My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 42

The boy leaned on Old Mrs. Xavier’s knees and said with a soft voice, “Mel just likes to eat Mommy’s food. She slims down these days because we are staying with the Xavier family.” Old Mrs. Xavier chuckled. “If I don’t let your mommy cook, will I be a bad person?” “No, I just want you to try Mommy’s cooking. It’s really good.” Alden blinked. “You’ll know when you try.” “Alden, you’re really a good boy!” Old Mrs. Xavier affectionately caressed Alden’s head. He was just a four-year-old boy.
