Chapter 936

However, as he woke up, the real challenge began.

In the back seat, little Henry was lying there, bare-bottomed and bawling his eyes out, his tiny tush exposed to the great outdoors for the first time. Waking up to the sight of his not-so-familiar brother holding him, Henry, in his adorable innocence, hadn't quite grasped what was happening. His brother, unable to resist his cuteness, swooped in for a big, affectionate kiss.

That triggered the waterworks, and Henry was inconsolable.

Just as he was about to calm down, his well-meaning but slightly clueless brother plopped him in the back seat to change his diaper, cleaning him up. "Come on, stop crying! Whether it stinks or not, I'm the best big brother in history for having to do this. You better look after me when I'm old, you hear?"

Leo used up half a pack of baby wipes on him. "Uh-oh, Henry, looks like I put your diaper on backward. Hold still, let me fix that."

Henry's cries echoed through the empty parking lot, his baby voice the only sound in the air.

While Anya was busy with her exam, Leo was keeping himself occupied. He tried honking the car horn to entertain Henry, but couldn't do that for long. Then he picked some wildflowers and tucked one behind Henry's ear. Henry paused, removed it, gave it a curious look, then resumed crying.

Leo even took him to the supermarket for some snacks, letting him pick whatever caught his eye.

Finally, Leo played what he thought was the silliest cartoon ever, "Boonie Bears," which Henry's mom loved.

Sure enough, Henry was glued to the screen.

Leo, slightly mocking, said, "You know, you could be watching 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' but I guess we'll stick with this."

The moment the phone's screen went dark, Henry clutched his rice cake, his little mouth quivering, gearing up for another cry.

"Alright, alright, here, watch your favorite cartoon."

Back in their school days, Mia and Molly would sneak off to a café and watch this show on their brother's tablet.
