“Mommy, we want Yoda to eat together with us.”
“…”
Hrmph, these rascals are indeed cashing in on the opportunity and pushing the limits.
If I don’t agree to it…
Training her eyes on all of them, Nicole felt that if she did not agree to their request, someone would be
throwing another tantrum on the floor again.
Forget it. No matter which one, all of them were her flesh and blood after all.
Since they were all children, she would settle the scores with Yoda.
I’ll wait for him to run away with his tail tucked between his legs before I properly teach these brats a
lesson.
“Sure, Mommy agrees.”
“That’s great! Mommy is the best!”
“Yoda, we can have a meal together once again.”
Maya grinned. After all, Yoda would put food on her plate and even feed her his own portion of shrimps,
just like Daddy.
During the dinner, Yoda was taking care of the children as he was eating. While eating, Nicole was
contemplating on how to get rid of this shameless and scheming man with unpredictable
motives. Perhaps the best way was to make him leave on his own volition?
To nip the problem in its bud, I’ll have to find Yoda’s weakness first before I make my move.
Meanwhile, Yoda was peering at her warily from time to time. From her thoughtful look coupled with her
occasional glances in his direction, he was sure he smelled danger.
Why was she so adamant about him staying?
After dinner, Yoda took Maya out for a walk. The other three lined up to follow as well.
Nicole took the opportunity to secretly inspect the place where Yoda lived.
Unexpectedly, he was quite a hygienic and tidy person. The small room was spotless.
After inspecting his room, she explored around and began to rummage through Yoda’s personal
belongings.
His belongings were no different from those owned by other servants.
Spotting a drawer, she opened it quietly. Looking through the content carefully, she found that only daily
necessities were contained therein.
Just as she was about to close the drawer, suddenly a box caught her attention.
“What is this?”
The squarish box which was about the size of her palm looked exquisite.
Nicole held it in her hand and shook it gently a few times, but she could not hear anything inside.
Since the box had been secured with a hidden lock, it would definitely require a passcode to open.
Surely it would not contain intelligence of some sort?
With her mounting curiosity, she tried a few random possible passcodes that she could come up with.
Failing each time, she conceded that she would not be able to open the box for quite a while.
Looking out and around, she was fearful of being spotted. Seeing no one around, she took advantage
of the situation and snatched the box.
Better to sneak it back so she could study it slowly.
On her way back to her room, she was looking around anxiously.
Grasping her stolen loot tightly in her arms like a mouse, she hoped fervently that no one would notice
her nor greet her.
Finally, full of jitters, she arrived at her bedroom. Just as she stored the stolen box in her closet, she
heard Yoda bringing her four little ones back from their walk.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“Mommy, I want to sleep.”
“…”
Nicole swiftly rushed out of her bedroom, just in time for Maya to pounce and hug her leg, asking her
for a bath.
Recovering her composure, Nicole readily agreed. “Okay, Mommy will take you all for a bath.”
Having said that, she took Maya and Nina’s cute, chubby hands in hers and headed to their bedroom,
ignoring Yoda completely.
Yoda frowned at her brusque attitude. Is she ignoring him?
As he looked on at her back, frowning and deep in thought, he noticed Nicole, who had walked a few
meters away, suddenly looked back before quickly turning her head away once more.
Yoda felt puzzled. The look in her eyes as well as her reactions were odd.
As Nicole was giving Nina and Maya their bath, she noticed the latter’s round, plump belly. She felt a
sudden dilemma.
As much as she wanted Maya to be happy, Nicole was also worried that letting Maya eat whatever she
wanted would affect her child’s health.
Fortunately, Maya was no longer a glutton, for she had learned to exercise some self-restraint.
“Mommy, in a few more months, I’ll be losing some weight,” said Maya, breaking Nicole’s
contemplation, as if she was reading her mind.
Maya’s little pudgy hand gently patted her chubby belly as she flashed her adorable and cute smile at
her mother.
