"What's wrong, Reed? You didn't seem happy when I said that Clarke will be coming as well," Gaius confronted. The displeasure on Reed's face was quite obvious, meaning that it was difficult for him to hide that dismay in his heart. 

Reed hurriedly fixed his expression, returning to his normal perfunctory smile as if everything that Gaius saw just now was an illusion. 

"Of course, I'm happy that he will be coming too. You said that he rarely has time to bond with the kids, right?"

Gaius sighed and nodded to confirm, "He's so busy, too busy with his work in the office and as a superhero. I understand that he does this for all of us. But sometimes, I wish he could have more time for the kids and me."

"That's unfortunate. The kids won't like him if he keeps ignoring his duty as a father to his children," Reed commented, still with his mysterious smile.
