The corner of the screen only captured a blurry silhouette of a. female for a few seconds before the slender figure vanished. At the same time there were footsteps of two little running towards the female.
"mommy"
"Mommy, you are back? you worked hard today mommy."
The two little toddlers were very thoughtful, asking the woman all kinds of thoughtful and caring questions. Because they were very far away they could only hear the woman's voice faintly in fragments that were not very clear.
The two toddlers returned to the screen shortly after.
"Mister, Misses, big brother and big sisters, our mommy is back
We will end the broadcast here for today."
Egbert returned and explained something to the screen. His twin sister began making heart shapes towards the screen again beside him.
"Bye,bye."
The people in the live room were a little disappointed. After all, the two toddlers broadcast only once or twice a week. The broadcast was coming to an end today after only a short while. Although they were reluctant, they still said goodbye to the two children.
The screen turned black indicating that the live stream had ended. Michael stared at his phone in a daze for a moment.
Inside a medium, sized house with a decor that leaned towards eastern style
"Mommy! mommy!"
After ending the live stream, the two children voluntarily snuggled up on either side of Lilian, opening their small hands to hug her and greedily inhaling the unique scent of shower gel that belonged to her.
"Did you turn off the live stream." Lilian spoke up with a voice as clear as a spring, pure and blight.
"Hmm." Sylvia nuzzled her check against Lilian's neck and chin, humming softly and acting coquettishly. Egbert glanced at her younger sister and then spoke in a relatively composed manner.
"Mommy that person has sent many gifts again today."
Lilian was taken a back briefly.
"Was it from Michael's again?"
"I passed Mommy's message to him".
Egbert said nodding and pursed his lips. upon hearing this, Lilian reached out and ruffled Egbert's hair with a gentle smile.
"Forget it. Just let him do what he wants."
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat today?" As soon as Sylvia, who had a foodie personality heard this she immediately started listing her favorite dishes.
"Mommy, I want to eat fried shrimps today and also a dessert after dinner." Lilian turned to Egbert and asked.
"And you Egbert? What do you want to eat?
"Mommy I am okay with anything."
His thoughts were simple if he listed his preferred dishes, she would have to make an extra dish. Despite his desire to assist, he and Sylvia were still too young and she refused to let them onto the kitchen.
Lilian looked at Egbert and sighed softly.
" Are you worried that mommy will be too tired Egbert,? Don't worry, mommy doesn't have to work tonight, so I only have to make dinner."
"No, thanks not it,"
Although Egbert was a bit more mature than Sylvia, at the end of the day he was still a child. A child's thoughts are completely transparent in front of adults and can be seen through at a glance.
"Alright, mommy will go make dinner. You guys can have some free time, give mommy an hour okay."
"Thanks mommy you are the best."
Without any mental burden , Sylvia gave Lilian a kiss and went back to her room to play with her dolls.
After calling both kids to their rooms, Lilian tied up her waist length hair and put on an apron before going into the kitchen.
For the past few years, she had been taking care of the children all by herself. As a single parent, she wanted to do as much as possible for her two children, just like her father had raised her. Apart from working hours, she spent all the remaining time with her children, trying to make up for the other missing parent.
After cooking, she logged in the platform and found the account of Michael. She wanted to know who he is. He has given too much gifts , she decided to follow his account. He just silently watches the live streams, silently gave gifts and never asked for anything in return.
"Hello, I'm Egbert and Sylvia's mother. May I ask how to address you, can we have a chat?"
Mainly she wanted to return all the money he had sent. The other party did not respond after the message was sent. She guessed maybe he is busy.
