Chapter 491 - Four Hundred And Ninety-One: It Was Her Room (2/2)

They had separated the kids to limit their closeness - thanks to Allen's reminder - but they had gone contrary to their parent's intention last night, by not only sleeping in her room, but sharing her bed as well.

Their hearts hammered in their chest as they settled on their respective beds. Had their mom checked on them already? It was seven in the morning already and their mother was supposed to have come down already.

Even without their mom coming over, the maids could have checked up on them and when they didn't see a soul, would report the discovery to their mother, who would in turn put two and two together, and find out what they've done.

As if the universe was on their side, they heard the doorknob turn and with lightning speed, went back to bed and pretended as if they had been sleeping all this while.

Reina was relieved when she saw the kids on their bed. She could have checked on them earlier, but she had overslept - thanks to Niklaus. That monster had not left her rest, not even to answer to their son when he knocked on their door yesterday. Fine, at this rate, she would have to bring in a second bed into their bedroom if Niklaus can't keep his hands to himself.

”Mom?” her attention was drawn to her son who woke up at that moment. Her entrance must have woken him - Allen was a light sleeper.

”Hey honey, you could go back to sleep. I was just checking up on you guys,” Reina felt guilty for waking him up.

”Morning mom,”

Reina was startled when her other son Neon woke up as well. She felt her guilt increase, knowing she had unintentionally woken up her kids from their beauty sleep. Doctors said kids need sleep the most to grow up well - she sure hoped she hadn't messed up their growing pattern.

”Don't mind me kids, go back to sleep,” She shooed them away like birds.

”I can't sleep anymore,”

”Me too,” Neon concurred.

Reina sighed, running her hands through her hair, ”Then you can go ahead to brush and take your baths. Amanda should have something for you guys to eat,” She informed them and was just about to leave when she recalled something.

She turned to Allen, probing him with her stare, ”You knocked on our door last night, what was the problem, Allen?”

At once, Allen and Neon's eyes met, electricity cackling between them as they dared each other to reveal the truth.

”No, I suddenly had multiple inspirations about life to discuss with father before it went away, but then there was no chance to do so,” Allen lied through his teeth.

And like a fool Reina believed him. The boy had always been an inquisitive one, so she wasn't surprised.

”I'm sorry about that, Son. Don't worry, your dad is up and ready to answer any question you might have for him,” Reina made it up to him.

”Sure, no problem,”Allen asked cooly,

”And what about you mom, did the exercise with dad go well? ”

Reina was taken back by that question, yet she still faked a smile to her boy saying,” Yes, it went well, ”

Absolutely well.
