When Laurent and Howard returned home, Winnip, Fali and Faur were already there.
"Dad, why are you back so early? Where's Chen? Did he not come back with you?"
"Err... He said that he wasn't feeling well and left first. Is he not home yet?" Laurent's look was drifting away.
Winnip glanced at Laurent. Having lived together for so many years, she knew from Laurent's look that something was wrong.
"Laurent, what did you do again?"
"What? I don't understand. I'm a bit tired. I'm going to rest in the bedroom."
Winnip looked at Laurent. After all, it was his birthday. She did not want to put Laurent in a difficult position before his daughters.
Soon, Chen Zhao came back carrying a cake.
"Chen, why are you only back now?"
"I went to buy Laurent a cake," Chen Zhao said, smiling.
"Did Laurent make another trap for you today?"
