You're Out Daddy

By the time Anthony woke up, there was already a delectable spread of food on the dining table.

Thalia sat at the table, happily eating away. There were lobsters, crabs, and a wide variety of food from some of the best restaurants in town.

Anthony got up from the couch and walked to the dining table. “Why didn’t you wake me?”

“The food only just arrived and I was wondering whether to wake you up or not!”

For some reason, Anthony no longer felt that hungry. However, he got his appetite back once he saw the delicious food and began tucking into it.

“When I went to collect the food earlier, I bumped into your great-grandfather downstairs,” Thalia said as she looked at the boy.

Anthony froze momentarily and gazed up at her. “And?”

“I thought he wouldn’t remember me, but he did! He even came up to say hello,” Thalia said with a smirk. “I guess beautiful women do leave a stronger impression…”

“You didn’t shoot your mouth off, did you?” Anthony asked sternly.

Thalia tossed him a glance. “Don’t worry. Do you think I’m that ignorant?”

Anthony flinched at that. Ha. Who knows?

“So, what did he say?” Anthony asked as he slowly reached for a piece of lobster meat. He might be young, but he carried himself with poise and elegance even when it came to eating.

“He said to drop by your house for a meal when I’m free,” Thalia replied with a chuckle. “Say, is your great-grandfather good at cooking?”

Seeing the glint in her eyes, Anthony instantly shot daggers back at her. “Don’t even think about it.”

“Why not?”

“How am I supposed to explain to Mommy?”

“I’m your martial arts instructor, aren’t I? We can always go with that.”

“Mommy’s not that easily fooled.”

“Does that mean Kenneth is?”
