Chapter 11
Anna swiftly dodged it and the glass smashed behind her.
She had never seen a kid as unruly as this one. Anna frowned angrily but then her anger dissipated when she saw the boy’s face.
The kid sat behind a wall made up of pillows and bedding. He looked adorable and clearly would grow up to be a very handsome man in the future.
However, at the moment, he looked very upset.
“What’s wrong, buddy?” Anna advanced a couple of steps and squatted down, “Did anyone bully you?”
Matthew looked at her and then pushed her hand away. Seeing that, Anna avoided touching him. She just sat quietly on the floor with him.
Soon, someone knocked on the door and said, “Ms. Gabriel, the pancakes and soup are ready. Do you need us to send them in?”
“No.” Anna said, “Leave them outside.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The fragrance of the pancakes drifted into the room. Matthew did not speak but occasionally looked at Anna. He also swallowed his saliva several times.
He must be hungry after throwing tantrums and trashing the room for quite a while. Anna waited for a while and then said, “I‘m hungry. Can I eat something here?” Matthew frowned and looked away.
Anna went out to take in the tray of pancakes and chicken soup. She started to pour the maple syrup onto the pancakes and exclaimed, “Wow! They smell so good!”
“Growl…” Matthew‘s stomach growled audibly.
Anna looked up and saw Matthew looking eagerly at her pancakes. She then asked,” You know, pancakes are my favorite food. Do you want a bite of it?”
Matthew hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. “Okay then,” Anna sat beside him and fed him a piece of pancake, “Does it taste good?” Matthew‘s eyes lit up and nodded. Anna continued to feed him. Matthew ate and looked carefully at Anna.
He thought to himself, You‘re so good to me! Unlike the people who fear me and hate me, you‘re very kind and gentle.
Soon, he finished the pancakes and started to drink the chicken soup.
Anna handed him a napkin and said, “Now that you‘re full, you‘ll have enough strength to throw a tantrum again, right?”
Feeling upset and embarrassed, Matthew looked away. It seemed that he did not like being lectured by anyone like that.
Anna chuckled and was about to take out the empty plates when she felt that someone
Chapter 11 She’s Very Gentle holding onto her. She looked down and found that it was Matthew. He looked rather sad and reluctant for her to leave.
Anna thought of Tammy when she looked into his eyes. She also had no time for Tammy when she was busy at work, which saddened her very much.
“I‘m not leaving. I‘m just taking out the dishes.” Anna assured him in a gentle voice. Matthew still did not release her.
