章節 22: Chapter 22; Good morning Sixth Master Huo
"All right, I will read a story now." She gently caressed their cheeks.
"Once upon a time, a widowed woman was living in Soweto village and had given birth to two children who were twins; one was a boy, and the other one was a girl.
A boy was blessed with smartness and intelligence, so, when it came to performance, the boy performed better than the girl in academics. The mother began being attentive to the boy and neglected the girl....." It didn't take long before the kids fell asleep, since she was too exhausted and moving would wake them up, she also fell asleep as they closely snuggled into each other's arms.
Sixth Master Huo, who had been earlier on left in the dining room, had moved over to the sitting area, hoping they would come down once they were done with whatever took them upstairs, but no, it's been an hour already, and they hadn't returned.
He got up and strode through the stairs over to the first-floor corridor that led him into their bedroom; he carefully opened the bedroom door. He couldn't see them in the sitting area, so he went over to the bigger bedroom and slightly opened the door; from the door, he could see all of them snuggled in bed.
"You brats! You can't wish me good night?" He softly grumbled, walking into the bedroom, dragging the bed cover, and tucking them nicely.
The weather was cold so he regulated the heater to keep the room warm. Switched the dim lights on interchangeably with the bright lights. He made sure all the windows were closed and curtains drawn.
He got over to the bed, bent over, and pecked their forehead, kissing each one of them. His eyes lingered around Tang Fei's face and gently caressed it moving the hair fringes to the back of her ears.
"I hope you have truly changed! The kids need you, and I need you; I hope you will see and feel how much I love you and the kids love and adore you! Don't betray and disappoint them anymore, they are too fragile! We all want to live such a simple and fruitful life." He softly muttered, but Tang Fei, who had woken up from the moment he got into the bedroom, heard his little murmurs that slightly had hope and a sad tone.
She wanted to open her eyes and assure him that she had changed and acknowledged her mistakes, but she knew that wouldn't be the right response at the moment. He would begin to doubt her!
He kissed her cheek for the last time before leaving the bedroom and closing the door behind him. He walked through the sitting area exiting and closed the door.
He walked back to his bedroom, which was on the same floor. It was almost midnight, and the only thing he wanted to do was have some good rest.
Tang Fei, who hadn't slept until something like 3 in the morning, having things occupying her mind, finally fell asleep! It was a new environment; she had been an assassin her entire past life and could go an entire week without having a wink of sleep. It had become a norm, and now, being surrounded by the kids, she wasn't gonna be used to their presence so easily.

Monday Morning
It was Monday morning, and they hadn't woken up; Sixth Master Huo, who had flown out of the mansion at 4 in the morning, was also back in the mansion, but it was already 8 in the morning.
"Good morning Sixth Master Huo..." With their head bowed the maids greeted him while they cleaned the floor. This was their routine; they cleaned the entire place, and once they were done, they would move to the servant's quarters; he hated women roaming around his mansion while he was present.

章節 23: Chapter 23; Have they gone to school?
"Have they gone to school? Where is Missus?" He curiously queried while he strode over to the dining area to have his breakfast. He never misses any breakfast with his kids, but this time, something held him back for a few minutes, and he was late to join them for breakfast.
"We haven't seen them, Sixth Master Huo, and we haven't served them any breakfast! Even Missus hasn't been seen around here." They hurriedly responded, and before Huo Ting Cheng could sit down on the dining chair, he turned around and strode through the corridor over to the foot of the stairs. He took the stairs, and you could hear the heavy footsteps moving upstairs as the clank of his shoes could be heard.
He walked over to their bedroom door and opened the door, walked through the sitting area over to the bedroom door, opened and walked in only to hear snores coming from inside and they were still cuddled up as it was evening.
"Tang Fei..." His voice slightly sounded angered, and at the same time, he didn't want to be angry at her.
"Aah?" Tang Fei, who had been rudely awakened by that deep voice, immediately sat up, snapping her eyes open abruptly, and was welcomed by that angry face. The room still had dim lights turned on and it felt like it was still too early to wake up.
"Do you know what time it is? Do you know that today is Monday and the kids should be at school?" He was frustrated and couldn't understand how someone could lose a sense of time like that.
"Isn't it still too early?" She hoarsely inquired as the kids also woke from those sounds around them.
Huo Ting Cheng withdrew the curtains that were facing the fields. The sun was up and shining very brightly; this wasn't any longer earlier. They were already late for school, and the first lesson could be done by now.
"Why didn't you wake us up earlier if you woke up early? How about the maids? Why didn't anyone wake us up? You all did this to blame me?" She had overslept and she could only change the direction of the blame. It wasn't her fault that she overslept. She slept late and was bound to miss time.
She hopped off the bed with the kids, went into the washroom, and assisted them in cleaning their faces and mouths; they didn't have time to take a shower at the moment.
He slightly felt bad seeing her genuinely sad and rushing around the place confused. She could have overslept unknowingly.
Once they were done, they found their uniforms, while their mother found their school bags, making sure all their books were inside. Huo Ting Cheng could see how worried and rushing she was, so, he assisted her in taking care of the school bags while she cleaned her face and mouth.
"Are you done, kids?" She was so panicked and worried, the kids were late for school. This was already a bad image, she wanted the best for them, but not like this, and you could see how overwhelmed she was.
"The kids are already late! Take a deep breath!" Huo Ting Cheng began getting worried, seeing how her eyes watered silently as she tied the kids' hair as they had worn their uniforms.
"I'm trying to be a good mother, right? Why can't you guys give me a chance? Do you all really have to let me know I'm incompetent?" She was now trembling all over and Huo Zhihao completely felt heartbroken seeing his mother like this.
They all overslept, and it was their fault, too.
He hugged her tightly, "Mommy, don't get yourself worked up! You are already the best mother!" Huo Zhihao was the first one to assure her with lots and lots of kisses as always.
