Watching mother and child relate in the dining room, was a beautiful scene Jessy was such an active child and I could see why her previous sick state had deeply worried her mother. It was really nice to see that she was fully recuperated.
The younger girl turned her eyes to me since she was the one facing my direction and the wide smile that painted her lips also made me smile a little.
“Good Morning Mastah!” She called out cheerily and her child like voice was simply music to my ears.
I enjoyed having my meals alone, it allowed me the time to gather my thoughts and plot out my day in my head. It was also a really peaceful exercise where I could eat and not have to keep up conversation with anyone.
So, I wasn’t sure what I was thinking when I asked Jessy to join me for breakfast. All I knew was that the little girl intrigued me just like her mother and since she was less likely to cause me problems I decided to pick her
As we are, Jessy’s childlike nature reminded me about why children were such a beautiful gift and also why they were termed innocent.
Her entire face seemed to be sharing her meal with her along with her thumb but that seemed to be the least of her problems. She was enjoying her food and it seemed like it was all that mattered to her in the moment.
Jessy had been through a lot in her three years on earth. More than any child deserved to go through, and if I had been too late to getting to herself and Freya recently she would have been condemned to an abusive life with a pedophile.
All of that including the fact that she had fallen sick for so long wasn’t enough to dull the bright sparkle in her eyes. She could still smile so wide and act carefree.
I envied the child.
I was also surprised about how well organized she acted, she made minimal mess while she ate and was very coordinated.
I could smell Freya’s scent lingering in the air around us so it was obvious the mother was somewhere close, keeping an eye on her daughter.
“So Jessy, how old are you?” I began with small talk, I knew the answer to the question but it felt like a good conversation starter for myself and the younger girl.
Jessy still had a mouth full of food so she only stuck out three of her fingers towards me, refusing to talk with a mouth full which once again surprised me.
“Good Morning Master.” Zoe called from the door and I raised my head to acknowledge her, taking a sip of water before addressing her.
“Morning Zoe.” I responded watching her with careful eyes.
Her eyes held a certain emotion that I couldn’t read from my position and once again I wondered when my head maid had begun to hold on to so much inside that she couldn’t help when they became evident in her eyes.
“Beta Smith is here to see you.” She delivered and I nodded my head in approval, dismissing her with the action.
I moved the last piece of pancake from my plate onto Jessy’s and the younger girl gave me a smile of gratitude. I ruffled her hair in acknowledgment before getting up from the table to exit the room.
The three years old gave me a big wave and I couldn’t help but return the action, smiling to myself when she reacted excitedly at my response.

Chapter 36
Sharing a meal with someone wasn’t as bad as I remembered it to be.
Especially when it was a three year old that did not have a lot to shy and simply wanted to enjoy their meal in peace.
