Chapter 3 In the Future, I Will Protect You
Mary busied herself in the kitchen for twenty minutes. She made a Japanese rice omelet and some potato and cheese pancakes. Together, they were served at the dining table. âLittle Steve, come and eat!â Steve glanced at the time. There were still fifteen minutes before eight. He jumped down from the sofa and gracefully walked over. He sat down at the dining table.
Upstairs, little James wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and snorted. âAlthough it smells good, it probably wonât taste good.â âDelicious.â
Steve said as he took a bite of the food as if he had heard the voice of his brother upstairs. âIf it tastes good, I will continue to cook for you in the future.â Mary smiled. âOh right, youâre here so late at night.
Whereâs your family?â she asked. âYouâre the child of Mr. Notmanâs friend?â she asked. She had never heard of Mr. Notman having a child before. The little fellow frowned and nodded. âYes,â she said. âSure enough.â âI didnât expect that although this Mr. Notman is a little ugly, his heart is very kind.â Mary nodded lightly. At the very least, his friendâs child was at ease here like he was in his own home. This proved that Mr. Notman was not as ruthless as the rumors said. âHe is not ugly.â Steve took a bite of the rice as he said in a low voice. Upstairs, a man glanced at the little guy who was drooling beside him. His eyes seemed to say, âLook at your brother, then look at you.â One tried his best to protect his noble appearance, and the other wanted everyone to know that he was a monster. âI just donât want a stranger to be my mommy.â James pouted and said. William frowned slightly and turned to leave Downstairs, it was already 8:10 when Little Steve finished eating. He ate very slowly and carefully. Finally, he packed the remaining two pancakes on a small plate and turned to go upstairs. âYou should sleep early.â
Chapter 3 in the future, ! W. Protect You When he reached the last step, he turned his head and glanced at Mary, who was still standing in the same place, and said coolly, âDonât worry.â âIn the future, I will protect you.â Although he was young, it was difficult to hide his noble and proud temperament. When he looked back and spoke like this, his eyes were overbearing and he did not look like a five-year-old child.
Mary was stunned for a moment.
She looked at his little back and did not know whether to laugh or cry. Even if she found it difficult to adapt to this environment, she didnât need a child to protect her, right? Turning around, Mary began to clean up the kitchen and dining room. When everything was cleaned up, she did not dare to go back to the terrifying bedroom from before.
In the end, the woman sighed and lay down on the sofa, covering herself with a coat. In the childrenâs room upstairs. Steve placed the fragrant cheese and potato pancakes on Jamesâ bedside. The little fellow faced the wall and turned his back on Steve. âI wonât eat it.â
âOh.â
Steve placed the plate of potato pancakes on his bed again.
ââ¦â James.
He pursed his lips and began to mutter, âDidnât you say that we should work together and not let a stranger be our mommy?â âYou betrayed us so quickly, traitor!â Steve sat back on his small bed and glanced at his brotherâs back. âShe cooks delicious food.â âEven if she cooks delicious food, she is not our mommy!â âI want my own, my real mommy!â James scratched the wallpaper on the wall with his little finger. On the opposite bed, Steve sighed. He looked at the ceiling and said quietly, âBut our biological mother is dead.â He was more mature than his younger brother, so he knew very well that his biological mother would not be able to come back. Daddy should not be single for the rest of his life. The woman downstairs was not bad. âShe is not dead.â
Chapter 3 In the Future, I WA Protect You âMommy is definitely still alive, and waiting for us to find her!â
James clenched his fists.
Steve closed his eyes and ignored him. The childrenâs room suddenly became quiet, and the fragrance of cheese floated in the air.
In the end, the little bun got up from the bed, stood on his tiptoes, carefully moved to his brotherâs bedside, picked up a piece of potato pancake and ate it. The moment it entered his mouth, the little fellowâs bright eyes instantly lit up. This was too delicious! It was ten thousand times better than the food cooked by the servants at home!
âTake the plate down when youâre finished.â
When James ate the second one, the tender voice of the little dumpling lying on the bed sounded, âAlso, donât scare her in the future.â âSheâs under my protection.â James, ââ¦â âBrother, you are being very abnormal.â He pursed his lips. In the past, Steve was indifferent to his pranks. Why did he start defending that woman today? Was it because the food she made was delicious?
With this in mind, he took a bite of the potato pancake. It was indeed delicious. After eating the potato pancakes, James went downstairs to return the dish. Coming down from upstairs, he saw the woman sleeping on the sofa at a glance. She was curled up and shivering. He walked over and looked at her clean, pure, pale face. She was quite good-looking, and her cooking was delicious. If only she were his biological mother⦠In her sleep, Mary felt a gaze staring at her. She suddenly woke up and saw the little fellow from before. At this moment, he was holding a plate and staring at her. She rubbed her sleepy eyes. âYou⦠havenât eaten enough?â Why was he looking at her with a plate?
James pursed

nodded.
He was indeed not full,
Looking at the little fellowâs handsome and cute little face, Maryâs heart almost melted, She raised her hand and pinched his face. âThen Auntie will cook for you again.â
After that, she walked into the kitchen while silently cursing. Didnât he say that he wouldnât eat past eight? Moreover⦠she had also cooked quite a lot before⦠Mary simply cooked some light food for him that was suitable for children to eat.
The little fellow ate it all.
Mary was stunned.
This childâs appetite⦠wasnât it a little too big?
Especially when the little fellow in front of her handed her the bowl and asked her to add more rice.
When he finished eating, Mary finally couldnât help but ask, âLittle Steve, donât you think⦠your appetite is a little big?â James was startled, and then he smiled slyly, âYes, I can eat a lot.â
âMake me something delicious in the future. I want two servings!â he said as he stretched out two tender fingers.
After saying that, he thought for a moment, afraid that his brother would leave him something he didnât like, so he emphasized, âMake two identical servings!â Mary was a little shocked, but she still nodded and smiled as she put away the tableware. âI understand. A child of your age is still growing.â She handed the gift she had prepared for Mr. Notman, a box of biscuits that she had personally made, to James. âThis is for you,â she said. With that, she smiled and raised her hand to rub the little fellowâs head.
James blushed and quickly went upstairs with the biscuits.
Only then did Mary take a deep breath, return to the sofa and continue to sleep.
Upstairs.
The luxurious and expensive phone vibrated twice on the table. The man picked up the phone with his slender fingers and opened it. (Baby Steve: She passes.) It was a voice message. The little guy was eating the biscuits while saying, âShe passes for now. I actually donât like her.â
Chapter 3 in the Future, I Will Protect You
âBut her cooking is too delicious. For my stomach, I plan to compromise.â The man put down the phone and raised his hand to point at the desk. âArrange it. We will register our marriage tomorrow.â
