The next day, it was the weekend. Munchkin was at home. We wanted to take the children out but Neil wanted to come and so we canceled our plans to go out.
This was Munchkin's first-time meeting Neil.
"You can call him uncle." I glanced at Munchkin.
Munchkin was a polite boy and called him uncle like I asked him to.
Neil smiled. "So you're Munchkin. You're a handsome and dashing boy."
"You're cool too, uncle. Like daddy."
Children did not lie. Neil and Theo shared the same blood so they had similar auras, which could be seen at a glance.
I stroked his little head and turned my gaze to Theo. Although Theo accepted Neil the last time, the two brothers still did not interact with each other much and were still quite awkward with one another until now.
"Theo." I winked at him.
When Theo saw this, he glanced at the water in front of Neil and said slightly, "Please have a drink."
This unique greeting was so like Theo.
Neil smiled. "Alright."
They were so polite, so awkward.
I exchanged glances with Munchkin. I believed he was thinking the same as I was at this moment.
Caroline brought the two children down. Timothy and Wendy could both already walk a little. They broke the silence the moment they arrived, attracting both Theo and Neil's attention.
I purposely stayed back and watched Neil and Theo hold hands with one of the children each.
This was such a beautiful scene.
Theo and Neil played with the children the entire morning. The children then drank some milk before they went for their afternoon nap.
I knew Theo and Neil were in the study so I prepared some tea and fruits and brought it up to them.
