And he even had to play the role of a mother on the side.
It was utterly heartbreaking.
"Young Master, please have some food. The silky chicken porridge has just been cooked, and it smells wonderful," Amu said as he placed the food tray on the coffee table to the left and lifted the lid of the soup bowl.
