Volume 3 Chapter 3: Sweets!
"Hehe," Two childish giggles came from Keith's arms.
"Keith, aren't you tired?" Eric questioned.
"I'm alright," Keith replied. He held both Laura and Leon in his arms. The two little angels asked Keith to bring them to the dining room.
"So lucky," The three older brothers stared in envy at their little brother. The six arrived at the dining room. Sophia and William were there.
The two hadn't changed at all in these last years. They were still handsome and beautiful.
Sophia frowned, "Leon, Laura, did you ask your brother to carry you two again?" This had been happening for so long. The two would always ask Keith to carry him.
"It's fine, Mother. I can carry the two," Keith smiled as he placed Leon and Laura on their seats.
Sophia clutched her head, "Keith, you spoil the two too much,"
Out of everyone, Keith took care of the two the most. And the two were really clingy to their brother as well. It was like two koalas sticking onto him like glue.
"Haha," Keith scratched his head. I might be spoiling the two the most. But you guys do the same thing!
About everyone in the estate spoiled the two children! He just did it the most.
"What are we having today?" Keith questioned.
"We're having a seared steak with steamed vegetables on the side," Sophia answered.
"That's great," Keith clapped his hands together. Let's see if Gus improved on his dishes. As the years went by, Gus made his own dishes using vegetables and fruits.

"Ugh," But Leon and Laura thought differently. Their expressions frowned when they saw it.
"I guarantee this dish tastes good, you two," Keith laughed as he noticed the two children's expressions.
Sometimes, Gus's dishes were a swing and a miss.
The last time Gus let the two children have a taste test, it was horrible. That dish was a dud. That was why they didn't trust Gus anymore.
"Okay," Laura and Leon nodded. The dishes were brought in. Keith looked down at the seared steak. There were also steamed carrots and brussels sprouts.
Keith tasted the meat. A little dry. But it had good flavor. Gus seasoned the meat enough with salt and pepper. Once Keith was done,
"Mother, I'm going to check out the bakery,"
"Go ahead," Sophia smiled.
"I want to go too!" Leon and Laura stated.
"Finish your vegetables first," Sophia stared at the two plates. Everyone saw they had finished their steak. But not the vegetables.
"I don't wanna!" "Vegetables," The two children had knitted expressions. It seemed they weren't a fan of vegetables.
Keith scratched his head. I get it. The vegetables were brussels sprouts. Even coming to a new world, brussels sprouts were bitter. Fira had a weird expression as she was the one who grew it.
But she didn't like it one bit.
"You have to finish it if you want to go with your big brother," Sophia stated. She wasn't going to let them go.
"Ugh," Leon groaned as he finished the brussels sprouts. And Laura took a bite. The two continued to eat with a painful expression.
But they cleared their plate.
"Good job, you two," Keith clapped his hands once they cleared their plate.
"Can we go now, Mother?" Leon and Laura gave Sophiaa a cute face.
Sophia sighed, "Yes. You can go. But remember to listen to your brother."
"Okay!" The two children quickly dashed over to Keith.
"Let's go now!"
"Alright," The two children copied his movement. Like that, they were off.
And it didn't take long for them to arrive at the town. Well, it shouldn't be called a town now.
It was more like a city.
"Do you guys want to get some sweets first?" They had to have sweets after eating something savory.
"Yes!" The two children didn't hesitate to shout. Keith laughed. Like that, the two arrived at White Forest Bakery. It was still bustling as it was when it first opened.
When the people in the line saw him,
"It's the young master!"
"Hello, everyone," Keith greeted them.
"Do you want to enter the bakery first?" The usuals suggested.
Keith waved his hands, "There's no need to do that. We can wait," Keith smiled as he waited in line with the two.
And it didn't take long for them to enter. When they did, Ralph greeted, "Boss, good afternoon!"
"Good afternoon, Ralph,"
"Hello, Uncle Ralph!" Leon and Laura shouted.
"Hello to you too, Little Masters," Ralph smiled at them, "What can I get for the two of you?"
"Pudding!" The two shouted without a thought. Keith chuckled. He turned to Aria and Fira,
"Do you guys want the same?"
"Ho," "Yes!"
"Then five puddings,"
"Alright," Ralph laughed as he took out five pudding cups. Pudding was now an option at the bakery.
