Chapter 715

Mia retrieved some clean utensils from a nearby shelf and handed them to Luna. “Why don’t you start

by feeding Asher,” she suggested.

“Ms. Monalize, just so you know, Asher can feed himself; he’s just a little shy,” Luna retorted.

Taking the utensils, she placed them in Asher’s hand and whispered, “If you don’t do as I say, there will

be consequences when we get home!”

As a child, Asher instinctively felt scared and obediently took the utensils. However, his movements

were somewhat shaky.

He struggled to hold the utensils steadily, let alone pick up the food.

Sitting opposite them, Ginger skillfully used her cutlery to eat her

vegetables and meat. Despite her small hands, she was undoubtedly more adept than Asher.

The contrast between them was stark, highlighting Asher’s disadvantage.

Just then, Ginger picked up a piece of meat with her fork and placed it on Mia’s plate. “Mommy, have

some.”

Mia smiled warmly and replied, “Thank you, sweetie.”

Without hesitation, Ginger then picked up another piece and placed it on Timothy’s plate. “Tim, here

you go,” she offered.

As Timothy looked at the meat Ginger had given him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Observing the situation, Luna quickly interjected, “Mr. Barrett is a bit of a germaphobe. He typically

doesn’t share his food with others, especially if it has been touched by someone else.”

Standing up, Luna continued, “Tim, I’ll help you get a fresh plate and a new

set of cutlery.”

Ginger appeared flustered, her gaze shifting toward Timothy. The smile that had lit up her face

moments ago now faded slightly.

However, Timothy gazed at the meat on his plate and proceeded to eat it without a trace of hesitation.

Ginger beamed with a bright smile. “Is it tasty?” she asked eagerly.

Timothy’s lips curled slightly as he replied, “Yes, it’s good. Just focus on your meal and don’t worry

about the adults, okay?”

Everyone at the table was taken aback

Mia’s eyes betrayed a hint of surprise. She hadn’t expected Timothy to eat the food Ginger had cut for

him.

After all, individuals with germaphobia typically disliked others handling

their food.

Luna was equally shocked by the scene. The fact that Timothy had eaten the food Ginger had offered

was simply unbelievable.

After all, everyone in the Barrett family knew about Timothy’s

germaphobia, and no one would dare to touch upon that sensitive issue.

While Ginger was picking out Timothy’s food earlier, Luna initially thought her moment had come.

Much to her surprise, Timothy went ahead and ate the food Ginger had

offered him.

With a firm grip, Luna held onto the plate and cutlery. Stepping forward, she offered, “Tim, I’ll fetch you

another set of utensils.”

Holding his plate, Timothy frowned as he glanced at Luna. “Instead of focusing on others, why don’t

you spend more time helping Asher?

“He can’t even pick up his cutlery to eat on his own. He’s so big and still

needs to be fed! What kind of teaching methods are you using?”

Luna’s dignity crumbled under Timothy’s stern reprimand.

Watching the unfolding scene, Mia intervened, saying, “Mr. Barrett, let’s not be too harsh. It’s natural for

mothers to spoil their children. As a single mom, Ms. Maynard is bound to indulge Asher a bit.”

Timothy couldn’t help but let out a disdainful snort. Nonetheless, he decided not to say anything more

in front of the children.

Flushed with embarrassment, Luna returned to her seat, shooting Asher a glare and feeling utterly

humiliated.

At that moment, Ginger placed her utensils on the table. “I’m full, Mommy. Can I go play with my toys?”

“Of course,” Mia replied.

Turning to Asher, Luna remarked, “Asher, it seems like you’re not interested in eating either. Why don’t

you join her and play with the toys?

Luna was determined to prevent Asher from misbehaving further and leaving a negative impression on

Timothy.
