S2 83. Adults’ Thing

“I want to carry out my duties first. Bring your family together with Diana Johnson. After that,” Philip looked at Barbara warmly, “let’s get married.”

“Does it mean it’s still a few months away?” Louis said with drooping shoulders.

Emily on her side was also sluggish. “I think we’ll be partying soon.”

Frank cupped the twins’ cheeks and gave them a gentle rub. “Don’t worry. We can still have a party. Let’s celebrate Philip’s success and

also the success of our mission.”

Emily’s eyes widened again. “That’s a great idea, Daddy.”

“Yes, I agree too,” Louis gave thumbs up.

Kara smiled seeing her children’s happiness rising again. “Well than,” she commanded attention, “shall we start breakfast? There’s a

special menu for all of us.”

Seeing Kara turn around to take two big plates, the twins craned their

necks.

“Is it sandwich?”

“Chicken salad?”

Kara shook her head. While placing the plates on the table, she answered, “Philip’s favorite menu.”

“Oh, fried chicken, hash browns, and scrambled eggs!” Emily gave a small jump.

“That’s not bad. I like it too. But, does it mean we won’t eat vegetables for breakfast this time?” Louis tried hard to suppress a smile.

Squinting, Kara turned to grab another plate. “We can’t skip eating vegetables, Little Bee.”

While Louis pouted, Emily giggled. “You can’t cheat this time, Louis. If you keep giving me your vegetables, your skin will wrinkle.”

“I could drink a lot of water,” Louis grumbled.

“It won’t help if you don’t eat fiber,” Barbara pinched her nephew’s cheek, amused.

Louis chuckled. He didn’t expect Barbara to persuade him too. “Auntie sounds like Mommy. Is that a sign that she is ready to be a Mommy?”
