"I knew you wouldn't go, and I didn't want to, so that's why I told him it wasn't necessary." Stanley returned.
Violet nodded, "That's good."
There was no telling what Henry was thinking, knowing that they all hated Ivy, how he could possibly go to Ivy's funeral?
Yet Henry still asked if they were going.
"Okay, watch TV." Stanley picked up the remote control and put the paused cartoon back on.
The family of four once again entered into a cozy family time until 10:00 p.m., when they went upstairs to their rooms to rest.
The next day, when Violet woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Stanley was no longer in the room, and she touched the spot where he had been lying, and there was still some residual warmth.
She guessed he hadn't been up for a while either.
Stretching out, Violet lifted the covers and got out of bed to wash up in the bathroom.
After washing up, she opened the door to her room and prepared to go downstairs.
As soon as the room opened, the two children stood in the doorway smiling at her, "Good morning, Mommy."
Violet was first startled by the two children, then smiled in surprise, "Why are you guys here? Are you here specifically to wake me up?"
Calvin nodded, "Yeah, Daddy sent us up to get you for breakfast."
Violet raised an eyebrow, "Daddy's still at home?"
"Yeah, dad's downstairs." Arya said.
Violet drifted off, "So that's how it is, since dad has called us for breakfast, let's go down."
She had thought Stanley had already left for work, but she hadn't expected to stay on a rare occasion and have breakfast with them.
After all, it was nine o'clock now, work time for the Murphy Group.
Violet came downstairs holding the two children, and Stanley was sitting on the sofa in the living room, still holding a financial magazine in his hand and flipping through it.
Hearing footsteps, he put down his magazine and turned his head to look, seeing the three coming down, a gentle smile instantly lifted up on his cool face, "You are up."
Violet nodded, "I thought you went to work."
"I don't need to go to the group today, I'm going to inspect the branch in J City, so I can go out later." Stanley said as he stood up.
Violet lifted her chin, "So that's how it is."
"Come on, let's go have breakfast first." Stanley walked over.
The two children glanced at each other before releasing Violet's hand in unison and pushing Violet into Stanley's arms.
Violet didn't expect the two children to do this, and for a moment, she didn't pay attention, and her entire body lunged towards Stanley in surprise.
Stanley raised an eyebrow, then caught her with a smile.
"Are you all right?" Stanley asked, wrapping his arm around her waist.
Violet shook her head and patted her chest, "Yes, I was just startled by these two kids."
With that, she turned her head and looked at the two children with feigned anger, "You two ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, the two children made faces at her in unison, then held hands and ran off towards the dining room, laughing.
Violet looked at the two little ones' backs and was amused, "These two kids, really."
"They are trying to make us have better affection." Stanley said as he looked down at her.
Violet shook her head helplessly, "I know, that's why I'm not really angry, if they suddenly did that for no reason, it would require education."
"I believe our children, they won't be the kind of child who is simply naughty." Stanley smiled, then removed the hand on her waist and took her hand instead, "Alright, let's go and eat first."
Violet smiled and nodded.
During breakfast, Bella suddenly walked over with Fraser.
Fraser stood in front of Stanley, "Good morning."
