Chapter 904 A Minor Mishap

Kari hugged his thigh and stared at him with a blank expression. Her round and dark eyes were filled with longing for her father. "Will you stay here tonight?"

Jason wanted nothing more than to stay and spend time with the twins.

However, if Sue found out, she would rip him into pieces.

He smiled bitterly, not showing too many adult emotions in front of his kids as he said, "I need to work tomorrow, so I can't stay."

The nanny brought out a glass of water and was startled when she heard what Jason said. "Mr. Doyle, can't you stay here tonight?" "What's the matter?" Jason asked.

Nanny shared the challenge that she faced, "I promised Ms. Carter to stay and take care of the twins until she came back, but I didn't expect her to drink so much that she'd come home unconscious. My mother is sick and I have to go back to prepare the medicine that she needs, but if you want to leave..."

Kari and Teri were still young, so they could not be left alone.

Teri grabbed Jason's hand and begged, "Dad, please stay. We're well- behaved and won’t be of any trouble."

Jason felt sorry seeing how sensible the twins were. He nodded and agreed.

The next day.

Jason got up early, went online to search how to make hangover tonic, and then started cooking in the kitchen.

When Sue opened her eyes, she saw the ceiling.

She thought back to last night and recalled how she had splashed her wine on Jason. She covered her forehead. She could have held her emotions in check, but it was too late and she felt powerless.

"Mom, get up!" Kari opened the door and walked in while shouting.

Kari's temperament was similar to hers-bold and loud.

Sue sat up when she saw Kari. Her brows furrowed tightly because of the discomfort her hangover brought her.

"Mom, how are you doing?" Kari was concerned about her.

"I'm fine." Sue felt like her hangover was reduced by more than half when she saw how caring and thoughtful Kari was. She did not see Teri, so she asked, "Where's your sister?" "Teri is in the kitchen," Kari replied obediently, "Daddy is making tonic for you. You'll feel better once you drink it." "What did you say?" Sue's eyes widened.

"Daddy is in the kitchen, making tonic for you." Kari smiled. She was happy to see her parents together.

Sue rushed out of bed and stormed to the kitchen. She then saw Jason, who was busy cooking.

Teri stood in the corner obediently, looking at him with admiration.

Sue stooped and picked her daughter up as she said, "Baby, go and watch cartoons with your sister."

Teri looked at her with confusion. "Mommy, didn't you say that we can't watch TV in the morning?" "It's okay for today." Sue did not want to scream at Jason in front of the kids, so she took the twins to the sofa and turned on the TV.

She tried to turn up the volume as much as possible.

Kari covered her ears and protested, "Mom, it’s too loud."

Sue regained her senses, kissed his daughter's forehead, and lowered the volume. "My babies, I’ll prepare breakfast while you watch cartoons."

After she said that, Sue turned around, walked into the kitchen, and closed the door.

Teri looked at Kari and muttered, "Kari, something's wrong with Mom."

Kari touched her younger sister's hair. She was the same age as Teri, but because it was often emphasized to her that she was an older sister, she had to be more mature.

She shook her head like an adult and said, ' Mommy is going to scold Daddy." "Why would she do that? Why don't our parents live together?" Teri did not understand the situation. She wanted her parents to live together so that she would not have to miss her dad every day.

In the kitchen.

Sue had her hands on her waist. Her eyes widened as she asked, "Why are you here?"

Jason was one step away from finishing the tonic and added the remaining ingredients as stated on the website. "You were drunk yesterday." "What does it matter to you?" Sue wanted to tear him to pieces but dared not act too harshly because the twins were outside.

Jason turned off the stove, turned around, and looked at her helplessly." Yesterday when I sent you home, the nanny said that she can’t take care of the twins for the rest of the night, so I stayed." "I can take care of Kari and Teri myself. Get out!" Sue lowered her voice for fear of being heard by the twins, but she could not suppress her anger.

Jason was furious. 'You didn't want to be with me and chose to take on the responsibility of taking care of the twins, so why did you get so drunk?!' "If you can take care of them, why did you get so drunk?"

He suppressed his anger as he did not want to throw a tantrum at her. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

He did not do well in this matter. To be honest, although Sue had been reluctant to give him an opportunity, he knew he owed it to her.

Why did she get drunk?

Sue paused, remembering that she wanted to drink her sorrows away last night.

The bitterness she felt in her heart was too much to bear but they could be washed away when she drank, so she wanted to drink more.

Sue wanted to say that it was nothing but a minor mishap. After all, she did not think that the nanny would have something else to attend to.

However, when she was about to open her mouth, she could not bring herself to say the words. Hence, she shut her mouth and wondered why she was bothering herself with Jason.

What if she told him the truth?

He would still accuse her of being an incompetent mother.

She was upset and thought to herself, 'Is he trying to fight for custody of the twins? Don't even think about it!'

She picked up the broom on the side and stared at him. "What does this have to do with you? Get out of here!"

Jason thought that she was being unreasonable. Compared to her indifferent attitude before, she was like a hedgehog that was guarding herself against him. As soon as she saw him, she would prick him.

Their relationship would affect the twins. Jason was also worried that she would be hurt from such anger, so he soothed her, saying, "Okay, don't be angry. The hangover tonic is on the stove, please drink it."

He opened the door and went out.

Sue let go and the broom fell to the ground.

The twins watched Jason leave and ran up to him with their short chubby legs. They hugged his legs and said, "Dad, aren't you having breakfast with us?"

Jason squatted down and planted a kiss on their cheeks. He was not sure how long it would take for him to finally be able to watch the lovely twins grow up while being by their sides. He said, "I need to go to work, so listen to your mother."

Sue stood by the kitchen door with her head down.

Jason stood up and glanced at her. He could not see the expression on her face. He said, "Drink the tonic after you have breakfast."

Sue ignored him. Jason opened the door and left.

The twins looked at Sue and said, "Mom..."

Sue raised her head as tears flooded her eyes. The next moment, she smiled at the twins as if nothing had happened. "I'm going to make breakfast for you."
