In the restaurant on the first floor, Tobias Clark swung his short little legs, anxiously asking Scott Harris, âUncle Harris, why hasnât my woman come down yet? I want to go upstairs to check on her.â
Scott Harris always patiently advised him, âYoung Master, Baron Lawrence ordered that no one is allowed upstairs. Please wait a bit longer; Ms. Clark should be coming down soon. Baron even sent honey water upstairs just now.â
âBut I didnât see my woman come down.â Tobias Clark voiced his dissatisfaction childishly, âAnd whatâs with that cup of honey water? Why did the Dubious Man have to wait for the boiling water to cool before pouring the honey in? We waited for forty minutes! He could have hurried up and finished pouring so we could call her down for dinner!â
âHoneyâs cell structure can decompose easily, and using hot water would destroy its nutritional structure. Drinking it like that would be pointless.â
Tobias Clark was only five years old and, no matter how smart, he still couldnât understand biological structures. Scott Harrisâs complex explanation could be simplified in his understanding as âhoney shouldnât be mixed with hot water.â He didnât understand and widened his eyes, âWhy not use cold water then? Cold water can mix quickly too. Wouldnât it be the same if we quickly used cold water to mix and then gave it to her to drink?â
âWellâ¦â Scott Harris was taken aback by the question, then said, âPerhaps itâs because Ms. Clark hasnât had a good appetite lately. Baron is worried that drinking cold water might upset her stomach.â
Tobias Clark pouted and remained silent.
His own woman hasnât had a good appetite since yesterday, and she didnât seem to have much energy. He was really worried.
But that annoying Dubious Man wouldnât let him go up to see Enna Clark, even denying access to the maids who were supposed to clean.
Tobias Clark was still worried about his woman being bullied and jumped off his stool, preparing to find an opportunity to sneak up to the second floor.
Enna Clark had already come down the stairs.
His eyes were sharp, and he spotted Enna Clark immediately as she descended. He sprinted over, shouting, âMy woman.â
Enna Clark was embraced fully by Tobias, nearly knocked over in the process, but thankfully, she managed to steady herself.
Tobias Clark was already holding onto her leg and raising his head. His big, worried eyes seemed angry and brimming with concern, âWhy didnât you come down for lunch? Donât you know how worried I was? If something had happened to youâ¦â
His eyes were already reddening, and he fiercely threatened, âIf something happened to you, tomorrow I would forget you and let that Dubious Man find me a beautiful new mommy.â
Now Baron Lawrence had already found him a beautiful new mommy⦠Enna Clark cursed inwardly, but she couldnât help but feel heartache when she saw his tearful little face. She squatted down to coax him, âIâm sorry, darling. Mummy was just too tired yesterday, and I overslept today. Itâs fine, donât cry.â
Tobias Clark turned around, wiping his eyes, and stubbornly said, âWho said I cried? I didnât cry!â
âYes, yes, you didnât cry. Mummy saw it wrong.â Enna pulled the little guyâs shoulders to turn him around and kissed his cheek. âThere, Iâve come down now, havenât I? I heard you wouldnât eat, so I hurried down. Iâm so hungry now, come on, letâs eat together.â
Tobias Clark still pouted, his mood much better, and he no longer looked on the verge of tears. He held onto her hand, chattering like a little adult while they walked, âEnna, youâre not eating enough. You need to eat more tonight.â
