Once they return, Evan would feed her with tonic.
He was going to make her learn from Maya in eating.
With that thought in mind, he turned to look at the children. Maya had a worried look on her face, and so were the other three children.
They had lost the energy and vitality in them.
Feeling upset, Evan thought to himself. Nicole, if youâre done sleeping, itâs time to wake up. The kids are worried about you.
John entered the room with some takeaways in his hands. As Evan had no appetite, he told the children to eat instead.
However, the greedy Maya was rooted to her spot. She was rubbing her hands together with an unusually grave expression on her face.
âCome, Maya, have your dinner. Thereâs your favorite dish in here.â
Maya shook her head, refusing to look at it.
The other three children, too, said that they were not hungry.
Evan turned to look at them and suddenly ordered, âGo and eat now!â
Theyâre still growing at this age. How can they not eat?
Moreover, Nicole is already out of danger. Sheâll be waking soon.
If she finds out that her kids are starving themselves while waiting for her to wake up, sheâll definitely feel upset.
When Kyle and Juan saw the wrath of their father, they shared a look before walking over for their dinner obediently.
Nina, too, stood up. Although she was not hungry, she knew that after eating, she would have more energy to stay up and wait for her mother to wake.
âMaya, come over for your dinner.â
âThatâs right. You must be hungry,â Juan stated.
Maya had skipped lunch, and her round stomach would definitely be growling by now.
However, Maya still shook her head stubbornly.
Wow. Even the foodie is refusing to eat. What a surprise.
Evan knew Maya was blaming herself. She felt she was the one responsible for her motherâs accident, and she was punishing herself by not eating.
However, he knew that the accident had nothing to do with Maya. It was just a coincidence that it happened at the time when Nicole went out to buy snacks with Maya.
Sheâs still so young, but sheâs thinking in this way. How stressful must she feel right now?
He stood up and walk to Maya, then carried her up into his arms. Gently, he murmured, âGo and have your dinner.â
âI donât want to eat.â At that, Mayaâs tears fell.
Her hands kept fidgeting with the edge of her shirt.
âMaya, what happened to Mommy isnât your fault, okay?â
Evan had planned to console his daughter.
However, right after he finished, Maya could no longer withstand the guilt in her, and she started wailing.
âMaya, youâre too noisy for Mommy,â Nina reminded.
Evan turned to look at Nina. âYour mommyâs accident has nothing to do with Maya. Donât pressure her from now on.â His tone was firm and strict.
Nina, the proud girl she was, could not withstand his reprimanding.
Daddyâs embarrassing me.
I didnât even say anything. I just rolled my eyes at her.
Moreover, itâs true that Mommy went to buy snacks with Maya, and thatâs why a car crashed into her.
Daddy is defending Maya while scolding me. Heâs biased!
With those thoughts in her mind, tears started brimming in her eyes. She put down the milk in her hand and walked toward Nicole before she sobbed.
âMommy. Mommyâ¦â Daddyâs being mean to me!
Wake up quickly!
Both Juan and Kyle were speechless at the scene.
She had just said that Maya was too noisy for Nicole, but she was now wailing beside her. Isnât she too noisy for Mommy too?
Both sighed. Itâs difficult to understand what girls think.
Their mother had yet to wake, but their father had made both Maya and Nina cry. He sucks at consoling girls!
I donât know how Daddy won Mommy over.
âStop crying. If you disturb your Mommy, Iâll throw all of you out!â
Evanâs unexpected loud voice surprised the children and John.
It looks like Daddy still loves Mommy the most.
The gears were turning in Johnâs head, he quickly brought Nina out to console her. Meanwhile, Mayaâs eyes were as wide as saucers as she abruptly stopped crying.
âGo and have your dinner.â
Evan placed her on the floor, and she ran toward Kyle.
