Chapter 305: Chapter 304
He awkwardly waved his hand, “Hello, I’m Uncle Taylor, rember ?”
Emmy nodded in her childish voice, “Yes, I rember, I think we saw you before at Grandpa’s birthday party.”
Fatty coldly snorted, “Mommy, you still haven’t explained to why you’re eating alone.”
Ivy River finally ca to her senses, “How did you both get here? It’s not even your dismissal ti yet, who brought you?”
“Don’t change the subject, I’m asking why you’re eating alone, and with a strange man at that.”
Fatty’s words made Alaric Taylor even more embarrassed.
Alaric quickly explained, “Vincent, I’m not a stranger, I knew your mom when we were kids, but I lost contact with her when I went abroad.”
Fatty turned his head and stared at him, “Hello, Uncle, I’m Vincent River, Ivy River’s son, the only male in the River Family, so I have the right to protect my mom.”
Those words.
Ivy River couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “I’m sorry, Alaric, this kid’s been like this since he was little. Please bear with him. He’s afraid I’ll find him a stepdad.”
Alaric laughed and squatted down to look Fatty in the eye, extending his hand:
“Vincent, you can call Uncle Alaric or just call Uncle Taylor, just treat like a friend.”
Fatty scrutinized him for a long ti before slowly extending his little paw to shake his hand.
“This little hand is quite strong.”
“I’m a man, after all.”
Fatty said proudly.
Ivy River stepped forward and patted his head, “Vincent River, you still haven’t told who brought you and your sister here!”
Fatty pouted and remained silent.
Ivy River turned her gaze to Emmy, “Elsa River, you tell , who was it.”
Emmy looked at Ivy River’s gaze with a hint of fear, she tugged at her skirt and whispered, “It was Uncle Hodges who brought us here, and said you were eating here.”
Upon hearing this, Ivy River burst out laughing.
Ah, Alexander Hodges.
“How did your teacher let you go?”
“Last ti the principal took us back ho, Uncle Hodges was there too, he was the one who picked us up… Mommy, did you forget?” Emmy curiously looked at Ivy River.
Ivy River gritted her teeth, “So your teacher knew he wasn’t a bad person, and just let you go this ti?”
Emmy heard Ivy River’s icy tone and thought she was about to punish the teacher.
She hurriedly rushed over and hugged Ivy River’s leg, acting spoiled, “Don’t punish the teacher, Mommy, it’s mainly because my brother and I wanted to co to you for lunch, and also because Uncle Hodges said you were looking for us.”
Fatty quickly added, “Also, Mommy, it’s only been an hour. Generally speaking, you can’t really learn much in the last hour. The kindergarten knowledge is very easy for , I can answer with my eyes closed.”
Ivy River worked hard to suppress her anger, “Where is Alexander Hodges?”
She also knew that it was Alexander Hodges who tricked the teacher, and she was very clear about his intentions.
So she wasn’t going to bla the teacher.
Every debt has its debtor, whoever caused the trouble will bear the consequences.
Emmy imdiately dashed outside, looking around eagerly.
She turned around with innocent wide eyes, “Oh, Uncle Hodges brought us here just now, but now we can’t find him, don’t know where he went.”
Fatty directly pulled her back, closed the door, and with a small adult-like tone said:
“No need to look, Uncle Hodges the turtle is scared of mom finding out, so he just slipped away. He’s so smart, there’s no way he’d stay and wait for mom to scold him.”
“Oh right~ Brother, you’re so smart. I actually thought of that a long ti ago, but didn’t say anything,” Emmy cheerfully said and sat obediently beside Ivy River, “Mommy, I want at!”
Alaric Taylor got two child seats.
Emmy obediently sat inside.
Fatty directly sat on a grown-up chair, “Those things are for toddlers. I don’t need them, they’re a burden for .”
“This chair isn’t like the ones at ho, it’s lower. It would be tiring for you to eat while sitting on it, go use the child seat.”
Ivy River placed the child seat next to him.
Fatty still refused, “I won’t sit, I want to eat with all of you. I’m already an adult, not a child.”
Alaric Taylor wanted to say sothing.
But saw Ivy River wave her hand, “Let him be, but rember, little man, if you can’t reach the food, just call or Uncle Taylor to help with it.”
“No need.”
Fatty shook his head dominantly, and then struggled to reach the food.
Alaric Taylor reached out and added so food to Fatty’s plate, “Using the serving chopsticks to add it for you, don’t worry, it’s clean.”
He felt uneasy seeing Fatty staring at him like he was watching a thief.
“Thanks, Uncle Taylor, but I can serve myself, so you don’t need to.”
A al.
Fatty’s gaze never left Alaric Taylor, as if he had done sothing heinous.
Emmy also sensed the discomfort at the dining table; she was uncharacteristically quiet throughout the al.
After they finished, she wriggled out, “Mommy, when are we going ho?”
“In a little while, okay? Mommy still has to talk to Uncle Taylor about so things, would you and your brother like to go out and play for a while? I think there’s a children’s playground in this restaurant too.”
Emmy, very excited, bounced up and down, “Yay, yay, I saw it just now, I want to go play.”
“Not going,” Fatty said coldly.
Emmy’s little mouth imdiately pouted, “Mommy~ look at brother, he’s so annoying, I want to play.”
“If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I’ll take you there, and then co to pick you up later, okay?”
Fatty commanded.
Emmy insisted, “No, I want you to co play with , there’s a building blocks ga, and I want to build a super big castle with you!”
“Those are for little kids, you little fool. You’re a big kid now, so don’t go competing with little ones for toys.”
Fatty refused with a frown.
“No!”
Emmy said and tears imdiately welled up, “Mommy, boohoo, I’m so upset, brother wasn’t like this before, even when he disliked the playground he would still go with …”
Ivy River directly commanded, “Fatty, hurry up and play with your sister for a while, don’t make angry. Mommy will talk to Uncle Taylor and co right back.”
Fatty remained unmoved.
Emmy peeked open an eye and glanced around, realizing the situation, she cried even louder.
Fatty reluctantly got up and opened the door, “Let’s go, Elsa River, stop pretending over there. If you keep pretending, I won’t take you.”
Upon hearing this, Emmy dropped the tissues she had placed on her eyes.
Happily, she skipped and hopped towards the door.
“Goodbye, Mommy! Goodbye, Uncle Taylor! I’m going to the playground!”
Ivy River smiled and instructed, “You two take it easy, play for a while and co back. Be good, don’t run around.”
“Okay!”
This sound ca as Emmy had already run far away.
“Sorry about that, the two kids are always like this. It’s inevitable they make noise, sorry to let you see that.”
Alaric Taylor smiled dotingly, “Kids, right? Being lively is normal. Emmy has such a good personality, Fatty too, but he’s sohow more mature.”
“You’ve noticed, this child has been mature since he was little.”
Ivy River’s expression subtly changed as she said this, “Actually, it’s my fault, they’ve only had maternal love since they were little. I didn’t provide fatherly love for the siblings, so their childhood lacked sothing.”
Alaric Taylor looked at Ivy River’s guilty face, empathetically saying, “It’s not too late for fatherly love now.”
