Sophia couldn’t help but laugh. At that moment, she thought about the role of a beautiful lady that Michael had played… To be honest, the beautiful lady that Michael played is the most realistic one that I’ve seen!
Michael, on the other hand, was really distressed because he didn’t want Carmen to be in the entertainment industry.
It’ll be great for her to go into business when she grows up. That way she can inherit my company, or be a soldier, or even inherit her grandfather’s business to manage coal mines in Africa. However, Carmen seems to inherit all of the Fletcher family’s acting talents. Even though she’s really young, she already knows how to learn to dance and sing on her own by watching television.
“Alright. I promise you that when you are three, I’ll send you to kindergarten. The teachers there will teach you how to sing and dance. Once you graduate from kindergarten, I’ll let you join the movie industry, okay?”
Then, she made a heart shape with her hands. Seeing this, Michael asked curiously, “Who taught you to do that?”
Carmen replied, “I learned it from the TV show ‘Dad, Where Are We Going’. The father in the show taught his children how to do it.”
Well, that’s Carmen’s favorite show and she never misses a single episode. She even dreams of getting on that show…
“Alright, it’s getting late. Carmen, it’s time to sleep. Only children who sleep early can grow up beautifully.”
Carmen was jumping around and was really energetic but she nodded and replied, “Okay, Daddy.”
Then, Michael added, “Your Mommy has just had an operation so you have to sleep in a separate bed for a few days.”
Carmen glanced at Sophia’s face before she pouted her lips. “Okay.”
As a father, Michael was really worried about his child. Then, he nagged again, “You have to listen to Grandpa and Mommy and you can’t run around alone, understand?”
“Okay!” Carmen repeated. “Daddy, when are you coming home?”
In a gentle tone, Michael replied, “I’ll be back in two days.”
When Carmen found out that her father was coming back soon, she was overjoyed and she yelled, “Mommy said that after you come home, we’ll go to see lions and pandas!”
Hearing this, Michael was also happy. He was looking for a chance to bring Sophia to places they had been before. “Alright then. Darling, go to sleep. If you don’t sleep soon, you won’t grow up to be pretty and children who are not pretty can’t go on TV.”
As soon as Carmen heard that she wouldn’t be able to go on TV, she hurriedly said, “Okay, Daddy. Let me give you another heart.” Then, she quickly made a heart shape with her hands and chirped, “Mommy, you have to make a heart shape for Daddy too!”
Sophia was a little embarrassed but she followed Carmen’s lead and made a heart. This is so embarrassing!
Seeing Sophia and Carmen made heart shapes, Michael also made a heart shape for the camera. After that, Carmen climbed into her small bed, got under the quilt and covered herself up. “I’m going to sleep! I’m sleeping now! I want to be pretty!”
Looking at his lively and cute daughter, Michael’s gaze was filled with tenderness and love. Then, Michael looked at Sophia and said, “Sophia, I’m sure that Carmen has been bothering you for the past few days.”
Sophia was watching Carmen sleep when she suddenly heard Michael ask her a question. She blushed and replied, “Not really. The nanny takes care of her most of the time. I just play with her occasionally.” Later, she added, “Carmen is a really good girl and she didn’t make me worry about her.”
