Theresa nodded, "Yeah, mommy also said I can't accept gifts from Mr. Evert." "Did mom say you can accept gifts from dad?" Brandon whispered to her. Sophia cleared her throat lightly and pushed the freshly served boat congee in front of Theresa, "Here, Theresa, have some congee first."

Theresa's attention was instantly drawn to Sophia, and after crisply saying "Okay", she leaned forward a bit and took the small spoon Sophia handed her.

Brandon glanced at Sophia.

Sophia pretended not to see, just watched Theresa intently as she clumsily scooped up a small spoonful of congee, blew on it gently before bringing it to her mouth, and then took a tiny bite. Then she beamed at Sophia with a smile that

reached her eyes.

"Mommy, it's yummy."

After that, she picked up a spoon nearby, scooped up a little bit, and brought it to Sophia's mouth, "You try too, Mommy."

Sophia tasted it and smiled back at her, "Mm, it's delicious."

Theresa was even happier and, using the spoon Sophia had just used, scooped up another small spoonful and turned to offer it to Brandon, "Daddy, you try too."

Sophia instinctively started to protest, "I've already served some for daddy."

Before she could finish, Brandon already opened his mouth and drank the congee Theresa offered.
