"Here sweety, I made your favourite dish," Sarah said, placing a steaming plate of food before Alex.
"Thanks, Ma. You're the best." Alex beamed a smile and began stuffing his face with passion and ignoring the rest of the family.
"You should at least wait for everyone to be served. Where are your manners?" Olivia rebuked, looking at Alex as if he were a barbarian seeing food for the first time in a long while.
"Yeah, brother. Mom would have struck my head if I did that." Aaron added with a displeased look. He didn't like the fact that Alex could get away with certain actions he couldn't.
After swallowing whatever he had in his mouth, Alex looked at his siblings and replied, "Unlike you guys, I've been away from home. You guys enjoy this almost every day. Cut me some slack."
"Hmph!" Olivia snorted and Aaron looked away, feeling petty for bringing that up when they just literally welcomed him back.
