Maya pouted unhappily when that still did not get her a response.
Juan and Kyle reached out to touch their father’s forehead, checking his temperature against their own. Strangely enough, he was still not waking up despite not having a fever.
Maya hummed in thought before saying, “If our ultimate move still doesn’t work then we’ll have to ask Mommy for help!”
“What ultimate move?”
The two boys stared at her, their gazes full of curiosity.
Maya hopped off the bed and ran out of the room. A few seconds later, she returned with two metal basins.
She handed one to each of her brothers. “You two hit these basins while I sing for Daddy!”
The young boys knitted their brows as they accepted the basin from her. Giving the basins an experimental bang, a loud clanging sound rang out.
The noise from the basins echoed in the room, causing Evan to frown.
These little brats! Are they trying to make a huge ruckus to wake me up?
Maya hurriedly crawled up to the bed again, this time plonking herself down on Evan’s body.
“Daddy, I’m going to sing a song for you, okay?”
With that said, she glanced at her brothers, who slammed their hands on the bottoms of the basins simultaneously.
Clearing her throat, she started to sing, “Daddy, Daddy, please wake up! Mommy’s made breakfast and is waiting for you! Tasty pizzas and fried chicken! Awoooo!”
She pitched her voice higher at the end, sounding as though she was a wolf, howling.
Amused, Evan could not help but open his eyes.
“Awoooo! Arf, arf, awooo! Daddy, you’re awake!”
Taking in their sister’s excitement, the two boys began to bang on their basins in delight. They were like a little percussion band.
“Alright, the three of you should go and eat first.”
Evan moved his somewhat rotund daughter off of him before he pinched her plump cheeks.
He had not expected her to learn how to howl like a wolf.
“Daddy, you have to wake up now!”
“I got it.”
The three kids had only just exited the master bedroom when there was a knock on the front door.
Bewildered, Nicole went to open the door.
A man whom she did not recognize stood there with a thunderous expression on his face.
