At night, in the master bedroom of a villa in Riverside Garden.
Nathan was cupping Penny's face as he kissed her red lips.
With reddened cheeks, Penny closed her eyes and hummed. Despite her embarrassment, she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Nathan's neck.
In the beginning, the two were careful and inexperienced. Soon, they found their pace and started kissing passionately.
Just as Nathan was about to make another move, he heard his daughter's voice.
"Papa, Mama, what are you doing?”
Both Nathan and Penny were stunned.
They turned around to find that their daughter, who was supposed to be asleep, was rubbing her eyes and staring at them in a daze.
Nathan and Penny jerked away from each other very quickly like they were the same ends of two magnets.
Penny's face remained red as Nathan coaxed their daughter, "Papa and Mama were hugging each other."
Abruptly, Queenie uttered, "No. You're kissing. That's how couples on TV kiss."
Upon hearing her words, Nathan was unsure how to react.
On the other hand, Penny's blush darkened as she reprimanded, "You're a kid. Why are you watching TV? You're not allowed to watch the TV for the following week."
"Huh?"
Queenie pursed her lips as tears brimmed in her eyes.
The next day was a weekend.
Sean sent someone to invite Nathan and his family to the family home, stating that there were matters to be discussed.
When Nathan and his family heard the news, they were stunned.
All of them had similar thoughts. What does Sean want to discuss?
Despite their suspicion, Nathan and the rest of the family came to the Smiths' family home.
As there were honored guests in the family home today, the place was bustling with activity.
Sean led Samuel, Paul, and the others as they welcomed the guests.
