Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 2225

"Mom, I missed you so much that I can only feel safe if you hold me." Marlon rubbed his head against Alice. He felt that he was a little man, so he couldn't let his tears fall. No matter how excited or sad he was, he couldn't cry.

Grandpa said that he would be the pillar of the family in the future. He couldn't cry, and could only walk forward bravely.

They didn't have a father. He had to learn from early on so that he could take care of his mother and sister.

"Baby, I missed you too!" Alice wanted to pick up her son, only to replace that she couldn't lift her son up anymore, so she could only hold him like that.

"Mom." Juliet also ran in front of Alice.

Alice squatted down, hugged her two children, and kissed them on their little faces.

"My darlings, are you tired?" Alice stood up and looked at her son and daughter with great satisfaction.

Juliet was wearing a pink skirt and her hair was tied into a ponytail. Her big eyes were especially bright and her smile was particularly wide. "Because I want to see you, Mom, I'm not tired at all." "Mom, so am I. I'm not tired at all." Marlon smiled happily.

"If you're not tired, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Alice took their little hands and looked at her mother. "Mom, thank you for your hard work!"

Aubri looked at her daughter and smiled. "Silly girl, I'm not tired. You don't even know these two small chatterboxes. They kept talking on the plane non-stop, and I kept answering their questions. Time flies very fast. We arrived in River City before we knew it."

She looked at the familiar city in front of her. When she was young, she often came to River City.

However, since her grandchildren were born, she had not come back here.

"Mom, let's go back first. I booked a restaurant near the apartment."

Aubri nodded. "I'm really hungry. These two little guys have been hungry for a long time. They just drank two cups of water on the plane."

When Alice arrived at the restaurant with her mother and daughter, it was almost 10 o'clock.

Since the restaurant was closing, Alice could only ask them to pack up all the dishes and bring them back to the apartment.

The apartment was very big, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The dining table was also very big, and it was very spacious at home.

While the children were washing their hands, Alice had already opened all the takeout boxes.

Smelling the aroma of the dishes, she was also hungry.

"Wow! Mom, there's so much delicious food. This is my favorite fried chicken." Juliet sat down on the chair and grabbed the chicken to eat without hesitation.

"Haha." Alice looked at her daughter and smiled. After she finished eating, she wiped her little hands with a wet tissue. "Silly girl, no matter how hungry you are, you can't use your hands. Just wear a disposable glove or you will dirty your clothes."

Aubri also sat down with Marlon and the others.

"Wow! Mom, the taste is stronger and more flavorful than the dishes in Lemmon City. It's delicious." Juliet's favorite foods were chicken and shrimp.

"Really?" Alice also ate one. She had ordered light dishes, as she was still not used to the food here.

Aubri looked at her daughter and asked, "Alice, is your work going well?"

She looked as usual, caring and being concerned about her daughter.

Alice smiled and replied, "Mom, it's going well."

Aubri looked at her calmly. "Are you not used to life here? Why do you look thinner?"

Alice nodded and responded, "Mom, I'm not used to things here. You know, the biggest difference is the diet. The food in Lemmon City is light and the food in River City is heavier in spice. I'm not used to it." She didn't tell her mother when she had had gastritis, but Aubri was even more worried.

Aubri also knew her daughter's habits, so she did not ask anything else.

After dinner, Alice and her mother cleaned up the dining room together.

Juliet and Marlon went to wash up.

After washing up, the two little children ran into the room and had a whispered discussion.

After closing the door, Marlon looked at his sister and said in a low voice, "Juliet, I overheard the conversation between Grandpa and Grandma last night, saying that our father is in River City." However, she rolled her eyes at her brother.

"Marlon, do you only know now?"

He looked at his sister in shock. "Based on your expression, do you already know about this?"

She nodded. "I happened to hear Grandpa and Grandma talk about it before, but I don't know who he is."

"Anyway, he has never been a part of our lives, and we don't acknowledge him as our father." Juliet's little face was full of anger. She clasped her hands together and looked at the bustling city outside the window angrily.

Marlon narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his angry sister. He smiled and said, "Juliet, in fact, I really want to know who he is. Both of us have the ability to remember everything. We must have inherited our father's genes. Mom doesn't have such good genes."

"Hmph! I can't forgive him. Having good genes is not important. Being good to us and being good to Mom would make him the best father."

"Hehe. Little girl, what if there's some misunderstanding or something we don't know?" He asked. Actually, he really wanted to meet his father and see what he looked like.

She could not deny it, but she still wanted to know who their father was.

Her eyes flashed. Seeing her classmates' parents pick them up from kindergarten and school, she was actually very envious.

However she knew that there were some things that couldn't be envied.

"Anyway, I don't want to know who he is. Don't mention our father in front of Mom, or she will be sad again."

"I know. Just pretend that I didn't say anything." He smiled and gently flicked his sister's forehead so she didn't feel any pain at all.

"Juliet, sleep well and have a good dream. I'll buy you ice cream tomorrow."

He chuckled and turned to leave.

She looked at her brother's back and could not believe what he had just said. He must have followed their father, whom they had never met before, and he always liked to bully her. "Marlon, go to bed." Alice looked at him as soon as her son came out.

"I got it, Mom. Do you have potato chips?" Marlon went to the living room to replace them. His footsteps were sloppy, yet his little figure looked noble.

She looked at the place where the potato chips were kept and said in disbelief, "You ate a lot just now, and you have brushed your teeth. Do you still want to eat potato chips?"

He retorted unkindly, "Mom, I'm just following you, aren't I? Grandma said that you loved potato chips when you were young and I inherited this from you."

Aubri smiled silently. If he didn't eat some potato chips, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

Alice was speechless.

She really couldn't let the children know about her past. Otherwise, they would be completely lawless.

"Don't eat too much tonight. It's unhealthy. Eat it tomorrow. Otherwise, you will get a nosebleed again." Alice didn't want her son to eat anymore junk food as her son was prone to nosebleeds.
