Camila pouted. “You never planned to bring Daddy along at all!”

“Of course! When did I ever lie to you before?” Christina gently patted their heads.

Before the kids replied, she carried them into their room. “Rest well, okay? We’ll take the plane there tomorrow!”

Camila and Lucas nodded obediently. “Goodnight, Mommy!”

“Goodnight.” Christina kissed their foreheads before leaving the room.
