Soon, Athena came home.
It was almost bedtime for the kids.
Mia was throwing a tantrum because she didn't want Jaxson or Alice to tell her a bedtime story.
Seeing Athena come back,
Mia immediately ran toward her.
Athena picked her up. "Why are you throwing a tantrum again?"
Mia had always been quite upset in the past few days
"I only wanted to wait for you to come back and tell me a bedtime story," Mia muttered aggrievedly.
Athena kissed her cheek.
She looked at Jaxson and Alice. "You may go to rest."
"Okay."
The two agreed and left.
Athena carried Mia upstairs.
Aiden was already reading in bed.
Seeing Athena, he looked up and said, "Is the dinner party over?"
"No. There was a bit of an accident, so I secretly sneaked back."
Athena put Mia back on the bed.
Then, she went over and kissed Aiden on the forehead.
Aiden seemed expressionless, but he swayed his feet. Apparently, he was quite happy.
"Is this a book about physics?" Athena looked at the cover.
"Yeah." Aiden nodded. "It's very interesting."
Athena felt quite proud of Aiden.
"He's such a smart boy!" She thought.
"Mommy, I'm the same age as my brother. He can read many books, but I..." Sitting on the side of the bed, Mia looked at Aiden enviously.
Mia felt very helpless that she wasn't as smart as her brother.
She also wanted to learn to read, but every time she read a book that didn't have any pictures, she would start to yawn.
"You are so good at painting, and your understanding of colors is far better than mine." Aiden sounded like a father praising his child.
"Really?" Mia's eyes lit up.
"Um."
Aiden also wanted to say that Mia was lively and cute, and the others always liked her a lot wherever she went.
Which was to say, she was more welcome than him.
