Nicole crawled over to her brother and held his little hands. She then dragged him out of her mother's arms and pulled him closer to her.
But when she was about to play with him, Nicole accidentally plopped on Harry's ankle.
Drowsy, Harry woke up when he felt his aching ankle.
He looked at his cute daughter, who was now apologizing. "Daddy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." But she didn't look sorry. She then softly pinched her brother's cheek.
... Harry looked at his daughter with a forced smile. Since he now had already woken up, he sat up in bed, and said, "Come now. Daddy will get you washed."
When Lola woke up, she found that only she and her two cute babies were in the bedroom. The two babies were stretching their legs.
Then Harry opened the door; he had just returned from Nicole's kindergarten.
"Honey, you're awake," said Harry. He gently kissed her red lips.
Lola looked at him, and asked, "Did you drive Nicole to school?" She was holding Sally in her arms and smoothing out her clothes.
Harry sat down next to her and enjoyed the ordinary, but happy, moment.
When Lola was just about to go to the bathroom to wash herself, she suddenly turned around, and asked, "Are you going to the office later?" Harry was playing with the babies, and so it seemed that he wasn't.
"It's not a busy office day, and Joey can handle it. I have to take a day off from time to time." Harry was dandling his daughter while speaking to Lola.
"A day off from time to time? Lately, you've been taking a lot of days off. Especially when I was in A Country, when you there by plane. All right. We'll talk about it later," thought Lola. She then said, "Let's go to the supermarket today." This was what she was really implying.
Harry watched her entering the bathroom and thought about her idea for a while; he had already guessed what his stubborn wife was up to.
He picked up his phone and called the St. Deya Shopping Mall's boss. He lowered his voice on the phone, and demanded, "Remove all the durian fruits from the shelves today..."
When Lola walked out of the bathroom, she found that there was no one left in the bedroom.
It was about 10 AM, and she had just started eating her breakfast.
After finishing her breakfast, Lola and Mrs. Du took the two babies and went to the supermarket.
At the St. Deya Shopping Mall
Harry parked the car in the parking lot while Lola looked at the shopping mall outside. She said, "Harry, let's go to another mall."
"I remember I saw somewhere a nice coat that I wanted to buy for Nicole," she thought.
When he heard her, Harry's heart sank. He replied immediately, "Honey, this mall is more than OK. Besides, we are here already, and it's also ours." Harry never cared about such trivialities, and he also felt uncomfortable himself at what he had just said.
Lola cast a confused look at him, and said, "All right!"
"We can go to that other mall next time," she thought.
Harry got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took the baby stroller out of it.
He then put the babies in it. The good-looking couple with the cute twins in the baby stroller attracted a lot of admiring glances.
When they entered the supermarket, Lola, as Harry expected, walked around the fruit aisle, seeming to look for something. Harry sauntered after her, wheeling the baby stroller along.
He received a lot of admiring and envious looks from the crowd. They were whispering, "Look, baby twins. They're so cute!"
"Yes, they are. Oh my god! It's a baby boy and a baby girl, right? The man wheeling the stroller is also really handsome!"
"Ah! He looks like Harry Si!" Harry could be easily recognized even when his face was half covered by sunglasses because of his astonishing good looks.
