The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 941

After hearing their brother's words, the other four kids looked toward their mother simultaneously.

Sophia could feel her heart aching and said with her eyes glistening with tears, “Mommy has been so busy with work ever since we moved here. She hasn't taken a break at all.”

Franklin sighed. “Although our mommy seems like an extremely capable all-rounder, she is so bad at taking care of herself. Most importantly, where is Daddy? Is he really going to leave Mommy alone?”

Xavian shook his head and said, “I think Daddy definitely has his reasons for doing so! I know he loves Mommy very much.”

“All right, let's stop talking. Mommy is coming. If she hears us, she might be sad.” Yumi gestured for her siblings to keep quiet.

As they were all smart children, the five little ones stopped talking immediately.

After laying out all the breakfast dishes, Natalie sat down beside her children and ate together with them.

One of the dishes was grilled shrimps which Emma had prepared.

When Natalie was about to pick up her utensils, she discovered that there were already five deshelled shrimps on her plate.

The five children exchanged glances with each other as they retracted their hands, surprised that their siblings had thought of doing the same.

“All of you should stop peeling shrimps. Since I'm the eldest, I should be the one doing it!” Franklin said with a frown.

“No way!” Sophia objected at once. “So what if you're the oldest? She's also our mommy! I want to peel shrimps for Mommy too!”

Clayton nodded in agreement while saying, “Franklin, Sophia is right.”

Yumi pressed her lips together and added, “You're their big brother but not mine!”

While the other kids were arguing, Xavian had been quietly peeling shrimps. He had managed to peel a few more shrimps and had put them on Natalie's plate.

There's no point in arguing. The most important thing is that Mommy eats healthily and enjoys her food!

Natalie glanced at her plate, which was filled with deshelled shrimps, before looking at her kids, who all had different personalities and were still arguing. A surge of warmth suddenly filled her heart... This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Thank you, my sweethearts.” Natalie was smiling from ear to ear as she ate the food. “It's so delicious!”

When the five little ones heard that, they started peeling even more shrimps. Although they were well aware that something must have happened between their parents, they were just focused on cheering Natalie up.

After breakfast, Natalie left home for work while Emma sent the five children to their school bus.

On the bus, the siblings sat together and were all looking glum.

Resting her head on her hands, Yumi asked, “Should we think of a way to get Daddy to come to Mommy? For example... one of us can pretend to be sick so that Daddy will come and visit us?”

Her suggestion was rejected by the other four children at once.

“That won't work!” Sophia shook her head vigorously. “Yumi, have you forgotten that Mommy has exceptional medical skills? No matter how good we are at pretending, Mommy would be able to tell that we are lying at one glance!”
