Chapter 189

Hearing the two kids talking to her at the door, Stacey quickly finished up. Then she washed her hands and stepped outside.

As soon as the bathroom door opened, Lillian and Kevin rushed over and hugged her legs like two small cannonballs.

Stacey had no choice but to bend down and lift the two kids up

"Let's go. The bathroom stinks." Stacey reminded them.

Lillian and Kevin stayed close to their mother like two little followers.

The hotel offered customized meal sets, but before placing an order, Stacey felt a bit unsure. 'Hayden is here. Should I invite him for breakfast? Is he awake? Since we are all there, it wouldn't be polite not to invite him after he has treated our whole family to dinner yesterday, right?" she pondered.

"Becky, call Hay and ask him if he wants to join us for breakfast. Since we are here, why don't we eat together? This meal is

us today," Debra said with a smile.

Stacey didn't expect her mom to have already arranged it. She smiled and agreed, "Okay" But before making the call, Stacey checked the time again. She worried a little that calling too early might disturb Hayden's sleep. 'It's after seven o'clock, so it shouldn't be too early, she thought. After hesitating for a moment, she finally made the call.

On the other side, Hayden was still sleeping in his hotel room. He heard his phone ring and, in a daze, picked it up. When he saw that the caller ID was Becky, his mind became a bit more clear. Hayden answered quickly, "Becky?"

Stacey noticed that there was still a hoarse quality in his voice. She paused for a moment and couldn't help but think, 'Did I wake him up?

"Did I wake you?" Stacey asked.

Hayden quickly gathered himself and replied, "No."

Stacey sighed in relief and continued, "Do you have any plans for breakfast today? My mother wants to invite you."

"I don't have any plans. I'll be ready soon. Just give me a few minutes, and we can go together, Hayden said happily.

Stacey could sense the cheerfulness in his voice and felt reassured that her call hadn't bothered him. She nodded. "Okay." After that, they hung up.. Lillian looked up at her mother with bright eyes and asked hopefully, "Mom, was that Dad?"

Stacey nodded. "Yes."

"I miss Dad, too. Where is Dad?" Kevin asked in a childish voice.

"He's in the other room," Debra said with a smile. "We'll see him soon."

"Why should I wait?" Lillian asked, confused..

Kevin, not understanding, added, "Why?"

Stacey felt helpless and knew she had to patiently entertain the two children, who wanted to replace their father but needed to be distracted. Chapter 189

Fortunately, Hayden didn't keep them waiting long. There was a knock at the door, and before Stacey and Debra could react, Lillian and Kevin dashed over. Gwen opened the door, and the moment the kids saw Hayden, they hugged his legs tightly.

"Daddy, you're so slow! We've been waiting forever," Lillian exclaimed, looking up at Hayden.

"Yeah, Lillian and I wanted to replace Daddy, but Mommy wouldn't let us, Kevin complained seriously. "Mom said we'd disturb

Dad.

Hearing what the twins said, Hayden smiled at Stacey. He bent down and gave each twin a kiss, saying, "Good morning, Lillian! Good morning, Kevin!"

Lillian quickly reacted, standing on tiptoe to hug Hayden's big head with her small hands. She kissed his cheek and said carnestly, "Good morning, Dad." Seeing that Hayden was finished greeting Lillian, Kevin also reached out to hug his father's head. Hayden leaned down to make it easier for him. Kevin gave his dad a kiss on the cheek, saying, "Good morning, Dad."

Stacey and Debra stood in the room, enjoying the scene at the door and laughing out loud. "Everyone's ready! Let's go found a restaurant last night, and everyone said its breakfast is delicious. Let's try it." Debra said happily,

Gwen and Marie came out with toddler leashes for Lillian and Kevin, who were both excited and full of energy. Without needing any encouragement from the adults, they raced outside Stacey and Debra grabbed their bags, locked the door, and left. Once in the elevator, Lillian couldn't hold back her curiosity. She began to ask, "Grandma, what are we going to eat?"

Debra looked down at Lillian and replied mysteriously. "It's a very delicious food!"

"How delicious is it?" Kevin asked seriously.

"Super delicious!" Debra exaggerated.

Lillian's eyes lit up with excitement. "I want to cat!"

"I want to eat it too!" Kevin chimed in.

Debra gently touched their cheeks and smiled, "Okay, I'll buy it for you later!" It was rare to come to Daprein, so they should eat, drink, play, and enjoy themselves. After indulging in delicious food and fun, it would be a rewarding trip.

"Daddy also wants to eat!" Lillian shouted. Hearing this, everyone turned to look at her. Lillian paused for a moment and then added, "And Mommy! Grandma! Everyone wants it!" the little one declared earnestly.

Kevin echoed, "Yeah! Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Kevin all want it

"Me too!" Lillian quickly added when she realized her brother hadn't mentioned her specifically.

In the small elevator, everyone laughed, enjoying the children's cuteness.

Hayden

hadn't expected to hold such an important place in the hearts of these two kids-it felt nice.

When the elevator reached the first floor, they all got out. There were still a lot of people around. Debra had arranged several cars, all waiting at the door. As soon as they stepped outside, they could hop right

in.

One car couldn't hold them all, so Debra called Gwen and Maric to take another car, leaving Stacey and Hayden to share one with their two kids. Hayden recognized that Debra was intentionally making space for him and Stacey to grow closer, which made him smile even more.
