Brian did not know whether he should thank Winnie for her help or blame his hesitation.
He really wanted to tell Winnie that he didn't come here because of the children, but because he missed her. But why didn’t he do that, why made her misunderstand?
Brian said nothing, seeing that the two children had dinner happily.
“Daddy, do you have time to see me participate the competition?”
Luke asked.
“How many days will it take?”
Brian only knew that the competition was postponed, but not how many days it was postponed.
“Two days' delay plus three days of competition.”
Luke calculated the time.
“Ok, I have time.”
Brian gave him the answer with certainty.
Before he came here, he had handed over all the work to Albert. If there was something he couldn't handle, video conference would be fine. So he had three days.
“Great, Daddy, since you have three days, let's go out to play for two days.”
“Good, good, I agree with brother's idea. Let’s go out and play, go to Disneyland, maybe go to the beach.”
Megan said with excitement. In order not to let two children disappointed, Brian readily agreed.
“We can go wherever you want to go.”
Brian was in good mood and gave a smile seeing that the children were happy.
At this time, Winnie found that Brian's smile could be so bright.
When they returned to the hotel after dinner, she realized a problem: How would they sleep in one room or did Brian have another room?
It was late. Why didn’t Brian go back to his room?
This problem had troubled Winnie for a while, and finally she could not help it and asked.
“Both the children sleep with me, and you...”
Winnie did not put the words so straight forward, she believed that Brian could understand.
“I...”
As Brian was about to say that he was going to another room, Megan spoke to him.
“Daddy, sleep with us. We haven't slept together in ages.”
“Yes, the bed is large enough for four. We sleep together.”
Luke said so.
At this time, Megan was afraid of her father would leave, got up and sat in his arms.
“Daddy, you can't go. You said my brother and I had the final say for two days. You must sleep with us.”
Megan insisted. Luke came to Winnie and hugged Winnie sitting on the bed.
“Why don't you let Daddy sleep with us, Mommy? We haven't been together for a long time. I miss having Mommy and Daddy sleeping next to us.”
The two children insisted and Winnie had to agree.
“We'll sleep together, the four of us.”
Winnie said reluctantly.
As this was told, would Brian think she was scheming and had her plan.
Alas, Winnie was crazy. She was afraid that Brian looked at her as such a woman, but also she could not escape the suspicion.
Winnie allowed leaving Brian, but she was distressed. It seemed that after being apart for a long time, she was not used to being together.
After washing the two children, Winnie asked Brian to take a bath so he could sleep first and she would feel better.
Brian did as Winnie said, but after Winnie took a bath, she found the three people did not fall asleep lying on bed.
Winnie became nervous again.
She deliberately slowed everything down, dried her hair slowly and applied lotion slowly.
However, the three people played more and more happily and they were not sleepy at all.
“Go to sleep, raise enough spirit, and we go out to play tomorrow.”
Winnie urged.
“Mommy, go to bed and we sleep together.”
Luke said patting the empty position on bed.
“Mommy, hurry up. You are slow today. If we don't go to bed, we can’t get up tomorrow. If we get up late, we won't be able to go out to play.”
Megan also urged.
Winnie knew they were all waiting for her. If she didn't go to bed, they wouldn't go to bed that night.
So she went to bed and lay next to Luke. Then the lights were turned off and the room was dark except for the faint light from the moon.
“Daddy, Mommy, good night.”
Luke was sleepy and said good night.
