A Crazy Night Novel

Christina could not reject the adorable kids.

She reached for the card and removed the cap of the pen. “All right. Tell me what I should write.”

Lucas cast a glance at Camila. I’ll leave the artistic side of things to Camila,

Camila started eloquently. “My sweet darling, you’re the most important person in my life. I want to hug you, kiss you, and never let you go.”

Christina laughed at her cringy words.

Lucas hurriedly reminded, “Don’t laugh, Mommy. Focus on writing it down.”

Christina stopped laughing and gave him an okay before writing down Camila’s words.

A while later, she handed over the written card to Camila. “I’m done. Shouldn’t you both be going to bed now?”

Camila took the card and skimmed through it in detail. She then gave Christina a tube of lipstick. “Mommy, stamp it.”

“How?” Christina laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled.

Lucas pursed his lips and made a smooching sound. Christina was amused by his charming side.

Comprehension dawned on her as surprise filled her. “Where did you learn that?”

“From the movies. All of them stamp their cards with a kiss.”

Without much choice, Christina applied a layer of lipstick on her lips, then gently pressed them on the card, leaving a red mark.

“Done. Here you go!”

Lucas and Camila checked the card and were satisfied with the mark. “This is perfect. Continue with your work, Mommy. We’ll return to our room to finish our homework.”

“Go ahead.” Christina didn’t notice the kids plan and buried her head in work.
