( In the night around 12Pm to 1Am ,At the Ratanawong Mansion )
( In the dining area )
...Yot thought for a moment. Siri teased him, "So, if you don't want to end up being a salad addict like me, you'd better start eating your vegetables now!"
Yot's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly picked up his spoon, filled it with a spoonful of salad, and shoveled it into his mouth.
Siri smiled. "Good boy!"
Yot looked up at Siri, his eyes serious and curious. "Does that mean that if I start eating salad now, I won't have to eat it when I'm older?"
Siri smiled slyly. "Yes, but if you keep refusing to eat your vegetables, you might end up being a vegetable addict like me!"
Yot's eyes widened in alarm. "No, I don't want to be a vegetable addict!"
He picked up a spoon, packed a large amount of salad onto it, and put it in his mouth. He started chewing, looking determined.
Siri laughed. "You should eat a lot if you don't want to become a vegetable addict like me!"
Just then, Khun Yai walked into the room, wearing her pyjamas. She yelled out, "What's wrong? Is he still refusing to eat his vegetables?"
Yot and Siri turned to see her, and their eyes widened in surprise. They burst out laughing at the sight of Khun Yai's pyjamas.
Yot teased, "Wow, Khun Yai, you look so cute!"
Siri chimed in, "Yes, you're so adorable in your pyjamas!"
Khun Yai's face turned bright red as she looked embarrassed. She walked over to the dining table, trying to maintain her composure.
She looked at Yot's plate and saw that there were only a few leaves of salad left. "Are you still refusing to eat your salad?"
Yot smiled proudly. "No, I've already eaten it!"
Khun Yai looked at Siri, "Did he really eat it?"
Siri nodded, "Yes, he did."
Khun Yai raised an eyebrow, "Why are you lying, Siri? Be honest."
Siri replied, "I'm telling the truth, Khun Yai. He ate it."
Yot picked up another large serving of salad and started eating it. "See, I ate it!"
Khun Yai looked confused. "But...you really ate it?"
Yot nodded, "Yes, I did. And don't you know, Khun Yai, the more you hate salad when you're young, the more you'll like it when you're older."
Khun Yai looked thoughtful. She glanced at Siri, who winked at her.
Siri said, "If he doesn't want to become a vegetable addict like me, he should start eating vegetables now, right now."
Khun Yai's expression changed to understanding. She nodded, "Yes, it's true. I see what you mean."
Yot nodded, "I'll start eating vegetables now. I don't want to become a vegetable addict."
Khun Yai petted Yot's head, "Good job ",
As the meal Drew to a close,Khun Yai smiled warmly at Siri and Yot. "I'll go clean up in the kitchen. You two finish up here," she said, her voice soft and soothing.
With a final glance at Siri and Yot, Khun Yai headed into the kitchen, the sound of running water and clinking dishes soon filling the air.
The warm glow of the dinner table lamps seemed to lull Yot into a state of drowsiness. His eyelids began to droop, and his head nodded forward, as if pulled by an invisible string. He jerked himself awake, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. But it was no use – the sleepiness was too strong.
Siri noticed and asked, "Yot, are you sleepy?"
Yot shook his head, attempting to sound convincing. "No, I'm not " he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
Siri smiled knowingly. "Really? But your face is telling a different story, Yot."
Yot's gaze dropped, his eyes struggling to stay open. "I...I just want to wait for you to finish eating, P," he mumbled, his voice laced with a yawn.
Siri chuckled. "You don't need to wait for me to finish eating, Yot. I'm not a baby, and I can take care of myself " she calmly says to the reluctant Yot
" You're tired cause it's way passed your bedtime ." She continues calmly
Yot's face fell, his lower lip trembling as he looked down. Siri's expression softened, her voice gentle.
"Yot, you're already late for bed. If Mum were here, she wouldn't like it."
Yot's eyes widened, concern etched on his face as he looked up at Siri. Siri stood up, her eyes locked on Yot, a warm smile on her face.
"Come on, little bro. Why don't I carry you to your room ?"she said with a gentle smile on her face
Yot nodded enthusiastically, wrapping his arms around Siri's neck. Siri scooped him up, cradling him in her arms.....
