The atmosphere during the meal was quite strange.
Auretin was glaring at Lea, giving off a face-paralysis look whose desires had not been met.
Lea’s and Elvis’s sharp gazes looked like they were about to poke Burke into a honeycomb briquette and what they were chewing on seemed like it was not meat but Burke’s bones instead.
Burke and the three little ones ate their food quietly, trying to control their eyes with all their might but they still ended up peeking at Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng face-palmed, how she wished her observation skills were not so sharp.
She just wanted to have a good meal.
Stretching her arm out to hug Kanwu, Gu Mengmeng noticed that he did not touch the meat in his bowl so she asked out of concern, “Why are you not eating?”
Kanwu lowered his head and stared at the meat in his bowl, replying, “I invited Master Burke back so I gave my portion of meat to him.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned, her heart aching for him.
She knew Elvis’s education was too much and it resulted in a huge mental pressure on the kid.
But she could not criticize Elvis in front of the kids so she could only comfort him, “Foolish son, Burke saved you so he is our entire family’s benefactor. Even if you did not invite him back, Mummy will not let him go hungry. So you don’t have to save up on your food for him, be good and eat up, alright?”
Kanwu lifted his head and looked at Gu Mengmeng but lowered his head the next second. Shaking his head, he said, “No, I’ll repay what I owe.”
Gu Mengmeng did not miss how Kanwu’s gaze landed on Elvis when saying that sentence. Since her heart ached for her son, her gaze towards Elvis also became a blaming one.
Elvis sighed in defeat but he did not say anything.
Kanwu looked up at Gu Mengmeng and said with an exceptionally serious expression, “Mummy, I apprenticed Burke as my Master so he will teach me how to become stronger. From tomorrow onwards, we will start the training from hunting so you don’t have to get too worried because I’ll be responsible for my own decisions.”
How could a child who had not reached one year old talk about being responsible? It really made one’s heart ache.
Gu Mengmeng pulled her son in for her hug and then shared half her meat with Kanwu, saying, “How about this, you give your share to Burke and Mummy share half of hers with you. Is that fine?”
Kanwu shook his head and returned the meat back into Gu Mengmeng’s bowl. He looked at her with a clear but resolute gaze, saying, “I’m a male beast, how can I snatch a female’s food? Mummy, you will make me feel useless this way.”
Gu Mengmeng bit her lower lip, she really wanted to lend a mobile phone to use the Internet and upload a post titled, “What should I do if my child is too strong? Is there anyone whose son had become rebellious at the age of one? Please advise! I’m waiting online, it’s an urgent matter.”
Elvis slowly stood up and walked to Gu Mengmeng. He kicked Kanwu to the ground and then held the bowl up to pour the meat directly into his mouth. Then, he used his large palm to cover Kanwu’s mouth like an iron vise and warned, “Eat it, don’t make my wife worry.”
Kanwu’s eyes turned red, but he forced himself to not cry as he swallowed the meat in his mouth without chewing on it.
When Gu Mengmeng hugged Kanwu in her embrace after pushing Elvis away, he had already swallowed the meat in his mouth.
Elvis turned the empty bowl upside down and showed it to Gu Mengmeng, assuring her gently, “It’s done, he ate it. Don’t worry.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned as she could not hold in anymore and howled at Elvis, “What’s your problem?! Are you feeding your son or torturing a criminal?! Is he your son or your enemy?”
