The car pulled over in front of a restaurant.
Lunchtime was over, hence the restaurant was not crowded.
The waitress gave them a warm welcome. "Sir, may I arrange a table over there for you and your wife? It's near the children's play area too."
Everleigh froze when she heard the word 'wife'. She hurriedly tried to explain, "We aren't..."
"Lead the way." Theodore was indifferent. Everleigh was not sure if he interrupted her deliberately.
Everleigh turned to look at him but he headed to the dining area with Adrienne in his arms.
They were seated next to the children's play area. There were slides and ball pits. The design was very colorful and enticing.
Adrienne sat next to Theodore. She placed her chubby face on Theodore's arm and glanced at the menu he was holding. "Daddy, I want to eat fried chicken wings and fries."
"No." Everleigh immediately turned to glare at Adriene. Everleigh caught a glimpse that Theodore was frowning, and she lowered her voice, indistinctly, "You ate a lot of junk food this week. You can't have them."
She was a doctor, hence she was unwilling to let the twins eat any junk food.
Adrienne cranked her neck and whispered, "I want ice cream."
"You can only have one ice-cream each day."
"But I haven't eaten any today."
"You ate two yesterday."
Adrienne turned to Alastair angrily and snapped, "You betrayed me!"
Alastair looked up from the menu and replied helplessly, "I didn't."
"Then how did Mommy know that I ate your icecream?"
Something suddenly dawned on Adrienne. She covered her mouth with her hands and she blinked nervously.
Everleigh frowned. "You ate your brother's? That's three! You're not allowed to eat them tomorrow either."
Adrienne just shot herself in the foot.
