Chapter 435: A Perfect Family.
"Alex, would you like more salad?" asked Nora as she filled her own plate with meat. "Alric, pass some salad to Alex, he likes it before eating his meal." Alric paused. He raised his head to see Alex and then salad near him. When Alex did not refuse or argue, he took a deep breath.
With some hesitation, he picked up the bowl and placed it beside Alex. Alex’s stiffened hands picked up the bowl and took a good amount of salad. Ava froze at her place as the scene unfolded. Her hand held the fork so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Nora placed her hand on her arm.
Ava turned to look at Nora. she was stunned again with that assuring smile. No, she could not believe it. She had dreamed of their family for so many times yet she got disappointed every time. What if this was a temporary truce? She lowered her head and started eating again.
Nora smiled. She could understand Ava’s fear. But Alric wanted amends. As long as Alex agrees. She had asked him in the car. Alex had not replied.
"Alric! Today was our last exam. Alex had returned! even my birthday passed recently. Should we not celebrate it?" Ava was the first to nod.
"Of course, darling. If they did not have time for you. We can celebrate without them." she glared at Alex and Alric making Alex gasp.
"What did I do? Why have I been abandoned too? If it is.." he went silent at once and looked away.
Alric was staring at him with a stunned gaze. But he soon looked away. Nora was still pouting. She leaned on Ava’s shoulders.
"Mom! Only you care about me. We should book a spa and relax there. They did not care about me at all." Alex shoved a large spoon of salad in his mouth to keep himself away from the chat.
