Natalie looked at him in shock. “How did you get that right?”
Connor chuckled. “I’m a smart boy. I’m now in the eleventh grade!”
“That’s my son!” Natalie grinned and pinched his nose.
Suddenly, Sharon remembered something important. “Mommy, am I going to become an older sister soon?”
“Yes. Are you happy?” Natalie lowered her head and looked at the little girl.
Sharon nodded repeatedly. “Yes! I’m going to be a big sister soon! Yay!” She started jumping with joy.
Natalie instantly asked Connor to stop Sharon from jumping as she was afraid she would trip and fall.
“All right, all right. Calm down. Let’s keep this a secret between us, okay? You can’t tell anyone else about it,” Natalie reminded the children.
Connor nodded and did not ask why.
But Sharon sucked her thumb and asked, “Why can’t we tell people about it? Not even Daddy?”
“Yes. We can’t tell Daddy about it too.” Natalie looked at her seriously.
“Okay, Mommy. I’ll not tell Daddy,” Sharon promised.
Natalie was pleased with the responses. She then held their hands and said, “All right! Let’s go home!”
The twins nodded in unison.
All of a sudden, Connor made a noise. He seemed to have noticed something in front.
“What’s wrong?” Natalie asked.
Connor pointed at the front and said, “That’s Joe. Look at those bullies! They’re following him again.”
Natalie turned and saw a few bullies tailing Joe. They were the exact few children who had beaten him up the other day.
Natalie creased her brows.
I’m sure those naughty boys are trying to bully him again.
Natalie decided to step in as she could not turn a blind eye to it.
