Chapter 61

Eileen was a bit exasperated. She stood up from the steps, finally saying in defeat, “I’ll take you to Egbert first. How do you just recognize anyone as a family?”

With that, she extended her hand, “Hold my hand”

The little girl obediently took her hand.

Eileen held the girl’s in one hand and a food box in the other. They left through the backdoor and headed toward Egbert’s lounge.

Upon opening the lounge door, Eileen found it empty.

Unwilling to leave the girl alone, Eileen decided to stay. She sat on the sofa and asked, “Have you eaten yet?”

The girl shook her head.

Eileen frowned, “What’s up with Egbert?”

Sighing, she opened her food box, “Shall we share this? You can’t eat much, right?”

The little girl immediately perked up, “I don’t eat much. Just a little.”

Eileen laughed at her response and used a disposable fork to scoop some food, feeding it to the girl,

The girl opened her mouth wide and took a big bite.

She ate with serious effort, her cheeks puffed out on both sides.

Eileen also took a bite and asked, “Don’t you know what your aunt looks like?”

The girl replied with a mouth full of food, I’ve never seen my aunt”

Eileen raised an eyebrow, “Why is that?”

“My aunt’s not home,” the girl said, swallowing her food and opening her mouth for another bite.

Eileen chuckled, scooping up more food for her. The girl obediently took another bite.
