NOVEL WEB Chapter 7.1
Chapter 7.1
Eric Smith has a 15-month-old son who had just started spouting words.
He was very happy to hear him saying, Mama and Papa. But…
“Maria….” He was about to cry now.
His son, Jack Smith, had been silent since morning, saying he would not eat anything.
It’s only been two days since he was alone with his son. Eric was embarrassed at first. It’s already been 30 minutes since he had a scuffle with his son. Eric regretted it.
‘Why didn’t I learn then?’
He could see my wife trying to feed me another spoon.
“Noooo!”
Sitting on the baby chair! Seeing his son hitting a small table with his hands, he felt like he was going to get sick.
Eric, who was playing with a small spoon as if they were airplanes, eventually took his phone out as the last resort, trying to feed him in all sorts of ways.
“I didn’t want to disturb you…….”
But he couldn’t help but want to feed his son.
<<Honey, Jack doesn’t eat: What should I do?>>
<<Jack has his favorite yogurt in the fridge. Feed it to him.>>
<<He is not eating it.>>
Park Maria, who was on a business trip in France, sighed when she saw her husband’s message.
“Two days….”
Her son was very grumpy. So she prepared a lot of Jack’s favorite foods in the refrigerator and thought it could work in these two days.
Before leaving, she stuffed a lot of sweets that she didn’t even feed to him in the refrigerator, but it didn’t work.
“Oh, my….”
She had to stay in Paris for three more days.
No, it could only be 3 days if things go well. But now.
“Manager! This hasn’t arrived yet!”
Someone screamed and shook the paper. Surprised by him, the head of the department jumped out of his seat and picked up the phone.
He pressed the number like lightning and waited for the other person to receive it. The manager shook his legs, showing his nervousness.
RING! RING!
~Honey…~
“Not, now. What if they still don’t send it? There’s not much time left, don’t you know that’s the most important thing?”
Maria swept her face with her hands at the sight of the head of the department shooting at her before the other person could speak.
“The arrival wouldn’t be able to make it within a week…….”
Park Maria sighed from the inside. Then she sent a message. The recipient was Eric Smith, her husband.
<<You know, it’s papa, right? ;)>>
<<Honey?!>>
“Maria? Maria?!”
Eric shook his smartphone. It was a cry that could not be heard, but Eric could not give up his last resort like this. He shouted hoping to hear it all the way to Paris, France.
“Maria!!”
“Noooo!
Eric fell on the table frustrated, while Jack kept hitting the table.
Tears welled up in Eric’s eyes.
Tears gathered in the baby’s eyes, too.
Eric saw Jack crying in tears.
Is he crying because he misses his mom or is he hungry?
“If you’re hungry, you can eat…….”
Eric held up a spoon. It was Jack’s favorite yogurt. Jack knew the sweetness of the white yogurt, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth. He shook his head.
Eric and Jack’s second game was about to begin.
-Ding dong!
The alarm went off.
Later, Eric told Maria that the notification sounded like a heavenly bell when she returned home from a 15-day business trip.
Now, of course, it was a useless alarm.
“What?”
He heard an alarm sound from the Pinepad on the table. It was a pinepad that Maria used before cooking or working at the table.
Looking at the screen, an alarm was displayed that one of the channels on Youtube that Maria subscribed to had been updated.
[LALA’S DAY-The latest images have been updated.]
It was a Youtuber that Maria sometimes referred to when making fusion dishes of Korean dishes
Eric agonized for a moment. Looking at the time, it was more than 50 minutes since he had a scuffle with his son.
“Okay, Jack. Son. A brief truce.”
Eric raised his hands. Jack poked his lips out and said to himself, Abu Abu.
He decided to watch a video to refresh himself for a while.
“This Youtuber said that her daughter is eating well these days…….”
What Maria said came to his mind.
It was the same Youtuber who was trying various ways through comments and broadcasts to feed babies from the perspective of raising babies together.
But these few days, Maria was jealous of the Youtuber’s daughter, who said she ate very well.
She bought powdered milk posted by Nutuber – sold only in Korea and barely arrived at their home by overseas delivery – and made baby food that she recommended, but it didn’t work for Jack.
“Why don’t you give me some tips on feeding my baby?”
Eric pressed the start button. Unlike usual, there was no advertisement.
“What? Two minutes?”
It was only a two-minute video. Eric, who was trying to take a breather for 30 minutes while watching the video, looked at the video with an ambiguous expression.
[Hello! This is Lara LALA!]
He thought it was a little weird, but Eric didn’t stop the video.
It was a stroke of luck.
Eric thought again that he was very lucky that the alarm went off then. And he thought watching the video was the next best thing to do after marrying Maria and having Jack.
[Today’s video is short. I’d like to recommend a YouTube channel.]
LALA said with a serious face on a shaky screen, “Was she recording with her hands?”
[My daughter is eating very well these days. You all know that, right?]
Eric nodded his head.
[Well, since I told you that, you would know it.]
LALA, who stopped talking for a while, and opened her mouth.
[Today I will be sharing the secret]
“What?”
Eric was surprised. Secret?
People around the world watching her video were also surprised.
LALA bowed her head. It was a face full of sorry.
[Actually, it’s true that my daughter eats milk powder and baby food well. But that wasn’t all about why my daughter became a good eater. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you the truth in the meantime.]
“No, what?”
After waiting hours for the new product to be stocked, the powdered milk that they had barely bought came to his mind. It was barely bought before it was sold out due to the small quantity already in stock.
Also, the ingredients that they bought to make baby food were piled up in the refrigerator. Eric looked at the refrigerator with an embarrassing look on his face.
