Michaels eyes darkened when he saw the other party claim to be the mother of two adorable children, and he did not respond. His Secretary was stunned at first, but soon calmed down. Actually he had long been accustomed to his behaviors.
Back to Lilian.
Egbert carried the used dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen while Sylvia grabbed a clean towel and removed her shoes, intending to step onto a chair and assist Lilian in cleaning the table.
"Sylvia, just let mommy do it."
Lilian took the cloth from her and lifted Sylvia up with one hand at the same time. A dissatisfied expression appeared on little Sylvia's face after she failed to wipe the table.
"But I want to be Mommy's helper."
"Sylvia you're a good girl. Mommy knows you love me, but you're still young. How about helping mommy when you grow up abit?"
Lilian reached out and tapped Sylvia's small and delicate nose after speaking. Upon hearing this Sylvia opened her big, round eyes. With her milky white gown. She looked as soft and fluffy as a fresh cooked, particularly fluffy and soft sponge cake.
She appeared to be thinking of what Lilian had said and only nodded her head firmly after giving it some thought.
"Alright. When I grow up, I will undoubtedly assist mommy with a great deal of work."
"Sure, then mommy and Sylvia agreed on that. Now go play by yourself."
"Um, mommy, kiss."
Sylvia pointed to her own forehead. Lilian couldn't help but smile, and she Lowery her head to give a kiss on Sylvia's little baby's smooth forehead, then Sylvia turned around and left satisfied.
Egbert noticed the scene as he walked out of the kitchen, and a twinkle of envy flashed in his eyes. He took small steps up to Lilian's side, remaining silent.
When Lilian lowered her head to wipe the table, she noticed Egbert standing nearby, looking at her with a thoughtful expression.
He kept his lips tightly closed and appeared to be a small adult. After a moment of hesitation, she also lowered her head and kissed his forehead.
"Go and play with your sister."
Egbert who was feeling a little down, brightened up after receiving a kiss on the forehead from Lilian. Despite his joy, he only curled the corners of his lips slightly and then left.
Lilian thought for someone for some reason when she looked at his back. Egbert, that child really resembled someone from her memory. In her memory, that person was also like this, not expressing his happiness very openly.One wouldn't have been able to tell his emotions if he hadn't been carefully observed.
Indeed some genes had a deep impact. Egbert was an introverted and reserved individual. He didn't say much and frowned frequently just like his father.
Sylvia on the other hand, was incredibly gregarious, active and food- loving. She had bright eyes and a loud cry, and had eaten more than anyone else since birth.
Lilian had even had the sneaking suspicion that Sylvia was the sole cause of her binge eating during pregnancy.
Despite the fact that the two siblings were born at the same time, Egbert became the older brother, while Sylvia had successful become the younger sister. Egbert had always taken special care of Sylvia, whether because of his position as an older brother, or because of his personality.
In case one of the two kids had been a breeze to care for, while the other had been a nightmare. Nonetheless, the arrival of these two children had brought Lilian's lonely life warmth and companionship. Thinking of this a slight curve had formed on Lilian's lips, which looked lovely.
Lilian glanced at the phone when it rang. June her best friend had called her. As she needed to wash the dishes, Lilian put the phone on the speaker and went into the kitchen while talking to June.
"Are you free?"
On the other end , June yawned and stretched before saying, "No, not yet."
"Then, why are you calling me if you are busy?"
"Ugh, I just wanted to ask how you're doing and if you've given any more thought about going back to your country."
