“You're an amazing brother too, Connor,” Shane said as he patted the older boy's head.
Connor giggled.
“Come on, let's go. Your mommy's competition has started, so let's go to there to cheer
her on,” Shane said as he checked the time on his watch. “Silas, keep a close eye on
Connor and Sharon.”
“Don't worry, Mr. Thompson,” Silas replied, still holding onto one of the children.
Shane hummed in satisfaction. “Let's go now.”
The group of five then went into one of the luxury cars from the fleet of cars as the
passersby watched on curiously. They headed toward the competition hall.
Anders did not wake up during the journey. He was fast asleep.
Once in a while, Sharon would kiss Anders' cheek, absolutely enamored with her little
brother.
The entire time, Sharon was tempted to wake Anders to play with him.
She adored her little brother, but Anders was often ill, so he could not play with her for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlong. The only time she got to play with him was during the brief period he was awake.
But how could that be enough for her? Sharon wished she could play with her younger
brother all day.
Sadly, it was rare to catch her brother awake, so her wish had yet to be fulfilled.
“Daddy, we're here,” Connor blurted out as he pointed ahead.
Shane, who was by Sharon's side, lifted his head. Sure enough, they arrived at the
competition hall.
All of a sudden, Sharon widened her eyes at Anders and cried out in excitement, “Daddy,
Anders' awake!”
He's awake?
Shane lowered his head and met with the boy's dark, watery eyes.
A smile crept onto Shane's face as Anders opened and closed his mouth like a little
goldfish.
“Right?” Sharon smugly huffed. “I was the one who noticed it!”
“That's wonderful, Sharon. You're a great sister,” Shane praised dotingly, turning to
Sharon.
Connor took out two pieces of tissue to pass to Shane. “Here you go, Daddy. It's for
Anders. He's drooling again.”
“Okay.” Shane took the tissue and praised his elder son, “You're a good brother too,
Connor. You know how to care for your siblings.”
Even though Connor was mature, he was still a child. He turned red in the face when he
heard his father's compliments.
Still, he folded his arms and said in an intentionally serious voice, “Well, I guess so.”
Shane chuckled and shook his head before wiping Anders' mouth.
Anders was only a three-month-old baby.
Any other baby his age would have still been in their mother's womb.
Therefore, Anders could not even see anything clearly, let alone hear anything well.
Nevertheless, that did not stop Anders from feeling happy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Shane wiped his lips, Anders beamed.
Shane's eyes widened, and a rare look of excitement crossed his face.
“Did Anders just smile?” Shane exclaimed.
Both Sharon and Connor bobbed their heads fervently.
“He did! I saw it! Anders smiled!”
“I saw it too.” Connor held Anders' hand. “Anders must know that he's about to see
Mommy. That's why he's so happy.”
“I think so, too,” Sharon agreed. “Anders woke up the second we reached where Mommy
was. He must know that we're about to meet her.”
“You're right.” Shane threw the tissue he used to wipe Anders' lips. As he caressed Anders'
cheek, he said, “Children have always had good senses. Anders hasn't really seen his
mommy that often, so I'm sure he wants to see her as quickly as he can.”
“We want to see Mommy as soon as possible too.” With that, Sharon tugged Shane's arm.
“Daddy, let's hurry into the place. We want to see Mommy. Anders wants to meet her too.
I'm sure Mommy wants to see Anders and us as well.”
