A Crazy Night Novel

After Christina returned home from work, Lucas and Camila ran to her. “Mommy, Daddy fetched us today! You should kiss Daddy as a reward!”

Whenever the two children did something praiseworthy, Christina would reward them with a kiss.

Christina glanced at Nathaniel awkwardly. “Daddy is an adult. He doesn’t like this kind of reward.”

The two kids turned to look at Nathaniel in confusion, hoping to get a definite answer.

“I want the reward, but if your mommy is unwilling, we can’t force her, okay?”

Christina harrumphed inwardly upon hearing his words. This pitiful approach will only fool children.

Lucas and Camila looked at Christina expectantly and uttered in unison, “Mommy, please give Daddy a reward. Don’t be so stingy.”

Christina’s ears flushed. Nathaniel is threatening me now that he has the kids’ support.

She quickly kissed Nathaniel on the check before she fled from the scene, rushing to the second floor.

Nathaniel patted the kids’ heads. “I’ll fetch you guys from school every day from now on. In return, you guys have to get Mommy to reward me, okay?”

Lucas narrowed his eyes, exuding a maturity that surpassed those of his peers. “Daddy, will you bring lollipops for me and Camila?”

“Of course!”

Camila and Lucas cheered joyfully and gave Nathaniel a high-five. “It’s a deal!”

In the study upstairs, Karen’s gown was finished. Karen was satisfied with the piece and wanted to order an even grander one next time.

Christina’s work progress exceeded her expectations, so she had an extra day to set up her preparations.
