That night, when Rosalie returned from the research institute, she saw the three little ones pouting their lips in displeasure.
Especially Estelle, who looked angry as she said, “Mommy, you promised to take me to the design exhibition, but you were too busy! In the end, it was Daddy who took me there."
“Estie, please don’t be mad at Mommy. Mommy was busy at work. She's a miracle doctor with such a big research institute to manage. It’s hard not to be busy with so much work.”
“Yeah, Sis. We can ask Mommy to compensate us by taking us somewhere else the next time, okay?”
Both the boys were explaining on Rosalie’s behalf and coaxing Estelle.
Rosalie felt bad. She squatted and apologized to Estelle.
“It’s my fault. I forgot the deal I had with you. It’s a terrible mistake. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
Her motive was to show a good example to her kids.
Estelle was only unhappy and did not expect Rosalie to apologize so seriously. She immediately shook her head and pounced into Rosalie’s embrace.
“It’s okay, Mommy. I've forgiven you. However, can you please let me know when you can’t go the next time? I got up early and got ready, but I couldn't find you,” Estelle felt wronged as she spoke out her feelings.
Rosalie immediately nodded and agreed. She kissed her cute daughter’s cheek and said, “It’s my fault for not considering your feelings. I’ll keep what you said today in mind. Why don’t I make it up to you by letting you request two things from me? I promise I'll do it.”
Estelle did not request rashly and asked for time to consider what she wanted.
Byron walked down the stairs after leaving his study. He took the initiative to explain to the kids why Rosalie had to work on this weekend.
