In the living room.

The servant served some fruits and pastries, placing them on the table. Meanwhile, Jelly Bean was playing a game on the game console. As Mashauva cheered her on, she sneakily grabbed a bunch of grapes for herself and occasionally fed some to Jelly Bean.

Beanie warned her sternly as soon as he noticed that, "Mashauva, you've just eaten. Don't have too much fruit."

Mashauva had already eaten a lot during the meal. Her stomach might get bloated if she continued to consume so many fruits.

Beanie's advice was for her own good.

Mashauva was stunned to hear him calling her name with a stern tone. She was immediately dazed, and then she lifted her head to look at Beanie.

Mashauva was at a loss when she saw Beanie frowning as if he was furious.

"So... sorry, Beanie. I didn't mean to."

Mashauva's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, and she stopped eating the grapes in her

hand.

Beanie was stunned at the sight of her tears, "Why are you crying?"

He merely reminded her not to eat too much as her stomach might bloat, but why was she crying? Mashauva noticed his impatient look that came on, and her eyes widened even more with tears brimming in them, but she dared not let them stream down her cheeks as she pursed her lips in silence.

Jelly Bean also realised that there was tension in the air. Although she was still tender in age, she stopped playing her game and tilted her head to look at Mashauva once she spotted Mashauva's tears. "I'm sorry, Beanie." Mashauva put the bunch of green grapes back into the plate and mumbled in a soft voice, "I won't eat them anymore. I won't simply eat like this anymore. P-please, don't be mad at me." Beanie replied, "When did I get mad at you?"

He stood up, but Mashauva was so frightened that she immediately burst into tears, "I'm sorry, Beanie. I really won't eat any more grapes."
