Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 7 She Had No Choice but to Make the First Move

When Galatea arrived home, Mia had prepared a feast awaiting her, and Harry and Elisa greeted her with particularly good behavior.

"To celebrate Mom's first day on the job, Mia made lots of yummy dishes, and we helped too!" Elisa's eyes crinkled into crescents, her shallow dimples making her cherubic face even more endearing. "It's been a tough first day at work. Go wash up, and let's eat," Mia offered with a warm, welcoming smile.

Galatea forced a weary smile despite her growing discomfort at the scene before her, nodding in agreement to preserve the mood. "Sure."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was cozy as the four of them began their meal.

"Mom, are there handsome and wealthy bachelor doctors at the hospital?" Elisa was particularly interested in the subject.

"If there are, Elisa and I could help you scout for one," Harry chimed in teasingly.

"All you care about is stuff like that," Galatea scolded lightly, tapping Harry on the head, and continued, "Starting tomorrow, you two are going to practice the piano every day until school starts." Both kids pouted, deeply dismayed by the announcement.

"Mom, we're not really into piano," Harry protested.

"Yeah, Mom, we're not exactly rolling in dough, so let's not waste the money," Elisa added.

Galatea fell silent. She had always struggled to persuade her two children.

"Seriously, Mom, didn't you come back here to find us a dad?" Elisa inquired, leaning in closer.

"I've already told you before, you don't have a father."

She had been legally married to that man, but she'd never met him - he had been in a coma for three years by then, and now another six had passed.
