Nia Mitchell instantly went stiff all over, her face full of smiles as she looked at the CEO.

"Uncle..."

She called softly, hoping he wouldn’t get angry.

But every time little Rabina used this trick, the CEO would...

...give in.

"Hm."

Maxwell Peary walked over, took the potato chips from her hand, and placed them on the side table.

"Look at you, your hands are covered in oil." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Nia looked at her fingers after hearing this.

Uh...

It did seem that way.

"I’ll wash them; it’ll be fine."

Why is he making such a fuss over her dirty hands?

After saying that, little Rabina immediately swung her legs off the sofa and scurried to the restroom.

Watching her retreating figure, Maxwell shook his head.

This was clearly just a big kid.

Sure enough, as he finished thinking this, he saw Nia bouncing back from the restroom.

"Uncle, look, my hands are clean."

She waved her hands in the air, looking quite pleased with herself.

Seeing her like this, Maxwell helplessly walked over.

"How can you just eat snacks? Snacks are not good for your health, you know?"

He said, taking her hand and leading her towards the Dining Hall.

"I know."

She’s always known, okay?

But she just had to eat them. Whether it’s healthy or not, it’s not really a big deal.

"You need to eat properly later, or I’m throwing away all your snacks."

Nia: ...

Why does it feel like the CEO is treating her like a child?

Nia couldn’t help but pout.

"Uncle, you’re too much, always threatening me like this."

He always wants to throw away all her snacks, humph!

Maxwell was taken aback and sighed.

"What else can I do? You don’t care about anything else."

Maxwell spoke quite helplessly.

He didn’t want to be so childish, resorting to such threats.

But little Rabina honestly didn’t care about anything else; the only thing she cared about in his heart was food.

"Then I’ll punish you with not being allowed to eat strawberries for a month?"

"No, no! Just throw away my snacks, all of them!"

Nia’s eyes widened instantly at Maxwell’s words, are you kidding?

How can she go so long without eating strawberries?

"Okay, got it, I’ll punish you by not letting you eat strawberries."

Oh no!

Nia felt completely mortified, it felt like she dug a hole and jumped right into it, burying herself.

How could this happen?

Tears welled up!

"Alright, hurry up and eat."

Dinner was very simple, just some porridge, some plain steamed buns, and pastries.

Maxwell didn’t like sweets much, so he just ate the plain steamed buns on the side.

Nia usually ate without any reservations, but today, having snacked, she wasn’t hungry at all.

Looking at the array of food before her, she actually felt there was nothing delicious.

Simply a crime.

So she just huddled there with her porridge.

"What, doesn’t it suit your taste?"

Only three minutes passed before Maxwell noticed something was off with Nia.

"No."

These things were tailored to her taste, how could they not be?

"You ate too many snacks."

The CEO furrowed his brow, thinking of that big bag of potato chips.

"No more snacks before dinner from now on."

Nia: ...!!!

So unfair!
