Wanting to be more responsible, Beryl sat down after preparing four bowls of soup. Then, she patiently waited for everyone to come to the dinner table. Meanwhile, Emily checked on Baron to see if he really wasn't hungry. When he said that he didn't have an appetite, she headed downstairs for dinner.
“Wow, it's mom's sweet and sour spareribs!“ Bowen gleefully exclaimed when he saw the food on the table. He was so excited to eat that his eyes lit up like fireworks and his mouth started watering.
Jacob almost had the exact same response as his son when he saw what was for dinner, since sweet and sour spareribs were the only food he ever craved for, day and night.
It was quite surprising for Emily to hear how much Bowen liked her spareribs. She couldn't help but think about it and ask herself, “When did this become his favorite?“
In a somewhat sarcastic tone, Beryl quickly reminder her. “Mom, don't you remember making it last month? Bowen ate so much that he couldn't move afterward because he said his stomach was too full.“
“Oh, yeah! I remember that now,“ Emily replied with a slightly embarrassed smile. She didn't want anyone to find out that the reason she hadn't noticed how much her son ate was because she couldn't stop looking at Jacob at that time.
She always loved seeing her husband eat his favorite dish that she worked so hard in the kitchen to make.
With a gloating smile, Jacob looked at Bowen and playfully said, “Don't get too excited now. Your mother made that specifically for me.“
But since Bowen was too excited to eat, he didn't pay attention to his father's boasting. After that, everyone sat down with smiles on their faces. But when Bowen saw Jacob and Emily starting to eat, he remembered the rule that the elders always ate first. Worrying that he would run out of food, Bowen angrily picked up a sparerib and frantically exclaimed. “To Mommy, Daddy is everything! To Daddy, Mommy is everything! I wish I was a daddy too!“
“Ha-ha-ha...“
Emily almost fell from her seat from laughing too much at Bowen's childish words.
Surprisingly, Beryl, the elder sister, joined in on the banter. “I agree! This is unfair and one-sided! Our teachers keep telling us that everyone is equal. If that's the case, Mommy should love us the same way she loves Daddy!“
“Hey, buddy, just settle down, okay?“ Jacob uttered with a complacent smile while pinching Bowen's chubby cheeks. After that, he cleared his throat and added, “Bowen, let's talk about this when you're all grown up and you have a wife of your own, okay?“
“But Mommy is my wife!“ Bowen angrily replied with a fierce yet innocently cute expression on his face.
