Chapter 382
Sunshine and Felix were arguing in Esther’s arms.
“I’m a genius! You’re the stupid one!” Sunshine retorted.
“No, I’m the genius!” Felix stated.
Sunshine mocked him. “Nah-uh, you’re just a scaredy cat and a crybaby…”
Felix rebuked, “You… You’re a tigress!”
Esther quickly held them apart. “You’re both good children. Play nice, okay?”
Felix was the first to apologize. “I’m sorry, Sunshine.”
Sunshine followed suit. “No, I’m sorry, Felix. I shouldn’t have called you a scaredy cat.”
Sunshine hugged Felix tightly, and he hugged her back.
“We’re okay now, Mommy!”
“We’ve made up!”
Esther heaved a sigh of relief. She was terrified they might end up fighting for real. She was a new mother and didn’t know how to handle her children’s arguments.
She thought about how things would be when Pixie came back. She would have three children. to take care of. What if they fought? How would she make sure they all knew how much she loved them?
The sound of a car engine caused both children to look out the window. They saw a car driving up the driveway.
“Anna’s back!”
“Mommy! Anna’s home!”
Sunshine and Felix held hands as they rushed downstairs. Esther watched them with her heart in her throat, afraid they might fall. But they were both healthy now, and they ran around carefreely.
Esther wondered how Pixie was doing at her adoptive parents’ place. Was she being bullied? Would she want to leave them and come home?
Anna came into the house and saw the children running toward her. She smiled and opened her arms.
“Anna, give me a kiss!” Sunshine said.
She kissed Anna on the cheek, and Felix kissed her on the other cheek.
