Byron answered every innocent question by the little ones.
Although he had thought through these questions, explaining them was not difficult, but he was emotionally weary after he finished.
It was harder for him to deceive them when facing their innocent little faces...
"Daddy, can we go find Mommy?"
Little Estie asked suddenly.
The little one had only known Rosalie for a short time, yet she was unwilling to leave her side for a single minute, let alone knowing that Rosalie had gone so far.
The expression on Byron's face turned slightly stiff, revealing a sad emotion.
In the end, he remained silent for a few seconds, held it together, and looked at the little girl as if nothing had happened.
"Daddy is also very busy these days. There is no way to take you there. Mommy would only be there for about a week. She will come back when you are on school holiday."
Then, he quickly looked away, pretending to concentrate on eating, for fear of being noticed by the little ones.
Fortunately, the little ones did not think too much. They were just a little disappointed.
"Why did Mommy have to go for so long? I hope that when we come back on Friday night, Mommy will be waiting for us at home..."
Byron's emotions, which he had held back with great difficulty, surged again. The pain was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
His Adam’s apple rolled a few times before he answered in a deep voice. "Yes, Mommy will be waiting for you at home when you come back."
The little ones only thought he was tired, so they settled down sensibly. They cut up the food on their plate and put it on his.
Byron's emotions became even heavier.
The meal was tasteless.
