By the time Natasha returned home, a table full of food was waiting for her.
The moment she walked in, Denise threw herself forward. “Nat, you're home!”
Just when Natasha was expecting a big hug, Denise stopped in her tracks abruptly before scrutinizing the former with knitted brows. “Mommy, your outfit today is really ugly.”
Natasha was speechless.
No wonder my tastes has been improving by leaps and bounds. I have a fussy daughter who inspects every aspect of my life.
“No, it's not. I think she looks good!” Anthony joined them. From his perspective, his mommy was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Unexpectedly, Denise gave him a contemptuous look. “Clueless boys like you know nothing!”
Anthony was stumped.
“The problem is that I, too, feel that it looks good,” Benjamin added. “With her porcelain-white skin and long slender legs, she wouldn't be out of place as a movie star.
“You're both equally clueless,” Denise scoffed.
“All right now, your mommy is tired after a long day. Let's eat as we chat, shall we?” Terence suggested from behind them.
“Looks like Grandpa cares about me the most!” Just as she spoke, Natasha removed her heels and entered. “I'm going to wash my hands and get changed first.”
By the time she was ready, the children were already seated at the table, waiting for her.
In truth, all Natasha wanted was for them to grow up safe and healthy.
She walked over and sat down. “Let's eat.”
Terence threw Natasha a glance without saying a word.
“Mommy, how was work today? Was it tiring?” Anthony asked.
“It's all right. It's not that different compared to working overseas. Hence, it wasn't tiring,” Natasha answered.
“Mommy, are there any handsome guys in your office?”
Cognizant of what he was up to, Natasha shook her head. “No.”
“Looks like a big company such as yours can't even compare to our school.” Suddenly, Denise had an epiphany.
“Mommy, there's a new director of school affairs in our school who's young and handsome. In fact, he resembles Yohan Yamaguchi, the famous celebrity. Would you like to see him?”
Having heard the conversation, Terence instantly knew that the children were trying to find a partner for Natasha, who was open to the idea.
“Really? I should go and check him out one day.” “I've already asked about him. He only had one girlfriend before who married a foreigner and migrated overseas two years ago. Currently, he's still single and doesn't fool around.” Denise giggled. “On top of that, I've found out what he looks for in his partner, and you fulfill all his requirements. However, he has no expectations when it comes to looks, but I figure that you will definitely blow his mind.”
Benjamin stared at Denise. “No wonder you have been sticking to Mr. Lynch all day long.”
“Of course, I'm not like both of you who only know how to play.” Denise rolled her eyes at him.
Anthony pondered upon it. “Mr. Lynch is a wonderful person indeed. He's dashing, chivalrous, and has a kind heart.”
From Anthony's perspective, he had all the characteristics of a good man.
Having heard what they said, Natasha was intrigued. “In that case, I'll pick all of you up tomorrow and see this Mr. Lynch that all of you have such high praise for. Denise, you'll be in charge of leading him out tomorrow, understood?”
“Yes, madam!”
Watching how Natasha interacted with her children, Terence felt that it was unabashed yet amusing at the same time.
They are like a group of friends more than mother and children.
