Burrowing into his arms, Carolien rubbed her aching nose. Lifting her gaze, confusion filled her eyes. "Huh?"

"What's wrong? Hasn't he had enough yet?"

Just as the thought flashed through Carolien's mind, Elijah replied on cue, "Hug me."

She tilted her head and looked at him. Raising her hand, Carolien reached out and touched his forehead. "What's wrong with you? Are you unwell?" What kind of ridiculous issue was this?

"Yes, I seem to have eaten too much!"

It wasn't that uncomfortable. Elijah was just greedy for that feeling so he came up with a random excuse.

"Are you a child? Are you trying to overindulge?" She couldn't understand why he didn't know his own limits when it came to eating.

While saying this, Carolien leaned to one side and supported him. She touched him with concern and gently massaged him. "Is your stomach uncomfortable? Does it hurt or not?"

"Here? Or here?"

"Do you feel better?"

As if taking care of a child, Carolien's expression and actions were very serious.

Although he was full, it wasn't as bad as she was making it seem. However, Carolien's sudden actions made Elijah's mind go blank.
