Chapter 505 Tim Burns His Lips âAround midnight. I slept right after supper,â Arissa answered as her gaze remained fixed on her son.
Benjamin frowned at her. âSince you woke up at four, how is that enough sleep?â
Arissa gave Benjamin the side-eye and didnât comment. Once she was done feeding him oatmeal porridge, she showed him the other items from breakfast.
âSweetheart, look at all this food. Go on and eat whatever you fancy! These are for you and Daddy, for I have kept a separate portion warm for Mdm.
Mary,â Arissa explained in a gentle tone.
Greeted by the scrumptious spread on the table, Tim gulped as he was spoilt for choice.
Sensing his shyness, Arissa handed him a bun with a smile.
âHere, try this bun first.â
âTim, Mommy made the buns herself. Theyâre very yummy!â
Jesse came over and leaned herself against the back of his chair. Beaming at Tim, she looked extremely adorable with the gap between her teeth.
With a twitch of his lips, Tim handed one to Jesse. âYou can have it.â
Jesse shook her head in delight. âWe had breakfast before we came. You should quickly dig in, itâs really good.â
Jesseâs cutesy voice sounded especially mellifluous.
After giving her a look and shifting his gaze toward Arissa, Tim lowered his head and took a bite.
âCareful, itâs hot!â
Before Arissa could finish, Tim stuck out his tongue after scalding himself.
âLet me see!â Arissaâs heart ached.
Knitting her brows, she gestured for Tim to show her his tongue.
However, he covered his mouth and blushed.
âItâs nothing.â
Detecting his embarrassment, she tousled his hair.
âSweetheart, open up so that I can see if itâs serious. Aaahhh...â she urged.
Meanwhile, Benjamin poured a glass of ice water and handed it over. âGet him to hold it in his mouth.â
After receiving it, she gave Tim a drink. âDonât swallow, just hold it.â
Tim lowered his head and complied.
At the same time, Jesse frowned at what happened. âTimâs mouth must be hurting, as the bun was still steaming.â
Given its piping hot contents, it was easy for one to be scalded.
âI should have warned you about it,â Arissa remarked remorsefully.
Tim gave her a look but didnât blame her.
âSweetheart, spit out the water and hold another mouthful.â
Arissa brought the trash bin over for Tim. Once he released the water in his mouth, she fed him another round.
Tim finally felt a lot better after repeating the process a few times.
âHow is it?â
Arissa had no choice but to ask as she couldnât see his tongue.
âIt doesnât hurt anymore.â
Just when Tim was going to continue eating his bun, Arissa stopped him. âLet me blow it for you. As long as your mouth still hurts, you should have something else first. You can leave the bun for later.â
Arissa looked carefully at her son, worried that he would burn himself again.
âIâll have the bun still!â
Lowering his head, he blew on the bun to cool it further before digging in.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 504 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You Watching her son eating quietly, a blissful expression descended upon Arissaâs face.
Once he was done with the bun, she served him something else.
âSweetheart, this croissant from the hotel is exceptionally tasty. Try it!â
âMmm-hmm, Tim, theyâre really good. I had two of them in the morning.â
Jesse flashed two fingers in a cutesy manner.
Glancing in her direction, Tim asked softly, âDo you want more?â
Despite shaking her head, she couldnât stop herself from salivating.
Arissa was amused by their exchange. Her heart was warmed further when she saw Tim stuffing one at Jesse still.
When Benjamin noticed that Arissaâs attention was solely focused on the kids, he furrowed his brows. âLet him eat himself.â
Arissa quickly realized he was upset when she saw the look on his face.
âWhy?â
Benjamin swept his gaze in her direction and reminded her, âYouâre just making him too shy to eat.â
When Arissa returned her attention to Tim, she saw him glance at them before going back to his food.
As a result, she stroked his hair affectionately. âSweetheart, take your time. Iâll be going back to the other room to chat with Mdm. Mary.â
