Evan’s heart melted due to his adorable daughter’s hilarious response.
He leaned over and cradled her in his arms. “Maya, feel free to come to me whenever you want something. I’ll get you everything that you desire and I’ll make you the happiest little girl on Earth.”
“Daddy! I don’t want anything else as long as you’re by my side! I’ll always be your favorite girl!” Maya giggled in return.
Evan felt bad all of a sudden because he had failed to carry out his duty as the children’s father, back in the day.
With that being said, Nicole had done a great job of raising the three of them all by herself. Thus, he was determined to compensate them for their loss due to his negligence.
“Maya, you will always be my favorite little girl.”
Evan held Maya firmly in his arms as though he was whispering in her ears. Grinning, she caressed her father’s gorgeous-looking face with her chubby pair of hands in return. It was a heartwarming interaction between the father and daughter duo.
Her siblings began to feel jealous. Juan made a sarcastic remark, ridiculing both himself and his brother, “Even though we’re living in a matriarch’s household, I’m pretty sure that Maya will be Daddy’s favorite child instead of Nina!”
Nina, who had gotten jealous of her sister, couldn’t suppress her emotions anymore.
Glaring at Juan, she snorted and made up her mind; since her beloved sister was their father’s favorite child, she wanted to be their mother’s favorite child, too.
Kyle knew that Nina was about to throw a tantrum. In order to calm her down, he uttered, “I think that Daddy loves Nina in a different manner because Nina is an independent girl. She doesn’t require much attention from others. Frankly, she’s fine on her own.”
Juan pouted his lips because he didn’t expect Kyle, who had always been a boy of few words, to turn the tables. Putting aside the rationale behind his words, he had already pleased Nina with his flattering compliment.
The stern look that she initially had on her face was nowhere to be seen.
Finally, they made their way to the gourmet specialist’s house. As soon as they reached, Evan rang the doorbell.
Nina wondered, “Is this the place that the gourmet specialist has rented? It’s such a beautiful place!”
“Nope. The gourmet specialist used to be a resident of the city. Therefore, this is her personal property,” Evan explained.
Juan exclaimed, “Wow! This is such an awesome place! Look at its overall design! The gourmet specialist is quite the wealthy person!”
He continued asking, “Is she a fat woman? Since she’s in the food and beverage industry, spending most of her time cooking and eating, she must be a chubby woman like Maya, right?”
Before Evan could answer his son’s query, someone opened the door of the villa from within.
“Please, come on in.”
“Thanks.”
The family of six followed the maid and walked over to the living room of the villa.
The moment they entered the living room, they saw all sorts of furniture that had the appearance of food, including a toast-like couch, a scrambled egg-like mat, and a carrot-shaped cup. The odd-looking furniture managed to attract the children’s attention.
“Wow! These are so cute!”
“It has never crossed my mind that furniture can be shaped into such odd appearances!”
Gawking at the odd-looking furniture, the chubby little girl behaved as though she wasn’t aware of her siblings’ conversations.
“Daddy, can you get me a bedroom of a similar design? I want a drumstick-looking bed! As soon as I’m hungry, I’ll take a bite out of it and satisfy my cravings!” Maya had requested it since she had grown fond of the living room’s design.
“Mr. Seet, Mrs. Seet, welcome!”
Nicole turned around the moment she heard a woman’s voice.
Flabbergasted by the presence of the woman in front of her, Nicole had her doubts because she was a skinny woman, much skinnier than herself.
“Maya, this is your mentor. She’s a top-notch gourmet specialist. Her name is Molly, Molly Blackwood.”
Maya took a quick peek at Molly timidly. Initially, she had thought that her mentor would be a chubby lady, with a build that was similar to hers.
However, her mentor had turned out to be a gorgeous and skinny woman. Gourmet specialists are supposed to have a buff build, right? Why is she so skinny?
“Molly, why are you so skinny? Aren’t you supposed to savor delicacies every day?”
Gazing at the chubby little girl’s glistening pair of eyes, Molly seemed to have grown fond of Maya. She leaned over and pinched Maya’s chubby cheeks. “If you’re consuming your food correctly and scientifically, you’re not going to get fat easily. You’re such a chubby little girl. I’m pretty sure that you’re a huge fan of sweets. Am I right?”
Maya’s jaw dropped open, as she exclaimed in return, “Molly, you’re awesome!”
“You should address me as Ms. Blackwood because I’m around your mother’s age. I can’t get used to it if you’re addressing me in such a manner.”
