When the Hunts and the Smiths were up to their necks in work, the parties involved suddenly disappeared.
Justin took Nora and the three little ones, plus an additional Caleb, with him, and the group of six suddenly vanished from the city.
When Joel received Nora's text message, the corners of his lips couldn't help but spasm.
"What's wrong?" Tanya asked.
Joel replied speechlessly, "They said that they are going on their honeymoon."
Were they already going on a honeymoon when they weren't even married yet?
But no one who knew about it asked them to return.
Even when they encountered problems with the wedding preparation, no one bothered the family of five —they knew that the family was accompanying Xander on the last leg of his journey.
No one wanted to waste a minute or even a second of the time they had left together.
Although, somewhat contrary to the sorrowful and tragic scene that everyone was imagining...
On the beach.
The barefooted Xander stared at the sea and exclaimed, "Is that the sea?"
"Yeah!" Cherry put her hands on her hips and raised her head as she said, "I often visit the sea. Doesn't it make
you feel relaxed and revitalized?"
"Cherry has improved! She knows words like 'revitalized' now!" Pete said approvingly from the side.
"Yeah!" Xander echoed.
Cherry raised her chin. "Of course... no, wait, why do I feel like you two are mocking me? Boohoo! Daddy, Pete and Xander are bullying me!"
Right after Cherry's words and her pretense of crying by rubbing her eyes with her hands, Justin, who was clad in a pair of cooling beach shorts, strode over.
Pete and Xander looked at each other and hurriedly got ready to flee.
Unfortunately, how could the two little ones possibly outrun the Big Brother of the Irvin School of Martial Arts famous for his agility?
Thus, the two were caught.
Then, the two children's cries could be heard coming from the hotel.
"I was wrong, Daddy! I won't bully my younger sister ever again!"
"Whoa, I'm dying, Daddy! Can you be a little less heavy-handed?!"
Afterwards.
Nora applied medicine on the two little boys' butts.
Pete bore with the pain and kept quiet.
As for Xander, he couldn't help complaining, "That tyrant!"
Nora chuckled, though her movements were gentle.
"Who told you to say that you have never been spanked by your parents? We were just cooperating with you so that you won't leave the world with regrets."
"... Mommy, you've been led astray too!" Xander complained.
"Then Daddy can just spank him. Why spank me too?"
At the side, Justin coughed."... It was habitual." II II
Pete had mild autism when he was younger, so he was extremely disobedient. At that time, Justin didn't know about his condition, so he had spanked him.
Pete was also very stubborn then, so he refused to cry out even when he was being spanked, which caused Justin to spank him even harder. This led to him developing a fever in the middle of the night. If Mrs. Hunt hadn't checked in on him, no one would have noticed.
This was also the reason for the various conflicts between Pete and Justin in the beginning.
When Justin first took Pete to California, Chester had been quite afraid that Justin and the little troublemaker would fight. Neither of them was someone willing to give in. Fortunately, Pete and Cherry had switched places then. Whenever the little girl cried or wailed, Justin would give in immediately.
