"Liar, just admit that you didn’t want Auntie to be his first words,”
Evelyn chuckled to herself because Elena wasn’t wrong with what she said. “Fufufu ........ Maybe,.”
“Did you see that, Orion? Your mama is a big meanie, if you can say Auntie correctly, Auntie will take care of you forever instead of your bad mama,” Elena said cutely to Orion before sticking out her tongue at Evelyn.
“Fufufu, Orion is my baby, so Mama will never be a ‘meanie’ to him. Orion sweetie, you agree that a bad Auntie should never come between a mother and her child right?” Evelyn asked while rubbing her nose against his, then she rubbed her cheeks against his as well, causing Orion to giggle.
Taking his giggling as a reply to her question, Evelyn poked her tongue out in return at Elena while giggling with her cute little baby.
Elena rolled her eyes with a smile on her face as well after seeing the happy mother and son giggling at one another.
She sighed with a sad look on her face. “Auntie is so sad right now. How I wish I had a cute little baby by my side like O…”
Evelyn quickly interrupted Elena while she was talking. “Nice try, you bad Auntie, but my baby is mine,”
Elena clicked her tongue in disappointment.
She thought Evelyn would give Orion to her if she showed Evelyn her feeble side but her plan didn’t work.
Knowing this, Evelyn giggled to herself. “You see that baby, your Auntie is a cunning little elf, trying to steal you away from mama, good thing, mana sees through her deceit and that’s why mama won’t allow Auntie to play with herr baby again,”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because, you just arrived and you are yet to eat. Why don’t you have a shower first and get something to eat, then you can come back to play with me Orion,”
“Uh? Really?”
“Yes, now go and have a bath.”
“I guess I’ll go and have a shower now,” Elena sighed depressingly while looking at her sister with puppy dog eyes.
“Can I give him a......”
Evelyn quickly interrupted her from saying anything else.
“Shoo.... Shoo....stinky Auntie should go and take a shower,” Evelyn made a shooing gesture with her hand while telling Elena to leave her room and have a proper bath.
Meanwhile, Elena wasn’t bothered by what Evelyn said.
Actually, since it was the truth in the first place, there was no need for her to feel upset.
And besides, she was starving as well.
It was because she simply wanted to play with her cute little nephew, hence why she visited him first before getting herself something to eat, but now that Elena knew she could play with Orion after she’s done eating and having a bath, Elena couldn’t wait to spend more time with her nephew.
Elena smiled and waved goodbye to Orion while saying.
“Bye bye, Orion, Auntie will be back after taking a shower and eating lunch, and then we’ll play together till nightfall.” Elena immediately closed the door and walked straight to the bathroom to have her bath so that she could have more time to play with Orion after getting something to eat.
Seeing his Aunt leaving the room and closing the door behind her, Orion immediately waved goodbye to his Aunt while saying “Byy-byy Aan shi,”
Evelyn heard this and her eyes lit up in excitement. “Baby, you just said your first words,.”
“Now, try saying it again, but this time, say Ma,”
“Ma,” Orion said instantly, and Evelyn’s smile widened even more than before.
“That’s great sweetie, now let’s try another one. Try saying, mama.”
“Ma…”
“One more time baby, say Mama,”
“Ma…ma, Mama, Mama,”
“Yes, baby, you said it correctly. Mama is here for you sweetie,” Evelyn instantly kissed Orion on the cheek before practicing more words with him.
The two continued to practice and when she noticed that Orion was feeling hungry, she decided to feed him, and a few minutes later, Elena returned after eating and having a bath.
She played with Orion as promised and they practiced a few other words before Orion became too sleepy and tired to keep practicing.
Seeing this, Elena decided to call it a night as well and she returned to her room to sleep.
Meanwhile, Orion slept on his mother’s warm lap before waking up about two hours later to see his mother staring lovingly at him with a warm smile on her face.
‘How long has she been awake?’ He wondered.
He was still feeling sleepy but he couldn’t help but wonder how long his mother had been awake, staring at him while he was asleep.
“What’s wrong, dear?” Evelyn asked while caressing his chubby cheek.
“Sweetie, you need to rest more because your body will be undergoing some changes soon.”
‘Huh? Changes?’
‘What does she mean by changes?’
Orion mulled over what his mother meant by the changes she mentioned, but because he was too tired to stay awake, his eyelids became heavy and he slept off once again.
About five hours later, Orion woke up to see his mother now asleep by his side. He turned to his left to check if Elena was in the room as well, but she wasn’t.
‘Aunt Elena must be sleeping in her room again,’ He thought then returned his gaze to Evelyn but while he was looking at his beautiful mother, Orion suddenly noticed the system’s screen popping up in front of him.
