Ever since Leo stepped into the room, Xander had begun to feel like a piece of furniture.
He wasn't simply being ignored.
He had practically become invisible.
"Mommy, eat more fruit," Leo said seriously, holding out another slice of apple. "Butler Rupert said fruits help you heal faster."
Ivy stared at the apple.
Then at Leo.
Then at the plate already overflowing with fruit.
She had eaten enough to feed a small family.
Her stomach was officially declaring war.
"Leo..."
She gave him a pleading look.
"Mommy is full."
"But you need to get better."
Leo's little brows furrowed with concern before he held the apple even closer to her lips.
"One more."
Ivy silently looked toward Xander.
Help me.
Her eyes practically screamed for rescue.
Xander, however, remained seated in the corner, calmly working on his laptop.
He didn't even look up.
This is for ignoring me.
Ivy's eyes widened.
Seriously?
