The Runaway Groom

Baby was fine with using cutlery, but he tended to make a mess.

Still, it was nothing since there were plenty of servants around the house, and Irene did not have to do anything.

Once Baby had his fill, they left, picking up Tommy around five when school was out.

Irene had both her boys share a room so that they would bond.

Tommy blinked. "But I am the older brother."

Irene pinched his cheek, "Yes, and you're all grown up."

Once she was done helping Baby get dressed, Baby threw himself at Tommy, hugging him and kissing his cheeks, calling out cutely, "Tommy, Tommy..." "You're heavy." Tommy shoved him.
