Little Romy wasn't walking very steadily yet, wobbling along the way like a delicate and pretty tilting doll.

Joanne couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw half of it.

Little Romy felt herself getting closer and closer to her mom, and also smiled very brightly. However, when she was about to hug Joanne, Joanne suddenly took a big step back-

Mom, who had been close by, instantly pulled a large distance from her.

Little Romy had an expression of not knowing what was happening, blinking quietly in confusion, frozen in place and not moving, just looking at Joanne.

Joanne did it on purpose.

This is the only way for Sagiri to learn to walk faster.

Joanne continued to coax the little one, "Romy, come, walk over to mommy."

Of course, Romy didn't know that this was Joanne's "scheme", tilted her head for a moment, and innocently took a step towards Joanne.

However, there seemed to be no end to this road towards Joanne.

While she kept moving forward, Joanne kept moving backward, always keeping a distance between them.

At first, little Romy was still chasing Joanne with great interest, and Joanne was enjoying the game very much, but it didn't take long before Romy lost her patience and her expression became more and more aggravated, and in the end, when she was about to cry out, Joanne finally stopped and opened her hands towards her-

Little Romy broke into a smile, and all of a sudden pounced into Joanne's arms, hugging Joanne tightly and calling in a milky voice, "Ma Ma."

Joanne kissed the little one's face as if rewarding him, "Good boy, our Romy is the best!"

Martha was watching from the side the whole time, and at the end, she said with a smile, "If this happens often, it won't be long before Romy can walk on her own!"

"Well, it can be practiced a few more times." Joanne paused and added, "But not today."

Little Sagittarius smiled like a little angel, but the little angel also had a temper.

Tease her one more time today and she should throw a tantrum.

And the consequences of the cherub's tantrums are severe.

"Good." Martha smiled as she walked over and teased little Romy, "Then we'll continue tomorrow."

"Hmm?"

Little Romy blinked her big, dark eyes twice and looked at Martha in confusion.

Martha smiled even more happily and couldn't help but say, "Our Romy is so cute!"

Little Romy seemed to know that Martha was praising her, gave a laugh, shyly buried her face into Joanne's arms, hugged Joanne tightly, and pampered Joanne, "Mom."

"Isn't it sleepy?" Joanne touched the little one's head while stroking her back, "Mommy carry you back to your room to sleep, okay?"

After going upstairs, Joanne had wanted to carry Romy to the children's room, but the little guy struggled and refused to go in, pointing to her bedroom.

Joanne was surprised and looked at the little one, "Do you want to go sleep in mommy's room?" Saying this, she kissed the little one, "No problem."

Joanne hugged Romy back to his room, and then he realized that the indoor curtains were tightly closed, and only a little sunlight filtered in, and the room's light seemed weak.

Despite this, Brian on the bed could still be seen.

Brian fell asleep, and slept so deeply, breathing shallowly, that he didn't even know that Joanne and Romy came in.

Little Sagittarius was instantly excited to see his father, clapping his hands and calling, "Daddy!"

"Hush--" Joanne shook her head toward Romy, signaling her to keep quiet, "Daddy's asleep, let's not disturb him, okay?"

Little Romy blinked his eyes seemingly unintelligible, "hmmmm" issued a sound similar to a protest, struggled twice, and slid down from Joanne's arms.

This time, no need to Joanne painstaking effort to induce, the little Romy directly rubbing towards the bed, struggling to climb on the bed, climbed directly to the side of Brian, meaty little hand gently touched Brian's face, budding called "Dad."

Brian has always been a light sleeper, and with Romy making such a fuss, he quickly woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Romy sitting obediently next to him.

"Dad!"

Little Sagittarius barked again, his voice crisp and clean with a milky flavor, as endearing as it could be.

The arc of Brian's lips unconsciously became softer, he stretched out his hand and touched the little one's face, and the little girl directly lay down and looked at him with a smile.

Joanne walked to the bedside and looked at Brian "Did Romy disturb you?"

Brian touched his daughter's hair, "It's okay."

Joanne knew how much Brian favored the two little ones, and he certainly didn't mind being disturbed by them.

She made a gesture to carry Romy, "I'll take Romy to the children's room, you sleep."

It was at this time that Sagiri yawned.

Brian smiled and rubbed the little girl's forehead affectionately, "Are you sleepy too?"

"It should be." Joanne said, "She was yawning downstairs just now, I was going to take her back to her room, but she had to come here."

"Did you know I'm home?" Brian sidled up and pinched the little one's face, "You'll sleep here, okay?"

Little Romy yawned and made a "hmm" sound, seemingly agreeing to Brian.

The smile at the corner of Brian's lips deepened, pulling over the quilt and covering the little one, he looked at Joanne and said, "Leave Romy to me."

"Well, good." Joanne was happy not to have to take care of this little guy and pointed outside, "Then I'm going out."

Brian "hmm" sound, but, Joanne did not have time to turn around, Romy in the quilt "humming" began to protest.

Joanne had to bend down | body, pulled the little one's clothes "What's wrong with you?"

Little Romy stretched out her hand towards Joanne and said in a milky voice, "Mommy, give me a hug."

Joanne could not do anything with this little one and kissed her face, "Be good and nap here with daddy, mommy will go to see your brother, okay?"

Seemingly hearing that her mother was leaving, little Romy simply climbed up from the comforter and looked at Joanne blearily, "Ma Ma ..."

With this look, the little one clearly wanted Joanne to accompany her.

Joanne said that it is false to say that her heart is not soft, so she had to lie down on the side of the bed, hold the little one, gently stroking her back to coax her, "Okay, mommy is with you, sleep."

Little Romy finally revealed a contented smile, rubbed herself in Joanne's arms and obediently closed her eyes.

Joanne looked at Brian, "You should also go to sleep soon."

Brian had a sleepless night last night, just fell asleep and was woken up by Romy, he had long been too sleepy to break his eyes, nodded and then closed his eyes.

The room went so quiet that only the sound of Brian and Romy breathing remained.

Not long after, Romy rolled over and turned to lean over to Brian's side.

Although Brian was asleep, he subconsciously should have known that Romy was beside him and reached out his hand to protect Romy.

Joanne made sure that both father and daughter had fallen asleep, then gently got up, covered the little one and Brian, and left silently.

She glanced in the children's room, and Westfall was still asleep as well.

Relieved, she went downstairs to see the Akita sprawled peacefully on the carpet, squinting like his little master on his lunch break.

Joanne walked over and stroked the Akita dog's head, then picked up the cell phone on the coffee table, thought for a moment, and dialed Yuna's number.

Yuna quickly picked up the phone, his voice was very light, "Joanne?"

"It's me." Joanne thought about it and just asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll prepare it now and have Winston send it over to you when it's done."

"What about Aiden and Romy?" Yuna asked in confusion, "Don't you have to take care of them?"

"They are all asleep." Joanne smiled helplessly, "These days, I've been around them all the time, and when they fell asleep, I didn't know what to do instead, so I wanted to help you prepare dinner first."

"In that case then I'll be polite!" Yuna thought for a moment, "I want to eat the braised pork you made, and the steamed fish!"

"No problem!" Joanne then asked, "What else? What kind of soup do you want?"

"Anything else ... is fine, you can do whatever you want!" Yuna pondered for a moment, "For soup ... I want to drink bone soup, your stewed bone soup is the best!"

"Then I'll stew bone soup." Joanne smiled, "I'll make it for two, you and Wesley can eat it together."

"Good!" Yuna paused and asked with some hesitation, "Joanne, after Brian came back, did you ask Brian what exactly happened last night?"

Yuna knew that if she asked Wesley directly, Wesley would definitely not tell her the true answer.

If you ask Joanne, there are a few possibilities of knowing the truth.

But even though Joanne hadn't communicated with Wesley, she knew what Wesley was thinking.

Such a serious matter, it was impossible for Wesley to truthfully tell Yuna, leaving Yuna empty worried.

Even if it was impossible for them to hide it from Yuna all the time, it was still necessary to be able to hide it for one day.

This could be interpreted as a tacit understanding between them and Wesley.

If Brian and Wesley had solved Rowdy before Yuna knew the truth, then they could just tell Yuna the good news!

"It's just that there's something going on in the company that they need to take care of overnight." Joanne smiled, signaling Yuna to rest assured, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

That's what Wesley said to Yuna.

Yuna's apprehensive heart settled a little and said, "Okay, I know."

"... "Joanne didn't know how to continue making it up, she was afraid that if she talked further, she was going to reveal herself, so she had to say, "Then I'll go prepare dinner for you first."

Yuna smiled and said expectantly, "Good."

Joanne hung up the phone, a long sigh of relief, can not say why there is a feeling of being a thief, so he had to pat his chest and forced himself to take two deep breaths.

Waiting for her mood to calm down, Joanne didn't want to think about it so much and ran to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients that she needed to use for dinner.
