"Shush, Kiara. Your sister is still sleeping!" Wesley whispered, before handing the gifts to her.
Kiara pouted and accepted the gifts.
"Rose and Irene are sleeping?" Avery whispered.
Wesley nodded.
"Let's talk outside, then!" Avery did not want to wake them. Had she known that Irene was asleep, she would not hurry to Wesley's house with Elliot.
"They won't wake up!" Kiara muttered. "They just fell asleep. They went outside to watch the sunrise on their own and didn't call me along! I'm so mad at them!"
Shea tapped Kiara on the shoulder. "Rose can take you the next time. There's nothing to be mad about."
"Oh... So they went to see the sunrise... They sure know how to have fun!" Avery chuckled and sat down on the couch.
Shea noticed that Elliot's shirt was drenched and said, "Big Brother, why don't you take a shower? You can change into Wesley's clothes."
"Elliot, go shower! Since we are already here, I'm sure that you would want to stay." Avery felt much calmer.
"Yeah, I'll take a shower, then." Seeing that his wife was guarding the entrance, he knew that Irene would not be able to run.
Kiara went to sit down next to Avery after Elliot left and complained, "we said that we were all going to see the sunrise as a family last night, but those two excluded me..."
"They didn't want you to skip your beauty sleep! Look at you, you look so pretty because you got enough sleep!" Avery caressed Kiara's cheek. "We bought gifts for you and your sister. Since your sister isn't awake yet, you get to pick first!"
"Alright. You don't think I should be mad, do you?"
"So long as it's not raining, you still have plenty of chances to see the sunrise, so naturally, there's no reason to be angry."
Kiara had been upset and locked herself in her room for a while. Wesley and Shea tried everything they could, but she did not budge, while Avery calmed her down with ease.
"Are you hungry, Avery? Do you need something to eat?" Wesley asked.
"It's fine!" Avery grabbed a pack of snacks from the coffee table. "I will just have some snacks and fruits."
