Chapter 434: Third News II

"Where is Mommy?" Nathaniel asked Ewan immediately as he came into the dining room with his sister, both dressed in their uniforms for school. Behind them was Chelsea, who would be taking them to school that morning.

"She is already out for work," Ewan replied simply, watching as the trio took their seats in the dining room.

He raised a brow, wondering at their fascination with toasted bread as all three reached for the same plate at the same time.

Gianna had done the same thing a few minutes ago, grabbing four of the sweet-smelling goodness before hurrying out of the house as though someone had lighted a flame under her ass.

"This tastes different," Kate mentioned with a small frown, chewing slowly. "Did Grandma not make it?"

Ewan exchanged glances with Old Mr. Thorne, whom he had been talking with before the trio stepped in, and shook his head. "No. I did."

Silence fell in the room, only interrupted by Old Mr. Thorne sipping from his coffee cup. But just for a minute.

Chelsea broke it with a laugh. "Didn’t know you could cook too, Ewan... who taught you? Athena?"

She winked, amused, as Ewan visibly balked at the comment.

"What?" She pressed,then remembering the twins with her, she shrugged her shoulders, biting down on the softness.

"Don’t you like it?" Ewan asked his children, ignoring Chelsea’s question deliberately. Who had taught him to cook—or rather make toasted bread that way—was Athena. It was no surprise Chelsea had guessed it right. The woman must have eaten a lot of it from her friend’s hands.
