ONLINE NOVEL XO Chapter 612 You Can't Be Soft
"Mommy, you've lost weight." Mia held Sadie's face, concerned. "Is it because you don't have Mia around that your appetite has been bad?" "Yes, I see Mia now, and my appetite will improve." Sadie kissed Mia's chubby cheeks, her eyes glistening with tears but a gentle smile on her lips. "Mommy, Brenda just made fresh chocolate toast. I'll go get it for you." Nathan hurriedly ran to the kitchen to bring something for Sadie to eat. Watching his agile steps, Sadie asked, "Is your foot better, Nathan?"
"He has been fine for a long time. Now he can bounce and jump around, full of energy." Noah hastily reported to his mother, "Mommy, I've helped Daddy develop a new software. Daddy said he wants to register a patent with my name." "Noah, you are amazing," Sadie exclaimed as she hugged Noah. "I am so proud of you!"
"Mommy." Noah hugged Sadie, his eyes reddening, "Please don't leave us again. We were afraid you wouldn't come back."
"Yeah, yeah, we were planning to run away from home and find you at the hospital," Mia blurted out, quickly covering her little mouth with chubby hands.
"Run away from home, run away from home!" Coco repeated Mia's words, fluttering its wings and flying around Sadie's head.
"Run away from home?" Sadie was terrified. "You must never do that! Mommy was at the hospital getting treatment, but I'm back now, right?"
"We could have accompanied you during your treatment and taken care of you." Noah frowned, sadly saying, "You were gone for a whole month, and we missed you so much."
"Mommy, you promised us you wouldn't leave us again." Mia pouted, almost crying, "Mommy, you don't keep your promises!"
"It's not like that..." Sadie didn't know how to explain to the children.
"Mommy, your chocolate toast is here!" Nathan exclaimed as he hurriedly carried a plate loaded with several slices of chocolate toast toward her.
"Chocolate toast, chocolate toast!" Coco flew over immediately upon seeing the food.
"Coco, wait. Let Mommy eat first," Nathan shooed Coco away with his hand and then placed the chocolate toast in front of Sadie. "Mommy, have some more!"
"Thank you, Nathan!" Sadie fondled Nathan's head and ate the chocolate toast with her three children.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Clemens senior furrowed his brow. He knew how deep the children's bond with their mother was, but seeing these moments firsthand did touch his heart somewhat.
To prevent himself from getting moved, Mr. Clemens senior averted his gaze and gestured for Silas to lead him away.
"Grandpa, are you leaving now?" Micah immediately came over to send him off, "Won't you stay and have a meal together?"
"No need!" Mr. Clemens senior had a stern face, not even bothering to look at him.
"Great-grandpa is leaving. Let's go and see him off," Sadie reminded the children.
Mia held Mr. Clemens senior's hand and pleaded, "Great-grandpa, don't leave. Have dinner with us."
Mia's voice was as sweet as candy, leaving a warm feeling in anyone who heard it.
Mr. Clemens senior immediately smiled and softened his gaze. "Great-grandpa is going home, but next time, I will take you all out to eat."
"No, no." Mia pouted and swayed Mr. Clemens senior's hand.
"Great-grandpa, you should have your meal here. Brenda's cooking is delicious," Nathan insisted, gesturing with his tiny fists. "After dinner, you can join us in the garden. My foot has healed, so I can show you my martial arts skills." "Yes, you wanted to see the new software I've been working on, right?" Noah held Mr. Clemens senior's other hand and said, "After dinner, I can show it to you!"
