Chapter 854:
It wasn’t until an explosive sound from the movie pulled us back to reality that we stopped kissing.
His rough fingers gently brushed across my lips. I grabbed his hand and motioned for him to stay still.
The couple in front of us ended their kiss, and the movie slowly came to an end.
Herbert and I arrived home just before eleven o’clock at night.
The living room was lit only by wall lamps, casting a dim light across the space. As we walked, Herbert and I exchanged a silent gesture, signaling to keep quiet, hoping not to wake the children in their room.
“I’ll go check on the children,” I said in a low voice.
However, Herbert grabbed my hand.
“The children are asleep. Don’t wake them up. You can see them tomorrow.”
“Okay,” I nodded.
Just as we were about to go upstairs, unexpectedly, the crystal lamp in the living room suddenly lit up!
Herbert and I turned around quickly, and I saw Lucas standing behind us in his pajamas.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?” I hurried over to him.

“Mommy, where did you and daddy go? I’ve been waiting for you all night, and you came back so late,” Lucas pouted, looking aggrieved.
Seeing him like that made me feel incredibly guilty. I squatted down to his level, gently holding his shoulders and smiling.
“Lucas, daddy and mommy had a social engagement tonight. You should go to bed now. You have to go to kindergarten tomorrow.”
“Mommy, it’s the weekend tomorrow. I don’t have to go to school,” Lucas replied.
“Ah, I forgot it’s Saturday tomorrow.” I slapped my forehead, realizing how absent-minded I was.
“Mommy, not long ago, you said you’d take me and Lucky out for delicious food on Friday night. Have you forgotten about it?” Lucas asked, his voice full of concern.
Hearing this, I felt even worse. I had promised him a few days ago, but I had completely forgotten it was Friday today. I had gotten caught up in work and forgot everything.
“How about this?” I said, trying to make it up to him.
“Tomorrow is Saturday, so I’ll take you and Lucky to the amusement park, and we’ll have a nice meal at noon, okay?”
I couldn’t stand seeing Lucas looking so upset. I felt guilty, as I had been so busy with my career lately that I hadn’t spent much time with him.
“Mommy, you must keep your word this time!” Lucas said, his expression both happy and a little worried.
“I will keep my word this time,” I said firmly.
At that moment, Herbert came over, ruffled Lucas’s hair, and said, “Tomorrow, daddy will go with you too.”
