Chapter 371:
Could it be a new recipe Bryan was trying out?
Eileen changed her shoes, took Gabriela from Milfordâs embrace, kissed the little oneâs chubby hands, and made her way to the kitchen.
âWow,â she said, seeing the array of dishes spread across the table. Milfordâs mouth hung open in astonishment. âEileen, weâre in for a real feast tonight!â
âIâm quite hungry myself,â Eileen confessed, a smile spreading across her face as she and Milford neared the dining table and paused to admire the dishes.
Bryan came over with another small plate. âYouâre back?
Go wash your hands, and hand me Gabriela.â
He adjusted the table settings, placed the small plate down, and then scooped up Gabriela.
Puzzled, Eileen washed her hands in the kitchen, returned, and sat next to Bryan, with Milford on the other side.
âWhatâs this?â Milford pointed to the dish closest to him.
âTheyâre teething biscuits.â
âAnd this one here?â
âThatâs baby cereal.â
LаtÑst chαptÑrs in gð®lð»ovð²ls.ï½Î¿m A flicker of amusement crossed Eileenâs face. So, was the entire dinner spread actually baby food?
âI did a lot of research online today and found that babies who are only fed formula, like Gabriela, can start solids a bit earlier. The baby cereal I made is easy to digest, so sheâll be able to eat it soon. Gabriela is reaching the teething stageâIâve noticed she likes to put anything she can grab into her mouth, which could be a sign sheâs starting to teeth.
âI spent hours making these teething biscuits, trying out different flavors⦠And hereâs some fruit puree, which I steamed before pureeing.â
Eileen looked at where he was pointing and realized that the entire table was filled with food for Gabriela.
There was no dinner for her.
âBryan, what about us?â Milford finally broke in. âWhat are we supposed to eat?â
âGabriela will just taste a little of each. Some she might not even be able to eat yet. I made enough to test the flavors and see what needs improving. Except for the teething biscuits, thereâs enough here to feed the three of us,â Bryanâs expression was serious, signaling he wasnât joking.
It seemed they were going to be taste testers for the barely four-month-old baby in the days to come.
Then Bryan grinned at Eileen. âOf course, if you want a teething biscuit, I can give you one. As for Milford? Impossible.â
Milford leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh.
