Meet My Brothers
With that. Timothy promptly ended the call, leaving Caleb with no chance to inquire further.
Setting his phone down, Timothy turned to Ginger, unable to resist lightly poking her round face.
âWhatâs your mommyâs name?â
âMister, my mom says I canât just tell anyone her name or her phone number.â
Timothy raised an eyebrow. âAnd whyâs that?â
âBecause she has too many admirers: Mommy doesnât want to be disturbed.â
Upon hearing this, Timothyâs impression of Gingerâs mother shifted negatively. She seemed to be a
woman who enjoyed dating around.
He cleared his throat and asked, âAnd whatâs your name?â
âIâm Ginger, four years old, and Iâm a Taurus. My favorite foods include ice cream, fruit candies.
marshmallows, fudge, chocolate, and tiramisu!â Ginger replied, barely pausing for breath.
Timothy arched an eyebrow. âShouldnât you keep that to yourself?â
âBut Mister, youâre a nice person.â
Timothy couldnât shake the suspicion that Ginger was deliberately bringing up her love for sweets.

Her Taurus nature explained why she had handed him a hundred dollars for the ride earlier.
As Timothy looked down at the affectionate Ginger beside him, he couldnât help but notice her chubby
face with dimples reminiscent of Miaâs.
He pursed his lips and asked, âDo you look like your mommy?â
Ginger shook her head. âI take after my daddy.â
Timothy couldnât resist pinching her cheek. âWho taught you to talk so much nonsense?â

Moreover, there were cases where individuals shared the same name.
Ginger couldnât help but roll her eyes. âMy mommy says itâs not safe to be too honest outside, or bad
people might snatch you!â
âYour mommy taught you that?â
âNot exactly. My mommy always taught me to tell the truth. I just sort of figured this out on my own.
When I talk silly, it confuses the bad guys, like on TV.â
Timothy couldnât suppress a chuckle: Ginger seemed quite intriguing.
He glanced at Heath. âCould you arrange for the hotel to send some food up? Oh, and some extra
snacks
too.â
Gingerâs eyes brightened, and she spoke in a sweet tone. âThank you, kind mister, my tummy happens
to
be hungry.â
Before long, a hotel staff member rolled a small cart over, filled with snacks that children enjoyed.
Ginger sat up eagerly, her gaze fixed on the treats, even licking her lips in anticipation.
Timothy grinned. âFeel free to dig in.â

Ginger reached for a pastry but hesitated briefly. âKind mister, Iâll just have one, okay?â
âHelp yourself to as many as youâd like.â
Ginger couldnât resist approaching and taking a slice of cake, holding it delicately as she nibbled
obediently, reminiscent of a small squirrel.
Timothy sat back on the sofa with Ginger beside him, holding onto the cake box. Her neatly braided
pigtails were slightly undone, with wisps of hair framing her small ears.
Timothy observed silently as she indulged in the cake, frosting quickly adorning her nose and cheeks,

He casually passed her a wet wipe. âHere, clean up a bic
