"Yes, yes, me too," Mia quickly chimed in, her hand shooting up into the air. "I''ve been dreaming of Mommy and Brenda quite often recently. At times, it feels as though I can hear Brenda''s voice, gently coaxing me awake, and the sound of Mommy preparing chocte toast in the kitchen."Nathan, his expression tinged with mncholy, added, "I remember, Mommy''s chocte toast was always a bit salty. If it meant having Mommy and Brenda back, I''d dly eat salty chocte toast every day, even without the apaniment of fully roasted chicken and watermelon juice.""Noah echoed his sentiment, his gaze shifting to Micah. "Even though we''re young, we''ve never forgotten Mommy and Brenda.""I haven''t forgotten either!" Micah reassured, affectionately ruffling Noah''s hair. "Don''t worry, Mommy will be home soon!"Mr. Clemens Senior had once stated that children over the age of three would soon forget past events, and would swiftly ept Sadie''s recement as their new mom. Yet, two years had psed, and the three children had not forgotten Sadie. Quite the opposite, they eagerly anticipated her return.Recently, this sentiment had intensified. All three children had dreamt of her simultaneously. This was surely the unbreakable bond between a mother and her children!"Dad," Mia''s voice suddenly faltered, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight before her. Following her gaze, Micah spotted E standing beside a car in the nearby parking lot, clutching a collection of gifts, her face alight with anticipation. Upon seeing them approach, her delight was palpable as she waved them over Noah''s brow furrowed as he released Micah''s hand.Nathan, engrossed in solving a Rubik''s Cube as he walked, was initially puzzled by Mia and Noah''s abrupt halt. However, upon spotting E, he too came to a standstill.E quickly approached them, presenting the carefully selected gifts to the three children.Initially, the children were hesitant to ept, but E''s sincerity and radiant smile made it impossible to refuse. They epted the gifts, expressing their gratitude with a polite, "Thank you!"E responded with a smile and a gesture. "Starting today, you are all elementary school students. Study hard. If you need any help with your studies, you can ask me anytime."Despite her inability to speak, E held dual degrees in education and medicine and was a renowned expert in psychology. This made her an ideal choice for Mr. Clemens Senior to rece Sadie. E''s selection was not only due to her gentle nature and inability to speak, but also her capabilities that would aid in the children''s education."Thank you!" was the only response the three children could muster in reply to E."Let''s head home," Micah signaled, gesturing towards their house Andrew personally escorted E to her car.E waved a cheerful goodbye to the children before climbing into the car with Andrew.As the car pulled away, the children finally exhaled a collective sigh of relief.Mia pouted, her voiceden with emotion. "Actually, E is a nice person. If she weren''t trying to be our Mommy, I think I could be good friends with her."Nathan''s brow furrowed in concern. "She always takes such care in selecting gifts. If we refuse them, she persists until we ept. It leaves me feeling a bit guilty."Daddy, I don''t think we should continue this way," Noah, the most clear-headed of the trio, advised. "If you don''t have feelings for her and have no intention of marrying her, you should be honest with her. Ask her not to waste her efforts on us. It won''t be fair to anyone when Mommy returns.""You''re right," Micah agreed, nodding. He had voiced this sentiment before, but E had insisted that she acted out of her own volition, expecting nothing in return. She had hoped he wouldn''t feel burdened. He was at a loss for words. However, now that Sadie had returned, he felt it was crucial to rify the situation with E. He hoped she would understand and refrain from appearing frequently in his and the children''s lives.
