    Chapter 296


    "Hurry up, or I''lle and take you away." Isaac''s patience had entirely run out by now, and if she


    didn''te down any sooner, he might go up and bring her down himself.


    Patricia stood up abruptly. "Don''t. I''m on my way down now." After saying that, she hung up the phone,


    stuffed it into her pocket, opened the door cautiously, and peered outside to assess the situation.


    She stayed on the second floor with her three children, while Josephine''s room was on the third floor.


    Then, she looked down at her feet, took off her shoes, and held them in her hands as she walked


    silently through the house barefoot. She could walk around the house barefoot without her feet getting


    cold because the temperature inside the house was warm and had floor heating.


    She walked out the door carefully and toward the stairs. At that moment, she had the same feeling as a


    thief, and all of these sneaky gestures caused her to be exhausted quickly. As she walked past


    the door that led to her two sons'' bedroom, the door suddenly opened.


    At the doorway, Patricia was startled to see Scott and Ste''s bleary eyes as they stared at her. She


    could tell by the cups in the boys'' hands that they were getting ready to head downstairs to get some


    water. Wasn''t that too much of a coincidence?


    She smiled awkwardly at her two sons. "Hey, boys. Are you guys thirsty? Would you like me to go get


    you some water?"


    It''s already past 11.00PM! Why aren''t these two asleep yet? She bowed her head in disappointment.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Moreover, she feared that making an excuse for a night run wouldn''t be enough.


    "Mommy, are you going to work out?"


    Sten asked her cheerfully, looking her over from head to toe.


    Patricia quickly slipped on her sports shoes and replied, "I''m quite full from dinner, so I''m going to the


    gym to exercise."


    Scott stepped forward and gave a slight nod. "Great. Sten and I aren''t sleepy yet. Let use with


    you."


    She wanted to say "no" desperately, but she couldn''t reject her children. Perhaps, these two were so


    smart that they already knew where she intended to go!


    Poor Isaac. Let''s just forget about it tonight. You should hurry home! She yelled in her heart.


    Nevertheless, she didn''t even dare to send him a text message! She waspletely subservient to her


    two sons, who were her adorable children! She had no other option but to cause Isaac a small amount


    of suffering.


    After obtaining a ss of water for themselves, Scott and Sten followed Patricia to the first-floor gym.


    The gymnasium had lots of mirrors and open floor space, suggesting that Sylvie could use it to practice


    her dance skills.


    When the two boys put their cups together, she could feel the constant vibration from her bag, but she


    was too timid to answer it. She was hesitant to tell her two sons that Isaac was waiting for her. Scott


    and Sten approached her as the two began to warm up their bodies.


    "Mommy, run threeps first, then do one hundred sit-ups, one hundred push-ups, and two hundred


    squats."


    As soon as Patricia heard that, her head went numb! She would most likely be so exhausted after


    doing everything that she would fall asleep! Afterpleting these actions, it would be impossible for


    her to meet Isaac.


    She took her coat off and ran in her tank top before tackling the following three challenges. It took her


    two hours to finish everything, and when she was done, she copsed on the floor, drenched in sweat


    and exhausted.


    Immediately afterpleting their respective workouts, Scott and Sten engaged in a lengthy brawl


    with one another. When they saw their mother lying on the floor, they stopped their actions, exchanged


    nces, and started walking toward her. "Mommy, if you''re up for it, you can join us in a bout of boxing


    or fencing."


    When Patricia heard that, she waved her hands dismissively. "No. No thanks. I''m going back to sleep."


    She finished off her floor routine with a final roll before standing up. Her legs were trembling, and she


    could feel her abdomen numbing.


    Ah! She was exhausted. Back in those days, she was forced to learn Taekwondo, wake up at 6:00 AM


    every day, wrap a sandbag around herself, and run for three miles. Recalling those days, she realized it


    had been a while since she exercised. Soon the two boys would start pressuring Patricia to start


    working out again because they secretly hoped she would be a wrestling champion one day.
