q“Mommy, it was you who told Daddy the story?” The three children were surprised to find out that the supposedly terrifying story originated from Francesca. Then, they started laughing and praising their mother for it. “That's amazing, Mommy!”
“Yeah, Mommy! It's so awesome!”
Danrique tilted his head as he stared at the kids in disbelief. What on earth is going on? I instantly became the bad guy when I told them the story, but now that they found out that the story came from their mother, they're praising her for it?
Francesca patted the children on their heads before pecking them on the cheek. “If you'd like, I can tell you guys more stories like that tonight. My brain is packed full of interesting stories.”
Then, she turned to Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie. “Of course, you three are more than welcome to join us.”
“No, no, no. We're good. We're good.”
With faces as pale as a sheet, Jamie and Ellie immediately shook their heads and hands in response.
Meanwhile, Robbie was left utterly speechless by the bewildering turn of events.
“Mommy, we don't need any more stories. We just want to play the slide.”
Actually, Alpha and her siblings just wanted to praise their mother, but they had no intention of listening to more horror stories. In their eyes, their mother was the best mother on earth.
It did not matter what their mother did or was doing; they simply wanted to show support.
“Okay, we'll have fun together later. But now, you have to finish your dinner first. Your Aunt Charlotte has excellent cooking skills. The food she makes is way better than that in Erihal,” promised Francesca with a big smile as she filled the children's plates with dishes.
Looking at how happy Francesca and the girls were, Danrique thought that they had not been so happy when they were with him, and he did not know what he should do to be able to spend quality time with them in such a pleasant ambiance. For some reason, that felt like something impossible for him.

“Have some of these, guys. Here's one for Robbie, one for Jamie, and one for Ellie,” Charlotte served her children some grilled pork ribs.
“Thank you, Mommy. You should have some yourself.”
