An hour later...
As Sophia and Mary finished their homework on the dining table, their belly was starting to rumble loudly.
However, Katherine and Meiya still haven't arrived back home despite the time already being seven o'clock.
"Where is Mom? How are they still not back yet?" Sophia complained as the two of them leaned back down on the sofa.
"I don't know."
As Alex continued reading his book silently with no signs of hunger, Sophia and Mary were too hungry to do anything else.
"Sophia, you go cook," Mary demanded, with barely energy on her face.
"No, you go cook," Sophia demanded back.
With neither side willing to back down, they both turned their attention over to Alex.
"Alex, cook dinner for us... Please, you wouldn't be cruel enough to watch them go hungry, would you?"
Despite them trying to shake him out of the book by grabbing his arms, he quickly shoved them away.
