I can't see his expression. I can only see the ups and downs of his body when he sobs.
For a moment, I was speechless.
Cheryl stepped forward and said, "Master, let me have a try."
Then he approached Lundy carefully and reached out his hand to Lundy.
This time, Lundy didn't dodge anymore.
Cheryl gently picked him up and patted him on the back to comfort him. "Young Master, what's wrong? Tell me, did you get bullied by your classmates at school?"
The little guy just kept sobbing without any response.
"Is it because the twins didn't go to school?" I said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Lundy's eyes lit up and turned her head, sobbing.
I sighed. I didn't expect him to be so dependent on the two twins.
Or was it because the three kids had the same mother but different father that they got involved in this kind of relationship?
"I know. You don't want them to leave the kindergarten."
Lundy looked at me with an aggrieved look.
Seeing him like this, I had to compromise. "Daddy promised you not to drive them away."
The little guy still stared at me with his eyes full of accusations.
I understood what he meant. I said gently, "they didn't go to the kindergarten today. They just asked for a leave. The teacher hasn't told them about the dismissal."
Lundy blinked, sobbing less.
"There's no need for Dad to lie to you. They didn't go to the kindergarten today because they were not feeling well. You can see them tomorrow."
Lundy still pursed hIS lips, full of doubt on his face.
Seeing this, I have no choice but to ask, "how can you believe me?"
He hesitated for a while and asked Cheryl to put him down. He took out a small notebook and pen from the mess on the ground, sobbing and writing on it. The handwriting was crooked.
"Yes!"
I understand what he meant. He wanted to go to Aimee's house and confirm with them.
Lundy's mouth twitched and he was about to cry again. he clenched his notebook tightly.
Thinking of his crying just now, I had no choice but to press between my eyebrows and promised in a deep voice, "Okay, daddy will take you to see them now."
Lundy stopped and blinked to confirm.
I nodded.
He immediately turned around and packed up his backpack. Carrying his backpack, he walked up to me. Because he had cried too much just now, he was still sobbing slightly.
Seeing this little guy change his attitude so quickly, I felt even more helpless. I took him to look for Aimee.
Aimee's POV
I was having dinner with the two kids when the doorbell rang. I thought it was Daphne, so I went to open the door.
Seeing the person at the door, I was stunned.
"You... Lundy, are you here for Aviva and Cyrus?"
That's the only possibility I can think of.
At the door, Penn was standing there, with only a shirt on his upper body. His sleeves were rolled up slightly, and he was holding Lundy's hand.
Lundy raised hIS head. HIS eyes and nose were red, and he looked very aggrieved.
I looked at THEM, but they didn't seem to have any intention to speak. I was a little confused. I could only look down at Lundy. "Lundy, it's so late. What's the matter?"
Lundy pouted and nodded. Then he shook off his father's hand.
The next second, the tears in the little boy's eyes fell down again. He walked to me aggrievedly and stretched out his arms, wanting to hug me.
Seeing Lundy's expression, I was first stunned, and then my heart suddenly ached. Almost instinctively, I squatted down, held the little guy in my arms, and patted his back to comfort him.
The little guy held my clothes hem with both hands and sobbed sadly.
"Don't cry. Tell me what happened." I coaxed him lovingly.
Finally, Penn cleared his throat and said as if nothing had happened, "when we went to the kindergarten today, Lundy didn't see your two children. he thought they wouldn't go, so she went back home and cried all night. he wanted to confirm."
Hearing this, I sighed in my heart.
my tone was softer. "Don't cry. Brother and sister are not feeling well today. I asked for a day off for them. They will go to the kindergarten to play with you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Lundy slowly stopped sobbing and left my arms. he carefully poked hIS head into the room to look for Aviva and Cyrus.
Seeing the little boy's careful look, my heart softened. I touched his head and said, "do you want to play with your brother and sister? I'll take you to them."
Then i picked up Lundy with a smile and was about to walk inside when the little guy in my arms suddenly leaned back.
It suddenly occurred to me that there was a man standing at the door.
Thinking of this, I turned around and looked at the person at the door.
The night wind blew, and the Penn shirt was almost pressed against his body, looking at us expressionlessly.
It seemed that he was in a hurry to send Lundy here and forgot to put on his coat.
Because of the little guy in my arms, my heart softened a lot. I said indifferently, "Mr. Carter, come in and have a seat."
the man at the door lifted his feet.
"Brother and sister are having dinner. I'll take you there." I walked slowly to comfort Lundy.
In the dining room.
Aviva and Cyrus were enjoying their meal. When they saw us, they two were confused. "Why is my brother here?"
I put Lundy next to the two kids and said in a soft voice, "Lundy is worried about you since you didn't go to the kindergarten. talk to him."
As if to confirm my words, Lundy crossed his hands nervously on his trousers and stared at Aviva and Cyrus without blinking. His nose was red, looking like a doll.
"We didn't feel well this morning. We're fine now. Don't worry." Aviva said seriously.
Cyrus turned around and made a face at Lundy. " We just asked for a day off. "
Lundy smiled.
Penn's POV
I stood at the door of the restaurant not far away and saw the little guy finally laughing with complicated emotions in his eyes.
I didn't expect that after I coaxed him for so long, the effect can't be compared with the words of the three of them.
He stood there for a while and saw that Lundy was amused by the two kids. I lifted my foot to take him back.
We came here because Lundy wanted to confirm it. Now that he has confirmed it, it's time to go back.
As soon as I walked up to Lundy, i heard the baby's stomach growl.
Aimee frowned and asked, "haven't you had dinner yet?"
Lundy nodded.
Seeing this, Aimee turned to look at me with reproachful eyes.
I looked back expressionlessly and said, "I have persuaded him to stay in the room for a whole night. When he came back, he locked himself in the room and didn't eat or drink. I promised to bring him here, so he finally stopped making trouble. We haven't had dinner yet."
The little girl named Aviva looked at Lundy with concern. "We just started eating. Do you want to eat with us?"
Lundy's eyes lit up and nodded vigorously.
I hesitated for a few seconds and looked at Aimee. "If it's not troublesome, can you get him something to eat?"
"How about sitting between brother and sister?" Aimee suggested.
A big smile appeared on Lundy's face.
The two kids immediately moved their chairs aside to make room for Lundy.
I saw him sit between the two twins and frowned unconsciously.
They look like a family, while I look like an outsider.
Aimee turned to look at me.
When I met her gaze, I looked indifferent.
"What about you? Have you eaten?" Aimee asked as if nothing had happened.
I couldn't help but be stunned. I stared at her for a few seconds, then indifferently closed my eyes and said indifferently, "it doesn't matter. The dinner is ready at home. But Lundy likes to stay with these two children. Please have dinner with him. I'll wait in the living room for a while. I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he looked at the happy faces of the three kids and turned to go out.
" Lundy must be a little uneasy without you. If you don't mind, sit down and eat with us."
I stopped and looked back at Lundy's watery eyes. Then I saw that the bowls and chopsticks had been placed on the seats next to the four people. There was a strange look in my eyes.
Logically speaking, the four of them were indeed a family.
I didn't seem to fit in.
I thought so, but when I realized it, I had already sat at the table.
Perhaps it was because of my joining that the originally harmonious atmosphere became a little stagnant.
Aviva and Cyrus kept silent and lowered their heads to eat.
Lundy held the bowl and ate slowly.
