Gu Xinzhou steadied her mind.
She thought that no matter what, George had Song Zhen there to take care of him, and since George so admired Song Zhen and resisted her, her presence was not very meaningful.
Instead, she might as well take care of McDull here and then find an opportunity to talk to McDull about George.
With that thought, Gu Xinzhou patted McDull's little head, looking at his pitiful eyes as he clung to her leg like a koala and gazed up at her; those eyes were so watery and pitiable that she sighed, "Be good, mommy will eat with you."
McDull's pupils brightened up, and he joyfully pulled Gu Xinzhou to sit down.
In the kitchen, Gu Xinzhou also made pumpkin puree for George. She had looked it up online and consulted with Shen Shiqing; she knew pumpkin puree was easy to digest, soft, mushy, and sweet, which children like and is also stomach-friendly.
The maid came out holding a bowl full of pumpkin puree, not daring to deliver it herself.
While accompanying McDull at the meal, Gu Xinzhou kept an eye on the outside situation.
Seeing that the meal time had passed, Gu Xinzhou was afraid that George might starve and sent a message to Song Zhen, "Is George doing okay? I made him some pumpkin puree."
Soon, Song Zhen opened the room door and looked out, "Where's the pumpkin puree?"
The maid quickly presented the tray, "Mr. Song, it's here, personally made by the lady. Next to it are dumplings with pumpkin filling. The lady said when you feed the young master, you should also try some, don't starve yourself."
Song Zhen's eyes softened as they landed on the pumpkin puree.
Such a tangible change in demeanor surprised the maids who had taken care of Song Zhen for many years.
They had never seen any expression other than an "impassive face" on Song Zhen's face before. It was only after Gu Xinzhou and her two children entered Song Zhen's world that his impassive facade completely crumbled.
As Song Zhen took the tray, he looked at Shen Shiqing and Dr. Li, "You two go have a meal as well, don't worry about me here."
So, Song Zhen went in to feed George.
The maid also set the dinner that had been prepared early on the table, and Gu Xinzhou, Shen Shiqing, and Dr. Li ate together.
Shen Shiqing had grown very familiar with McDull.
Right after Fang Lingwei moved back from Wan'an Town, Shen Shiqing was living in Gu Xinzhou's small villa, seeing McDull almost every day, often eating together.
Seeing McDull's stomach full and round, he said with a smile, "Rest for a few minutes after eating, don't run around and jump, otherwise, your stomach might hurt."
McDull nodded, his eyes rolling around curiously.
In fact, he had always wanted to ask, who was the child in the room? Why hadn't daddy come to eat? Was it because daddy was staying with the child in the room?
But, it seemed that everyone knew but chose not to tell him.
McDull didn't really want to eat so much either.
He just didn't want to leave the table too early and miss out on any important news, which was why he kept stuffing his mouth, eventually turning himself into a ball.
"Burp!"
This was McDull's fourth full belch.
He sat dizzily in the chair, unable to eat another bite.
Patting his little stomach, he leaned back in his chair, "I can't move anymore, I need to rest, go ahead and talk, don't mind me, I won't hear anything anyway!"
Gu Xinzhou was restless because of George and didn't pay special attention to McDull's appetite.
Seeing him eat to such an extent, she felt somewhat guilty, "Dr. Shen, do you have any children's digestion medicine?"
Shen Shiqing laughed, "I do have some, but if the young master really feels unwell later, I'll give it to him then. Right now, he has no symptoms of discomfort; it's better not to take medicine if possible."
