414 Reassurance

Early in the morning when Jie woke up and left his kids' room, the only thing that awaited him outside was silence. He looked for Xu Mey all around the house but not finding her anywhere, his expressions hardened. 

He had thought about clearing up everything with her. He was willing to sit down and talk to her. He was even willing to apologize for the way he spoke last night but guess what she did? She ran! She ran away again!

Jie took a deep calming breath as he got ready and came downstairs to prepare breakfast. "Morning, dad!" He instantly smiled at his twins when they came down to have breakfast already clad in their uniforms. He didn't even have to wake them up.

"Morning!" he replied and kissed them both before getting back to his scrambled eggs.

"Where is mom? Why are you cooking today?" Juan was the first one to bring this up. "Dad..." Seeing how he was silent for a long while, she called him again.
