The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 979

Chapter 979

The expressions on the five children's faces stiffened.

Clayton was sitting the closest to Jerome, and the latter reached out to gently pat his head. “Didn't you say that you were all interested in escape rooms? Now that we've said we'll take you to one, why does it seem like you're not too happy about it?”

Although Jerome's comment dove into the heart of the matter, the children could not express their true thoughts and only plastered a smile on their faces.

“What? No way! We're ecstatic!”

“Yeah! We're super excited!”

“Mr. Sutton, can't you see that we're smiling?”

Once they finished their breakfast, Jerome and Natalie left the table first while Emma bustled off to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

All five adorable kids held their heads in their hands, fraught with worry.

Yumi frowned as she asked, “What's up with Mommy today? Why did she agree so readily?”

Franklin nodded in agreement. “I was wondering the same thing. It stands to reason that Mommy must have plenty to attend to after resolving the crisis involving Dream. However, she went and agreed to go to an escape room with Mr. Sutton! That's so strange!”

“Daddy hasn't spent time with Mommy in a long time. Recently, Mr. Sutton's the one who has been by Mommy's side. He's also very nice to us.”

It was Sophie who made that remark. After saying that, she proceeded to make a bold assumption.

“Do you think... Mommy has had a change of heart?”

As soon as she posed that question, they immediately became despondent.

It's over. Mommy has had a change of heart. Even if Daddy comes to his senses and returns, what's the point?

As they fretted over their parents' relationship, their faces became etched with sadness and anguish that did not befit their age.

When Emma returned to continue clearing the dining table, she saw the glum expressions on their faces.
