Pausing briefly while she regarded Anthony, Natasha then nodded in affirmation. “Yes.”

There, she had confessed to it.

Regardless, the thought of keeping it from the children had never crossed her mind. In her own approach to childhood education, she could never allow herself to take advantage of their youthful ignorance to deceive them or lie to herself.

Natasha was fully committed to addressing whatever queries they might have, except that they had never broached the subject prior.

Nodding staidly, Anthony appeared to be quite unfazed by the answer he was given, to say the least. “Okay. Got it!”

“Isn’t there anything else you would like to say to me?” Natasha asked.

“Nope.” Anthony shook his head. All he sought was an answer, and the fact that he got one was satisfactory enough for him.

“Actually, I wouldn’t have kept it from all of you had any one of you had asked earlier,” said Natasha as she looked at Anthony.

“Nat.” At that moment, Anthony snuggled up close. “This answer isn’t going to change anything. You’re still my mommy who I love very, very much. I’ll never ever want to leave you!”

Being more accustomed to expressing himself through his actions most of the time, Anthony had seldom been so chatty, and much rarer still had he been so sweet.

Hearing such words come off his lips thus made Natasha feel especially moved.

“All right, then!” She nodded coolly as usual. “I’d be holding you to that.”

“Certainly.” Anthony nodded in affirmation.

“In the event he and I went to court over this…”

“I’d refuse to go with him even if he won, and I’d still come back even if he took me away. He might be able to stop me once or twice, but he can’t stop me forever.”

That led Natasha to burst out laughing. She then reached out her hand to pat him on the head. “Now, that’s my boy.”

“That’s why you needn’t worry about this lawsuit, Mommy. In any case, you can only come away a winner.”

“I believe so too.” Natasha concurred with a nod.

Anthony finally smiled as innocently as any child ought to in front of Natasha.
