Prilly enters her residence in an annoyed step, she throws her bag over the sofa then searches for her children in their playroom, sure enough that Grace is putting together a puzzle there at Alexander's company, but Jovita, William and Leonel were not there.
“Mommy!” grace saw her mother standing in the doorway. “Mommy come here!” Grace waved her tiny hand.
Prilly crossed her arms over her chest and leaned her shoulders on the doorpost, her lips smiling sweetly.
“Mommy, come here!” calling Alexander in a soft voice, the look in his eyes was also very gentle and longing.
Prilly approaches the two men, and joined by Alexander and Grace, the three of them compose a Puzzle.
“Mommy, from anywhere?” ask Alexander.
“Mommy, meet aunty Anne and have coffee,” answered Prilly.
“Oh yes? Does Mommy miss Daddy?” alexander Goda.
“No, Mommy doesn't miss Daddy,” Prilly replied in a poignant tone.
“Really?” that's Grace's voice. “Mommy last night looking at a photo of Daddy.”
“Really?” Alexander asked Grace with an enthusiastic tone.
Grace nodded.
“Grace, from now on Mommy doesn't want to read a fairy tale to you.” Threatens Prilly to her daughter, whom she considers a traitor.
“Daddy will read to me if Mommy won't read,” Grace replied lightly.
“Alright, Daddy will read to you,” Alexander said triumphantly.
“Alex, go home!” prilly said in a poignant tone, she was very upset that she could never win against Alexander, especially now that her daughter was allied with her husband.
Alexander shifts his seat and approaches Prilly and steals a kiss at his wife's temple. “I miss you,” whispered.
Prilly glared fiercely at Alexander even though his face looked red.
“You must miss me too, right?” whispered Alexander again.
Prilly did not reply, pretending to concern himself with unloading the puzzle and ruffling it into disarray.
“Mommy, you ruined my puzzle!” Grace raised her protest.
“Daddy will compile it again,” says Prilly. “And Daddy will not come back until all these puzzles are arranged again,” he said while damaging all the puzzles that have been arranged.
Alexander chuckled at Prilly's behavior. “Daddy will stay here, Grace do you want to sleep with daddy? Daddy will sleep in your room if you want,” asked Alexander, what a cliche.
“Daddy, really?”
Alexander nodded.
“Horeee!” Grace exclaimed happily.
Alexander kisses Grace's head and steals back a kiss on Prilly's cheek.
Not long after the sound of William and Leonel shouting while running, the two boys came with Jovita carrying so many snacks. Prilly immediately shunned Alexander, “mommy will see our dinner preparations in the kitchen,” Prilly said as she got up and got out of the playroom and walked towards the kitchen.
They had a boisterous dinner with the sound of the children while Prilly, as usual, was quieter, he ate quietly as his tail occasionally glanced at Alexander who occasionally cut food for Grace and sometimes fed the little girl, it seemed like Alexander did like the little girl, he used to take care of little Prilly and treat Prilly like a sister to his sister, and now he also loves Grace very much, perhaps being born as an only child makes her soul lonely and Prilly hadith completes the loneliness in her life.
Every move of Alexander's growl sitting in front of him really brings Prilly to remember his childhood with the delightful Alexander, although he was cold and stiff, he never let the timid and shy Prilly be lonely. He always accompanies wherever Prilly wants, such as to the park, buy a book he likes, or just go to the library, he also always helps Prilly do his schoolwork.
The good Alexander, and his kindness was never seen in Prilly's eyes, unknowingly looking at Grace and Alexander with wandering minds, it was as if he saw himself being cared for by Alexander in the past.
“Mommy, do you want to be bribed by Daddy too?” asked Grace to throw out Prilly's daydream.
Prilly stiffened, he hurriedly stuffed his food into his mouth and chewed it.
“Daddy, Mommy wants to be bribed by you,” said Grace plainly.
‘Who does this kid look like? Why so annoying?!’ inner Prilly wanted to cry as well as wanting to laugh.
Alexander calmly took his food with a spoon and fed it to Prilly, leaving Prilly helpless, he was forced to swallow the food in her mouth and opened her mouth to take a bribe from her husband.
Alexander then took the food back from his plate and fed it to Jovita.
‘Fair men!’ inner Prilly wanted to laugh but was also jealous.
Prilly was eager to kick Alexander's leg from under the table but because his legs were short of course he could not reach out, understanding that, Alexander nudged prilly's foot slowly and a triumphant cheeky grin made Prilly narrow her eyes in vengeance.
After dinner, Prilly immediately went into her room, while Jovita was with Grace and Alexander in Grace's room, this was not the first time Alexander and Jovita slept in the mansion, Back when Mike had just disappeared, Alexander immediately put up a body to accompany the three children Prilly and of course Jovita followed wherever her husband went including staying at the residence of the ex-wife of her husband.
In the room where Alexander was reading a fairy tale to Grace.
"In ancient times in a land far away, a just king and queen were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. They named their daughter Aurora, because the princess was like the light of dawn for their lives. Visitors from all over the kingdom came to celebrate the birth of the princess, including the three good fairies. Waving their magic wand, Flora gave the princess a gift of beauty, while Fauna gave her a beautiful voice. Merryweather was about to give his grace when the evil elf Malfoy appeared in a flash of green fire. He also wanted to give something to the princess - a terrible curse! Before sunset on her sixteenth birthday, Aurora will be pricked by a needle and die!"
Alexander stopped while taking a breath.
“What Aurora will die?” Grace asked.
“No he just fell asleep, princess Aurora will wake up.” Alexander replied.
“Wake? How to?”
"Yes, if he gets a kiss from his true love."
“Who is Aurora's true love?”
“It's too late, tomorrow we continue the fairy tale, you have to sleep Grace.”
“Why don't we sleep in Mommy's room, Mommy's better than you at storytelling. Daddy, you have to learn from Mommy,” Grace said as she turned to face Alexander, the little girl turned her back to Jovita.
Jovita glanced at Alexander's flat expression, there was no sign of anything on his face.
“Sleep, tomorrow your mommy will continue her fairy tale.” Alexander kissed Grace's head and began rubbing the girl's back as he closed his eyes.
