Chapter 273
Chapter 273
Benny, still crying, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes when he heard his brother’s words. He
pursed his lips and took a deep breath. Then, he pushed the corner of his mouth up with his hand.
“Aidy, I won’t cry anymore. Look, I know how to smile. I won’t be a burden to Mommy Alice.”
Aidy nodded. Then, he used his small hands to push the corners of his mouth to make himself look like
he was smiling. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
The two brothers hugged each other, then sat down again and shared their food. Benny said, “This is
very delicious. You have to remember its taste.”
Aidy replied, “Yes, Benny, Coco. This is also delicious. Let’s remember the taste together.”
Unlike the reactions of his elder brother and younger brother, Coco looked at the dishes on the table,
his face all solemn.
After a while, he said, “It’s our fault. We lied to Mommy Alice. We can’t beg her for forgiveness
anymore. That would be too much. So, don’t make Mommy Alice sad again.”
After saying that, Coco tilted his head to look at Alice seriously for a few seconds before saying,
“Mommy Alice, liars don’t deserve your forgiveness. Don’t feel sorry for us. We deserve it!”
Unlike Aidy and Benny, Coco’s eyes were filled with tears. His expression could not be more serious.
Alice held her chopsticks and looked at the kids in a daze. The more she looked at them, the more
uncomfortable she felt.
She just sighed and rubbed their heads, not saying anything at all.
At this moment, she did not know how to explain her feelings to them so they could understand her.
The three kids tacitly stopped talking and quietly finished the dishes cooked by Alice. Then, they
obediently cleared the table.
Alice wanted to help them, but they insisted that they should be the ones to do the work instead.
After everything was done, Coco looked at Alice and pursed his lips. “Next time, we’ll help.”
He swallowed the words before he could say them out loud. There were so many things they could
offer their assistance to Alice. They could have helped her tidy up the room and the like.
Although he wanted to be with his Mommy Alice, he could not deny that they had indeed ganged up to
help Daddy lie to her.
They had done something wrong, so they should be punished for it.
Having eaten their fill, the kids knew it was time for them to leave, and they started to walk back to their
rooms.
Alice was preparing fruits for them when she started to hear them crying.
She could hear Aidy asking them not to cry so loudly.
Her heart twisted in her chest.
Benny said, “Coco, these are the clothes Mommy Alice bought us. I want to take them away.”
Coco replied, “If we grow up a little, we won’t be able to wear the clothes Mommy Alice bought. I hope
we won’t grow up.”
Aidy said, “Why don’t we look for medicine that can make us grow slower?”
Hearing what the kids said, Alice’s heart ski pped a beat.
These silly kids!
She could not take it anymore. She pushed open the room’s door and took a deep breath. Then, she
asked them, “What are you doing?”
The three kids exchanged glances and came over obediently.
“Mommy Alice, we’re looking at the clothes you bought us,” Aidy said obediently.
Benny wanted to cry, but he tried his best to control himself. He pouted and made himself smile.
“Mommy Alice has good taste. We like the clothes you bought. It’s a pity you will no longer buy clothes
for us next time.”
“Why would that be so? If you like the clothes I bought, I can buy them anytime.”
Alice tried her best to control her emotions. If she separated from Daniel, she would not be able to be
with her kids
anymore.
Daniel would have a new wife. That person would become the kids’ new mother.

The new wife would even give birth to a child for Daniel.
As she thought about it, Alice lost control of her emotions. Tears started to stream down her face.
Perhaps the tears were due to the thought that she would be separated from her kids. Maybe the tears
were due to the memory of how obedient they had been when they returned home with her earlier.
Or perhaps the tears were due to her realizing that her kids were so full of affection for her.
Alice really could not control her emotions anymore.
The three kids stood there in a daze. When they saw Alice cry, they were all stunned.
Their beautiful eyes were filled with guilt.
Benny raised his hand and hit his head. “It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault! Why did you make Mommy
Alice cry?”
Aidy also rubbed his eyes and was extremely sad. “It’s Aidy’s fault. Aidy clearly said not to let Mommy
Alice cry, but Aidy is too bad.”
“Mommy Alice, we’re not good kids. We’re not worthy of you liking us,” Coco also came over and said.
Although they intended to trick her, they did not expect Alice to cry.
They tried their best to explain, but they did not expect Alice to cry even harder.
Alice looked at them and covered her mouth before saying, “I’m sorry. It’s Mommy’s fault. Don’t worry.
Mommy will go out and be alone. I’ll be fine soon!”
After saying that, Alice immediately walked out and sat on the sofa.
The three kids looked at Alice’s back and clenched their fists.
They were upset.
Why did they make Alice so sad?
They deserved to die!
They had to think of ways to make Alice happy again.
They wanted her to smile again.
They hated the fact that they were still children.
If they were adults like Daddy, they could hug Mommy Alice and comfort her.
An idea came to their minds immediately.
They took a photo of Alice’s back with their phone.
Then, they sent the photo to Daniel after adding him to their contact list.
Looking at the photo, Daniel was confused. He replied in the group chat. “What happened to your
mommy?”
Aidy replied that Alice was crying, and they did not know what to do.
Daniel did not know how to coax her either. He had never consoled anyone before.
However, he could not let his wife continue crying.
Hence, Daniel did not think further and typed into another group chat that consisted of Bernard,
Freddie, and Josh.
His message was direct. He asked for help on how to console Alice.
Bernard’s reply was unhelpful.
Freddie suggested that Daniel go to Alice’s house immediately.
Daniel was hesitant as he believed Alice would not let him in.
Freddie suggested that Daniel could wait outside the house as it was not right of him not to visit at all
while knowing Alice was crying.
Daniel agreed.
He picked up his key and left the house immediately.
Meanwhile, Bernard found a few jokes on the Internet and sent them to the group chat. He thought
these jokes might come in handy while Daniel tried to cheer Alice up.
