My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 9

"Ow! Ow! It hurts! Let go, Mom!" Willow yelped in pain as she leaned into the hand that was latched onto her ear. Lara was terrified-she thought that the kids were missing.

Her lingering fear turned into unbridled rage before she lashed out at Willow.

"It hurts, huh?! Do you know just how worried I was?!" Lara's face was bright red as she screamed at Willow.

"Don't blame Mommy, Grandma. We went out on our own. We bumped into Mommy while we were out."

Tristan and Julian scooched under Lara's leg before raising their heads, pleading for their mother.

Lara scoffed and let go of Willow's ear, then looked down with a stern expression.

"You two better not do this again! If you do, I'll sit you in the corner for the rest of your lives!"

Julian slowly lowered his head and said weakly, "I got it, Grandma..."

The child looked adorable when he apologized, and the sight instantly moved Lara.

"And you?" she said fiercely to Tristan.

"I got it," Tristan replied despite the distant look on his face.

"Hmph! I'll forgive you two this time."

Lara grabbed some tissue and wiped the snot and tears off her face.

"I'll go make some food. You should rest, Mom," Willow said and hurried into the kitchen.

Her mother was right. It was good that nothing bad happened. If there was a next time, she probably wouldn't be so lucky as to bump into Tristan and Julian again.
