Chapter 459 There are two shadows

Alex says, “you weren’t here, so we ordered delivery ourselves. If you don’t like the food, we can go out
to eat.”

“OK!”

Miya readily agrees. At the same time she walks up to the table. After all, they can’t waste it. She’s not
picky now.

Of course, Miya does not forget to help Ben unload his schoolbag and let him sit on the table.

“Mommy, even if the dishes are not delicious, we won’t blame you!” Joey complains as soon as she
sees Miya coming.

Miya suddenly freezes. She frowns and looks at Joey and asks, “what are you talking about?”

Miya doesn’t seem to know what she did wrong. Joey decides to talk to her and make her realize her
mistake. “Mommy, you destroyed the ingredients. Why did you say that the servant didn’t buy food?”

“Is there anything in the fridge?”

Miya hasn’t cooked for a long time. Her stomach grows bigger and bigger. She suddenly wanted to
cook today, but she saw that the fridge was empty.

“Of course, ma’am.” The servant says, “I have always been upright. I will never steal the money.”

Miya thinks she doesn’t mean that!

“Maybe you are too tired. Anyway, we have ordered delivery. Forget it.” Alex holds Miya in his arms
again.

Miya is confused but nods, “maybe I was wrong. I’m sorry.”



The servant hears Miya’s apology and is immediately embarrassed. “It’s OK.”

All in all, the farce is over. The happy family will never think of a pair of eyes staring at them all the time
in the house where they have lived for a long time.

Miya is a little hungry at the moment, but the delivery guys haven’t come. When she sees there are
several dishes on the table that look good, she suddenly smiles, “there are dishes here. Why don’t you
eat?” She picks up the chopsticks and tastes them.

Alex pushes away Miya’s chopsticks in time to prevent Miya from eating.

“What are you doing?” Miya looks at the dishes and is confused. She’s really hungry.

Others listen to Miya and don’t understand. She cooked these dishes. Doesn’t she know they are not
good to eat?

Ben just came back so he is as confused as Miya.

Alex listens to Miya’s question and mistakenly thinks that she doesn’t know that her cooking is not
delicious. He can’t let Miya, who is so fond of cooking, lose faith, so he says, “there’s dust on them.
Now they are not clean.”

“All right.” Miya is disappointed.

Fortunately, the delivery guys come in time, and their disappointment doesn’t last long.

All the children except for Ben agree that Miya is weird, but they don’t know what is weird about Miya.

Ben is unhappy and seems to have something on his mind.

But no one cares about him. The children do their homework after dinner. Alex goes to the study to sort
out the data needed by the company, and Miya goes to Ben’s room with a snack.



Ben didn’t eat much just now, which is not good for his health.

Ben watches Miya come in and suddenly opens his eyes wide. He is a little stunned and inexplicably
frightened.

“Ben, what’s the matter with you?” Miya asks.

Ben looks at Miya and hesitates.

“What happened?” Miya asks again.

Ben shakes his head and says, “I just think there are many smart children in my class. They were lazy
but they work hard this time for the final exam. I’m afraid of my failure. I’m afraid if I don’t do well in the
exam, I have to stay in this class for another year.”

Miya is relieved and says, “don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Your brothers and sisters won’t
start second grade until next year.”

It’s true. Ben listens to Miya and smiles, “Mommy, you’re right. If I don’t do well, will you still be proud of
me?”

Miya raises her hand and rubs Ben’s head and says, “of course, you are all my pride.”

Ben feels warm. Then he looks down and does his homework. But he looks up at Miya frequently.

If he only looks up once, Miya will not mind, but Ben looks up too often.

“Ben, what’s the matter with you?” Miya asks.

Ben shakes his head and doesn’t speak. Then he lowers his head and does his homework.



Miya thinks it might be her delusion. After all, she saw that the fridge was empty.

“Do your homework carefully. Eat the snack first. Don’t go hungry.” Miya wants to leave.

But Ben stops her.

Miya turns around and asks, “what’s the matter?”

“Mommy, has something strange happened to you recently?” Ben suddenly becomes very serious.

Miya thinks about it carefully and shakes her head. “No, everything is normal recently. Why?”

“Nothing. Mommy, good night.” Ben says.

Miya nods, “good night!”

Miya leaves Ben’s room and closes his door. On her way back to the room, she feels someone staring
at her behind her. Miya is nervous.

The light in the hallway is always on, so even if the room is dark, it will be bright when the door is
opened.

Miya looks back abruptly. There is nothing in the empty corridor. She breaths a sigh of relief. She
shouldn’t be frightened by Ben’s question.

So Miya turns around and goes on walking. She thinks it is weird here.

Especially when she just comes to the stairway, there are two shadows in the light.
