Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Pierre hasn't been home for long, but now he has to leave again. The night before Pierre left home, Selena pulled herself together and made a table full of delicious dishes. In the meantime, the children seemed to have grown used to Pierre's absence for a month or two. While Juniper pouted and kept asking for hugs from Pierre, her brothers didn't seem to show their feelings.

After dinner, Pierre summoned his two sons into the study. Then, the two boys were told to stand in the middle of the room, thinking they had just done something wrong that angered their father without themselves knowing it. Are we now getting punished for something wrong we did? Dad seems like he is going to punish us.

Time flies. Pierre looked at his sons, feeling glad to see both of them growing so much taller than they were. "Come here, both of you."

Nonetheless, the two boys stood in place and looked at each other, wondering what their father was up to. "Now, you both won't listen to me, will you?" Pierre glared at the kids, feeling frustrated that his words seemingly fell on deaf ears. How dare they disobey me! I'm their father, so they'd better show me some respect.

Soon, Joaquin slowly walked closer to Pierre, with Jameson following right behind his brother.

Then, Pierre hugged the boys and carried them, sitting one of them on the desk and the other on his lap. Since the man rarely had any intimate touch with his sons like that, Jameson was especially uncomfortable, whereas Joaquin seemed unconcerned.

"What are you going to do, Dad?" Jameson timidly asked.

"What am I going to do? I'm going to punish you!" Pierre gently knuckled the boy's head. "You're the naughtiest child of all!"

Jameson quickly kept his mouth shut, as he didn't dare to say a single word more. At the same time, he was stuck with Pierre, who wouldn't let him move, only obediently sitting on his father's lap.

"I'm leaving home tomorrow, which means both of you will be the men in the house. Therefore, the two of you will have to protect your mother and sister. Can you do that?"

"Yes." The boys nodded their heads.

"When I'm away, both of you will have to take good care of your mom. Make sure not to break her heart. When she is sad, do your best to make her happy, okay?" "Okay."

After that, Pierre ran out of things to tell the boys. Although he wasn't sure what he just told his sons was going to be useful, he still reckoned it was the right thing to speak his mind rather than keep his thoughts to himself.

Noticing his father's silence, Jameson said, "Dad, do you have anything else to say? If you don't, I'm going to play right now."

"You can go now, but you will stay." Pierre put Jameson to the ground as the boy turned around and gloated at Joaquin before he left. Awesome! I can finally leave now! Man, I don't want to stay with Dad any longer. It's just terrifying!

A moment later, Pierre reached for Joaquin's head and gently rubbed it. "Jojo, I have a favor I'd like to ask from you."

For the first time, Joaquin realized how important he was to his father when he heard Pierre mention the word 'favor'.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Meanwhile, Selena was alone in her

room, battling against her

depression and sadness about Pierre's departure. Deep down, she wondered how much longer she would have to suffer after so many times of separation between her and her husband.

When Pierre returned, Selena already calmed herself down and was packing his luggage for him.

"I don't know what the climate over

there is like, soy packed a few different clothes and sweaters in your luggage. You may think it's troublesome to bring them along but I believe they'll come in handy when you need them," Selena explained the items that she placed in the luggage as her tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.

The man then took Selena to the bed and sat her down, hugging her in his arms. "I'm so sorry, Selena."

"It's okay. I knew this would be inevitable the moment I married you." Selena couldn't help but feel upset despite her reassurance.

"I promise. I'll end this as soon as I can."

"What do you mean?" Selena looked up and met Pierre's gaze.
