In the evening, the entire family went out merrily. Fifi spent the journey flaunting her singing abilities in the car.
Lately, Ellie had been conducting music lessons for Zachary in the evening while Fifi listened in nearby. Ironically, Fifi ended up learning every single song while Zachary didn't even learn one.
Ellie was listening to Fifi sing. She turned to Zachary and said, “Daddy, listen. Fifi's already learned the song I taught you last night.”
“Mm.” Zachary nodded. “Since Fifi enjoys your lessons so much, why don't you teach her then?” he suggested.
“No. Fifi can only listen in. Daddy's the official student.” Ellie wasn't so easily fooled. She pouted, sternly saying, “Daddy, don't you think about skipping lessons!”
“...” Zachary looked to Charlotte for help.
Charlotte let out a chuckle. Not only did she not come to his aid, but she also turned to Ellie and said, “Ellie's such a good teacher!”
“Ingrate!” Zachary pinched Charlotte's cheek and said.
“Thank you, Mommy!” Ellie smiled brilliantly, pouting her lips to kiss Charlotte.
“Mommy, I studied hard with Daddy too! My legs are healing as well,” Jamie chimed in, lifting his legs to show Charlotte, “I no longer need anyone's help. I can climb the stairs on my own now!”
“Awesome, Jamie!”
Seeing as Jamie's legs were recovering, Charlotte felt that she no longer had to worry about the children even if she had to leave.
“Mommy, are you feeling better?” Robbie was always especially sensible. Instead of wanting credit, he showed concern for his mother's condition instead.
“I'm much better,” Charlotte answered, caressing his little cheeks. “What about you? How are your lessons with Daddy?”
“I've gained a lot of knowledge. Daddy said he'll let me attend elementary school next semester,” Robbie said proudly. “I've already surpassed the kindergarten's curriculum.”
