Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 140~ A drink

Ryan and Lora arrived at their mansion, excited to tell their children the news.

"Mommy, Daddy, you're back!" As usual, the twins rushed to their parents for a hug.

"We have some good news to share with you," Ryan said as he picked up Ella who wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Really? What's the good news?" Ella excitedly asked. "Are we going on a vacation?"

Ryan chuckled as he held Ethan's hand with his free hand and led him to the living room before settling on the couch with the twins flanking his sides.

Lora followed and sat on the other side of Ethan. She reached over and booped Ella's nose, saying, "No silly."

A thought occurred to Ryan and he looked down at the twins and asked, "Do you want to go on a vacation with Mommy and Daddy?"

"Yes! We want to... you went the two of you last time. So this time, we should go as a family," Ella replied and Ryan nodded.

"No problem. We can go on a trip this weekend," he promised. He didn't know the future. But what he was sure of was the present and he was going to make sure every second counts.

"Yay! A family trip with Mommy and Daddy! Finally!" Ella said and got down from her seat, running somewhere quickly before returning with a piece of paper.

She showed it to her parents and said, "Look, I already drew us on a family trip."

Ryan took the paper and saw that Ella had drawn two tall figures, two short ones and one that looked like a round cat with a small head.

"Wow, nice, Ella. Is this a cat? Do you want a cat?" Ryan asked, pointing at the round image.

Ella laughed and answered, "No, Daddy. You're so silly. This is our baby sister."
