"Okay. Then I'll ask a little question that makes everyone happy, okay?" Anderson waved his little hand.
"What do you want to ask?" Julia trembled.
She was already about to have her heart stopped by this little baby. I can't believe he has more questions.
"I want to ask Mommy and Daddy when they're going to give me a brother and sister." Anderson was full of anticipation.
Luther was drinking soup when he heard this and nearly choked out.
"Ahem." He hastily took a few napkins and covered his thin lips so as not to lose his manners.
Joyce's face instantly fell.
Her son was increasingly uncontrollable and mouthy.
"Haha." Julia clapped her hands and said, "That's a good question, good question."
Joyce gave Julia a look.
Cecelia smiles and asks Anderson, "So Andres, do you want a brother, or a sister?"
Anderson gave it some serious thought.
"As much as I want a brother to play with me. But it's better to have a sister first. Because I'm already a brother to her, I can take care of her."
Sister...
Luther's heart thumped when he heard it.
He knew it had touched Joyce's sore point. Everyone else in the room didn't know anything about Iris. So, they will not understand, when Joyce heard "sister", she felt like a sharp knife went straight into her heart.
A chill ran down his back and he glanced cautiously at Joyce.
Sure enough, Joyce's face turned white on the spot, and only he could detect that her lips were trembling.
