“Daddy! See how do I look?” Lena, who was always the first to greet me when I stepped into our hous came running into my awaiting arms.
“You are looking like a real princess, Lenny.” I praised her.
It was a baby pink frilled dress and with braids, she looked like a little fairy.
“Thank you, Daddy.” She kissed my cheek.
Lucas was sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand. His behaviour was odd. He had been avoiding to talk normally with us. Tessa said we should give him some time but I had a strong intuition that something was definitely wrong with him.
“Lena, can you go and tell your Mamma that I am here.” I put her down.
“Okay, Daddy.” She ran away towards Tessa’s room and I made my way to my son.
“Are you studying, buddy?” I placed my hand on his shoulder.
“No, Dad. I found this book interesting so I am reading it.” He replied, again brief words followed by silence.
“Lucas, is there anything that you want to tell me or your Mom? We love you so much and we’ll always be there for you.” I said softly.

kay, if you are saying but always remember that your Mom and I love you so much.” I patted his head nd made my way to greet my wife.
When I entered the room, the sight caught my breath. Tessa was ready in a bodycon gown which hugged her curves perfectly. She wasn’t thin but perfect. Her long hairs were combed straight, minimal makeup had enhanced her beauty.
“I must pay double to the makeup artist who didn’t filter my wife’s natural beauty. You look stunning, Tessa.” I complimented her and she craned her neck to glance at me.
“Thank you, Mr. Wilferd but you are late.” She gave me a pointed look.
“Give me only thirty minutes. Moreover, you will outshine me and your husband is born handsome.” I kissed her palm instead of kissing her forehead or lips. I didn’t want to ruin her makeup.
“Well, that’s true. My husband is ver
