"Sis, when will you and brother Harris have a child?" Jenny suddenly asked Nadine.
"Your sister and I still want to be alone. Maybe two more years," Harris put his arm around Nadine's shoulders and gently pulled her into his arms.
"But look at Brother Nico and Sister Tara. After having children, they've grown to be more responsible. Their home also feels more cheerful," said Jenny.
Anya then silently looked at Nadine. Seeing Nadine laughing and not taking the question to heart, Anya felt much calmer.
Luckily, there were four children in the house. Bima would normally ask Nadine and Harris to consider having children, but he didn't push them for it.
"I see, Mason and Madison are really tall. Has anyone trained them?" Jenny asked.
"Your brother and sister-in-law have no experience with children so they decided to find a professional nanny as well as a teacher. They want their children to have good posture," said Maria.
Jenny was immediately taken aback. "Aren't they still kids? They should still be playing!"
Aiden also has two children, but he does not want to teach his sons too seriously. He allowed his children to play, just like Nico did when he was a child.
Aiden was educated so strictly from childhood that he was so disciplined and deprived of his childhood. That's why he doesn't want his children to have the same childhood as him.
He wants his children to enjoy their childhood freely.
Meanwhile, Nico has been pampered since childhood. He and Tara did not want their two children to follow in the footsteps of their father who was too naughty and wild so they raised them more strictly.
The four children in the Atmajaya Family were brought up in different ways, but with good intentions.
"I'm afraid the kids are too much like me. They can grow up to be naughty kids." Nico said, but then they all suddenly heard an explosion from upstairs.
Anya was shocked and immediately ran towards the source.
Aiden rushed to follow her into the children's playroom. As they entered, they saw smoke filling the room.
Wearing helmets and suits, Arka and Aksa walked out of the room with bodies covered in dust.
"What's wrong?" Anya felt very relieved when she saw that her two sons were fine. Their bodies only looked a little dirty, but nothing bad happened to them.
"Mother, we did an experiment. We made bombs using gunpowder from fireworks. But the pot wasn't strong enough to hold it," said Arka calmly.
"But the bomb worked. Unfortunately, the pans from the kitchen are not very good," Aksa continued excitedly.
"Waiter, please take them to shower and clean them. Don't forget to change their clothes. Get some people to fix the playroom," said Aiden.
"Leave them to me, uncle. Looks like these kids need to be taught some lessons. Otherwise, this room might be destroyed," Jenny immediately felt that Nico's upbringing was much better. Even if he's a little harsh, at least Mason and Madison aren't this naughty.
Being naughty is fine, but don't cause harm to others.
Half an hour later, Arka and Aksa had changed clothes and looked clean. They returned to being two handsome little boys, not as mischievous as before.
Arka immediately admitted his mistake. He said that he knew Nico kept a lot of fireworks in the basement so he and Aksa worked together to make a bomb.
They also found small helmets in the basement. Bima bought various toys for his grandchildren, including small cars and motorbikes that they could ride. He also bought safety equipment so that his grandchildren would be safe if they wanted to ride the cars and motorbikes.
But Arka and Aksa used it for this dangerous experiment.
It was true that the security equipment they used was good enough to protect them. Unfortunately, the tools they used, especially the pots that were usually used for cooking, weren't something that could be used to make bombs.
It seems, these two children are pretty much fearless.
Aiden then looked at Aksa. "I don't forbid you to do experiments. You can do whatever it takes to satisfy your curiosity. But..."
Under his father's gaze, Aksa immediately hid behind her brother. "But the experiment worked," he whispered.
"But you shouldn't do it at home. And before conducting experiments, you must ensure that you use safe tools to avoid accidents. Do you understand your mistake?" Aiden's voice sounded colder than before.
"We understand," Arka and Aksa said at the same time.
"Now stretch out your hands..." Anya said.
Aksa immediately turned to Bima and asked for his help. "Grandpa…"
Bima took a deep breath. He loved his two grandchildren very much, but of course they had to be educated more strictly so as not to harm others.
Curiosity is good, it makes young children want to learn more. But it is not good if it is not balanced with caution.
"Don't call me. You almost blew up Grandpa's house. Are you happy?" Bima grumbled.
Finally, Arka and Aksa stretched out their hands and received a light hit from their father. It wasn't a big blow, but enough to warn them that what they did today was a mistake.
After punishing them, Aiden explained about the safety rules. That Arka and Aksa are allowed to do whatever they want, provided that there are adults who accompany and take care of them.
Aiden didn't blame them for their curiosity. He supports his two sons to do whatever they want, but on the condition that they do it safely.
Therefore, the punishment that Arka and Aksa got didn't make them hate their parents. But instead, they asked Aiden to talk about how they should conduct the next experiment, where they could do it and what preparations they had to do.
Aiden told them that he would provide all the equipment to keep them safe. He didn't oppose what experiments Arka and Aksa wanted to do as he didn't want to limit their curiosity.
"Finally, I know why these two kids were really naughty and dared to blow up the house. It turned out to be because Uncle supported them! Auntie, are you not worried?" Jenny asked.
Anya just laughed. "I also did a lot of experiments in my perfume room. If my kids have ideas, of course I will support whatever they want. They're just too young and don't understand danger. That's why Aiden and I are here to teach them."
"Aren't you worried that something might happen?" Jenny asked everyone around her because there was no one to defend her.
"Little kids are naughty. As long as they aren't hurt, everything is fine. Curiosity will make them smarter. After all, your uncle and aunt can take good care of them. I wouldn't mind either," Bima added with a smile.
"Jenny, you are still too young. After you get married and have children, you will understand," Maria said while holding her daughter's hand.
"I have no intention of getting married and I will not have children. The kids are so naughty that they almost destroyed the house." After she finished, Jenny pulled her mother into the kitchen and asked her to teach her to cook.
Anya found it strange to see Jenny wanting to learn to cook, like watching the sun rise from the west. However, she realized that she wasn't very good at cooking either so she followed them into the kitchen and watched them. Who knew if her cooking skills could be a little better.
"Auntie, you should just stay with uncle. You will laugh when you see me cooking. If I blow up the kitchen and hurt you, uncle will kill me," Jenny coaxed, trying to get Anya out of the kitchen.
…
The next day, Jenny woke up late because she was still adjusting to the different hours abroad.
When she woke up the next day, she saw dozens of missed calls on her cell phone. All of them came from Rudi.
She rubbed her still blurry eyes and then called Rudi back with a sleepy face. She had not had time to open her mouth when Rudi's voice was heard. "Jenny, did you just wake up?"
Jenny scratched her head. "Why did you call me? I'm still jet-lagged."
"Fast wake. I've already booked a place at a restaurant and asked Jonathan to meet up," Rudi replied.
