Chapter: 1014
Bennet forgives you.'
“It smells so good." An irresistible fragrance wafted on Joey's nares, and he could not help tilting his head and looking out of the window.
There was a snack street near Gentlefolk, but the roads leading there were all blocked. Since the vendors could not set up their stalls in the snack street, they had to instead set up their stalls on both sides of the road the Maybach was travelling along. The particular fragrance Joey smelled emanated from the roadside barbecue.
A low rumbling sound reverberated in the stillness of the car. Soon after Joey finished his words, his stomach growled uncontrollably.
The sound was not that loud, but the silence in the car was almost deafening that they could hear a pin drop. So the sound of complaint from Joey's stomach was particularly clear. Joey hurriedly covered his stomach and was red with embarrassment.
Seeing that Joey tried his best to save himself from complete humiliation by covering up his stomach, the restraint shackling
Rachel crumbled, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Do you want to eat?" she asked.
Her question roused the boiling excitement inside the child. Joey blinked his eyes and asked expectantly, "Can I?"
In fact, a snack street was also near the Red Hackers headquarters.
Although the food sold there was not as abundant and famed as the snack street they were now traversing along, many people would still be seen there every day. Quintin took Joey there once, and they had a taste of all the delicious food on that street.
Because they were unrestrainedly eating left and right, Joey suffered from diarrhea later that night and was put on intravenous drip at home for a week because of dehydration.
Rachel took Quintin to the boxing gym and beat the latter. That should make them learn their Lessons.
Since then, Joey had never been to that snack street again. The thought alone of feeling unwell for a whole week was enough of a strain for him to not come near the snack street. To Joey, the food in this street looked much more appetizing and delicious.
Another yap escaped; Joey's stomach growled again. Although the humiliation was eating the child alive, Joey managed to look up at
Rachel awkwardly.
"Okay, but you can't eat too much." Seeing Joey's flickering eyes,
Rachel could not refuse him. Considering how his stomach was growling, he must be famished.
Looking back at the time she was still conceiving him, she had difficulty giving birth and almost had a post-natal massive hemorrhage. After Joey was born, he did not fancy drinking his mother's breast milk, causing him to be weaker than other children his age. From then on, he had to follow a strict diet prepared by
Rachel and he rarely ate deep-fry food outside that was not part of his meal.
In particular, Rachel also remembered that when Quintin came back from getting around over the snack street with Joey, Joey had to endure diarrhea and dehydration.
But as Joey grew up, his physical condition was getting better, so it did not matter anymore that Joey would occasionally eat snacks.
With this in mind, Rachel had no reason to refuse one of Joey's rare requests.
Joey avidly wrapped his arms around Rachel's neck and kissed her on the cheek. He could not contain his fervor.
"Mommy, you are so kind!"
