“I’ll go and open the door.“ The frowning Neil put down his fork and spoon, his small body jumping down
from his chair and strode to the door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, “ came a little girl’s child—like voice outside the door. “Neil, it’s me, Nellie! I went to Godmother’s
house, and she said the two of you didn’t go back last night, so I came here. I didn’t expect to find you
and Mommy here! Quick, open the door! “
Hearing his sister’s voice, Neil grew excited. He immediately opened the door and spread his arms open.
“Nellie! “
Outside the door stood Nellie, dressed in her usual princess-style dress, and Lily.
She saw her brother spreading his arms open in her direction, but she did not hug him.
She sniffed. “Something smells so good! “
The little girl walked past Neil and strode into the apartment. “Are you guys eating breakfast? Did you
prepare some for me?“
“No.“ Neil returned to the dining table as he sulked and sat down to resume his breakfast.
The little girl sat pitifully at the other end of the dining table, resting her face in her hands. A pair of big,
clear eyes stared at Neil’s breakfast unblinkingly. “It must be delicious, right?“
Neil and Luna exchanged helpless glances.
A moment later, the little guy went to the kitchen and fetched a plate to divide a portion of his food and
placed it in front of his sister. “Go on. Don’t say I tortured you.“
“Haha! “ Nellie lifted her fork and spoon excitedly, “ Neil, you’re the best! “
With that, she lifted her plate and started digging in.
Seeing her scarf down her food, Neil frowned. “That idiot Ly… That man didn’t prepare breakfast for
you?“
“He did,“ Nellie pouted. “but I don’t like it. Mommy’s not there, so I wanted Lily to prepare breakfast for
me, but the servants said Lily isn’t familiar with the kitchen, so they refused to let her enter the kitchen.
“They said the breakfast they made was delicious and wanted me to take a bite.
I tried some, found it terrible, and didn’t continue eating. Granddad asked Lily to take me outside to eat
something I loved.
“I considered it for a long while, but I couldn’t think of anything that I particularly liked.“
The little girl shoved a spoonful of eggs into her mouth. “So I thought I won’t eat but instead use this
chance to come and visit the two of you.“
With that, the little girl pursed her lips and scoffed, “ But I didn’t expect to catch the two of you eating
some delicious food without me! “
Neil laughed helplessly. “All we have are some simple ingredients. They’re nothing compared to the
ingredients you have at home.“
After all, the ingredients for their breakfast came from their rush through the mall last night.
Nellie shrugged, “That’s true, but I still think your cooking is much better than theirs! “ She then carefully
studied Luna’s reaction. “And Mommy’s cooking is definitely much, much better than theirs! “
Luna smiled softly, not saying a single word.
Neil had prepared a huge breakfast for her. She looked at the plate before her daughter and shook her
head helplessly, using her spoon and distributing some to her children’s plates.
“Mommy, you’re the best! “ Nellie smiled at her mother politely. “You’re much better than Daddy! He not
only didn’t accompany me as I ate breakfast, but I can’t even find him! I asked the servants, but they all
said he hurt his stomach from drinking too much last night and accidentally knocked into his wound, so
he’s still at South City Hospital. I don’t know if it’s true or not.“
