Reincarnated as a Deadbeat Dad RDD 43

Chapter 43

After Penelope helped Sophia choose her toy, which as expected was Barbie, we decided to return to Corazon's house.

It was 9:30 by the ti we were done. December 24th was obviously a busy day and we saw a lot of people walking around.

When we arrived at the city hall, Sion and his tricycle were waiting for us.

"I'm sorry. Have you been waiting long, brother?" Penelope asked.

"No, I just got here," Sion said, putting two kilos of pork chops on the tricycle.

Pork was one of the main sources of at in the Philippines, along with chicken. In fact, cow and goat at were not usually eaten. They were expensive, unlike pork and chicken.

"It looks like you had a good ti. That's good." He smiled and rubbed Sophia's head. The little girl giggled as she let Sion pat her.

"Then let's go ho."

"Okay."

Early in the morning, we accomplished what we needed most. We deposited the money safely in the bank and spent our ti together. We ate at a famous restaurant... Well, a famous fast food restaurant, and bought Pokemons and other toys.

Seeing my kids happy with what they got made happy too. We returned to the house smiling.

..........

.......

...

When we got there, everyone was already awake and getting ready for Christmas.

-- mmweekk--!

"Ah--!"

Sophia almost yelped as a sudden scream ca through.

"M- mommy, what's that?"

"Honey, don't worry about it. It's just noise."

Penelope hushed and rocked Sophie to calm her. Sophia nodded reluctantly, though she was scared and curious.

"Looks like Father's killing the goats." Sion shrugged after seeing the little girl's reaction.

"Goats?"

I was surprised.

Is that how a goat screams when it is being slaughtered? I have only heard a pig's deafening scream, but never a goat's.

I was also very curious.

"Is that how goats scream?"

Roman was curious as well.

"Yes."

"Dad, I want to see it!"

Huh?

I frowned at Roman. Was he really curious to see a goat being killed?

I was young when I first saw a chicken being slaughtered. And to be honest, I felt nothing. Instead of feeling sad about the chicken's death, I felt grateful that I had a delicious chicken to eat.

My past self was born in the middle class family, and our life was never easy.

Have you ever eaten a bowl of rice with only salt in it? I have.

There were tis when I had to drink water because it was the only thing we had. Even eating three tis a day was a blessing. Hell, I even salvaged food from garbage dumps.

So eating at was a luxury when I was young. Fortunately, my father decided to work overseas just to give us a good life. I respect my father a lot, I know how hard it was to work in a foreign country where you don't speak the language.

Just to give us a better life, my father did everything.

Suddenly, a single tear rolled from my eye. I rembered those monts... I miss my parents, I feel guilty that I never repay my parents. My heart felt heavy.

"Honey?"

Penelope looked worried as she approached .

"No, I'm fine."

Look at . The subject ranged from goats being killed to my past family. Sotis my inner monologue jumped really far.

"Hm." Penelope nodded, but it was obvious that she was worried.

"I won't stop Roman, but Sophia is not allowed."

Roman was already old and he understood the reason why we were killing goats.

"Okay, Dad." Roman ran off and went to his grandfather.

I carried our things and took Sophia back to the room.

Sophia yawned and closed her eyes weakly. She is a baby and usually sleeps every afternoon. Penelope prepared her little bed and laid Sophia down. The little girl slept peacefully. Maybe she was happy to have another Barbie.

"Are you okay, honey?"

After making sure Sophia was asleep, Penelope approached with concern. She hugged from behind.

"I'm fine. I just rembered sothing."

I shrugged as she wrapped her arms around . I held her hands.

"I love you."

"I love you too." I smiled at that.

People said that saying "I love you" to your loved ones was awkward, embarrassing and cringe. But in my opinion, being honest with my wife was the best decision I ever made in my life.

I will never get tired of telling her how much I love her.

I turned and faced my wife. Then I kissed her from her forehead to her lips.

My lips touched hers for a millisecond. Then my wife advanced and kissed tenderly. We began to make out in the room.

"Mmm~" She gasped weakly.

Of course, we didn't go that far. We are adults. It would be stupid to make out while our daughter is sleeping next to us. As her parents, we want to show her proper parenting.

"I'm going to look for Roman."

"Hm." Penelope nodded.

She was breathing heavily after an intense kiss. She smiled at and hugged again.

For unknown reasons, my hands were possessed by the devil. I unconsciously grabbed her ass and gripped the cheeks!

"!!!"

Penelope was surprised and almost pushed away. But maybe she rembered that I was depressed, so she stayed still and let feel.

"I'm sorry, I never know my hands will do it."

I imdiately apologized, but when I saw Penelope with teary eyes and a bright red face, I swallowed hard.

"Go." She muttered and I decided to leave.

We both know that if we take one more step, there is a chance that we will do it until the end.

... I don't know if it's a good thing that I have a condom in my wallet or not.

I smiled bitterly... I need to rest for a few seconds to calm my 'nerves'.
