Chapter 18 She Is So Gentle
Leora reacted quickly. The moment the thing flew to her, she dodged.
With a thud, a glass smashed into the wardrobe behind her, shattering completely.[]

Leora had never seen anyone with such a quick temper. This boy wanted to hit her without saying a word. Leora frowned. She was a little angry, but when she saw the boy in front of her, her anger dissipated somehow.[]
In the middle of the quilt and pillow, the boy in brown checkered pajamas was looking at her. His tender facial features seemed to be carefully carved. Even now, she could imagine how attractive he would be when he grew up.[]
But now, his face twisted in anger, and his face was full of grievance
What’s wrong? Leora took two steps forward and squatted down. “Who bullled you?”
The boy looked at her, a trace of doubt flashing through his watery eyes. The next second, he pushed her hand away, looking as if he was on guard against strangers.]
Seeing this, Leora did not touch him again. She just sat on the ground. They stared at each other.]
Soon, the voice of the hotel attendant came from outside the door, “Ms. Bradley, the porridge and blueberry compote are ready. Should I send them in?”
“No need.” Leora turned around and said, “Put them outside and cover them with a cap.
The fragrance of food drifted in from outside the door. The boy, who had been silent all this time, stole glances at her from time to time. It seemed that he had already swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
After making such a ruckus for so long, it was indeed time for him to be hungry.
Leora seemed to remember something after she waited for a while. Tm a little hungry. I want to eat something here. Is that okay?”
The boy frowned with a gloomy face. He looked away, not saying a word.
Leora took it as a tacit agreement. She went outside and brought the food in. The porridge looked delicious, and the blueberry compote looked sweet. She took an empty bowl, poured half a bowl of porridge into it, and added some blueberry compote. She scooped up some porridge. It smells so good. It must be so yummy.
She heard the boy swallow his saliva.
Leora held the bowl and pretended to be surprised when she looked back and saw the awkward and expectant eyes of the bay. She suppressed her laughter and pretended to hesitate, “Do you want to try it? It is quite delicious. It is my favorite food
The boy sitting on the quilt nodded hesitantly.
“Okay.” Only then did Leora bring the bowl closer to him. She scooped a spoonful of porridge with blueberry compote into his mouth. “Is it delicious?”
The boy chewed, and his eyes lit up. He nodded.
Leora did not stop. She scooped another spoonful and fed him.[]
The boy secretly sized up Leora in front of him as he ate, thinking, “It seems that she is different from the other aunties who are afraid of me but hate me. She is so gentle“]
Soon, he ate up the porridge.
Leora took a tissue to wipe his mouth and said jokingly, “Well, only when you are full do you have the strength to continue to lose your temper, right?”
The boy pouted and was a little unhappy. He suddenly turned his face away, as if he didn’t like being teased like this.
Leora smiled. She turned to take the bowl and was about to send it out. Just when she got up, she was pulled. When she looked down, she saw the little boy with a wronged face pulling her skirt. It seemed that he thought she was going to leave
Looking at his insecure look, Leora thought of her daughter. In the past, when she was busy with work, she did not have time to stay with her daughter. She could not help but feel distressed.]
She said, “I’m not leaving. I’m just sending the bowl out to avoid knocking it over.
The boy still clung to the corner of her skirt and refused to let go.]
