At the gate of the kindergarten, Waylen scooped Alexis and carried her into the gold Bentley Continental GT as she waved goodbye to Leonel.
Waylen carefully fastened her seatbelt.
As he reached across her to clip it into place, Alexis suddenly wrapped her arms around her father’s neck and whispered, “Daddy, my classmates are all saying that Leonel’s father had a ‘mistress’. What’s a mistress?”
Waylen was a little surprised by her question.

Alexis blinked at him curiously. “Dad, do you have a mistress?”
In response, Waylen knocked her on the head lightly.
The little girl could tell that her father wasn’t happy with her question, so she stopped asking and sat in the back seat obediently.
Waylen promised to buy some baby food for Marcus, so he drove to a well-known store downtown. With Alexis tagging along, Waylen carefully picked out what kind of food to get for Marcus.
Alexis was wearing a puffy bubble skirt that bounced around as she walked.
She knew her little brother well, so she gave her father advice on what to choose.
Looking at Alexis’ cute face, Waylen suddenly bent down and scooped her up to give her a big kiss.
There were a lot of other customers in the store, so Alexis felt embarrassed. She buried her face in Waylen’s neck and whispered, “Dad, what are you doing?”
Ignoring her question, Waylen asked nonchalantly, “Alexis, have I ever told you how much I love you?”

In fact, Alexis was tired of hearing it. He said it so often that she had grown calloused to it.
After mulling over what he said for a while, she remarked, “I know that Daddy loves Mommy the most.”
She and Marcus came in second.
Still, Alexis enjoyed the feeling of being pampered by her dad, so she nestled in his arms and asked, “Daddy, can you be the one to give me a bath tonight? I saw you give Mommy a bath once.”
Waylen almost choked. Clearing his throat, he patted Alexis on the butt and said, “Ask your husband to bathe you when you’re older.”
Balling up her small fists, Alexis said, “Then Marcus has to bathe by himself, too. Tell him to ask his wife bathe him when he grows up!”
The people around them couldn’t help but burst into laughter after hearing that.
