Chapter 1412

About ten minutes later, Tarquin came back with the kids.

He looked sharp as ever in his tailored suit, holding Baby in one arm and carrying her backpack in the other.

Baby had her hair in two cute pigtails, a bunny-shaped hair clip perched on her head. She was wearing a princess dress with white knee-high socks, and her shoes-limited-edition Mary Janes with little pearls were the envy of every little girl in her class.

Her big round eyes, chubby rosy cheeks, and fair skin made her the picture of adorable mischief-a classic cutie pie.

The four boys led the way in matching shirts and slacks, each with a lookalike backpack slung over their shoulders. Before they even got through the door, they were already calling out,

"Nana! Pops! We're home!"

"Hey, hey!" Clayton and Pamela came rushing out, beaming with joy.

Seeing their four handsome grandsons, the couple couldn't help themselves— hugging one, kissing another, laughing all the while.

Baby, still in Tarquin's arms, kicked her little legs excitedly and called out,

"Nana, Pops, I'm home too! Look, I'm right here!"

Clayton chuckled and hurried over.

"Of course Pops sees you, Baby! Come here, let me hold my little princess."

He scooped Baby up from Tarquin and spun her around, making her giggle with delight.
