"Daddy, don't you just love popstars?" Nadia said with awe.
"Get in the car. I will show you something," Charles said.
"Okay, Daddy!" Nadia's excitement grew exponentially. "Daddy, will you take us to a concert?"
"No..." Charles said coyly.
"Okay..." Nadia pouted. She was unhappy to learn that she would not be seeing a concert.
Charles opened the backseat for the children. Nancy, on the other hand, took the passenger seat. As soon as Charles sat at the driver's seat, Nancy whispered, "Where are we taking the children?"
"We'll go to the Museum of History," Charles whispered back.
"Oh, that's a great idea! I just thought..." Nancy pinched her eyebrows as she leaned against the Charles' seat. She wanted to say something but opted to stop her thought.
"People don't really seem to care about history nowadays... They would rather have children gushing over stars, rather than actually teaching them how the world came into order. We have to give our kids something meaningful to look into. For now, let u
ove him. Maybe, you can tell him that too!" Nadia suggested innocently.
"Yes, Mommy! Say, 'Honey, I love you!' And then kiss him like we did," Bobby seconded.
"Well..." Nancy was put in a really difficult spot.
She avoided being physically intimate with Charles whenever the kids were around.
"Come on, Mommy!" Nadia urged.
"Mommy, come on!" Bobby soon echoed.
Nancy blushed as the children cheered for her to kiss the man.
"Are you going to let the kids down?" Charles teased.
Nancy felt like she was backed into a corner. Of course she didn't want to disappoint the children!
So she closed her eyes as quickly kissed Charles on the cheek.
"Are you happy now, kids?" Nancy said as if she had just completed a chore.
"No, mommy, you haven't said anything yet! Bobby and I had already told Daddy that we love him. You have to tell him that too!" Nadia pleaded.
"You're already half-way, honey. Don't let the children down!" Charles smiled playfully as he added, "Is it really that difficult to say?"
