S3| 46. Daddy Comes Home

“Mommy, what time is it? Why isn’t Daddy home yet?” the boy who was lying on the sofa grumbled. His head was left dangling, while his legs were lifted onto the backrest.

Emily’s lips immediately pursed. “Be patient, Louis. Soon, Daddy will be home. I’m sure he will successfully complete the mission.”

With a sluggish expression, Louis reached for the tablet on his right side. “I told you, I should have come along. If I had helped, the mission would have been completed more quickly. I have often trained as a secret agent or spy.”

Kara chuckled at the mumble. Susan, who was knitting, smiled too.

“What can you do?” the grandmother asked, amused.

“I can sneak into Grandma Melanie’s room and help Ava sedate Gerald. It’s easy.”

“Do you know where Grandma Melanie is being held?” Emily raised

her eyebrows.

Louis blinked twice. “I can look for it!”

“Then, if you get caught? Sophia will be angry because she knows Daddy didn’t come alone.”

Louis’ eyelids dropped halfway. “Uncle Jeremy is a lot bigger than me, but he can sneak around. Why not me? I won’t get caught.”

“Stop bluffing, Louis. You better help me massage Mommy. Doctor Wela said, pregnant women need a massage.”

“Why don’t you just borrow Grandma’s massage chair? That’s more practical. Grandma will definitely allow it. Right, Grandma?”

Emily let out a long chuckle. “You don’t know how to be filial, do you?”

Hearing that sarcasm, Louis’ cheeks puffed up. “Okay, I’ll help, but after I check this out.”

Louis rolled over, sitting cross-legged. “There’s no news about

Sophia’s arrest yet. Is Daddy having difficulty carrying out his mission?”

Kara sighed with a smile. “Even though Daddy has succeeded, you won’t find news like that on the internet. Daddy asked the police to keep it a secret.”

The twins widened their eyes. Even Susan looked up from her thread. ” Why?”
