Natalie nodded in agreement. “That's not a bad idea. What do you guys think?”

She turned to look at the twins.

Naturally, the children were thrilled by the suggestion.

Sharon immediately shot her hand up into the air. “The aquarium! I want to go to the aquarium! I want to see the many, many giant whales!”

As an emphasis, she stretched her arms to the side when she said “many.”

However, Connor pressed down her arms and objected, “No. Let's go to the technopole! I want to see all the cool technology!”

“Aquarium.”

“Technology city.”

“Aquarium!”

“Technology city!”

The children broke out into an argument as to where they should go.


Seeing that the twins' faces were turning red in anger, Natalie and Shane quickly intervened and picked up one of the twins in their arms respectively.

“What's going on with the two of you?” Natalie's expression turned grim. “Why are you fighting?”

Shane frowned, “Haven't you two always been close with each other? What's going on?”

Sharon fiddled with her fingers. “I wanna go to the aquarium, but Connor wants to go to the technopole.”

On the other hand, Connor merely lowered his head in silence.

The guilt of arguing with his sister was starting to weigh him down.

Natalie sighed. “So you fought with your brother just because you two wanted to go to different places?”

In response to Natalie's reprimand, Sharon lowered her head in shame as well.

Just then, Connor clenched his fingers as though he was making up his mind. He raised his head and decided, “How about we don't go to the technopole? Let's go to the aquarium. I'm the older twin. I should let my younger sister have her way.”

“Connor...” Sharon looked at Connor, moved by his decision to back down.

To their surprise, Natalie furrowed her brows. “No.”

“Why not?” Connor and Sharon asked in unison as they turned to look at her.

Tossing Connor a tender look, Natalie smiled. “Connor, I know you're a good kid and that you know how to give way to your younger sister. However, that doesn't mean you should let your sister have her way all the time in all situations. You're not much older than Sharon. The two of you are the same age. You don't have to give up all your wants for her, understood?”

Shane flicked the children's foreheads lightly. “That's right. Even though the two of you disagree on where we should go, you still shouldn't argue but rather discuss it with us to come to a final decision. Mommy and I are spending time with you two today. Of course, we'll want the two of you to have as much fun as possible. So, Connor, there's no need to compromise what you want for Sharon. We'll bring you to all the places that you guys want to go.”

Shane and Natalie shared the same opinion. He did not think that the eldest must always let their younger siblings get their way. Instead, he merely believed that brothers should protect their younger sisters.

Therefore, in his opinion, Connor did not have to compromise by choosing to go to the place Sharon wanted to go to.

He had the right to insist on going to the place he wanted to visit.

As parents, Shane and Natalie had the ability to fulfill both of their wishes.
