True Love Waits

Chapter 383 Godfather

Looking at the empty bowl in front of Carlos, Piggy said cheerfully, "Uncle, you like wontons?"

Carlos nodded, "Yeah. It's yummy." Then he started on the beef and noodles.

Debbie walked out of the kitchen in an apron, holding a plate filled with a variety of sliced fruit. "Here, Piggy, have some fruit with Uncle. I bought your favorite cherries."

"Thanks, Mommy!" Piggy got to her feet and shot towards the bathroom to wash her hands.

Placing the plate on the table, Debbie followed Piggy into the washroom. "Hold on, honey. Mommy turns on the tap."

Watching their retreating figures, Carlos couldn't help but smile.

Piggy was the first one back to the dining room. She took a cherry from the plate, stood on tiptoe and raised it to Carlos' lips. "Uncle, eat this. It's my favorite."

Debbie just entered the dining room. Knowing about his obsession with cleanliness, she rushed over to stop Piggy. "Piggy, give it to Mommy. Uncle is eating noodles. He can't eat cherries while eating noodles, right? You can save some for him."

Piggy stared at her mom in confusion. "Noodles and cherries. Eat both. You do."

Debbie was lost for words. She didn't expect Piggy to have such a good memory.

As she was trying to come up with another excuse, Carlos raised Piggy's hand, lowered his head and ate the cherry. After eating it, he gave Piggy a thumbs-up. "Wow, it's so sweet! Thank you, Evelyn. You're a good girl."

Again, Debbie didn't know how to respond. 'So is he not a clean freak anymore? Or is that just for Piggy?'

After devouring the noodles, Carlos returned to eating cherries with Piggy. Debbie went back to the kitchen to clean the dishes.
