708: YOU CAN EAT MORE

YOU CAN EAT MORE

Apple took her time to go back home to see his dad and Jack, because Jayden would be home a little late tonight.2

And as soon as she reached their front porch, she could hear her father teaching Jack something and the boy's cheerful voice.

"If I press too hard, it will break," said Jack.

"Of course not, you're too small to damage it, you're not that big yet," said Pyro while ruffling his hair.

It was the first thing Apple heard as she walked into the house and found her father teaching Jack how to play.

"Wow! You bought a PS5?" said Apple, looking at the game her father had bought for Jack. Even though it had only been a while, it seemed that her father was already very interested in this boy. Maybe it was because he was feeling lonely. "I brought some food for you, anyone up for a snack? I'll plate it."

"Let me do it," said Jack quickly, he wanted to help with something, so that they would like him and allow him to stay there longer. If they were mad at him, then they could just kick him out of this house.

"No need," said Apple with a laugh. She then ruffled his hair, like Pyro did earlier and Jack loved it, no one had ever done that to him. "You just play with dad."

"Don't tell me the snack you bought is calamari," said Pyro with a suspicious look at the package that Apple bought and he got a snort from his daughter.

"Of course not," Apple said. She didn't feel like eating calamari today, but wanted something sweet.

After saying this, Apple left the living room and then headed to the kitchen to plate the snack.

The two of them had already had dinner and Apple had already eaten before she got here, because she stopped by a restaurant.

Earlier, she didn't buy calamari but chocolate cake and also vanilla sponge cake which she tried when she went to the pastry shop next to the restaurant where she was eating and she loved the texture and taste of the cake.

So she bought some to take home and also a few more boxes to take to the apartment for herself to eat with Jayden.

Apple wouldn't be home long, because she had to get back before Jayden got home. She was only here to check on her father and Jack, but they both seemed fine. In fact, they got along pretty well.

"Well, here's the cake," said Apple, bringing over two plates of chocolate cake and vanilla cake. "This is for you and this is for dad."

They both had to pause their game for a while for Jack to try the cake that Apple brought and his face looked very cheerful.

"This cake is delicious, thank you, Sis Apple," said Jack happily, this was the first time he had eaten such delicious food.

"Eat slowly, no one will take it from you, if you still want more, you can take it from the kitchen table," Apple said with a small laugh when she saw Jack so amazed at the taste of the cake.

"I've been invited to a birthday party and it was the first time I've had a cake with whipped cream, but this cake is way better than that birthday cake," chirped Jack.

He was not a quiet kid, it was just that because he didn't have anyone to talk to, he tended to keep things to himself.

"Eat slowly, later Uncle will take you to buy a delicious cake," said Pyro and Jack nodded in agreement. "I'll talk to Apple for a while, okay? So you wait here and play by yourself first."

"Yes," answered Jack obediently and began to eat his cake carefully so as not to dirty the carpet.

Then after that, Pyro went to talk to Apple in the kitchen, while watching Jack start to play by himself. He was a calm kid and didn't need much to be managed because he knew what he had to do.

"So? What happened while you were there?" Pyro asked once he and Apple had sat down at the dinner table.

"Humph. You know what mom is like," Apple said annoyed and started to tell everything that happened in the house and said proudly that she landed one absolute blow to James' face and made him fall to the floor with blood flowing from the corner of his lips as well as his nose.

"That's my girl!" said Pyro proudly, but then he realized he shouldn't be praising Apple at a time like this. "No, no, you shouldn't do that when you're pregnant."

Apple pursed her lips and said in a calm tone. "I'm fine, I think my baby is happy because I beat people like that," she said lightly.

"Hhh…" Pyro sighed heavily and made Apple laugh.

"Don't worry dad, I'll be more careful from now on, but I'm really fine," Apple tried to reassure him.

This father of hers was overreacting…

But while the two of them were chatting quietly, they could hear a commotion from outside.

"What's that?" asked Apple with furrowed brows, she and Pyro then immediately stood up to go and check what was really going on.

"Hopefully, this time it's no longer people who just came to leave their children behind," said Pyro with a little sarcasm.

The last time the bodyguards outside made such a fuss was when they found Jack, therefore, Pyro hoped this wasn't the same case.

The two of them then exited the kitchen and walked through the living room and saw Jack staring at the door with a frightened look on his face, the game was long forgotten.

"Relax," Apple said calmly.

But what Jack was really afraid of was that his mother would come and force him to go back home. He didn't want to go home and wanted to be in this house with Uncle Pyro and sister Apple a little longer.
