The Exchanged Bride
Bonus Chapter - Exchanging

The day goes on. Aiden and Haira are still enjoying their roles as parents.

That afternoon they were sitting in the back garden with their two children. But something is strange. The twins behaved differently than usual.

"Darling, let's watch our two children's behavior. Something seems wrong." Aiden looked at his two children with a full gaze.

"Wrong how? They behave normally. Harry was playing with his bike. And William's playing with his puzzle." Haira looked at her two sons in turn.

"It's not so, honey. Don't focus on their toys. But focus on their faces."

"Their face? It's the same, though."

"That's not what I meant. Look, Harry was playing a bike, but his face was so flat. He was eagerly pedaling a bicycle but his face was like one who wanted to fall."

"Totally so." Haira looked at Harry's face closely. It turned out to be true, there was no look of joy on her face.

Now Harry got off his bike and jumped but with a flat face. It's weird, isn't it? Where there are people having fun with that flat face.

"See William. Since then he had difficulty putting together a puzzle that only had ten pieces. Usually he will do it in a matter of minutes. But this, he had only completed two puzzle pieces within an hour. Weird, right?"

"You're right, honey. William has been scrambling his hair like he's been having trouble breaking things." Haira.

"Then let's prove that the two of them are not exchanging."

"Exchange?" Haira looked at wonder.

"Yes, use their faces to outwit us."

Aiden walked up to William who was playing a puzzle. "Harry!"

"Yes, Dad! Uh, it means Harry's having fun." William answered.

"What are you doing? Why so long?"

"I'm finishing this puzzle piece, Dad."

"You want to cheat Mom and Dad, yeah." Aiden looked at William.

"No, Dad. We're not cheating."

"Then why exchange?"

"No, we don't exchange."

"Oh yeah? Do we need to bet?" Aiden offers.

"Bet what, Dad?"

"If you're proven to deceive Mom and Dad, then you're gonna have to do the exercise you gave me."

"And if we're right, Dad and Mom should take us to Mom's grandparents' hometown."

"Huh? But it's very far. But all right, you're gonna lose."

"Deal!" Aiden shook William's hand.

"Now prove to Dad that you didn't trade."

"Father just look at this mole over my lips is real or fake." William pointed at his mole.

Aiden holds William's mole, but it turns out it's completely real.

"No, not just that. Now tell Daddy. How many times have you hidden a retort with a bad grade."

"That's Harry, Dad. I wasn't. I never hide bad grades because I never get bad grades. Father doesn't remember?"

"And tell me, what happened yesterday at 3pm."

"My dad and I ate my mom's chocolate donut secretly in our playroom."

"No, it could've been you guys sharing the know."

"Then you want proof, what else?"

"Say where's your birthmark? Only William knows because it's his disgrace."

"In the groin. Slightly widened to anu."

Aiden was shocked to hear William's words.

"If this is really you, why are you guys exchanging?"

"We didn't exchange identities, Dad. We just want to test the people around us, whether they are suspicious of us or not. I am William. But in this case, I want to be like Harry when he plays a game he doesn't like. And vice versa. Harry wanted to be like me when I played a game I didn't like."

"There are you guys. You managed to make Dad and Mom fooled." Aiden rubbed William's head.

"As Father promised. We're going to grandma's and grandpa's hometown!" harry shouted while hugging Aiden's back who was still crouching.

"Can't do it, son. That's a long way off."

"Dad promised. Be the man who keeps his promise. Otherwise, we'd assume Dad wasn't a real man."

"You guys are so cruel. Yeah, I'll schedule our departure this week. And because of the sudden, Dad had to finish Dad's work immediately so that Dad's deputy didn't bother too much when Dad left." Aiden went to his study. Leaving William and Harry cheering in joy.

"Yeahyyy! The holiday! Good thing we're on odd semester break. So no need to worry.

"How are the kids?" asked Haira who came to them.

"Success, Mom. Dad's been caught in our trap."

"Good! You guys are so smart. Don't do this to anyone else, yeah. And this trap is pretty first and last you do. Because it's not good. Mom did this because she had to. Your father's been hard on vacation anywhere." Haira rubbed the heads of her two children in turn.

"Good, Mom." Both of them are back to playing as usual. Harry with his boisterous laughter, and Wiliam with his flat expression.

Haira felt satisfied, because he finally managed to make Aiden invite her to his hometown family vacation. Incidentally, there's already built a Villa gift from Dean and Resya. So, when they get there, they do not need to find lodging anymore.
