chapter 1504
Maurice could not help smiling with his eyes as he kindly said, "You're just overthinking things, kid."
Not believing him, Chris growled, "If you're a real man, just be honest about your intention. Don’t do it behind my back!"
He wanted to see what Maurice was up to. He could not let him win!
Maurice ruffled his head. "I said no means no. I treat your Mommy as a sibling, a sister. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Chris flinched from his touch and scoffed, "Lies!"
That did not faze Maurice as he changed the topic and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Chris pulled a face and ignored him.
He realized that this man seemed quite kind on the surface. He was nice even when Charmine was not around. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
So, he did not want to entertain him anymore.
He did not want to fall for him!
The two of them did not talk until Charmine's session finished.
She did not notice anything different in Chris as she asked, "Are you hungry, dear? Mommy will take you out to eat." "Okay."
Chris withstood the pain as he got off of the chair and took Charmine's hand.
Charmine looked at Maurice and said, "Come with us, Mo." O "Okay."
Although he did not want to eat, he was worried about Chris’ wound, so he followed.
Chris instantly glared at him with full alert.
He said he had no intentions, yet there he was: agreeing to come along!
Chris was unhappy, but he said nothing in front of Charmine, choosing to bite back on his anger.
As long as he was around, this old man would not be able to do anything to his Mommy!
The three of them went to a quite famous cafe.
Maurice did not eat much during the meal. He took care of Charmine and Chris, serving them food and peeling the prawns for them.
Chris secretly removed the food that Maurice took for him. He did not want to eat those.
Maurice peeled the lobsters forthem and placed the fresh meat on their plates.
Charmine looked at him suspiciously. "Mo, why do you eat so little all the time? Do you not like them?" "No," Maurice said gently, "I’m not hungry."
Charmine was speechless. Did he not have to eat?
She had spent quite a few days with him, and she had not seen him eating that much.
Did all celebrities behave this way?
Charmine looked at him curiously.
Maurice did not explain. He continued to peel the prawns forthem, one at a time, cautiously.
Chris looked down on him.
This old man would give up eating to gain Charmine's attention. How intentional!
The waiting staff saw this loving sight and started talking among themselves.
"This boy is so adorable. He's got big eyes and a cool personality. How adorable!" "How can I have an adorable child like this?" "The woman is beautiful, the man is handsome, and this kid is so adorable!
What a lovely family."
Chris harrumphed at their comments, but that last sentence made his expression fall. He turned to say to them, "We're not a family. He's my grandpa." "He's your grandpa?" The two waiting staff felt awkward as they apologized, "We're sorry."
Still, they looked at Maurice in shock.
How could there be such a handsome and young grandfather in the world!? Charmine was speechless.
