Xavier and Ryan looked at Allie's face at the same time, waiting for her to speak.
"Your father returns home next Monday afternoon, so you guys free up that afternoon in advance." Allie said.
"Got it." Xavier said indifferently, before turning around and heading out the door.
Ryan nodded and followed along out the door.
After both of them had left, Camille then rubbed herself towards Allie's side again, holding her arms affectionately and pampering her, "Mom, can't I wait until next Monday when dad comes back and see him before I leave? I miss daddy."
"No, school is important."
"I'm begging you." Camille pouted again, her hands constantly shaking Allie's arm, "Mum, can I? Is it okay? I'm sure Daddy misses me too."
After saying that, Camille then put her hands together, clutching them together, the back of her hand against her chin, looking at Allie's face with an expectant face, her big, gleaming, soulful eyes fluttering pitifully.
