Alice thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Juliet, I really didn't lie to you this time. It will take some time for me to go back. I have a job here."
"Alas!" Juliet pouted her pink and tender lips in anger. She was extremely disappointed. "Mom, I scored a hundred in my test. Grandma said that I often scored 100% so she doesn't even need to praise me anymore. Isn't 100% a good thing?"
"Haha..." Alice was amused. "It's your fault for being so smart. Your grandma is not praising you everyday because it's getting boring, but if you get 99% next time, she will definitely have something to say."
"No, I really don't understand what you adults are thinking about day after day. Isn't getting full marks good?"
"Good, it's very good. You, my daughter, are the best!" Alice couldn't wait to go back and touch her daughter's little face. She was so cute.
What was the point of crying over that b*stard? Back then, she really should have taken him to court so as not to make herself sad.
"Where's your brother?" Alice didn't see her son. She always felt that her son was off causing trouble again.
Juliet shifted the video over. At that moment, Marlon was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and watching TV. He was holding a potato chip in his hand and eating with relish. He looked like a playboy, mischievous and lazy.
His facial features resembled his father's. Seeing this familiar face, Alice felt sad again.
"Mom, good night!" After saying hello, Marlon looked at the TV again.
She asked, "Marlon, are you done with your homework?" Her son was always naughty, which made her worried.
"I'm done. Mom, when have I ever worried you about my homework? Juliet scored 100%. Didn't I also score 100%?" He pouted arrogantly.
He looked exactly like Henrick when he was a child.
When she first met Henrick, she was only one year older than the children were now.
"You should sit properly. Look at you. What do you look like?" Alice looked at her son and scolded him softly.
"Mom, can we come and find you during the holidays?" Juliet asked with a smile. They would have five days off. She missed her mother so much.
Marlon suddenly looked at his mother with hope.
Alice thought for a while. At that time, she should be very busy. Even if the children came, she would only be able to see them for a short while.
She looked at her daughter and son apologetically. Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, she really couldn't bear to say it out loud. However, lying to them would make them even more upset.
"Juliet."
"Alice, just let the children go. I will send them there. They will be very happy to see you even if it's for a short while."
Aubri glanced at the dejected Marlon and whispered, "Don't think that he doesn't care. He misses you so much. Every time he comes home after school, he would go to your room and almost cry."
Alice felt sad.
"Mom, bring them here. I'll try my best to spend some time with all of you." With her mother following them, she was relieved.
Aubri took a deep look at her daughter and at Marlon. In fact, no matter how her daughter hid it, they all knew the reason.
How could a mother not know what her daughter was thinking?
"Well, work hard, eat well, and get enough rest. Don't worry about other things. I will take good care of them." Aubri looked at her daughter and smiled dotingly.
Alice looked at her mother and almost burst into tears. When she found out that she was pregnant, she almost didn't think much of it, so she decided to give birth to the babies.
The Clarke family was a well-known aristocratic family in Lemmon City, but she would be laughed at by many people if they knew that she was pregnant out of wedlock.
However, when she told her parents about her decision, they only scolded her. It was not just because she was pregnant, but because she was still young and had to bear these hardships. Her parents loved her dearly.
