Harvey nodded adorably, “We must help them. Even if they don’t want to celebrate their night, we will think of a way to celebrate it. We must make them talk to each other. That way, they will love each other more.”
Sammy agreed, “I agree with you!”
Penny was immediately panicking as she thought hard about what to do, “Then, what should we do?”
Sammy’s eyes lit up as a good idea occurred to her.
“We tried to find out ways to improve the relationship between Daddy and Mummy, and one of the suggestions is candlelight dinner. It is said that it can help improve relationships between a couple. Let’s ask them to have a date night together!”
Harvey grabbed his chin and thought about this idea, “It sounds like a good idea. I know a good restaurant at Central Plaza. It is on the sixty-third floor which would give us a panoramic view of the city. It’s bound to be romantic and it has good reviews too. We can book a table and then invite Daddy and Mummy later.”
Sammy giggled and patted his chest, “Alright, leave that to me!”
Then, he took out his phone and booked a table by tapping on an app.
…
In the evening, Jean received a call from Penny.
“Uncle Jean, do you have time tonight?”
Penny’s voice was very tender and she sounded polite.
Jean was about to go home after work. He replied, “I have time. What’s up?”
Penny felt energized upon hearing that. She invited her, “We know about your marriage with Mummy! We want to invite you for dinner!”
Jean’s brows shot up doubtfully.
Did these triplets not know that his marriage to Neera was just a sham marriage?
However, come to think of it, it was hard to explain the intricacies of a sham marriage to children.
If they thought that they were having a serious marriage, so be it. It would not affect anything anyway.
He nodded quickly, “Alright, let’s do it.”
The triplets were ecstatic to hear that as they were all huddled by the phone which was on loudspeaker mode. Penny quickly provided him with an address.
On the other hand, Neera came to the kindergarten to fetch the triplets after class had finished.
“Mummy, let’s have a meal out there! We haven’t eaten out for a while!”
Sammy was the first to broach the topic.
Penny tugged at her hand and chipped in, “Mummy, let’s go! Harvey found a nice restaurant and we are all eager to try it!”
Neera broke into a grin when she saw their adorable antics, “Okay, okay! I happened to earn a lot of money lately. I will treat you guys to a meal!”
The triplets all jumped up in joy.
The four of them soon arrived at Central Plaza.
The restaurant was a French one, and the interior had quite a romantic vibe. It was very conducive for a date.
Their table was by the window. They could take in the full beauty of Kingsview. It was a magnificent sight.
Neera was satisfied with the table. She led the triplets to their seats.
A waiter came over and asked them, “Good day to you. May I know if there are only four of you?”
Neera wanted to answer her but Sammy was faster, “No, there are five of us!”
Five?
Neera frowned upon hearing that.
There were obviously only four of them here. Why would Sammy say that?
Before she could ask them, a familiar figure strolled into the restaurant.
It was none other than Jean!
“Why is he here…”
She murmured out of surprise.
The triplets quickly waved at Jean, “Uncle Jean! Here! Come here…”
The triplets were overly excited to see him. They were waving their hands in exaggerated motion and their eyes were full of energy.
Only then did Neera realize that it was the triplets who actually invited him to come!
Jean marched toward them after discovering their table. He was extremely handsome at the moment with that blue suit covering his skin. He felt like royalty.
He shot a look at Neera before greeting the triplets.
Then, he sat down opposite Neera.
Neera was silent for some time. Then, she forced a whisper out of her gnashed teeth, “Why did you invite him? Why didn’t you tell me just now?”
Sammy giggled mischievously, “I think you have Uncle Jean to thank for being able to make it out fine from that incident. We are really indebted to him. I just think that we should properly thank him!”
Penny went along with him, “That’s right, Sammy is right. Also, although you are in a sham marriage with Uncle Jean, you should act like a real couple. Having a dinner date like this won’t hurt at all!”
Jean was really surprised to hear that.
“What? So you know that we are in a sham marriage.”
“Yeah.”
Harvey nodded, “We know that! Mummy did not hide this from us. She told us what happened that day.”
