Chapter 715
Meet My Brothers
Mia retrieved some clean utensils from a nearby shelf and handed them to Luna. âWhy donât you start
by feeding Asher,â she suggested.
âMs. Monalize, just so you know, Asher can feed himself; heâs just a little shy,â Luna retorted.
Taking the utensils, she placed them in Asherâs hand and whispered, âIf you donât do as I say, there will
be consequences when we get home!â
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 Asherâs disadvantage.
Just then, Ginger picked up a piece of meat with her fork and placed it on Miaâs plate. âMommy, have
some.â
Mia smiled warmly and replied, âThank you, sweetie.â
Without hesitation, Ginger then picked up another piece and placed it on Timothyâs plate. âTim, here
you go,â 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, âMr. Barrett is a bit of a germaphobe. He typically
doesnât share his food with others, especially if it has been touched by someone else.â
Standing up, Luna continued, âTim, Iâll help you get a fresh plate and a new
set of cutlery.â
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. âIs it tasty?â she asked eagerly.
Timothyâs lips curled slightly as he replied, âYes, itâs good. Just focus on your meal and donât worry
about the adults, okay?â
Everyone at the table was taken aback
Miaâs eyes betrayed a hint of surprise. She hadnât 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 Timothyâs
germaphobia, and no one would dare to touch upon that sensitive issue.
While Ginger was picking out Timothyâs 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, âTim, Iâll fetch you
another set of utensils.â
Holding his plate, Timothy frowned as he glanced at Luna. âInstead of focusing on others, why donât
you spend more time helping Asher?
âHe canât even pick up his cutlery to eat on his own. Heâs so big and still
needs to be fed! What kind of teaching methods are you using?â
Lunaâs dignity crumbled under Timothyâs stern reprimand.
Watching the unfolding scene, Mia intervened, saying, âMr. Barrett, letâs not be too harsh. Itâs natural for
mothers to spoil their children. As a single mom, Ms. Maynard is bound to indulge Asher a bit.â
Timothy couldnât 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. âIâm full, Mommy. Can I go play with my toys?â
âOf course,â Mia replied.
Turning to Asher, Luna remarked, âAsher, it seems like youâre not interested in eating either. Why donât
you join her and play with the toys?
Luna was determined to prevent Asher from misbehaving further and leaving a negative impression on
Timothy.
