Sniffling, Jared Woods clung to Chelsea Raines's waist. "Mommy, please stop fighting! If Aunt Kenway gets mad, she won't make any more yummy food for me! I'm begging you, stop fighting! Let's go apologize to Aunt Kenway!"
Chelsea Raines looked down at him in disbelief. "You little show-off! Did Naomi Kenway brainwash you? Don't you realize Mommy is standing up for you? If we let her get away with this, she'll bully you relentlessly from now on! Were you really bought over with a single meal? Do I not cook for you at home? Look at yourself, so easily swayed!"
Chelsea Raines's chest heaved with anger. She couldn't believe that while she was trying to stand up for her son, he was siding with an outsider.
"But..." Jared Woods sniffled, crying miserably. "But your cooking... GACK..." He seemed to be crying so hard he couldn't catch his breath.
