My mom in another world is a bit too controlling!?

"Good girl, good girl~ Come on, slow down, there's still plenty more~"

Holding a bowl of hot cream soup in one hand, Ruby smiled and gently fed the soup into the little mouth with a spoon.

He was crying loudly for his mother just moments ago, but as soon as the delicious food was served, the little guy immediately quieted down.

She stopped struggling and crying, her eyes filled with longing for food, though her eyes were still brimming with tears and her mouth was pursed. She looked so pitiful yet funny.

The little guy was really upset that his mother wasn't around, but he hadn't eaten all day, so of course he couldn't resist the temptation of food; it was instinct... especially his favorite sweet cream soup.

Despite his fear, he stopped crying, lowered his guard, and opened his mouth to the food without hesitation...

"Mmm~ So cute! The way she opens and closes her little mouth to eat when she's quiet is so adorable~"

With a sweet, aunt-like smile, Ruby sighed as she took the opportunity, and just as the little guy had taken a sip, she suddenly raised her free hand to his head.

I wanted to touch it, but I hesitated and didn't dare to. The reason, of course, was that I was afraid that after finally calming her down, I would just touch her and make her cry again...

"..."

While she hesitated, a pair of teary eyes suddenly looked at her, and she belatedly realized that she had forgotten to continue feeding him! She quickly picked up the spoon again.

"Haha...! Little cutie, I'm so sorry, this is, this is~" (laughs apologetically).

Ruby quickly finished the bowl of soup, but the little one still stared longingly at it, her big eyes blinking, clearly not satisfied.

"There aren't any left, um... my little cutie..."

Ruby's heart ached at being stared at by those pitiful, "I want more" eyes. She couldn't care less; she had to find some more food!

"Be a good girl here, and I'll bring you more delicious food right away~"

"You must be good and not make a sound!!"

Stern instructions only resulted in the little one's aggrieved expression, looking like he was about to cry if he didn't get what he wanted.

"Oh dear! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you...! I'll go find it right away, okay? Don't cry!"

Before leaving, a hand suddenly but without seeming abruptly gently stroked the little head; there was no crying...

"Great!!" He withdrew his hand, secretly pleased, and then excitedly ran out of the hut to find food.

"Lulu? What are you doing here...?!"

"Huh? Ah...! Winter, Brother Winter!"

Ruby sneaked into the kitchen to ask the chef to help prepare food for the little one, but unexpectedly, Winter also suddenly appeared in the kitchen. Ruby was so frightened that she trembled and turned her head away shakily.

"What are you doing in the kitchen? And why didn't you bring lunch? It's been a long time since Mother cooked..."

"Ah...? I, I... I just didn't have an appetite at noon today, so I..."

"No appetite?" Ruby looked up and down suspiciously.

"Then why are you in the kitchen again? Didn't you say you weren't there...?"

"I prepared this for the kittens!!"

She hurriedly explained, while the chef prepared the food she ordered.

"Alright! Anyway, don't worry about me, I need to hurry back to find the kittens!"

Perhaps thinking of the kidnapping relationship between Winter and the little one, or perhaps afraid of being discovered, Ruby couldn't bear to face it any longer and fled the kitchen the moment she picked up the food.

"Hmm...? Lulu still likes those little things so much~?"

Watching her hurried departure, Winter had no doubt whatsoever; his little sister was just too adorable, so fond of anything fluffy.

"I'm here! My little cutie is back!"

Carrying the food, she carefully entered the house, looked around to make sure no one was there before closing the door, and then excitedly ran back to her bedside.

On the bed, the little one was still in the same spot, quiet and not crying or making a fuss. His eyes, which were originally brimming with tears, were still moist, but he was much better than before.

"Oh my god! My little cutie, you actually waited for me patiently! That's amazing!!"

Ruby's love was practically overflowing, yet she had to control herself. She wanted to hold him tightly but couldn't forcefully, afraid that her excitement would make him feel insecure and cause him to cry.

"Come on! Egg and milk custard, it's guaranteed to be delicious with its creamy and sweet flavor!"

I fed the little one a small piece of the sweet and soft steamed egg custard, and he really liked it, his big eyes shining brightly.

"Mmm! I'm glad you like it!"

He finished the steamed egg custard quickly this time as well, but the difference was that this time he was finally satisfied and no longer showed any "wanting" look in his eyes.

"..."

The room was quiet. Even though there was no food, the little guy stopped crying. After what had just happened, he was no longer as wary and afraid. Simply put, he could feel a sense of security from the little girl, so he didn't cry.

Ruby was quiet, but only on the surface. In reality, she was already restless and thinking about how to successfully hug this "soft and cute little cake" in front of her.

His little expression was a bit blank, and it was hard to tell what was going on in his head. Was he curious? Scared? Or missing his mother... No, he was thinking about his mother the whole time.

"Little cutie... what are you thinking about...?"

Ruby murmured a question, unsure of the little cub's mood. Would it suddenly cry again? She didn't know, but regardless, she had to act now; she had to be completely accepted!

"Okay, I'm going to approach slowly, very slowly, and I must stop immediately if I show even the slightest resistance. I can't mess this up..."

She approached at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, and then, for some reason, the little guy suddenly turned his head towards her and then rushed into her arms.

"Huh! What's going on?? I didn't see wrong, did I?! She actually took the initiative...!"

"Ugh...I want it...!"

A childish voice reached Ruby's ears, but she couldn't make it out clearly. It sounded like she wanted something, but what exactly was it...?

I don't know, but the little one in my arms made another move immediately afterward, it was...

The little head was buried in my arms, and the hands seemed to be flailing about. What was it... looking for?

That's right! Ruby knew it; the little guy was looking for something on her! She roughly knew what he was looking for—he was definitely looking for the little jar of milk from before!

"I know! Sweetie, you want milk, right?! No problem, I'll go get it for you right now!"

She picked up the little one who was nestled close to her and started looking in the pantry. A bottle of milk was quickly taken out.

"Okay! I'll open it for you!"

The bottle was opened, but... when the milk was brought to the little one's lips, he just pushed it away! Then he rubbed against me, completely bewildered.

"Huh? It's not milk? Then what do you want...?"

"Mommy, Mommy...!"

Mom? Am I imagining myself as Mom again? No… I miss Mom? Yes, but that doesn’t seem right either…?

Pressed tightly against my chest... um...

"I know! You want this!!"

Ruby suddenly realized what the little guy wanted!

It's not milk, and it's not his mother, because he knows he can't have his mother, so he settles for the next best thing: the familiar feeling of his mother!

Thinking of this, Ruby quickly hugged the little one tightly, and then used her power on her chest to provide healing warmth.

"I think I called out 'Mom' during my first treatment. It turns out that the warmth of being held in someone's arms during the treatment reminded you of your mother!"

As expected, a familiar warm current flowed into her body, and the little guy immediately calmed down, clinging tightly to Ruby.

"Ugh... Mom~"
