Cindy Clarke took the tissue and hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes: āI didnātā¦ it wasnāt on purpose.ā
āI know.ā Aunt Evans sighed, looking at Cindy with sympathy.
āAunt Evans, let me sit here for a bit,ā Cindy said. āOtherwise, itād be embarrassing to go out and explain.ā
āAlright.ā Aunt Evans nodded.
Cindy sat there and continued to make dumplings with Aunt Evans.
The small dumplings were just the right size for one bite.
Aunt Evans commented, āAh, the ones we made are different. Yours are much prettier than mine.ā
āI make them often, so Iāve become skilled,ā Cindy replied with a smile.
They put the dumplings in a steamer basket to be cooked later that night.
āAlright, Iām here. You should go out now,ā Aunt Evans urged again.
By now, the redness around Cindyās eyes had faded.
With Aunt Evansās urging, she returned to the Main Hall.
To her surprise, she found that little Morgan Zhekova had somehow rolled into Old Masterās arms.
Fortunately, Old Master was still very robust. He could carry little Morgan even when he squirmed around.
Although Old Master kept a straight face, his bright eyes and the faint red on his cheeks betrayed him.
He looked at little Morgan with disdain while holding him with both hands, preventing him from rolling off his lap.
āGreat Grandfather.ā Little Morgan poked his head out from Old Masterās arms, imitated a scene from TV, and sent the old man a Wink.
Old Master: āā¦ā
āBe good and talk properly!ā Old Master said with a stern face.
Little Morgan didnāt take Old Masterās paper tiger act seriously and cupped his adorable face with both hands.
His long eyelashes were almost as wide as his eyes. As he blinked, they fluttered like little wings.
āGreat Grandfather, am I your little cutie?ā Little Morgan asked sweetly.
Old Master was truly torn.
To say no would be impossible.
Of course, Little Morgan was his little cutie!
If he said no, the little one would surely no longer play with him or be affectionate towards him.
But if he said yes, in front of so many people, how embarrassing!
As Little Morgan gazed at him expectantly, Old Master couldnāt bring himself to lie to save face and make him sad.
Old Masterās eyes darted around, and his soft, muffled voice came out from his throat: āMm.ā
āGreat Grandfather, what did you say?ā Little Morgan tilted his head and moved his left ear closer to Old Master. āI didnāt catch that.ā
Old Master was truly in a difficult spot, experiencing embarrassment as never before in his life.
His previously faintly reddening face was now conspicuously flushed.
Cindy returned to Adrian Zhekovaās side, laughing as she watched the little one teasing Old Master.
Adrian whispered to Cindy, āOld Master has finally met his match.ā
Finally, it was someone other than him who was being suffocated by little Morgan.
Now it was Old Masterās turn to be tormented by the child.
As long as this misery didnāt befall him, Adrian was more than happy to stand by and watch, even taking pleasure in Old Masterās discomfort when pressed by little Morganās questions.
Old Master coughed and figured he might as well say it again: āYes.ā
āYes to what?ā Little Morgan blinked his eyes, showing no intention of letting Old Master off the hook.
Little Morgan thought that Old Master certainly needed more soul-stirring questions!
