Grace Thompson nodded towards Charlotte Thompson and looked around.
"But dad was just standing in the living room, how co he’s gone now? Wasn’t he driven out by great-grandfather?"
"Indeed, dad Justin is outside right now." Charlotte did not deny this and nodded towards the children.
"Ah, what did dad say that made great-grandfather so angry that he drove him out?"
Grace Thompson couldn’t comprehend and tilted her head.
After all, when with the children, Mr. Thompson always had a kind smile, so the children had never seen Mr. Thompson looking very serious.
"Don’t worry, your dad Justin will always be with you." Charlotte said with a pursed smile.
"Really?"
The children all asked in unison then turned their gazes towards Charlotte.
"Of course." But this ti it wasn’t Charlotte who answered.
They heard Justin Battleson’s voice from outside as he slowly walked in. He ca up to the children and bent down, smiling at them:
"Daddy promised that he would always be with you, and always be there for mommy."
"Yay!"
Grace Thompson seed relieved, grabbed Justin Battleson’s arm, and playfully swayed back and forth.
"We all as a family need to be together always."
Seeing this, Charlotte reached out and pulled Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson into her arms.
"A family, always together."
Though Charlotte’s voice was soft, it was enough for Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson to hear clearly.
Both kids paused for a mont, then buried their faces in Charlotte’s embrace.
Charlotte could obviously see what the children were thinking.
And how could the children not understand the aning in Charlotte’s words?
"Together always..."
Chad Thompson’s voice was soft, and if one listened closely, one could hear a hint of tears in it.
Charlotte’s gaze was tender to the extre as she lovingly stroked Chad Thompson’s soft hair.
"Chad, don’t cry!"
Hank Thompson was the first to notice Chad Thompson’s eyes reddening, he imdiately walked over and carefully wiped the tears from Chad’s eyes with his sleeve.
The other children also gathered around, comforting Chad Thompson in turns.
Just then, unexpectedly from Mr. Thompson’s side, ca Jordan Thompson’s scream.
"You unruly boy! Co here right now! See if I don’t break your legs!" Mr. Thompson said.
"Help, sis, save !"
Jordan Thompson ran towards Charlotte Thompson as if fleeing from calamity, scaring Charlotte imdiately to protect her children and then dodged Jordan.
"Run slower, don’t bump into the children."
"Sis, I’m about to die, and you don’t even care about ." Jordan Thompson coughed, his expression very sorrowful.
Charlotte glanced at Mr. Thompson, who was being comforted by Jas Thompson over there, and tugged on his sleeve.
"What did you say to grandfather just now? To make him this angry? Don’t tell you brought up the band thing again."
"It wasn’t about the band..." Jordan Thompson hastily ruffled his hair, causing so frizzy strands to stick up.
But the next second, Jordan felt the killing intent coming from Mr. Thompson’s direction and then, with a swish of his feet, prepared to make a quick escape.
"Let’s talk about this so other day, I need to run for my life now, sis."
