âGreat, Iâm waiting! It doesnât matter if itâs a boy or a girl,â said Sophia.
Meanwhile, Maya came out of the kitchen, and Sophia was deeply concerned when she saw her. âMaya, itâs only been a short period of time since I last saw you, and youâve gotten skinner! You canât lose any more weight!â
Maya, however, calmly replied, âGrandma, it feels great to lose some weight. Now, I can wear whatever I want. When I was young, Iâm especially envious of Nina because she could wear clothes that I couldnât fit in. There was once when I secretly tried on her clothes but accidentally tore them! Now, I can wear any clothes that Nina can wear! Therefore, itâs good being skinnier.â
âThatâs not good at all! Look at you! Youâre so skinny! What if you are malnutrition? Come here and sit with me. Grandma wants to make sure that you eat enough.â Sophia instantly instructed.
Maya cheekily nodded and sat beside Sophia.
Ever since she was young, Grandma was the only person who never asked Maya to lose her weight.
When Evan and Nicole were not around, the quadruplets would be left alone in the Seet Residence. Nonetheless, Sophia was always worried that she would be hungry at night. Hence, she would ask the maids to secretly send her cheesecakes. Although Maya didnât like cheesecakes, she knew that it was her grandmotherâs favorite. Thus, she didnât want to disappoint her, so she would happily finish all of the cheesecakes.
Perhaps this was the reason why she failed to lose weight when she was young.
When they were having their dinner, Sophia kept adding food into Mayaâs bowl, afraid that she would lose more weight. Hence, Davin couldnât help but utter, âMom, youâre going to make her sick. Sheâs not eating as much as compared to the last time. Heck, even me myself will not be able to finish these!â
Sophia lowered her head and gazed at Maya. Indeed, the three big plates by her side were all filled with food. Thus, she gently smiled. âMaya, weâll finish this together. Iâll share with you.â
âGrandma, here, Iâve made you your favorite dish. Why donât you give it a try?â Maya politely passed a slice of roasted pork to Sophia.
Sophia accepted it gracefully. âSure!â
âBy the way, Mom, where is Dad?â Evan asked.
To everyoneâs surprise, Sophiaâs annoyance immediately showed. âDonât mention about your Dad when we are eating. Itâll ruin the perfect meal that we are having.â
Huh? What does she mean by that?
The group looked at each other bewilderedly. Needless to say, they knew very well that something was going on. However, none of them continued to pester Sophia as she was looking quite grim.
âEvan, the Seet Residence has its own chef. So donât worry about Dad, and letâs just enjoy our meal.â Everyone began eating again after Davin finished his sentence.
âMaya, youâre such a skilled chef! Even the chef at Levant Winery cannot compete with your brilliance. If you were to open a winery, business will surely be good,â said Levant.
âIâm not thinking about opening my own winery. Rather, I want to open a food plaza. This way, Iâll be providing satisfying everyoneâs tummy!â Maya thought otherwise.
Immediately, Levant was intrigued and looked at her excitingly. âWhat do you mean?â
âMaya, donât tell him about your ideas. Heâll steal it!â Davin reminded Maya.
Maya hastily assured, âUncle Davin, donât worry about it. Iâll not disclose my idea. Even Daddy doesnât know about my plans regarding the flood plaza.â
âThatâs the spirit! I agree that you should keep it confidential,â Davin was pleased with Mayaâs maturity.
Suddenly, Sheilaâs phone rang. It was Tiffany, and she needed Sheilaâs help.
âWait⦠Tiffany, what did you say?â Sheila exclaimed.
Tiffanyâs voice was shaking. âLuke is sick. My company is now experiencing some problems that I must attend to. Can you help me to check up on him?â
After that, Sheila looked at Levant and switched to speakerphone while asking deliberately, âTiffany, you mentioned that your son is sick. Is it serious?â
Tiffany further explained the situation. âHeâs at the hospital now. Only the nanny is with him, and I canât head there right now. Iâm worried sick, and I need your helpâ¦â
