Molly’s arms were both trapped by them. She glanced at the room upstairs, looking helpless. It left her
no choice but to compromise. “Okay then! All three of you are the same. When can I ever stop worrying
about you guys?”
She turned around and went down the stairs after saying that.
The two little ones put on a smile, and their tiny cheeks bulged. They were relieved after seeing that
their mommy had given up on interrupting their brother. They only let her go by then.
So, Molly went to have some tea with his grandfather in the yard, and they played chess together.
Grandpa Dave laughed as he said, “Just let them do whatever they want for occasionally. Alex is a
smart kid. I’m sure that he won’t do anything silly.” Molly knew better than everybody else that Alex was
the one that worried her the least, so she nodded and agreed.

After some time, Grandpa Dave got sleepy, and his tiredness could be seen on his face. “Let’s end the
game here for today. I need to go to bed now.” He held his knees and stood up from the wicker chair as
he said that before walking toward his room.
Dale followed closely behind him. Molly kept everything, and she prepared to go for a shower too. She
took her clothes and went into the bathroom.
Pop! She heard a pop sound as soon as she removed all her clothes. Her surroundings went into

walked out of her room in the dark. She shouted, “Alex, Ben, Claudia!”
Three of them ran to her immediately and said, “Mommy, we have no idea why, but the house lost
power suddenly.”
Alex chimed in, “I looked out the window and found out we’re the only house experiencing a blackout.
“Mommy, I’m scared.” Claudia hugged her legs and said adorably.
Molly’s eyes were still struggling to adjust themselves to the sudden darkness. After some time, she
can finally see the three little one’s silhouettes with the help of light from outside the window. She
hugged three of them into their arms and said, “It’s okay. Mommy’s here. I’ll go have a look if we’re just
tripping.”
She calmed herself down very quickly.
“No, Mommy! I found out that this mansion was controlled by a computer system when we moved in.
I’m sure that something went wrong. Why don’t we go next door and ask for Uncle Sean’s help?” Alex
