Under Brian's deep gaze, Molly nodded by instinct. He had always been able to make her feel safe. However, when they reached home, they realized that having a good night's sleep might not be possible right away. They heard painful whining from within the house before they even opened the door.
Looking at each other tacitly, Brian and Molly opened the door and walked into the house silently. The living room was a big mess.
Vincent was lying on his stomach, while little Evelyn was sitting on his back. She pulled his collar with her little hands and questioned him angrily. But her words were all in a mess and she spoke illogically. It was difficult to understand what she was saying, even for her parents.
Meanwhile, Charlie was watching the scene from the sofa. Serving as his sister's interpreter, he said, "Evelyn is asking who that woman is."
The expression on Vincent's face indicated that he was begging for their mercy. He looked like he was about to break down. Of course, he was only pretending to butter up to the little devil on his back. "I really don't know. Even if I knew, I couldn't tell— Ouch!"
he let out another fake scream when Evelyn raised her hips and then sat back again abruptly on his back. With a self-satisfied look on her face, she said complacently, "I will keep crushing you until you tell me!"
A small smile flashed across Vincent's eyes as he said, "Miss Evelyn, I really don't know." As he played with the little angel, he thought, 'Mr. Brian Long is so lucky to have such a lovely daughter.'
After listening in to the conversation between the twins and Vincent, Brian and Molly had a rough understanding of what was going on. As their eyes met, both of them smiled helplessly at each other. Vincent had always been a cruel and bloodthirsty man in everyone's eyes. But now, he was willing to be bullied by Evelyn, and he even seemed to be enjoying it. It was a happy surprise.
At that moment, Vincent's eyes fell on Brian and Molly, who were standing at the door. When he looked at them, the envy and jealousy in his eyes could no longer be hidden. The couple smiled at his situation.
"Vincent, if you envy me so much, why don't you find a good woman and have a baby with her?"
The twins' eyes shone at the voice that came from the entrance. Immediately, Evelyn jumped off Vincent's back and ran into Brian's embrace. In contrast, Charlie was a bit shy. He just stood up from the sofa and greeted them.
"Dad, why are you so late?" Evelyn asked, pouting. Her big eyes looked quite unsatisfied with him.
"Since you know that it's late, why aren't you in bed yet?" Molly asked, raising her eyebrow at her little girl. Although she refused to admit it, she was so jealous of her own daughter because the little devil always liked clinging onto Brian. Pointing towards Vincent, who was already off the floor, she asked Evelyn in a grouchy tone, "Why are you bullying Vincent?"
