Miya is silent for a long time, ultimately she puts down the mobile phone, walking to bedroom for a
good sleep.
The children come back home after sunset.
Miya is setting the table.
Joey looks around and asks, “Mommy, where’s daddy?”
“Daddy is busy tonight. He won’t come back for dinner.” Miya makes herself laugh and pretends she’s
relax.
“Why he doesn’t come home again?” Joey frowns to show her dissatisfaction.
Miya’s face harden, but soon comes normal.
Ben tugs at Joey’s sleeves, hinting her not to talk nonsense.
Joey knows that she is wrong. She puts down her backpack and walks to toilet to wash hands.
“Mommy, don’t make yourself tired. We’ll come over for dinner after we washing our hands.”
There’s a grin on Andre’s face, then he takes Gogo to the toilet.
“Joey, how could you talk to mommy like that?” once all the kids get together, Ben closes the door,
starting to lecture his little sister.
Joey says with a pout, “Daddy doesn’t come back home again. Did our classmate told us that his
parents separated because his daddy seldom come home? ”
“But you can’t say that to her! Do you forget mommy’s attitude not long ago?” Ben reminds her.
They remember not long ago Miya blew hot and cold. No, it seemed that she often had a cold face but
then suddenly screamed, she had no difference with a psychopath.
Joey shivers inwardly at the thought of her horrible mommy. Fortunately, she becomes gentle again. To
prevent their mommy becoming panic again, they discussed in the future they will follow mommy’s will.
“Andre, do you know why daddy doesn’t come home recently?” Joey looks at the silent Andre, “You’ve
been living with daddy for the longest time among us. You should know why he doesn’t come home.”
Andre looks at Joey’s expected eyes, but he shakes his head, “I don’t know.” Originally, Alex hated him
so much, if it wasn’t the appearance of Miya, he would have been hated by Alex till now.
The children drops their heads down. Gogo looks at the other kids, sighing for a while, “It must be
because of my mommy.”
When they hear what Gogo says, they all lift up their heads and looks at him.
Gogo has been playing well with them, if it was not the sentence comes from his mouth, they would
have been treated him as one of their family members.
“Maybe my mommy came up to Antie Miya and tell her something.” Gogo speculates.
“Your mommy is vicious! She made her mad and she ran away from home last time.” Joey says without
any consideration. But when she sees Gogo face harden, she apologizes to him, “Sorry, I didn’t mean
it.”
“I’m fine.” Gogo says, “I have my mommy’s mobile phone number, maybe I can ask her what
happened.”
“It works.” Andre says, “We’ve stayed here for too long, mommy will become suspicious if we don’t go
out. Let’s go out as soon as we can!”
“Yep!” the kids nod their heads.
“Especially Joey, don’t say anything about daddy in front of mommy. At least you should wait till we
know well of the truth.”
Joey nods to make sure she will complete the mission.
Miya bends over the table, she’s out of spirit.
“Mommy, how do you feel?” Joey walks to Miya and rubs Miya’s face with her small hands.
Her daughter’s hands are small and soft, the touch on skin is healing.
“Nothing, mommy need to go out for a while, later I will ask Antie Lisa to come over. Will you be good
and stay at home?” Miya says with a loving smile on face.
But this smile is too mile, those smart kids feel something wrong with her.
“Mommy, what’ are you going to do?” Ben asks.
Miya smiles slyly, and says, “It’s a secrete.”
“Well, you have the dinner first, I need to prepare herself.” after saying that, Miya leaves the dinning
hall.
Watching the back of Miya, those kids crowd around soon.
“Do you know where mommy is going to?”
“Will she date with daddy?”
It sounds reasonable.
“Is it possible for their dating so daddy doesn’t come back?”
“It’s highly possible. They may think us in their way, so they want to spend some times for just two of
them.”
This assumption wins the recognition of most of them, so when Miya comes out from bedroom, she is
despised by the kids.
“What?” Miya is confused.
All the kids smile awkwardly and shake their heads, then turn around to go for dinner.
Miya sees every move of the children, a warm feeling comes from the bottom of her hear, she smiles.
Now she’s going to confirm the truth. If the truth is as simple as she thinks, she won’t be afraid of
anything in the rest of her life.
In half an hour, Lisa knocks the door.
“Miya, you finally remember your friend!” Lisa gives Miya a big hug once she gets inside, then she
steps back, touching Miya’s belly, saying, “Sorry baby, I was excited about seeing your mommy.”
Miya smiles, “If you keep doing this, the baby should hate you.”
“How come? A person as charming as I am, how would the kid not like? Don’t you think so, kids?” Lisa
shouts towards inside, but she is faced with the tease from children.
“Mommy’s friend is as narcissistic as her.” Ben sighs.
“Antie Lisa is cheeky.” Joey adds.
Before Andre can say anything, Lisa has glanced at him with her sharp eyes.
“I know Andre is the most politest. He won’t despise me like the two know-nothing kids.” Lisa grins with
a standard smirk.
Andre gets some food and passes it to Gogo’ bowl, “Let’s have our dinner.”
“But we just finished our dinner...” Gogo shows his confuse.
“I haven’t finished yet.” Andre demonstrates the genuine smile in front of Lisa, the smile with a touch of
spoiling in it, “Be good, eat more, we’re growing up.”
Lisa has met them for a long time, when she sees this she’s quite surprised.
“Miya, didn’t Andre always a cool boy? When did he turn to a warm boy?” maybe she wants to ask who
is the boy beside Andre.
“Antie Lisa really seldom come for free dinner recently.”
