“Where’s Ben?” Miya asks.
Joey glances at Miya. “Mommy, have you just found out that Ben is not here?”
“…” Miya is embarrassed because Joey is right. She didn’t realize Ben wasn’t here until just now.
“Can you tell me where Ben is?” Miya asks.
“Ben said he would talk about the exam with his classmates and come back later. We felt bored at
school, so we came back first.” Andre explains.
Joey puts her hands on her chest and says, “that’s it.”
“All right.” Miya asks, “what would you like to eat tonight? The servant said she was busy cleaning
today and forgot to buy food. You can talk about what you want to eat. We can buy it later.”
“Mommy, are you going to the supermarket?” Joey asks.
Miya shakes her head. Now her stomach is bigger and bigger. She doesn’t dare to go shopping. She is
afraid that she will be uncomfortable.
“All right.” Joey stops smiling at once. She wants to go shopping with her mommy.
Joey is depressed and Miya asks her, “Joey, what’s the matter with you?”
“I’m fine.” Joey comforts herself in her heart. Even if they can’t go to the supermarket, they can visit the
lake together if she gets good grades.
“Tell me what you want to eat, or we can order delivery.” Miya asks the children for their opinions.
Joey thinks for a moment and says, “I have no idea. Let’s order delivery. The servant should have a
rest. She works all day and must be tired.”
The servant who happens to pass by hears Joey. She looks at Joey and is grateful to her.
“You often play mobile phones. Order delivery yourself.” Miya’s cell phone suddenly rings. She says, “I
have to answer the phone. I’ll be back later.”
The children look at each other. Andre thinks it’s a little unusual.
“Does Mommy make an excuse because she doesn’t want to cook?”
“Did you really forget to buy food today?” Gogo grabs the servant’s clothes and asks her.
The servant immediately shakes her head and says, “no, the fridge is full every day. Don’t talk
nonsense.”
She listens to Gogo and is angry. Is Gogo questioning her professionalism?
Joey hears the servant and looks down. Dad lied to her and Mommy made an excuse.
But even if Miya says she doesn’t want to cook, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. After all, the servant’s
cooking is delicious.
“What happened?” The servant asks in confusion. She thinks the atmosphere is strange!
The children shake their heads and say, “nothing.”
The servant is still confused. She says, “dinner is ready. Miss Miya has cooked. If you are hungry, I can
serve you !”
The children listen to the servant and are more confused. Mommy has cooked dinner. Why did she say
that?
When the servant serves the meal, Alex gets home. He smells the food and feels satisfied.
He goes to the kitchen and sees the children at the table, but he doesn’t see Miya. He asks, “where is
your mommy?”
Joey feels aggrieved for Ben. Neither of our parents thinks of you.
“Mommy is in the room. She told us to eat first. Dad, you can eat with us.” Joey points to the table and
says, “it’s Mommy’s new dish. We haven’t tasted it. Dad, are you going to be the first?”
“Yes!” Alex readily agrees. He picks up the chopsticks his daughter hands him and thinks she is cute.
But when he puts the new dish in his mouth, his face immediately changes.
“Dad, what’s the matter with you?” Joey asks, pretending to be worried.
Alex has no idea what to do now. He wants to vomit, but he thinks it is Miya’s dish and he hesitates. He
can’t swallow it. This dish is gorgeous in appearance, but it’s too salty.
Now Miya is still in a trance and not sober.
The children at the dinner table are skeptical. It doesn’t matter if Miya’s dishes are not delicious. The
servant can cook dinner again. Why did she run away in a hurry?
“Is there anything else in the fridge?” Joey asks.
The servant didn’t take it seriously just now, but she has been asked twice. There must be something
wrong. The servant opens the fridge and is surprised to find that there is really nothing left. She filled
the fridge today. Where is the food?
She sees a lot of vegetable leaves in the garbage can. She thinks maybe Miya has used up all the
ingredients for cooking.
“Sir, I’ve really filled up the fridge.” The servant explains. She can’t let them mistake her for stealing the
money. “They were all cooked by Miss Miya.”
“We don’t doubt you. Don’t worry. Today we order delivery. You can tell me what you want to eat.” Joey
takes her cell phone and walks up to the servant and rubs her and says, “you have been working hard
these days. Thank you.”
The servant feels warm.
When Ben comes back, it is dark. He told them that he would come back later, but he didn’t tell them
he didn’t need to be picked up! If there were not a bus in front of the school and he had no money, he
would not be able to return.
However, even if he comes back so late, his family doesn’t care.
“Ben, you’re back.”
Miya comes back and sees Ben.
Alex hears Miya and finds that Ben wasn’t there just now.
Ben looks at Alex and knows what he is thinking. He doesn’t expect Alex to feel guilty.
Alex quickly walks up to Miya and habitually puts his arm around her shoulders.
