Chapter 755: Gain The Twins' Favor Chapter 755: Gain The Twins' Favor
Platt's POV:
I was practically toying with Luis and Polly.
Every time they made a guess, I would secretly move the object to the other side before showing them
my hands.
Once they had lost several times in a row, they got angry and disappointed.
Seeing them like this made me laugh.
Each time I was done laughing, I would put my hands behind my back again.
"So, left or right?"
"Right hand!"
Not to be fooled, Luis sensed that something was amiss.
A few seconds of contemplation later, he said, "No, I think it's in your left hand."
The next few times, after Polly gave her answer, Luis would say the opposite one.
Each round, one of them would win, and I was now on the losing end.
"Alright, that's enough."
I was starting to get bored, so I put the things in my hands down.
Continuing with the game meant I wouldn't win anymore."Uncle Platt, can we play a little longer? We're not done having fun!"
They clung to me with smiles on their faces, begging me to play with them.I guessed that Helen must
be too busy to play with them, so even a simple game like this would delight them to no end.I relented
to their requests.
Raising my hands in surrender, I said, "I really can't play anymore.
How about I treat you kids to ice cream instead? Helen, do you mind taking out the ice cream tub from
the fridge? It's on the bottom left side."
My legs couldn't move, so I had to tell Helen to do it.
Besides, the kids were grabbing my clothes and refusing to let go.
They were so riled up that it wouldn't be convenient for me to stand up.
Suddenly, Helen scolded them, "You've eaten way too much tonight.Don't eat anymore.It's time for us
to go home now."
novelbinHer words served to stifle the peaceful, lively atmosphere.
Luis and Polly lowered their heads, visibly dejected.I thought that Helen was being too strict to her kids,
but she was still their mother.
Since I was an outsider, I had no right to give her advice or say anything about the way she disciplined
her kids.
Still, seeing the look of disappointment on the kids’ faces broke my heart. ruffled their hair and
suggested, "Promise me that you'll eat more fruits and vegetables tomorrow.If you can keep your
promise, I'll convince your mother to reward you with some ice cream, okay?"Luis and Polly turned to Helen.Hope could be seen in their eyes.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHelen nodded in
agreement.
"Alright.If you can do it, I'll buy ice cream for you."
"Okay! We'll keep our promise!"
The twins perked up when they heard their mother agree.I found them really adorable.I had seen lots of
spoiled kids in my lifetime.
Whenever they couldn't get the toys they wanted, they would sit on the ground and throw a tantrum.
On the contrary, Luis and Polly were good kids.
Even though they were disappointed that their mother didn't allow them to eat ice cream, they were
sensible enough to listen to her.
They were so considerate that anyone would feel sorry for them.They didn't even have a father.
I had lived a happy childhood.My family doted on me, and I could get whatever I wanted.
For that reason, even though I just met these two kids, I really felt sorry for them.
As we were talking, it was getting dark.I figured it was time for them to leave, sol called my driver to
bring the car over.
Before sending them away, I said to Helen, "Helen, your kids are adorable.Do you mind letting me
spend more time with them? Besides, I can't go anywhere right now.Having them around would be a
great way to kill some time."
"Nice try!" Helen remarked, walking away with Luis and Polly.Helen's POV:
The next day, it was the Children's Day.
There was a parent-child event happening in the kindergarten.
It was the first time that my kids were attending the Children's Day event with other kids.I finish my
work at the law firm in advance to make time for the big day, which I would participate in with them all
day long.
While Luis and Polly were performing onstage, many of the parents praised them for their lovely
appearances and solemn performance.I felt both proud and delighted.I took out my phone to record
this momentous occasion.
Happily, I felt a lump in my throat and almost broke into tears.
If my mother were still alive, she'd love Luis and Polly just as much as I did.
Sadly, she passed away before she even had the chance of meeting them.
During the afternoon, a parent-child sports meeting ensued.I planned to take my kids to the competition
on my own, but I was really exhausted.
The other kids had both parents in the competition with them.
Several of the activities were tests of strength, which were more suited for men.
Luis and Polly cheered for me as much as they could, but I still lost.
At the awarding ceremony, they were looking at the family onstage with envious eyes.All of a sudden, I felt so sorry for them.
Ever since they were born, I rarely ever let myself get into a negative headspace.I had been trying
everything I could to look after them and make sure that I did everything well.I never thought that the
lack of a father would impact them negatively someday.
But during today's competition, all the other kids’ parents came.
Luis and Polly were the only ones who had only their mother around them, and it made them look
pitiful.
There were a few more games on schedule.I dared not relax, nor did I let myself be brought down by
negative emotions.I made up my mind to go all out and set a positive example for my dear children.
Just then, I heard a familiar voice coming from nearby.
The noisy playground quieted down, and everyone turned to the one shouting.
To my surprise, I found Platt on a wheelchair, holding a banner and shouting, "You can do it, Luis and
Polly!"
He was smiling brightly as he came over.His flamboyant appearance was in line with his personality.
"Uncle Platt!"
Luis and Polly approached him with bright smiles on their little faces.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
A smile appeared on his lips.
"I'm here to join the competition with you.What activity is happening right now?"Luis pointed at the balloons.
"It's time to shoot the balloons."
