On the last day of filming, it was announced that everyone could leave as soon as lunch time was over.

Half a day—they only needed to get through half a day before all of them could be set free. Everyone prayed silently for things to go off without a hitch.

All the five celebrity dads were physically and emotionally drained as they finally began to realize how their wives were the true pillars of the family.

They only had to take care of their kids for two short days, but they felt as though they’d aged a decade.

Carmen was Michael’s precious little girl and he had always enjoyed their father-daughter bonding time even back when she was a baby. Babysitting was hardly a challenge for him, but Sophia-sitting was—there was no telling what she would be up to next.

True to her nature, Sophia was now hiding in the crowd, probably waiting to make a mess out of things. She wasn’t using her contacts and somehow that had drawn Carmen’s gaze toward her. Carmen perked up as she picked the blue-eyed Sophia right out of the horde of villagers. “Mommy!” she cried out happily.

Carmen took off at a run and planted herself firmly in Sophia’s embrace.

Sophia was startled but she wrapped her arms around Carmen anyway.

That one hug brought forth an astounding ripple effect.

The remaining four children who witnessed this scene immediately turned toward their dads and before long…

 

“Wah! I want Mommy!”

“Daddy, I want Mommy now!”

 

The children were crestfallen to see that Carmen’s mother had shown up but not their own. Soon, the sound of heart-wrenching sobs and incoherent wails filled the air.

The celebrity dads grew flustered.

The kids had woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and they’d spent hours trying to placate them, for heaven’s sake! What are we supposed to do now?

Sophia panicked as the sobbing and wailing went on, her hands clutching Carmen against her.

Meanwhile, Michael winced. He had known that Sophia would mess things up one way or another.

The out-of-hand situation worsened as all the dads tried to soothe their kids, all the while glowering at Sophia.

Upon seeing that, the director heaved a frustrated sigh.

In light of all this, Michael went over to his wife, trying to make himself look as outraged as possible. He then ordered in a low voice, “Go back to the hotel and stay there. I’ll see you tonight.”
