Chapter 56: Video call
Chapter 56
"Is this how we’re going to be looking at Mom?" Jasmine hummed as she laid flat on her stomach, her chin resting on her crossed arms. Her legs kicked lightly in the air while her eyes remained fixed on the still ceiling.
Hanith looked up away from his book, his fingers paused as he glanced at his twin sister.
"To lose herself again," Jasmine added softly, voice barely above a whisper while Hanith’s eyes lingered on Jasmine before he slowly nodded. He didn’t like the situation between his parents.
"True," he murmured, eyes dropping sadly. "We should do something before Mommy goes back to being—"
"She can’t!" Jasmine suddenly sat up, her voice loud with conviction. "We won’t allow her!" She turned to her twin, raising a determined brow. "I’ll start, so you support me."
"Okay," Hanith nodded, not needing more explanation. He trusted Jasmine to have a plan.
Katherine had barely finished wiping the kitchen counter when the twins rushed into the room, their hands clasped behind their backs with Jasmine having her scheming smile. Katherine shook her head, knowing something was coming.
"Mommy," Jasmine started sweetly, her tone so innocent and Katherine knew something she wasn’t prepared for was coming after that tone.
"Can we call Uncle Piano?" Jasmine blinked, giving puppy eyes.
Katherine’s hands paused a little, then turned to them. "Are you done with your home exercise?" she asked.
