[Shout out to King BABA, Madlad, and Ecokane 0!]
Since it was still early and cold outside, I brought the children back right away. Washing their faces with cold water would give them cold.
Anyway, when we got back, Penelope was already dressed up. A simple T-shirt and pants, nothing much.
But in my eyes, my wife is as beautiful as ever. I smiled and approached her.
"Honey, don't look at me like that." She giggled.
"What did I do?" I was confused as I hugged her from behind.
"You're looking at me like you're going to eat me." She whispered in my ear and I almost shuddered. I wanted to jump on her and rip her clothes off.
Unfortunately, the kids were watching and it was early in the morning. I have to control myself.
Maybe the Pill I took yesterday made me "stronger". It seems to have a long-lasting effect.
I hugged her tighter and kissed her ear. She giggled and pushed me away.
"Hm, stay close to Simeon and your parents."
They were the people I knew best and trusted. Unlike her other siblings, I felt safe when Penelope was with Simeon and her parents.
"I know. I will try to stay away from Señorita."
Penelope checked the children and nodded when she found their faces clean.
"Mommy, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the village hall."
"What's village hawl? Is it a bweautiful place, Mommy?"
Sophia was still a young girl and didn't know much. She always asked us when she was confused about something.
"No, sweetie. I think the village hall is a boring place. We don't usually go there unless we are sick and need medicine. If the families have a problem, the village captain will try to help them solve the problem."
"Then why are you going, Mommy? Is it because of Aunt Señowita?"
Sophia's face became sad, remembering what happened last night.
"Sweetheart... No, it's not because of that."
"I have to go there so you can have food and toys. You want toys, right? Mommy will have money to buy you toys."
Penelope giggled and pinched her cheeks.
"Weally?" Her eyes brightened.
Sophia's cute face had an excited expression. She was obviously happy to hear that she would receive toys.
"Can I go, Mommy? I want to be with you."
That might be exhausting...
Penelope looked at me, then back at Sophia.
"Sweetie, you're getting heavy. Mommy can't carry you for much longer. You can spend time with Daddy instead. Don't you love Daddy? You said you always miss Daddy."
Oh God, thank you for giving me the chance to hear my daughter's love for me. This life has been worth it.
I understood that once a girl grows up, she will slowly grow away from her parents and become an adult. Until that time comes, I want to show my daughter that Daddy loves her.
"That's right. You can play with Daddy.
"Then I will stay with Dajjy."
"You're my sweet, good girl. Mommy loves you~ My princess smells good!"
Penelope started kissing her face, showering her with love.
"Hehe, I wuv you too Mommy!" Sophia giggled as Penelope drowned her in kisses.
... I actually feel jealous.
Suddenly I felt someone tug on my shirt and I looked down. I found Roman standing next to me, pulling at the hem of my shirt.
This was quite surprising. I had not expected Roman to say it to me.
"What? Do you want me to kiss you? Is that why you told me that?" I joked.
I laughed and rubbed his head and ruffled his hair.
He looked at me and let me ruffle his hair.
"Dad, I don't want any kisses from you. You look old and fat, I prefer beautiful women like Mom to kiss me."
As expected from my son. His preference was not so bad.
In fact, I want my wife to kiss me too.
Nevertheless, I bent down and kissed his head. As a man, I knew very well that Roman would grow up and never let me kiss him again, not even on the head.
It is what it is. Even me, I never want my father to kiss me too... That would be gay, right?
"Dad, don't ever do that again. It gives me goosebumps. You've already messed up my hair, and now you want to kiss me? You're not a good guy at all."
Men don't like kissing men, unless they swing in the opposite direction.
Roman watched as the mother and daughter cuddled.
"You're jealous, aren't you? Go on, you can join your Mom and sister."
Roman nodded and walked away from me to join his mother.
"Roman, my good boy. You are really handsome!"
"Mom, don't pinch my cheeks. You make my cheeks red."
"Is it because you are blushing?"
"No, Mom. It's obviously because you pinched my cheeks so hard."
Despite the grumbling, Roman was having fun playing with them.
I watched them play and a smile just formed on my face. Just watching them having fun was enough to make me feel blessed.
That's why, as a father, I have to work hard to protect their smiles.
"Penelope, everyone is ready. Let's go."
A few minutes later, Corazon came in and called Penelope.
"Mommy, take care! I wuv you!"
"I will, baby... Honey, are you okay?"
Before she left, she kissed me on the lips. I almost licked her lips, but that kind of smooching would be inappropriate for the kids to see.
"Hm, take care." I said.
We followed them to the entrance and watched them leave. Because they were too many, they didn't use Simeon's tricycle. The tricycle could only hold six people at most.
"Be safe, Gwandma and Gwandpa! I wuv you!"
Sophia waved at them.
"Bye, aunts and uncles!"
"Aww, what a cute little girl."
No one could resist Sophia's cuteness.
