Chapter 174 S2| War
Kara smiled at them. “You are so great, Little Angels. Not everyone has the courage to make difficult decisions.”
Emily spun around to face her. “We were inspired by Mommy. No matter what happens, we must remain good people.”
Louis nodded in support of his sister's statement. “Now, since we have finished discussing, it is time to execute our plan. Welcome back, Mommy, Daddy.” He handed a bouquet of flowers to his parents.
Not wanting to be left behind, Emily joined in holding the bouquet. “Welcome back, Mommy, Daddy.” She gave them her best smile.
Frank and Kara laughed softly.
“Thank you, Kids.”
"Thank you, Little Angels." Kara welcomed the flowers and hugged them. After that, Frank's arms wrapped around the three of them.
"Let's keep our palace safe," the man whispered.
"Yes."
As the twins bond with their parents, Susan and Philip exchanged glances. Their lips were curved, but their eyes gave off the same impression. Anxiety.
When lunch time arrived, the twins excitedly walked towards the dining room with Frank and Kara. Susan was waiting for them at the stairs.
“Grandma, are Uncle Jeremy and Mrs. Bell here yet?” Emily asked with sparkling eyes.
Susan shook her head weakly. "They have other, more important invitations."
While Emily pouted, Louis sighed in resignation. "Too bad. Maybe we should invite them over for dinner tonight.”
Emily nodded cheerfully. “Yeah, that's a great idea. But the menu will be different. They must be regretting missing lunch with us.”
Tightening her grip, Emily jumped down from the last step. Frank quickly matched her move. “You are so enthusiastic, Princess. Really, what's our lunch menu?"
"Our favorite menu, Daddy. There are sandwiches and chicken salad. The servants have managed to make it almost as delicious as what Mommy makes.”
"Is it true?" Kara let out a laugh.
"Yes!" Louis nodded enthusiastically. “We tested it yesterday. Now, let's hurry to the dining room, Mommy. My stomach is already growling.”
While Louis pulled Kara's hand, Emily followed, dragging Frank's hand. Susan and Philip laughed behind their backs.
Unfortunately, as they entered the dining room, their enthusiasm faded. Melanie had taken Kara's position, while Barbara had sat in Susan's chair.
“Grandma, Auntie! Why are you sitting there?”
Melanie's eyebrows pressed against her forehead. “This is my old chair.”
“And this is my new chair. I want to get closer to my brother." Barbara shrugged her shoulders, as if it were normal.
Louis and Emily's cheeks immediately puffed up. Before their anger erupted, Kara quickly calmed them down.
“Little Angels, do you remember? You guys also fought over wanting to sit near Daddy in the past. Your grandmother and aunt are the same. Moreover, they have been away from Daddy for a long time. Therefore, how about we give them a chance?”
The twins' faces grew sour. However, after one quick breath, they muttered, “Okay.”
"Good. You are indeed smart kids." Kara rubbed their cheeks as if to wipe away the anger from them.
However, as soon as the two toddlers climbed onto the chairs, their mouths opened wide again. The menu served was not only different from their requests, but also life-threatening. The dining table was full of seafood, including shrimp!
“What's wrong with your kids, Frank? They don't want to eat with us? Looks like you need to teach them well. Not everything they want can be fulfilled. They must learn to respect others. Poor Barbara. She's been working hard to think of ideas to improve this afternoon's menu.”
Louis' eyes narrowed. “I think it's not us who have to learn to respect the others, but you. You are old but you have no self-conscious," he grumbled.
While Frank massaged her temples, Melanie stared with her mouth wide open. The spoon she had just touched was placed back on the plate.
“Did I hear correctly? You call me old and have no self-conscious?”
“Yes,” Barbara nodded as she cut the shrimp on her plate, “she had the nerve to call Mommy that.”
A sigh escaped Melanie's mouth. She looked at Frank with a hurt expression. “Is our presence not welcomed here? Don't tell me you don't like eating with us either.”
“Stop making a big deal out of it, Mom. Louis and Emily are still young. They can't control their emotion completely."
“But this can't be allowed, Frank. Precisely because they are still young, you have to educate them harder. Don't let them grow up to be rebels who don't know any manners."
"Yes," Barbara continued lightly, "they are still young, but they already have the courage to fight back. I can’t imagine what they will do when they grow up."
Louis snorted quickly. He was really sick of facing those two witches.
"Emily, I want to monitor Mommy and Grandma in the kitchen. Do you want to come?"
Emily nodded. Without wasting any time, they slid down from their chairs and ran out of the dining room.
"Look! They dare to just leave when we are advising them. You need to evaluate the way you educate your children, Frank," Melanie urged.
Frank no longer answered. He was very tired. If he didn't have patience, he would also have left the dining table.
