The little guy's suspicious big eyes made Edwards Wayne feel guilty and quickly let go of his hand.
The blanket in his hands fell to the ground pitifully.
Edwards Wayne used one hand to prop up the wardrobe door, and was trying to find an excuse: "Emma, George, it's not what you think. Your Mummy just accidentally wet the blanket on the bed, we were about to change it to a new bed."
"That's right. I wet the blanket when I was drinking water. Okay, if you don't want to go to bed, then come in and sleep with us. The beds here are big enough." Lily wanted to bring the children in.
"No way!" George said with disgust.
"That's right, I won't sleep with Mummy anymore. I want you to sleep with Father!" Emma also had an arrogant little expression.
The two small heads obediently shrank back, and then, George reached out and shut the door.
"Turn off the lights!" Lily suddenly said.
"This is a good suggestion!" Edwards Wayne's thin lips curled up.
Lily immediately turned off the lights in the room. Outside the window, there was a faint halo of light.
The two of them stood at their original positions, and after waiting for his eyes to adjust to the dim light, Edwards Wayne bent down and continued to pick up the blanket.
"The two little fellows are getting smarter and smarter. In the future, we shouldn't lie too much before them. Otherwise, if they were to see through our lies, it would be extremely embarrassing. Just like earlier, the two little fellows were obviously suspicious of something."
Lily said righteously, "I'm not afraid of embarrassment. They are my children."
"Are you teaching them to lie?" Edwards Wayne had a different opinion.
"I didn't mean that!"
"But this is how you teach them. It will make them feel like lying is also a way to solve their problems and it’s a good habit."
"Stop finding fault with my words. I don't believe that you won't lie in this life of yours!" Lily felt that this man was being too honest, lying to him out of goodwill was a type of comfort.
"No, I might be able to lie more than you. Besides, I can still lie without my face red and with my breath calm. I am even very confident." Edwards Wayne's answer instantly pacified the unfairness in Lily's heart. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the tall man under the dim light with astonishment.
"Then you said that I just taught the children to lie!" Lily was unconvinced. Why did this man still come to teach her a lesson?
Edwards Wayne laughed at himself: "Sorry, I am indeed not qualified to say that you are wrong, but the children's minds are still very clean. I hope that when they can differentiate between the truth and lies, then I can properly educate them to use their own eyes and instincts to judge what is right and wrong. Now, they are not even four years old yet.
"Alright, what you said makes sense!" Lily felt that she could refute him at times.
Seeing that she did not go against him, Edwards Wayne's mood inexplicably became a little better.
"It's getting late, we still need to take the children to the zoo tomorrow. Let's rest early." After Edwards Wayne finished speaking, he nimbly laid the blanket on the floor, and his huge body immediately fell flat on his back.
"Here's a pillow for you!" Lily sat on the bed and then threw a pillow at him.
Edwards Wayne caught it and placed it under his head.
Lily also laid down lightly.
Just when the two of them decided to fall asleep like this, suddenly, in the silent air, they heard the sound of the door handle turning.
Both of them exclaimed in their hearts, "No!"
