Marry A Hidden Billionaire (Alice and Daniel) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28
Chapter 28
Daniel grew somber as he received a thorough scolding from Alice Doyle. He glared at Alice and howled loudly, “They are being too stubborn!”
“Even if they were stubborn, can’t you reason with them? Do you not know that using violence will affect them. psychologically?” Alice retorted.
“Spare the rod and spoil the child! Daniel exclaimed exasperatedly as he stared at his children.
The two children refused to look at Daniel and remained docile in Alice’s arms. The both of them blinked innocently at her.
Alice gave Daniel a look of disdain and brought the two children over to the sofa nearby. She comforted them gently and asked, “Come on, Honey Bun, Sugar Bun, tell mommy Alice, why were you causing so much trouble for Daddy?”
With one arm around Alice, Honey Bun choked up and said pitifully, “mommy’s bed is too big for us. It is scary when the three of us sleep together on it… We wanted to tell Daddy that we need someone to accompany us to sleep”
“You need someone to accompany you to sleep? That is not a problem,” Alice said while looking at Daniel. Her expression unequivocally revealed her displeasure with him for scolding the young children for such an innocent request.
“Ask them who they want to accompany them to bed,” Daniel said, somewhat helplessly.
“Why is this woman so clueless? Did she not realize that his two sons were manipulating the both of them?” Daniel thought.
“Children, do you want your Daddy to sleep with you?” Alice asked softly as she gently caressed both of their heads.
Both children shook their heads.
Honey Bun said, “Other kids have their Mummies and Daddies sleeping with them at night. We want mommy and Daddy sleeping with us too.”
Sugar Bun was more reserved in his request and said while hugging Alice’s arm, “We want Daddy and mommy to be together…”
Alice frowned. She and Daniel had a flash marriage without any emotional connections. It would be awkward to sleep together on the same bed.
Regardless, it was wrong of Daniel to flare his temper at the young children. He should have reasoned with them. She knew they would have listened.
Alice thought about it and patiently explained it to the two children. “Honey Bun, Sugar Bun… Although your Daddy and I got married, we are different from regular couples. Unfortunately, we cannot sleep together with you on the same bed. Please do not force us, okay?”
“Oh…” Honey Bun hung his head low as he started sobbing again inconsolably. He looked at Daniel and then at his younger brother as if he had to make a difficult decision.
“Then… let’s not sleep together. This is not the first time we have had trouble sleeping because Daddy and mommy were not sleeping with us.” Honey Bun muttered under his breath.
As he finished his sentence, Honey Bun subtly glanced at his younger brother and thought, “Sugar Bun, play along quickly!”.
Sugar Bun understood instantly and sighed loudly, “It’s okay. It doesn’t matter even if we are not feeling well!”
The pitiful look on the two children was too much for Alice to bear.
At that moment, a loud bang was heard in the master bedroom. Alice saw Sweet Bun crawling out with his eyes red. Sweet Bun exclaimed sorrowfully to his parents, “I’m so scared… Daddy and mommy, please accompany Sweet Bun to sleep on the bed, okay?”
That pleading f ook in Sweet Bun’s eyes tugged at Alice’s heartstrings even harder.
Alice immediately rushed over to pick Sweet Bun up and cooed gently, “My precious one, did you hurt your leg? Let Auntie Alice check if it is bleeding.”
Sweet Bun put his arms around Alice’s neck and cried while looking in his father’s direction. “I want Daddy and mommy to accompany me on the bed… then my wound won’t hurt!”
“My precious boy, don’t cry, don’t cry!” Alice comforted Sweet Bun as she gently patted his back. As she watched him trembling in her arms, her thoughts started to sway.
Seeing her stance softened, Honey Bun and Sugar Bun went forward and tugged at her pants, “mommy… stay with us on the bed, okay?”
Alice could not resist the pleas of these three children. She could only lift her head and silently mouthed to Daniel, “Let’s soothe them to sleep first, and then we can leave!”
