Chapter 34
Logan had lived for 31 years, but this was his first time eating such a cheap pudding. He couldn’t believe Lorraine was complaining about. how the price had doubled. She even asked him, “Is it good?”
What could he say? He nodded.
“Let’s eat these in the future whenever we get cravings for ice cream. Those are much too expensive these days,” she said.
Logan rubbed Finnegan’s head before saying, “We don’t have to scrimp on food, you know. It’s either we go without it or we go for the best.”
That was how Lorraine had been in the past, but now that she knew how costly it was for the children to go to kindergarten, she wanted to be frugal. It was the only way they’d be able to afford to raise the
twins.
“Anyway, it’s fine to have ice cream once in a while. They’re still young, so we can’t let them have too much of these things. We don’t want to damage their stomachs,” Logan said.
In truth, he didn’t usually allow them to eat ice creams. They both looked up at him.
Smiling, Lorraine told them, “There we go. We’ll only occasionally have ice cream.”
Then, she leaned close to Logan and whispered, “We can buy it for ourselves once they’ve gone to kindergarten.”
That way, Finnegan and Luna would not want to have ice cream.
Logan laughed, thinking that he would buy ice cream whenever Lorraine craved one. That way, she would not be annoyed by the increase in price in the future.
Chapter 33
The four got into the car after finishing their puddings. This time, Logan said, “I’ll drive. You don’t know where the apartment is.”
“Alright.” She didn’t argue with him on this. It didn’t matter who drove, but since he was driving, she got into the backseat with the children.
They were overjoyed and chattered away. The sounds of their conversation and laughter filled the car. Logan couldn’t help smiling as he thought about how well Lorraine got along with the children. She had the potential to be a kindergarten teacher.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from Michael. When he answered, Michael asked in a small voice, “Is it convenient for you to speak now, Mr. Moore?”
Logan made a sound of agreement. Wasn’t it a bit late to ask whether it was convenient for him to speak when he’d already answered the call?
