Sonia touched her belly, a gentle smile curling her lips.
When Toby saw that, a thought raced through his mind. She doesn’t seem like she hates the baby. So why is she…
“Mommy!” Douglas broke Toby’s train of thought.
Douglas was swinging her arm again, while snitching on Toby. “Dad bullied me.”
Sonia snapped out of it and looked at Douglas. “What did M… Daddy do this time?” Whew, I nearly said the wrong thing!
“He pinched my face.” Douglas pointed at his face, but he looked at Toby smugly.
Toby’s face darkened. This brat…
“Let me take a look.” Sonia didn’t realize Douglas and Toby were fighting. Instead, she looked at Douglas’ face carefully. When she saw the red patch on it, she frowned. “Toby, Douglas is just a child. How could you do this?” She chided Toby while hugging Douglas.
That made Douglas grin, and he even shot Toby a provocative look.
Toby pursed his lips. What an annoying brat. And Sonia actually scolded me for that brat? Who does she think she is? His mother?
Before Toby could say anything, the woman from earlier said again, “You look like a happy family.”
Sonia was surprised. “Happy family?” Why does she think we’re a happy family?
Toby was curious as well.
The woman chuckled. “That’s how it is. The son and the father hate each other. When the father tries to do anything to the son, he’ll tell his mother, then the mother will scold the father. That’s what you guys were doing. Sure, it looks like an argument, but you guys are actually on good terms.”
“L… I see.” Sonia’s lips twitched again. She never thought the lady would think they
were a happy family. I just didn’t like it that Toby was picking on a child. Sonia’s annoyed look cheered Toby up, and he answered, “You flatter us, madam.” “Oh, it’s just the truth.” The madam waved him down. A moment later, the host-who was also the manager-came up to them. “The games are starting soon, everyone. Please take your seats.” He pointed at five numbered sofas not far from them. When Sonia looked down at the number on her waist, she realized the manager was asking them to take the seats according to their number.
