Assaulted

As soon as they got home, Mark ordered some food takeouts from an expensive restaurant and sent Eric to help bring Mia home.

Unlike in the past, Eric would have loved to stay back and join his brother and his family to have lunch but times had changed.

When Mark invited him to stay for lunch, he said to him with a wink, "I'm sorry I can't. I have a date."

"Good luck with your date then," Mark said casually as he saw him off to the door. But when he came back inside, Mia who had heard a snippet of their brother's conversation asked cheerfully, "Daddy, what is a date?"

Mark gazed down on his fast-growing daughter and let out a sigh. "It means going out with someone to do something fun. Now go to your room and change out of your uniform."

"Okay," Mia answered as she ran back to her room.

A few minutes later, the family of three gathered to have a mouthwatering lunch.
