Chapter 191: The Shit Disturber
"You’re joking, right?" sputtered Eve as Tank carried me over to the chair he was sitting on and arranged me in his lap. "You are nothing more than a child."
"Whatever you need to believe in order to sleep at night," I replied with a wave of my lollypop. Then, an idea hit me. "I guess we can take whatever you want to Alicia and René, but with the state of everything these days, I can’t guarantee that it will actually get to them. You know how it is: zombies and killer clowns. Not to mention the survivors who attack anyone at the drop of the hat. Really, anything can happen."
Adam’s face was locked in a disapproving frown, but the joke was on him; that just made me want to press his buttons all that much more. "What do you say, Daddy?" I asked Chang Xuefeng while keeping my eyes on Adam. "Are we going to take the chance with their stuff? With the understanding that it might not even get where they wanted it to go."
"Whatever you want, Sweetness," sighed Chang Xuefeng as he dropped a kiss on my forehead before walking over to the table with all the snacks on it. "But lollypops aren’t an actual food group. Do you have anything else to eat that contains a protein and a vegetable?"
Letting out a long sigh, I conjured exactly what he was looking for. "What is this? It looks like a stew?"
"Gumbo," I replied as he brought the bowl over. "And it is yummy."
Holding out his hand for my lollypop, he replaced it with a fork while giving Tank the bowl to hold for me. "If it’s yummy, then make sure you finish off the whole bowl. You’ve lost weight. I’m not happy."
"Yes, Daddy," I sighed, digging into the bowl. Ah, it was so warm and comforting... I always forgot how much I liked some stuff until I’ve had it again. And then I wondered why I wasn’t eating more of it more often.
"So, you are her father," murmured Eve in a sentence that was neither a question nor a statement.
