Chapter 1460
“Ellinor, could it be possible that a mix-up happened at the daycare? Perhaps they accidentally dressed Adrian in another kid’s clothes, and we just failed to notice it until now?”
Veronica pondered out loud.
Ellinor contemplated it, agreeing that it was indeed a possibility.
“Alright, let’s go eat. We shouldn’t keep Grandpa and Grandma waiting.”
“Okay.” Veronica nodded and extended her hand towards little Layla, who was quietly sitting by the bed. “Come on, Layla, let’s go eat.”
Layla, a tiny child, seemed to be lost in her thoughts. After hearing her aunt call her, she snapped back to reality, obediently hopped off the bed, and followed her aunt and mommy.
During dinner, Ellinor squinted at ‘Adrian, who was sitting next to Baber. Something seemed off.
‘Adrian’ had forgotten how to use a fork and knife?
Her three children had always been ahead of their peers. They never needed much help when it came to using cutlery.
Yet at this moment, Adrian’ seemed to be having a mini-war with his utensils. He was unable to pick up any food.
This struck Ellinor as odd.
After watching ‘Adrian’ get frustrated and eventually resort to using his hands, Ellinor finally spoke up.
“Adrian, you can’t just use your hands.”
‘Adrian’ seemed oblivious to what she just said. He didn’t even look up at Ellinor. He was too busy savoring the delicious ribs, which he found incredibly tasty.
Normally at home, he had never tasted anything like this before.
After her son ignored her, Ellinor started feeling a bit annoyed. She tapped ‘Adrian’s’ plate. “Mommy is talking to you!”
Tristan finally realized the beautiful lady was talking to him. He looked at Ellinor puzzled, saying, “Mommy, the meat is sweet. It’s so yummy.”
After looking at her child’s adorable face, Ellinor’s annoyance quickly dissipated. She scolded him lovingly, “Even if it’s tasty, you can’t just grab it with your hands. Look at your brother and sister. They’re using cutlery.”
Tristan glanced at his brother, Baber, sitting next to him and then at his little sister, Layla, sitting next to Mommy. They were indeed skillfully using their cutlery.
But he couldn’t..
He wasn’t used to using a knife and a fork at home. He had tried using the cutlery, but he just couldn’t pick anything up.
Would the beautiful lady figure out that he was not her son?
He didn’t want that.
He liked it here. He didn’t want to leave.
The food was so tasty. He wished he could have such warm meals every day.
“Mommy, I was just really hungry. I got a bit impatient and used my hands.”
Her little nephew’s cute and pitiful look tugged at Veronica’s heartstrings. She couldn’t help but speak up for him.
“Let it go, Ellinor. I think Adrian was just really hungry. He was so engrossed in kite watching when we were out that he barely ate anything. Since his hands are already dirty, we might as well let him continue eating like this. We can correct it next time.”
Ellinor remembered that Adrian barely ate anything when they were outside, and it was understandable if he was extremely hungry.
