Brian had mixed feelings in his heart.

He's been very busy lately and hasn't had much time for his two little ones.

However, Aiden and Romy didn't seem to be used to being without him.

Every evening, the two little ones would subconsciously look for him, just like Romy did just now.

But, most of the time, they can't find him.

He was either at the office or still on his way back.

No matter how many grand excuses he had, he hadn't given the two little ones much company while they were growing up and that was a fact.

Back to Dingya Mountain Resort, Romy has been exhausted and fell asleep, Aiden nap has not yet woken up, Joanne happy to relax, into the kitchen to begin to prepare the two little one's dinner.

In the living room, only Brian and Iris remained.

Iris pondered for a moment, thinking that this was a good time to open her mouth and said, "Brian, I have something to say to you."

Brian was clueless and looked at Iris, waiting for the old lady to follow.

Iris smiled mysteriously and said, "When I was in the hospital just now, I know what you were thinking."

"..."

Brian was first stunned for half a second and then smiled.

Iris was watching him grow up, two years ago, Iris even saw that he liked Joanne so secretive, it is not surprising that she saw through what he was thinking in the hospital.

Iris didn't wait for Brian to speak either and continued, "When you were first born, your father had the same trouble."

"... "Brian mused for a moment, "Afterward, how did dad solve it?"

Iris was silent for a moment, already caught up in her memories, and slowly said, "At that time, your father had just set up his own law firm, and everything was still in its infancy. He knew better than anyone else that his level of effort at that time would determine the quality of our lives in the future."

"... Dad chose to work?" Brian recalled, then felt that it was not right, "But, in my memory, although dad was very busy, he spent a lot of time with me."

"Because, your father has found a balance between work and accompanying you ah." The corners of Iris's lips unconsciously rose, "Your dad will have a set time every week when he doesn't work or socialize, so he stays home with you.

"Your dad was busier when you grew up, too, but he didn't let that make him think you no longer needed company. On the contrary, he felt that boys needed their father's guidance even more during adolescence.

"Your dad reframed his time so that in addition to being with you on a daily basis, he would take you on two trips a year, one domestic and one abroad. So, you grew up without your dad falling behind in his work, achieving career success, or missing every important moment in your life.

"Hasn't your identity come to light recently? Several of your father's old friends approached me, saying that you inherited your father's excellence. But only I know where your dad was truly excellent."

"..."

Brian smiled and didn't say anything.

What couldn't be denied was that he was warm inside.

So it seems that all that warmth and beauty he remembered as a child was not out of place.

Iris paused and then said, "Brian, during the period from when you were 16 to 30 years old, you traveled across the ocean from China to the United States, and then came back from the United States to China, you have experienced a lot of things, and you have also achieved success just like your father. The difference is that many people say you are cold and don't know how to love, and some even say your heart has no temperature. But I know that the people who say these things are people who don't know you."

"..." Brian was more or less surprised, "Mom, at that time, you believed me?"

"I know you, and of course I trust you." Iris shook her head and said, "You are a child who grew up in love, how could you not understand love?"

After saying that, Iris suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way, it was also at that time that I began to suspect that you liked Joanne!"

"..." Brian's expression became somewhat subtle for a moment, "Mom, I ..."

"Don't you dare try to change the subject!" Iris smugly interrupted Brian, "You can hide it from the world, but you can't hide it from me!"

"..." Brian had a helpless look on his face, not saying anything meant that he had admitted defeat.

Iris looked quite accomplished, "How about it, does it still bother you now?"

"No." Brian said, "I'll organize my time like dad did."

"That's right." Iris patted Brian's shoulder in relief, "Go find Joanne and see if she needs any help. I'll go upstairs to check on Aiden and Romy."

Brian still had a light smile on his lips when he walked into the kitchen.

Joanne was preparing the ingredients for the congee and noticed that Brian was in a good mood and asked curiously, "What did mom say to you?"

"Talked a bit about my childhood." Brian rolled up his sleeves, "What's next? I'll help you."

"No need, I can handle it alone, there's still a chef if I'm not busy!" Joanne takes off her gloves and pushes Brian out, "You go and handle your work, finish it early, when Aiden and Romy wake up, you can accompany them."

"..." Brian not only did not leave, but instead looked more and more intently at Joanne.

"..." Joanne was stunned by the look and asked uncertainly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Joanne, I've decided that unless there are special circumstances, I won't work overtime on Tuesdays and Thursdays or handle work on Sundays." Brian says word for word, "I will use these times to accompany Aiden and Romy."

In other words, Brian has regular time to spend with the two little ones?

Joanne was certainly happy.

During this period of time, Brian had been very busy, and when Aiden and Romy were filled with disappointment because they couldn't find Brian, Joanne wasn't feeling nothing, but she couldn't complain to Wesley either.

Joanne had been trying to tell Brian that she would rather lose some of her out-of-body possessions, as long as Brian had more time to spend with his two little ones.

However, she turned to think, what if Brian was forced to choose to work?

With so many employees under Lu's banner, how could Brian put down his work when he said he would?

Her talking to Brian that much would only make Brian busy.

In the end, Joanne remained silent.

However, she never expected that Brian had actually made an arrangement.

Joanne smiled slightly and looked at Brian, her tone full of undisguised joy, "This is the best!"

Brian continued, "When they grow up a bit, we'll take them out for a trip."

Joanne's beautiful peach blossom eyes twinkled with anticipation, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Brian was very certain, "We'll go wherever you want."

Joanne is looking forward to the future, suddenly filled with unprecedented anticipation, saying, "I hope Aiden and Romy grow up quickly!" While she is happy, she is more curious and looks at Brian, "But how did you suddenly make these decisions?"

"That's how I grew up." Brian said, "When I was very young, my father was also very busy, but as far as I can remember, he spent most of his time with me, and until now, his company is still the best memory in my heart. I don't want Aiden and Romy to grow up and not only not be able to remember any memories related to me, but also have to make excuses that it's because dad was too busy."

Joanne's eyes were smiling as she looked enviously at Brian, "You really have a very good father."

Brian raised an eyebrow and clouded his face, "Aiden and Romy will also have it."

Joanne laughed, hugged Brian's waist, tilted her head and looked at him, "When Aiden and Romy grow up, I'll tell them that they have a father who loves them very much." After a pause, she felt as if something was wrong, "No, they can feel it themselves as they grow up!"

Brian lowered his head and kissed Joanne, and his cell phone rang at this time, Gavin said that there was something at work that needed him to get an idea.

He let go of Joanne with fondness, "I'll go to the study."

"Well, you go and get busy." Joanne said, "I'll go up and call you when dinner is ready."

After Brian left, only Joanne was left alone in the kitchen.

Even so, Joanne's heart was filled with happiness as she prepared up dinner.

Not long after, Iris walked in with a smile, Joanne saw the old lady and smiled, "Mom, dinner will be ready soon, are you hungry?"

"There's no rush, I'm not hungry yet." Iris walked over, "Well, do you need my help?"

"Aiden and Romy's porridge is done, help me turn off the fire." Joanne's lips were overflowing with happiness in a smile, "I'll do the rest!"

Iris knew by looking at Joanne's appearance that she and Brian must have had a pleasant chat just now.

Her mention seems to have been useful.

That reassured her.

After turning off the fire, Iris didn't leave and helped in the kitchen while chatting with Joanne, and the kitchen's smoky atmosphere added a touch of happiness.

As the day was getting late, Brian finished his work and left the study, making a side trip to the children's room.

Aiden just woke up and saw Brian, rolled over and sat up, looked at Brian and smiled out, obviously happy to see Brian.

Brian made a "don't talk" gesture to Freya met, signaling him to look at the side.

Freyayu followed Brian's gesture and looked next to her, seeing her sister still asleep, blinking her eyes seemingly without understanding, not making any noise or fuss.

"Good boy." Brian stretched out his hand towards the little one, "Stand up, I'll take you down to find mommy."

Freya met on Brian's hand, borrowed Brian's force to stand up, Brian just as soon as he picked him up, he relied into Brian's arms, in Brian's chest vigorously rubbed twice, obviously still sleepy.

Brian carried the little one out of the children's room, the little one seemed to be awake, struggled a little, slid down from Brian's arms, pulled Brian's hand familiarly towards the stairway.

Brian was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized what came over and smiled ...
