Mrs. Walton tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She simply got up and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
The night passed, and many people did not wake up early the next day. George was fine. He was used to sleeping late and waking up early, so he still woke up.
Mr. Walton was refreshed as he drank tea from the tea jar. He scolded with a straight face, "Eric isn't up yet? William and Lucas too. Have they learned to sleep in from Harper? Where's Alex?"
George took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself and said, "I went for a run."
Mr. Walton snorted. "Andrew went to the emergency department again in the middle of the night last night, right?" It was understandable that he woke up late, but the other children were in their prime. All of them were sleeping in.
George didn't even look up. "Mia didn't get up either."
Mr. Walton's mouth moved. "It doesn't matter if Mia doesn't get up. Girls—"
