Chapter 91: The Twins at Action
Chapter 91 - the twins at action.
Well, Aaron was back here again feeling agitated to ask the kids how their mother reacted to the note. The uncertainty gnawed at him, his mind racing on how she would have reacted.
Would she have crumbled it immediately after seeing it? Did she read it? Did she— he rubbed his forehead, feeling headache crawling in.
Aaron praised those in heaven for making the teachers and headmaster so simple as he asked for permission to take his children to the nearest cafe and gave a flimsy excuse.
His palms had been sweaty when he’d approached the school office because he wondered whether Katherine had called the school and informed them not to let him get closer to the kids after he met up with the kids he did.
"I’m traveling to another city, can I get a moment with my kids as a goodbye," he’d said, expecting rejection, bracing himself for disappointment. But the headmaster had smiled warmly, and called the homeroom teacher to bring the kids.
To be shocked would be an understatement, he thought — God released a breath he didn’t know he was holding as he wanted to face-palm himself but decide against it.
When the kids saw him in the headmaster’s office, Jasmine had jumped on him shouting, "Daddy," she called, her eyes twinkled with happiness. She squealed while Aaron twirled her around, her laughter echoing through the room while Hanith had a little smile.
Aaron had bowed slightly in gratitude at the headmaster and took the kids to the small cafe across the school.
So here he was, staring at his children across the small wooden table, listening to them slurp loudly from their straws. He smiled, watching the kids drowning their chocolate drinks.
"Daddy!" Jasmine started, the straw popping out of her lips with a small pop, and immediately Aaron turned his attention to her, reaching for the napkin to wipe the stain on the side of her mouth.
