Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5316

“I can’t tarnish York Corporation’s brand.”

Chester pouted. Xavier could go on, spilling his tales.

Sinking his back into the seat, Chester ignored Xavier.

Half an hour into the drive, Chester rubbed his belly and said, “Callie, I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat here?”

“Why would there be food in the car? We didn’t bring any snacks with us.”

Callia said, “Dinner is hours away. How are you hungry already?”

“He’s hitting a growth spurt at his age. Hunger takes over quickly. I’m not surprised if he takes huge portions too. You’d be amazed at how much a teenage boy can put away. Trust me. I’ve been there.”

Back during his own puberty, Xavier had been a bottomless pit due to his active lifestyle and growth spurts. Even though his family was loaded and the fridge was always full, his parents used to stare at him at the dinner table as if he had not eaten in days.

Aware of his appetite, the family chef would prepare his favorites and extras, so he could dig in right after coming home from school.

His appetite leveled out once the phase had passed.

“Boys shoot up fast once they hit their teens. Hang in there, Chester. I’ll buy you something to eat at the airport.”

“I can manage a couple of sandwiches. Airport food isn’t nearly as good as Dad’s cooking. I’d rather steer clear.”

Chester was not picky with food, but having been fed meals that rivaled those of a five-star chef, he could not just dine anywhere.

He preferred not to eat out unless he was genuinely hungry.

“Don’t get anything. I bet Koben would bring his favorite snacks here. The family would not let him travel unless he traveled with his toys and snacks,” Callia said.
