Rays of morning sun seeped through the curtains and shimmered on Carla's face to wake her up.
She slowly opened her eyes and gazed out the window with her eyes half-closed.
The weather was fine, and the sunlight was gentle. Besides, birds were chirping outside to usher in a brand new day.
Carla closed her eyes quietly for a few seconds before she rose to her feet.
Over the past two years, she had developed a good habit—she would wake up as soon as the first ray of the sunlight cast on her.
Usually, she would start her day by training before having breakfast. After that, she would do some reading and deal with some tasks.
However, the first thing that came to her mind now was to keep her children company.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
Suddenly, Little Dori flew into the room while flapping her wings and landed on Carla's shoulder.
"Good morning, Little Dori!" Carla said as she buttoned up her shirt before the floor mirror. "Have the kids gotten out of bed?"
"Gotten out. Gotten out, " Little Dori said while shaking her tiny head.
"Okay. Let's have breakfast."
Carla left the room with Little Dori after rolling her long hair up.
"Good morning, Ms. Lierger!" the maid greeted Carla courteously.
"Good morning." While walking toward the children's room, Carla said, "please prepare breakfast."
"Well…" The maid's expression turned awkward.
"Mommy!" Suddenly, Josh called Carla from downstairs.
Carla turned around and saw Josh dressed in a piggy apron and holding hot cross bunnies on a plate. He came out of the kitchen and gazed at Carla with a grin on his face. "Come and have breakfast."
"Josh, why are you-"
Before Carla could finish, Randy also exited the kitchen while holding dessert on a plate. Also, he looked cute with some flour on his nose.
"Mommy, breakfast is ready!"
"Did you guys make breakfast?"
Carla was stupefied in place.
"Yes, we learn to make breakfast with Mrs. Bolistin and Daddy!" Randy explained with a smile.
As Carla was bewildered, Zayn came out of the kitchen as well.
His plain Whyte shirt made him look particularly handsome and charming. Besides, he looked friendlier with some flour on his face.
"Good morning!" Zayn greeted Carla. "Come downstairs and have breakfast."
"You…" Carla was shocked to see that he cooked. Am I seeing things?
"Mommy!" Just then, Venus also chimed in.
Carla turned around and saw Freda pushing Venus, who sat on a wheelchair, out of the bedroom. Also, Hapilia followed them and put a jacket on Venus.
"Venus!" Carla came up to her and asked, "How are you? Do you feel better?"
"Yes, I feel better, " Venus nodded and added smilingly, "Mommy, it's so good to see all of us together as soon as we get up from bed!"
Meanwhile, Carla felt touched upon hearing it. Yes. It feels so warm when our family reunites, but…
Carla came back to her senses and said smilingly, "Venus, can you go downstairs with Hapilia? I'll ask Dr. Feroma to join us."
"Sure."
Given that Dr. Feroma was an elder who saved her family, Carla respected him very much.
Hence, she wished to greet Dr. Feroma and help him go downstairs to have breakfast together.
Dr. Feroma was aged and became weaker after he met an accident two years ago. He decided to leave his house on a hill only because he wished to repay the debts to Chad.
Zayn was right—no one could ever invite him successfully except the Wigston family.
"Dr. Feroma!"
Randy and Josh stood up and bowed to greet Dr. Feroma once they saw him.
Meanwhile, Venus also lowered her head and bowed even though she couldn't stand up.
"Good morning, kids." Dr. Feroma was fond of the three kids. He heaved a sigh and added, "They are indeed well-mannered."
"Thank you for the compliment." Zayn pulled up the chair and helped Dr. Feroma sit on it.
"Dr. Feroma was complimenting me." Carla shot Zayn a cold glance.
