She relaxed her furrowed brows and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, before stepping out of the bathroom.
It was the weekend, and Charlotte had slept till breakfast. By the time she got out, Jordan had already prepared breakfast.
After placing the bowl on the table, Jordan paused slightly and gave an almost indiscernible sigh, "Sis, come eat."
All the children dutifully took their seats at the table, seemingly afraid of upsetting Charlotte again. Even the usually restless Grace and Hank sat quietly and ate their food, without the usual squabbles.
The meal was exceptionally silent. Charlotte looked up at her children, a sight that softly tugged at her heartstrings.
She tightened her grip on her chopsticks, trying to keep her tone as light as possible.
She chuckled and said softly, "It's the weekend today, let's go out and have some fun after breakfast."
As her words fell, the children were momentarily stunned before they glanced at each other.
