The atmosphere inside the dining table seemed very warm and they felt they belonged to each other.
Daniel felt happy to be amid Jenni and the others.
'Can I feel this way any longer?' Daniel's monologue to himself.
It never crossed his mind that he wanted to part with Jenni again, moreover, he could see Jaden who he thought was like a small version of himself.
"Daddy, can't we have a picnic today?" Jaden asked suddenly as he felt an atmosphere not much different from Daniel's.
All eyes naturally turned to look at Jaden, the only little boy there.
"Fine, if Jaden likes it, then Daddy will."
Jenny just gave a small smile. It's just that she certainly remembers well that the gallery she just opened, of course, can't just leave it, she has to check one by one whether her paintings are sold out or not.
"Mmm, can Mommy take care of the gallery for a while, if there is no problem, then we will have a picnic today, but if there is a problem, can't we back off? Ah ... how long have you been here, Niel?" Jenni whispered to Jaden, finally looking at Daniel.
Jaden pursed his lips, he felt a little disappointed because his mother did not immediately approve his proposal.
Daniel who realized Jaden's feelings immediately stroked his son's hair gently.
"If Mommy can't, what if today is the day we go on a date together? Besides, Mommy must have had more time alone with you than Daddy, right? So today is Daddy's day or if you want to take Uncle Edward and Uncle Axelle too. They're can join us," said Daniel trying to restore the mood of his son who previously felt a little disappointed.
Jaden seemed to think for a moment about Daniel's sentence which he thought sounded reasonable to him.
After considering the decision for a long time, Jaden looked at Daniel for a moment, and after that, he looked at Jenni.
"Mommy can I just play with Daddy alone? Tomorrow we'll just have a picnic together when Mommy isn't busy?" asked the boy politely.
According to Jaden, whatever the conditions, he must remain with his mother so as not to disappoint the woman, after all, Jenni is the number one person who will always be in his heart.
Jenni gave Jaden a nod, there was no way she could refuse her son's reasonable request, especially since Daniel had helped him so that Jaden wouldn't be too disappointed with her.
"Thank you," Jenni said slowly, looking at Daniel, and Daniel nodded his head in return.
Jaden who was too happy reflexively jumped from his chair, immediately ran to hug his mother, and soon hugged his father.
He was delighted to hear the answer from his mother.
"If you have finished eating your breakfast, you should get ready after this, right?" Daniel whispered to Jaden.
Jaden enthusiastically agreed with Daniel's words and did what Daniel just said.
As Jaden ran to his room, Jenni looked at Daniel.
"Where are you going?"
"Secret."
That's the only word Daniel said to Jenni.
"Ugh, you're irritating."
Only a stifled laugh escaped Daniel's lips.
"If I tell you later you won't be concentrating on your work, so you better just trust me that Jaden will be fine, after all this is an important time in my opinion as my apology to him because since he was born I couldn't accompany him until he is now."
"Do you think so?" Jenni asked to make sure Daniel that she didn't bother Daniel about Jaden's presence.
"Of course Jen," Daniel replied.
'I have to make an impression that Jaden will always remember.'

"Honey," said a girl who immediately hugged her husband from behind.
"What's wrong honey? You're not like this normally, is there something bothering you?" asked Michael who felt a little strange about his wife's attitude.
Kylie was silent for a moment and looked at Michael, her husband, who seemed to understand her.
"It's been a while since Lily was born, how about we take a vacation?" Kylie whispered, which Michael did not expect in the slightest.
'What's with her? How come she asked for something like this? Is it time for our family to take a vacation? Wouldn't she rather be at home and relaxed as she is now?' Michael's monologue in his heart.
"Honey?" Kylie whispered back after not getting the response she expected from Michael.
Michael did not immediately answer the request of his wife. He chose to stare at his wife's face for a long time, making sure whether Kylie meant it or not.
"Ah, are you sure that's a request from you?"
A low hum could be heard from Kylie's lips. The girl was determined to say yes to what she wanted.
"Well, if that's your wish then I'll comply."
Soon, Kylie, who looked happy, immediately ran to her room and took her cellphone which was lying on her dressing table.
"Here, I've bought it, and tonight we will leave, so we should pack today, you calm down, I've also asked Daddy's permission so that you are allowed to take a week off."
Thump!
Since when did Kylie prepare everything? Had he not heard wrong? Or had Kylie been keeping it tight all this time so she wouldn't tell Michael what she wanted?
Things like that that immediately swirled in Michael's head.
Oh, come on how is it possible in no time Kylie prepared it herself?
"Woah, looks like you've been planning it for a long time without my knowledge," Michael whispered, quite amazed by his wife's request, as well as the way the girl conveyed her wishes.
Kylie chuckled softly and told Michael she had it all done in one day.
Again Michael can only be stunned by Kylie's narrative alone.
"What about Lily, is she allowed to travel far?" asked Michael who was a little doubtful about it.
"Don't worry, Lily is two years old, and I've also called Lily's special doctor, since I just had Lily's routine check-up two days ago, it's easier for doctor Phill to decide whether Lily is okay with going on vacation or vice versa."
"Then how did it go?" asked Michael, curious about what Kylie had to say.
"Of course, Lily is allowed, and that's why I'm asking you for a vacation."
A long sigh was heard from Michael's lips. Like it or not, the young man just agreed to his wife's request.
'You take it easy Axelle, leave everything to your brother, I will persuade him smoothly so that he doesn't realize that I brought him to the place that you gave me.'
'You are there, dear.'

"Good morning, Miss Jenni, it looks like your face looks more radiant today," said Ferly, who immediately welcomed Jenni who had just come to the gallery.
Jenni held her cheek and gave Ferly a big smile, and said that Ferly seemed to have seen her wrong because she felt the same as before.
Ferly quickly shook her head. The reason is that the girl is indeed very detailed when looking at each person's appearance, and because of that she can say that.
"Don't tease me like that," Jenni said in the end not wanting to continue her words any further, because honestly in her own little heart she realized that what Ferly saw was none other than the effect of her forgiving herself, and at the same time she was able to make peace with the situation, and again tried to open his heart that had long hardened.
'Gosh, why did Daniel's effect have such a big impact on me.' Jenni's monologue in her heart realized the biggest reason that could change her.
Not wanting to argue with the coachman with Ferly, Jenni chose to go to her own study, and asked Ferly to show the data of the painting that she previously exhibited at the gallery.
Ferly professionally nodded her head, and told Jenni that he would bring the list to Jenni in her room.
"Okay, I'm waiting for it."
Without further ado, Jenni continued to walk towards where she was going.
.
.
"What are they doing right now?" Jenni whispered suddenly without realizing she was thinking about her son and Daniel.
"You mean Miss?" asked Ferly who did not understand what Jenni's words meant.
Jenni quickly shook her head, and told Ferly that she wasn't thinking about anything.
"Ah, so you're saying there are only five paintings left that haven't been sold in the past few days?"
Ferly gave Jenni a quick nod.
"Woah, I didn't think that everything would be a side dish so quickly."
"This is a good debut step Miss, so after this Miss's name will rise rapidly to become a great painter."
"You praise me too much Ferly," said Jenni a little condescendingly. She doesn't want to be satisfied so quickly, because her gallery debut is just a starting point for her future success.
"I'm not just praising Miss, but this is an expression from my heart."
"Thank you."
