The following day.
I couldn't sleep well because Atlas hadn't returned to the room all night, so I got up and went to Ava's room.
She had already gotten up and finished washing.
The moment she suddenly saw me, she exclaimed and rushed over, startling my mother so much that her face turned pale.
She quickly pulled Ava into her arms. "My little darling, you must be careful not to bump into mommy's belly! Mommy can't hold you now, you know?"
She blinked her big eyes and looked at my belly in confusion, appearing a bit aggrieved.
I quickly squatted down and hugged her. I explained, "Just be careful. The little brother inside is still tiny!"
"Oh! How small is he?" She asked incredulously.
I was speechless. How should I answer that question?
Fortunately, she asked eagerly again, "Mommy, did Daddy say our home is coming back?"
"Yes! It's coming back!" I said it proudly. "Your daddy is very powerful!"
"Really? When will you take me back?" Ava exclaimed excitedly.
"It's being renovated now. When the renovations are done, I'll take you to see." I promised.
"How long will that take?" Ava asked eagerly.
I smiled wryly and said, "It will take two months!"
I deliberately extended the time by a month. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if she got serious.
Ava hesitated momentarily, then asked, "Is it 60 days?"
I nodded. This girl was getting harder to fool.
She joyfully shouted to Jenny, "Jenny, we need to plan. We can go to Nocturnia with Mommy and Daddy in 60 days!"
They ran outside while holding hands and chatted nonstop. I looked at my mother and shrugged, sighing, "These two little beauties are grown up!"
