Chapter 126 Feeling crazy waiting for her (2/2)
”Are you really alright, Harry?”
”I'm alright. I just need time alone.”
”Are you sure?”
”Hmm...”
No longer able to persuade him, Mia turned around and stormed out of the room. She needed to find someone who could push Harry to get out of the room. It was not healthy just lying on the bed for days!
”Mummy~”
”Yes, my darling?”
”Harry still refuses to get out. The porridge and snacks are still uneaten.”
Mrs Si paused from her knitting and looked at her daughter. ”What did he say?”
Mia took the work her mom was doing and checked on it, ”Mom, it's crook again.”
Her mother who was heading toward her son's room turned around and looked at her work, frowning.
”It's just a slight one,” she waved her hand.
”But isn't this your present to dad and you want him to bring this everywhere?”
Her mother just learned how to knit and the one teaching her was Mia, her daughter. Despite looking so chic and very modern, Mia was actually good in knitting. She even joined the knitting club.
Today, her mother decided that she too would knit and as Mr Si's birthday would be next month, it would be the best time to start. For the beginning, instead of doing something simple and small, Mrs Si decided to make a colourful sweater.
Mia was having a huge headache. Her mother was not good on staying focus on long period and easy to get bored too. And knitting a sweater would take a long hour and concentration.
Mia only wish was for her father to receive a complete sweater on the day of his birthday, not just balls of yarn.
”Mom, you have to do this part again,” without thinking, Mia began to take off the crook side.
Luckily for her, Mrs Si's attention was turned toward her son. After she shrugged off the crook side, she headed toward her son's room.
”Henry.”
Harry's ears twitched when he heard his mother's voice. He groaned under his breath.
Then, taking a deep breath, he pushed the blanket off him and sat up with his feet on the floor. ”Yes, mother?”
”You're not going out today?” she asked, sitting on the sofa in his room.
”I don't feel like it.”
”What about your food? Aren't you hungry?”
”I'm not.”
She tapped her finger at the tray of food and then approached her son. Without another word, her hand reached for his left ear and started to twist it mercilessly.
”Aww... mother!” He tried to push her hand away but she refused to let it go. In fact, she used another hand to twitch another ear. ”Mom!”
Mia lifted up her head when she heard the scream. No doubt big brother's ears were being pulled and twisted by mother. She shook her head and continued helping untying her mother's work. Then, she put it aside for her own knitting project. She planned to knit a scarf for the boy she has a crush on.
Hmm... she needed more yarn balls for it just in case mother ruined her sweater.
She chose a dark green yarn ball for the scarf and started to knit it while waiting for his mother to return. Once she started, she ignored everything else.
Moving on to what was happening in Harry's room...
Mrs Si had finally let her son's ears go. She sat back on the sofa and crossed her arms.
”Are you going to act childish until your father returns from his project?”
”I am not acting childish. I just need time for myself.”
”Time for yourself?” she scoffed. ”Time for yourself or just sulking? From what I'm seeing, you're just acting childish. Not going out. Not eating your meals. Staying in your room.”
”Mother, please.”
She looked at him silently. Her eyes narrowed. ”Are you mooning over a girl?”
His face turned red immediately. He quickly lied back on the bed and pulled the blanket to cover himself, trying to hide himself.
Ahh... her innocent son was in love. Now she understood what was going on.
