenix at." Noah Reyes never knew he could be so good at making things up.
"Uncle, in that case, is your at monkey at?" Ivan asked innocently, indirectly accusing Noah Reyes of talking nonsense.
"I think Uncle's at is ape at. Monkeys are only distant relatives, but apes are close relatives," Jimmy also said with wide-eyed innocence.
Noah Reyes broke out in a cold sweat.
These two little devils were so young! Not only were their refutation skills strong, but their knowledge also far surpassed that of an average kindergartener.
Seeing Noah Reyes's astonished expression, the brothers exchanged another glance, a crafty glimr flashing briefly in their eyes.
Noah Reyes gave a dry chuckle. "Alright, co on, let's eat," he said, beckoning the brothers to their food.
Ivan picked up his soup spoon and started with the soup. Jimmy, who preferred steak, grabbed a knife and fork and dug in.
Noah Reyes quietly watched them eat.
As long as they were willing to eat, he was content.
He didn't pay much attention to what Ivan ate, but he carefully noted everything Jimmy ate, thinking to himself, "So, my son likes these dishes."
Soon, the brothers had eaten and drunk their fill.
"How was it?" Noah Reyes asked.
"diocre," Ivan replied.
"Barely palatable. It won't kill anyone," Jimmy answered.
Such insulting brats! Noah Reyes grumbled internally.
They'd eaten their fill, yet they called it diocre and barely palatable, claiming it wouldn't kill anyone. This was food prepared by a Five-Star Hotel chef, and they dismissed it as worthless! If the chef had been there to hear their critique, he would have been furious enough to cough up blood.
The brothers hopped down from their stools and began to wander around the dining room.
Noah Reyes didn't know what they were up to. He assud they were just exploring his small dining room, so he watched them with a gentle smile, his gaze mostly following his son's small figure.
Deon Myers ca in. Seeing that the three of them had finished eating, he ordered his n to start clearing the table.
"Jimmy, let's play cat and mouse, okay?" Ivan suddenly said to Jimmy, blinking his big eyes.
"Sure!" Jimmy imdiately agreed.
And so, the two of them started a ga of chase in the dining room, which was neither particularly large nor especially small.
Seeing the children playing happily, Noah Reyes's smile softened even more, his eyes filled with a deep longing. What he yearned for was a family reunion, to be able to watch his children laugh and cry.
Their ga of chase quickly beca an ordeal for the n in black who were trying to clear the tables. The two boys kept darting around, making it easy to collide with the staff. The n had to be extrely careful to avoid them, not wanting to drop the plates and dishes they were carrying.
CRASH!
CLANG!
The sound of dishes shattering on the floor echoed, one after another.
The brothers seed to be doing it deliberately. The more careful the n in black were, the more the boys ran into them, knocking plates and bowls to the ground. Uneaten food spilled everywhere.
"Oh, Young Masters, please stop this mischief!" Deon Myers exclaid, his head starting to throb as he took in the scene.
In monts, the entire dining room was a complete ss. The floor was covered with food and slick with grease. Chairs and other furnishings had been intentionally pushed around and knocked askew by the brothers, adding to the chaos.
"Tee-hee, Billy, co chase !" Ivan shouted, seeing that they had caused enough destruction. He imdiately darted outside, with Jimmy hot on his heels.
Deon Myers ordered his n to clean up imdiately. He then approached Noah Reyes, who still had a smile on his face, and asked cautiously, "Master, about this...?"
Noah Reyes just smiled and waved his hand. "It's nothing. As long as your young masters are happy, that's all that matters."
He paid no mind to the utter chaos in the room, stood up, and walked towards the exit. Hearing footsteps heading upstairs, he followed them.
