My Husband and Son Chose the Neighbor's Leftovers Over Me,Now They're Begging Me to Come BackChapter 1

I found out by accident.

My son had been sneaking over to our new neighbor's apartment to eat her leftover food.

At first, I didn't make a scene. I just brought him home.

"Didn't Mommy make you dinner? I cooked all those dishes and you wouldn't touch a single one. You'd rather eat someone else's scraps? People are going to think I'm starving you."

"Don't ever do that again. Do you hear me?"

John Matthews threw a full-blown tantrum.

"I don't care! Aunt Nora Abbott's leftovers taste better than anything you make!"

Since talking to him clearly wasn't working, I gave him a spanking he wouldn't forget.

A few days later, he ran right back over there.

I told my husband to go get him.

Vincent Matthews walked out the door and didn't come back for ages.

So I went to the neighbor's apartment myself.

The moment I stepped inside, I saw the two of them sitting at Nora's dining table, shoveling down her leftovers like it was the best meal they'd ever had.

Vincent's chin was slick with grease. "Babe, no wonder Johnny won't eat your cooking. You're not even in the same league as Nora!"
