Chapter 675
When the two little boys heard that, they were instantly overjoyed.
They did not expect their mother to agree to their request.
“Mommy, are we really going to go out to play?”
“Of course! Since both of you want to go, I shall fulfill your wish.”
After saying that, Joanna Haynes looked at Carson and instructed, “Carson, go and book a barbecue pit now. We might not be able to rent one if we’re too late!”
Carson replied with a smile, “Yes, madam. I’ll book a barbecue pit now!”
The two boys jumped up in joy as they exclaimed, “Oh yes, that’s great. We can have a barbecue now.”
Seeing how excited the children were, even Bruce Everett could tell that it was a good decision. He started to chuckle foolishly.
“It’s just a barbecue. Why are you guys so happy about it?”
“Of course we are! It’s very exciting especially since we get to go with daddy and mommy.”
“Sigh, I really can’t do anything about you guys,” Joanna sighed in resignation.
Just as they were playing around, the gate slowly opened again.
A Mercedes-Benz van slowly drove in.
“Lilia has returned from school.” Davian Haynes and Irvin Haynes immediately skipped toward the car.
They couldn’t wait to tell their sister the good news.
A maid opened the door and carried Lilia Haynes out of the van.
Lilia was equipped with an electronic prosthesis and could walk slowly. However, she was not as agile as an ordinary person
and she couldn’t walk fast.
“Are
you back from school, Lilia?”
Lilia was especially elated to see everyone coming out to welcome her.
Her face beamed brightly like a sunflower as she announced, “Mommy, daddy, Davian, and Irvin, I’m back!”
Irvin could not wait as he immediately blurted out, “Lilia, I have some good news for you!”
“What good news?”
“It’s a school holiday tomorrow due to Independence Day so mommy said she’s taking us to Beach Park for a barbecue”
When Lilia heard this, her big grape-like eyes widened. She looked very adorable as she asked,/Really?”
“Of course! You can ask mommy if you don’t believe me.”
Lilia looked at Joanna excitedly and asked, “Mommy, is what Irvin said true?”
Joanna smiled gently before confirming Irvin’s words, “That’s right! It’s rare for you guys to have a break from school. Daddy and I also happen to be free so it would be nice for all of us to spend some time together.”
“Oh yay, that’s great!” Lilia instantly cheered.
Bruce happily picked his daughter up and raised her up high.
“You’re so cute, my baby Lilia!” As he spoke, he kissed Lilia’s face again.
As the saying goes, a daughter is her father’s lover from his past life. He did not dote on his two sons so much but he is really affectionate to his daughter to the core.
“Miranda, go prepare the ingredients for the barbecue.”
“You can prepare more. It’s rare for everyone to have time to get together so you, Kelly, and Tracy, can come with us.”
“Alright, Joann,” Miranda replied with a smile.
Carson had already booked the barbecue pit. “Mrs. Joanna, I’ve already called to book the largest barbecue pit area.”
Initially, no more barbecue grills were available as they had already been booked. However, Carson offered to pay more money and reserved one of the barbecue pit areas in the park.
“Good job. Go and make arrangements for tomorrow’s trip then!”
“Okay, Mrs. Joanna.”
The whole family prepared to sleep early.
Joanna lay on the soft and comfortable bed and flipped through the documents sent by Andy.
Bruce lay beside her, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
For the past month or so, the two of them had been sleeping on the same bed.
Although Bruce was very clingy to her, he did not do anything that would cross the line.
However, being right next to her and not being able to touch her made him feel very uncomfortable. Tonight, he was even more irritable and kept tossing and turning.
Seeing this, Joanna could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why are you tossing and turning? Can’t you sleep?”
Although Bruce was not clear-headed, he was still a man after all.
Moreover, he had never been an abstinent man in the past. Even if his mind was not clear now, his brain still remembered the process of sleeping around.
“Honey… I don’t feel good…” Bruce looked at Joanna pitifully.
His hands started to become a little naughty.
Joanna frowned. She knew what he wanted to do.
She immediately pushed his restless hands away and warned him sternly, “No!”
