Chapter 4 - 4. Family Time… (2/2)

”Yes, I know my princess. You should not stress out about this. My tiredness always fade away seeing your beautiful smile.” James kissed her forehead gently.

” Hmm Dad.. I love you very much.” Vero also kissed her father's cheek.

”I love you too my princess.”

......….

Back in the dining room…

After sitting for quite a while, Mrs. Lopez couldn't see none of the father-daughter still. So being bored alone, she also went to the kitchen to find them but she paused when she reached in front of the door. Silently watching the father and daughter's heart-warming interaction and they are hugging each other tightly right now; Mrs. Lopez's heart filled with sweetness and her eyes turned red with tears. She thanked the God in her mind quietly for giving her such a loving family.

Later, Mother Lopez removed the tears from her eyes and faked a jealousy tone, ”Woah ! I'm waiting for you two in the dining room for so long and here you are both….. hugging and sweet talking with each other. Humph !! You two really forgot that there is another person who lives in this house and loves her family very much. But look, what I get in return. Just IGNORANCE..”

Veronica rolled her eyes seeing her mother's over-acting whereas James just gazed at his wife softly with a smile plastering on his face.

”Oh darling ! We didn't ignore you at all. We were just having some father-daughter moment. And you know that you will always be the queen of my heart.” He tried to smoothen up his wife's mood.

”Humph!!” Jessica scoffed again.

Seeing her mother being still dramatic Veronica looked at her father and he also looked back at her. Nodding to each other at the same time they both went near Jessica and hugged her tightly.

” I love you Mommy. You are the best mother of the world.”

” I love you honey. You are the best wife of the world.”

As they conveyed their feelings, Mrs. Lopez hugged them back with same affection and a smile crept on her face. She replied, ” I love you too dear's and you both are my life. Not to mention, you two are also the best husband and daughter of the world.”

After some more sweet talks they had their lunch and then Veronica showed her father everything that she and her mother shopped today. James was also amazed to see the gift for the party and praised his wife. Later all of them went to their respective bedrooms.
