The car pulled over in front of an ordinary restaurant.
Lunchtime was over already, so the restaurant was not crowded.
The waitress gave them a very warm welcome. "Sir, how about sitting there with your wife? It's also near to the children's play area."
Pearl froze when she heard the word of 'wife'. She tried to explain, "We aren't..."
"Lead the way." Richard seemed to be indifferent. Pearl could not be sure if he interrupted her deliberately or not.
Before Pearl turned to look at him again, he had headed to the dining area with Bonny in his arms.
They were seated next to the children's play area. There were slides and ball pits next to them. And their designs were very colorful and enticing.
Bonny sat next to Richard causally. She placed her chubby face on Richard's arm and looked at the menu he was holding. "Daddy, I want some fried chicken wings and fries."
"No." Pearl immediately turned Bonny down. Pearl caught a glimpse of Richard's frown, and she lowered her voice unconsciously, "You ate a lot of junk food this week. So you can't have more now."
She was a doctor, hence she didn't like to order the twins such junk food.
Bonny drew back her neck but still begged gently, "I want an ice cream."
"You can only have one each day."
"But I haven't eaten any today."
"But you ate two yesterday."
Hearing it, Bonny turned to Brandon angrily, "You betrayed me!"
Brandon looked up from the menu and said helplessly, "I didn't."
"Then how could Mommy know that I ate your ice-cream yesterday?"
After she saying that, something suddenly dawned on Bonny. She covered her mouth hastily with her hands and blinked nervously.
Pearl frowned. "You ate your brother's? So three in total! You're not allowed to eat ice cream tomorrow either."
Bonny just shot herself in the foot.
