“You should probably leave that to your dad. He’s the one getting married, after all.”
“My dad isn’t interested in any of them.”
“How do you know?”
“I ask for his opinion on each woman, and his assessment is always the same.”
“What is it?”
Julian cleared his throat and imitated Theodore’s voice: “Don’t know her. No comment.”
Penelope could just picture Theodore saying that, utterly dismissive and indifferent.
“His ‘no comment’ means he can’t even be bothered to form an opinion, which means he has zero interest in her! And sure enough, not long after, he stops all contact with them,” Julian sighed.
“So, do you want him to get married or not?”
“Of course I do.”
“I thought you didn’t want a stepmom.”
“I definitely don’t want a stepmom, but my dad is so young and handsome. It would be a shame if he stayed a bachelor his whole life, wouldn’t it?”
“I wouldn’t go that far…”
“Furthermore, humans form pair bonds. It’s consistent with biological evolution. I don’t want my father to become an evolutionary outlier.”
Penelope chuckled. This kid’s perspective was truly one-of-a-kind.
It turned out the school had arranged for them to stay overnight at a local farmhouse, with another day of activities before returning home.
“Why didn’t you tell me we were staying overnight?” Penelope asked Julian.
Julian’s eyes darted sideways. “Didn’t I?”
“You did this on purpose!”
“It’s just one night. Is that a problem?”
Penelope sighed. “I didn’t pack anything! A change of clothes, pajamas, toiletries… not even my own sheets. I hate sleeping on other people’s bedding.”
