Chapter 275: Come On
"Are you still ignoring me?" Adam asked, watching as Melanie walked over to the kitchen island and set down her food with an exaggerated huff.
Adir, who was busy colouring in his book, looked up without missing a beat and replied, "I think that means—yes."
Adam rolled his eyes at the boy, which prompted Adir to roll his own eyes right back at him, wearing a smug little grin that made Adam sigh.
"You really need to stop troubling her," Adir said matter-of-factly, his tone far too serious for someone his age. "She’s so mad at you today, she even snapped at Miss Melody just for saying your name."
He shook his head slowly, then added in a dramatic tone that almost made Adam laugh, "You better give her a proper apology, before she snaps at someone else next. Maybe even me. And if I have to suffer because of your mistake, I will add salt to your coffee."
Adam shook his head at Adir, unconcerned by the threat but instead turned to look at Melanie with concern, who, as Adir rightly pointed out, was still ignoring him.
"You need to go and wash your hands for dinner, Adir." Melanie said shortly which prompted Adir to send an accusing look at Adam, blaming him for Melanie’s shortness with him.
"You need to go wash your hands for dinner, Adir," Melanie said shortly, without so much as glancing at the boy.
Adir gave Adam a pointed, almost betrayed look, as if silently blaming him for Melanie’s clipped tone. Then, with the exaggerated dignity of someone making a noble sacrifice, he slid off his chair and trudged toward the sink.
