NovelEnglishChapter 715 Mia retrieved sclean utensils from a nearby shelf and handed them to Luna. “Why don’t you start by feeding Asher,” she suggested.
“Ms. Monalize, just so you know, Asher can feed himself; he’s just a little shy,” Luna retorted.
Taking the utensils, she placed them in Asher’s hand and whispered, “If you don’t do as | say, there will be consequences when we get home!” As a child, Asher instinctively felt scared and obediently took the utensils. However, his movements were somewhat shaky.
He struggled to hold the utensils steadily, let alone pick up the food.

The contrast between them was stark, highlighting Asher’s disadvantage.
Just then, Ginger picked up a piece of meat with her fork and placed it on Mia's plate. “Mommy, have some.” Mia smiled warmly and replied, “Thank you, sweetie.” Without hesitation, Ginger then picked up another piece and placed it on Timothy's plate. “Tim, here you go,” she offered.
As Timothy looked at the meat Ginger had given him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Observing the situation, Luna quickly interjected, “Mr. Barrett is a bit of a germaphobe. He typically doesn’t share his food with others, especially if it has been touched by someone else.” Standing up, Luna continued, “Tim, I'll help you get a fresh plate and a new set of cutlery.” Ginger appeared flustered, her gaze shifting toward Timothy. The smile that had lit up her face moments ago now faded slightly.
However, Timothy gazed at the meat on his plate and proceeded to eat it without a trace of hesitation.
Ginger beamed with a bright smile. “Is it tasty?” she asked eagerly.
Timothy's lips curled slightly as he replied, “Yes, it’s good. Just focus on your meal and don’t worry about the adults, okay?” Everyone at the table was taken aback Mia's eyes betrayed a hint of surprise. She hadn't expected Timothy to eat the food Ginger had cut for him.
After all, individuals with germaphobia typically disliked others handling their food.
Luna was equally shocked by the scene. The fact that Timothy had eaten the food Ginger had offered was simply unbelievable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, everyone in the Barrett family knew about Timothy's germaphobia, and no one would dare to touch upon that sensitive issue.
While Ginger was picking out Timothy's food earlier, Luna initially thought her moment had come.
Much to her surprise, Timothy went ahead and ate the food Ginger had offered him.
With a firm grip, Luna held onto the plate and cutlery. Stepping forward, she offered, “Tim, I'll fetch you another set of utensils.” Holding his plate, Timothy frowned as he glanced at Luna. “Instead of focusing on others, why don’t you spend more thelping Asher? “He can’t even pick up his cutlery to eat on his own. He’s so big and still needs to be fed! What kind of teaching methods are you using?” Luna’s dignity crumbled under Timothy's stern reprimand.
Watching the unfolding scene, Mia intervened, saying, “Mr. Barrett, let's not be too harsh. It’s natural for mothers to spoil their children. As a single mom, Ms. Maynard is bound to indulge Asher a bit.” Timothy couldn't help but let out a disdainful snort. Nonetheless, he decided not to say anything more in front of the children.
Flushed with embarrassment, Luna returned to her seat, shooting Asher a glare and feeling utterly humiliated.
At that moment, Ginger placed her utensils on the table. “I'm full, Mommy. Can | go play with my toys?” “Of course,” Mia replied.
Turning to Asher, Luna remarked, “Asher, it seems like you're not interested in eating either. Why don’t you join her and play with the toys? Luna was determined to prevent Asher from misbehaving further and leaving a negative impression on Timothy.
