He still remembered what Luna had told him in the past.
‘If we have kids, I’ll teach them to be true to themselves. They should act courteous in public, but when they’re at home, they can do whatever they want.’
It was apparent that Alice had forgotten her promise. It seemed that six years truly could change a person, so much so that Joshua could not recognize her anymore.
He sighed and led Alice into the house.
“Daddy! “
“Welcome home, Daddy! We know you’ve had a long day at work! “As soon as they set foot in the house, they came face-to-face with Neil and Nellie. The two children stood to either side of the door and bowed a t Joshua, smiling.
Joshua immediately scowled at this sight. He took a closer look at his two children standing before him. Nellie’s face was red and tearful, while Neil’s face was etched with impatience. It was obvious that the two children had been forced to do this against their will.
Joshua let go of Alice and shot her a cold glance. “Is this the so-called manners that you’re trying to teach them?“
Alice froze. She could tell that Joshua was displeased.
She narrowed her eyes in annoyance. She had instructed the children to compliment their father when he got home from work, but she never told them to wait by the door and bow at him!
The looks on Neil and Nellie’s faces clearly conveyed to Joshua that they were miserable and that Alice was the one who put them up to this.
Alice smiled nervously. “No, of course not. They must’ve learned this from television. They must’ve thought that you’d like being welcomed home this way.“
