Chapter 248 Look, Daddy Is Feeding Mommy!
Now that she was not living alone, Bianca prepared more food for breakfast.
However, she had limited experience in preparing a meal for a family. She prepared many differentitems so that the children could eat what they wanted.
On the big breakfast table were ham sandwiches and scrambled eggs.
Next to them was French toast and fresh milk, and also oatmeal seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon.
In the middle of the table was a grilled salmon steak.
Luke was already dressed neatly in his business suit. He sat cross-legged on the chair, his casualposture giving him a natural air of nobility.
His sculpted features were perfect yet distant.
Bianca thoroughly appreciated the elegant way Luke ate his breakfast.
Lanie and Rainie were well-trained to take their meals without speaking.
They sat next to Bianca and operated clumsily with their utensils.
When Bianca saw that, her motherly instincts were triggered, and she started to feed them.
She picked up a slice of ham with a fork and brought it toward her daughter's lips. "Open your mouth,Rainie," she said with a gentle smile.
Rainie lifted her head and looked at her mother. She opened her mouth, and the ham went inside.
That was not the first time she had eaten ham, but that was perhaps the best bite of ham she had evertasted!
Rainie blinked smugly at her brother, as though saying, "Look, Mommy is feeding me!"
Lanie looked at his sister with his big and round eyes. He was shoveling oatmeal into his mouth.
He swallowed the mouthful of oatmeal and looked expectantly at his mother.
"Feed yourself!" Luke said brusquely. He knew what his son was thinking.
Even he had never been spoon-fed by Bianca. He did not want his son to cultivate that bad habit!
After being reprimanded by his father, Lanie could only take the spoon and feed himself.
Rainie witnessed the scene. She knew that her father was talking to her brother, but it sounded like hewas talking about herself too.
She picked up her spoon and refused her mother's feeding.
However, Bianca thought that Luke was too harsh on her children.
She was just about to say something when a fork holding a small piece of salmon was brought to hermouth.
The two children's eyes popped!
'Daddy is feeding Mommy!'
Bianca felt a little embarrassed opening the mouth and slowly swallowing the piece of fish. She lookedat Luke's handsome face and wondered what he was thinking.
Lanie and Rainie looked at their father with their puppy eyes.
Luke's eyes met with the expectant gazes of his children and seemed to have a sudden pang ofconscience. He picked up a big piece of salmon, removed the bones, and placed half of it on each oftheir plates.
Lanie frowned and grumbled, "But Daddy, Rainie and I don't like fish..."
Rainie added, "Yeah, Daddy knows that Big Bro and I don't like fish, but he's giving us fish. Don't youthink that Daddy is naughty?"
The little girl turned to look at her mother for some consolation.
It was as though their father did not know what they liked to eat and what they did not.
"If you don't want to eat it, then you don't have to. I'll give you something else, alright?" Bianca spoke toher children patiently.
Luke did not lift his head, but his tone of voice was absolutely authoritative. "Kids should not be pickywith their food. You have to finish the fish on your plates today."
He knew that Lanie and Rainie disliked fish, but it was not good forthem to be picky about food at sucha young age. He wanted to rid them of the bad habit.novelbin
"Stupid Daddy, I don't like fish! Bad Daddy! I hate you!" Rainie was usually obedient, but she found thecourage to talk back, perhaps because her mother was on her side.
She pushed her plate away and said angrily, "I don't wanna eat fish. I don't wanna!"
Bang! Luke slammed the table.
All the plates and cutlery on the table shook.
Lanie quickly pulled back his outstretched arm. 'Oh no, Daddy is angry...' "Hmph! Do you see that,Mommy? Daddy is forcing us to eat something we don't like. Boo hoo... I'm done with breakfast..."
Rainie angrily hopped down from the chair.
Rainie wanted to stop her, but the little girl had dashed away toward the door.
"Rainie Crawford, if you step out that door, then don't ever come back!" Luke said sternly.
A barefaced threat!
Rainie turned around to look at her father's ice-cold face and instantly lost her nerve. She turnedaround, sat back on the chair, picked up her fork, and started to eat the fish with tears in her eyes.
Bianca found it incredulous that the man had used such brunt means to educate the children.
"They're only five years old, Luke!" Bianca said with surprise, "Don't you think that you're too harsh onthem?" "Eat all the fish on your plates. I dont want to see a single scrap!" Luke ignored Bianca andcontinued to order his children.
"I don't wanna eat fish, I don't wanna..." Using her fork, Rainie angrily mashed the piece of fish in herplate into bits.
"I'm really full, Daddy. Can I eat this next time?" Lanie asked carefully while observing the changes inhis father's expression.
Luke looked at the two children.
'Should I blame Bianca if the children grow up to be picky eaters?'
The two children were thoroughly terrified. Eventually, they resigned to fate and slowly ate the fish ontheir plates.
Bianca was shocked.
She knew that Luke was sometimes cold and distant, but he had a gentle and domestic side. She didnot expect that he could be so domineering over his children.
Bianca finally knew why the two children had feared their father!
'This is just...
'Even if they don't like fish, there are better ways to persuade them. Why must he resort to threats?
'They're young children after all.'
Bianca, who had been pampering her two children, slammed her fork on the table. "Luke, is that howyou usually treat Lanie and Rainie?" She said angrily, unable to take it anymore.
Luke finally came to his senses when he saw Bianca's slightly furrowed brows.
In Crawford Manor, whenever the children were picky about food at the dining table, he would alwaysget angry.
He forgot that Bianca was sitting at the same table. How was he going to comfort her?
