Chapter 616 - 14.12
"What’s wrong, Reed? You didn’t seem happy when I said that Clarke will be coming as well," Gaius confronted. The displeasure on Reed’s face was quite obvious, meaning that it was difficult for him to hide that dismay in his heart.
Reed hurriedly fixed his expression, returning to his normal perfunctory smile as if everything that Gaius saw just now was an illusion.
"Of course, I’m happy that he will be coming too. You said that he rarely has time to bond with the kids, right?"
Gaius sighed and nodded to confirm, "He’s so busy, too busy with his work in the office and as a superhero. I understand that he does this for all of us. But sometimes, I wish he could have more time for the kids and me."
"That’s unfortunate. The kids won’t like him if he keeps ignoring his duty as a father to his children," Reed commented, still with his mysterious smile.
"Yeah, that’s why I’m excited when he said he’ll empty his schedule on the weekend. So we can have free time together," Gaius cheered. "I’ll cook his favourite food, and I’ll allow the kids to eat whatever they want for the day."
"But... what if he has a sudden call or sudden meeting on the weekend? Maybe an urgent thing that he needed to handle?" Reed opened up possibilities. "Maybe he can’t come on the weekend."
"Hey, don’t jinx it like that! I really want him to spend time with his family!" Gaius snorted, full of annoyance. "He has to make sure that he can play with the kids on the weekend, or the kids—and I will be upset!"
"Hm... let’s just see...." Reed Ville smiled thin.
[Pupa: You’re baiting him.]
[Hehe, I mean, he’s that type of man who likes to play from behind to scheme. I bet he’ll make Clarke busy during the visit to the water park.]
